Not sure what #1 being #1 means for us. I read it, too.

[Muir]

This is a great idea.

A sort of "week in review."

Great posts Tyler, thanks!

[Muir]

Oh, and for all those "flaming homosexuals trapped in a man's body" (that was what she said) that do not like my titties.

Here's #7 on the list: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/wonderbra-economics-obamanomic-keynesianism-explained-using-victorias-secret-models

Or that other pious dipshit that asked me to get another avatar.

[Rusty Shorts]

Don't you dare change your avatar !! In fact, I think ZH should make it mandatory that you keep it.

[thesapein]

It kind of moves to the beat of ZH radio, falling in and out of sync.

[Rusty Shorts]

 - no problem staying in sync here.

[Cathartes Aura]

Oh, and for all those. . . that do not like my titties.

wow, who knew they were yours. . .

[thesapein]

Yikes, the comment section of that article is, errr, embarrassing. Do I really sound like that? 

[Rusty Shorts]

Yes Jesus, you sound like that.

[thesapein]

Thanks, I needed that.

[CrazyCooter]

This feature is an EXCELLENT idea. Same bat time, same bat channel please!

Re; # 3 and Morty Zuckerman. Did anyone notice that, this past week both Morty and Zbig Brzezinski BOTH openly criticized the man? That's TWO BILDERBERGERS in the same week that threw him under the bus. I'm thinking that they are done with this puppet.

I had the same observation which coincidentally occurred after recently viewing the Invisible Empire in which that group was specifically highlighted.

I found this sad story about a woman fighting cancer who also had to fight to get her silver from Scotiabank. I wonder if they were just stalling until they get some silver.

credit goes to GATA for putting this on their site.

It's kind of a problem when you sell the same silver bar fifty times and never expected anyone to actually ask for it........I'm sure this is not the last of these stories we have seen for silver and gold "certificates" aka ponzi paper

[GIANTKILR]

Here is one that should be on the top 10 next week:

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president's personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.

How green of Obama! These fucks expect us to reduce our carbon foot print by driving anemic electric cars and turning down our AC, so the first dog can cruise around in a private jet. This Obama kat just doesn't have a fucking clue!

[Gully Foyle]

I thought Reggie Love, snicker, was Obama's Butt boy? ( No Homo).

[Martel]

How come nobody's discussing this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/7895242/Mystery-trader-buys-a...

[Apostate]

There was a post on it:

[Martel]

Thanks, I should've known ZH had this stuff covered as well.

How about the

deepest 10 thoughts of the week?

Here's mine.

So I am browsing over the Drudge Report and I see two possible headlines that arouse my interest, simply because of the timing of the headline.

1st Headline:  BP successfully cap the oil leak.

2nd Headline: Congress passes Wall St regulation/reform:

So I think to myself "what are the odds of these 2 events happening on the same day?

Maybe the biggest movtivation of the spill was to be a distraction and to buy enough time to pass this piece of epic fraud.

It reminds of the mitch hedberg joke about how it would suck to be a moble home repo man.

Knock , knock. "Could you go cut your grass and then look that way for half an hour please."

I find it very suspicious of the tim ing of the oil spill and that of finance regulations passing.

If I had to predict the future, Obama will be drooling about the mouth, in the coming months, about Carbon Tax Credits, or maybe after midterm elections.

Obama is smarter than we give him credit. Already foooled the public with finance reform, and health care reform.

I expect "Energy REform will be next, and Obama will have batted a perfect 3 /3.

He go down as the President of Reform. This of course after America goes down first.

And of course Obama will get blamed in the end: lets cut a check to everyone mentality, but we all know that the bankers and corporatrations and sold out politicans did this to us?

[Kreditanstalt]

The top ten stories are very revealing, aren't they?  All about "us" vs. "them".

In keeping with the times, it seems that readers are continuing to concentrate on stories having clear "victims" (the middle classes) and "villains" (the financial elite)...

That this is not the whole truth matters not.  That the top ten stories read have little to do with markets, trading or getting one's own ass out of this mess also matters not. 

That the real enemy ~ government and over-regulation ~ are not mentioned is telling.

The masses are only interested in holding out their hands, whining loudly about "the rich bankers have stolen the people's wealth" and running to government for more (paper) money...

Funny how everyone becomes a Keynesian when his living standard is threatened...

[Bear]

Thanks for providing us the Week in review ... if I missed it I can now read it.

[Luke 21]

This will be very helpful to keep up on all the great posts on zerohedge. Thanks.

[jaiball]

Just wanted to say you are all welcome for my fabulous idea. ;)

[Hunch Trader]

Many sites have a day/week/month/all time most read feature, would be very welcome here too, this is a great first step into right direction.
