Meet Pagrubo-klepto-idea, the common Wall Street hermit  crab. Social animals usually congregate for protection or mating. However, biologists have recently discovered that crusty Pagrubo has a more self serving social agenda, to kick other crabs out of their shells and to move into new Too Bigger To Fail homes. This elaborate "shell game" is what gives Pagrubo it's animalistic purpose. 

 

Pagrubo carries the entire load of its derivatives bullshit portfolio on its back and consequently requires ever increasing shells of moral hazard to remain viable...

I want a "chia gook" named "Billy Gook"

My final rant:

  Conspiracy Theory 

Brad Friedman recently noted that the Romney family is at least partial owner (may actually have full ownership given the opaque nature of its ownership) of a voting machine company which may play a crucial role in a number of swing states this presidential election.

The immediate corporate media response was "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory"!

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was recently questioned about the well-publicized presidential drone kill list, to which she responded, "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory."

Now, any so-called media talker, or "journalist" (forgive me for trashing that honorific) who can't answer the question, who owns the three major voting machine companies and what portion of the vote will they affect --- is too idiotic for adult discussion, but then their patently robotic reply to everything factual is always the same, "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory."

Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! news show is probably the closest thing to a valid, daily real news content show in existence in America; she reports on important topical events ignored by the corporate media --- yet sadly even her show goes only so far, addresses reality to only a low level, but no farther.

A recent talk by Noam Chomsky, the embodiment of the quasi-radical, perfectly illustrates this.  Chomsky, who enjoyed a very long tenured position at MIT, never would bit the hand that kept him well fed; he would keep all discussion at the political level, never venturing towards the real powers-that-be, always the perfect disinformation specialist!

In 2011, Chomsky gave a series of talks around the country, which might be called his "Wall Street apologist" tour.  Well into his mealy-mouthed speech, Chomsky would state that the Wall Street fellows were really good people, the problem was "the system."  (This is such obvious dishonest nonsense --- who lobbied and financed the decriminalization of financial fraud, after all?)

This has always been the crux of Chomsky's talks --- it just happened, nobody was really responsible, etc., the perfect Wall Street lackey.

Chomsky has long been a supporter of the Warren Commission's contrived fantasy on the JFK assassination --- just as Chomsky immediately supported the Cheney-Bush 9/11 conspiracy theory, and Chomsky finally made mention of the destructive effects of the offshoring of American jobs in 2011!  (2011 ? ? ?)

Chomsky also just loves to slip in revisionistic nonsense about the Kennedy administration --- he just loves his clever revisionism.

Years ago, in the 1980s in Washington, D.C., I attended the typical cheapo, after hours gathering of a bunch of poor, volunteer political activists at the end of a campaign, and one fellow passed around a photo he had taken, just by chance, of Henry Kissinger and two other men at a diner immediately outside a CIA facility in central Virginia.

He was shocked to learn that one of the other two fellows was Noam Chomsky, with the third being Robert Gates; they were attending an intelligence briefing seminar.

Not that long ago, Democracy Now's Amy Goodman interviewed Steve Coll on his latest book on ExxonMobil, yet remarkably never inquired as to the ownership of that oil behemoth.  (Nor did any other media personage bother to inquire either.)

Steve Coll is the president of the New America Foundation, a quasi-non-partisan foundation financed in part by the Pew Charitable Trusts (oil money) and Peter G. Peterson (private equity leveraged buyout guy and protégé of oil/banking giant, David Rockefeller).

Peterson has parked his latest, pro-austerity astroturf outfit, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget ("Fix the debt" is their mantra, which means the 99% must pay off their debts) within the New America Foundation, of course.

Personally, I have nothing against Paul Krugman, who claims to be a "liberal."  In fact, sometimes I occasionally agree with him --- on those few occasions he actually falls on the side of the public interest --- the vast majority of times Krugman appears to always side with the speculators and central bankers.

When the housing bubble was obvious to all --- Krugman claimed there was no bubble!

When the rampant oil speculation was obvious to all --- Krugman claimed that speculation wasn't the cause for the rise in prices (when the paper market price is 13.8 times higher than the physical market price, it's pretty darn obvious)!

Recently, Krugman claimed that QE (the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Easing) was anathema to the banks --- they didn't want it!  (Now that is too idiotic to even comment upon.)

Also recently, Krugman gave a talk before the EPI --- if you want a bit of cognitive dissonance, be sure to look it up.

Krugman has almost always come down on the side of the speculators and central bankers since his appointment to the Group of Thirty (Larry Summers, Jean-Claude Trichet [forget what he was indicted for], Ernest Zedillo [didn't Mexico just attempt to extradite him from the USA??], et al.), a group of the top monetary and financial types, established by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1978.

This was the group who recommended the removal of "legal risk" regarding credit derivatives after reviewing the JPMorgan report, Glass-Steagall: Overdue for Repeal, which circulated among the top banks in the 1990s.  (This led to the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act in 1995.)  By "legal risk" they meant the decriminalization of financial fraud, thus it came to be.

When we look behind the curtain, reality becomes much clearer, much sharper in focus.

When CIA director, Richard Helms (the only Director of Central Intelligence to be convicted of lying to Congress), was involved in a traffic accident at the entrance of the Chestnut Lodge Sanitarium in Rockville, Maryland in the 1970s (an upscale private institution for schizophrenics from the wealthier families), he told the newsies that he was seeing a psychoanalyst there.  (A comedic movie was later made based upon this false premise.)

Of course, it later turned out that Director Helms was directing the removal of highly sensitive --- and self-incriminating --- files and records from the wing of that sanitarium which entirely served the CIA's MK ULTRA program.  (While all the data about their operations there aren't known, it has been ascertained that it was used for memory erasure, and successfully so.)

Several years ago a young friend returned from Canada, excited about a documentary on MK ULTRA he had viewed in that country --- a documentary banned in the USA?

MK ULTRA wasn't simply about mind control or programmed assassins --- that was one of its numerous subprojects --- but thought control, the control of the medium.

This was slowly realized, year by year, decade by decade, with the concerted consolidation of the US media, the explosive growth in think tanks, and utilizing said think tank personnel to "convey the news" --- along with other subtle forms of propaganda, public relations, and political process control.

The CIA's MK ULTRA program --- the ultra control of the message --- was the obvious phase of the financial-intelligence-complex, the top tier of plutocratic control which came into existence during World War II, when the Wall Streeters created the American intelligence establishment, not for purported national security purposes, but for financial intelligence gather and control to profit themselves and their families.

When Juan Gonzalez did his outstanding reportage the New York City contract with SAIC, where their consultants were finally arrested by the FBI for overt thievery, robbery and embezzlement, the story stopped there --- had the resources and a real media --- been available, perhaps the stunningly obvious questions might have been asked:  why would the NYC government contract with SAIC, which copied their sensitive financial records, which SAIC had screwed up on their previous contract with NSA (but copied so many of their files), and before that their FBI contract (but copied so many of their files) --- almost appears their entire agenda was just copying sensitive files and consolidation of a centralized database?

When Helms approached CIA Director Allen Dulles sometime around 1950 or so, to create MK ULTRA, assisted by the advice and later consultation from Edward Bernays and the Nazi scientists brought to the USA after World War II, a process was initiated, leading to Helms and his group --- under investigation in the 1970s --- to relocate the MK ULTRA program to the DoD/Pentagon.

When Carl Bernstein published his story in the Rolling Stone on the CIA and the media in 1977, detailing the deep penetration of the media by the US intelligence establishment, he was exposing only a single node of manipulation and control among a considerably large and expanding network.

Today, we are exposed to the same non-content, the same misinformation and disinformation from Fox, NPR, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. --- the same stooges from the same disinformation-peddling gangs:  the Brookings Institution, the Cato Institute, American Enterprise Institute, Peterson Institute, the Heritage Foundation, etc., this foundation or that trust, ad infinitum, ad nauseum --- all very pre-canned and psychometrically designed.

When Chris Hayes, faux-liberal, responds with "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory" to Brad Friedman's concerns on the voting process, he's the same Chris Hayes who wrote articles proclaiming that the NAFTA Transnational Highway to be just so much conspiracy theory --- when the plans and agenda appeared on numerous web sites, such as the site of the Council on Foreign Relations, various Chambers of Commerce, and other business forums.

When ABC's Brian Williams, former Pentagon PR spokesman, talks the "news" he really isn't that far removed from the DoD.

There isn't any media in America today --- only MK ULTRA.

MK ULTRA is ultra control and it appears the super-rich have adequately proven just who is in control!

good lord. Classic fracturing of the opposition here.

Noam bleedin Chomsky has spent a lifetime cutting through the bullshit. He is one of the few academics to vociferously and continuously discuss the pernicious reality of zionist enterprise and US imperialism. If it werent for the writings of a handful of academics and journalists like Chomsky i would never have had the curiosity to become a reader of a site like zero hedge - so if his 'agenda' is disinformation his effect is the opposite of his intentions.

So he doesnt get everything right all the time. But jesus, if you're gonna have a rabid rant, save it for people who are the actual problem, not part of the (however imperfect) solution

After NYC Nanny Murders, Parents Wonder How to Trust Again...."DONALDSON JAMES

Oct. 26, 2012
Parents from around the country are horrified by the news in New York City that a nanny, entrusted with the care of three children, allegedly stabbed two of them to death Thursday, then reportedly attempted to take her own life.

The children's mother, Marina Krim, returned to her luxury apartment with her 3-year old daughter Nessie after a swim lesson to find her 6-year-old daughter Lucia and 1-year-old son Leo bleeding to death in the bathtub.

The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, a woman in her 50s who had worked for the family for more than a year, stabbed herself in front of the mother, according to New York City police.

Neighbors heard the screams of the 34-year-old mother, "You slit her throat."

Relatives of the nanny said she had worked for the Krims for more than a year and they had been careful hiring her. The Krims had even visited Ortega's family in the Dominican Republic.

Neighbor Marcellina Lovera told ABCNews.com today, "I knew them for more than 20 years. And she's really nice. I'm in shock. It's out of this world. There was nothing to make me think she would do this. Nothing."

High on spectacle and sensationalism.  Sub-zero on intellectual, rational and factual content.

Methinks thou dost protest too much about Keynes, my dear.  Something of a fetish?  After all the man has been dead since 1946 and no one ever slavishly followed his ideas; partly because his ideas kept changing ... whereas you, WB, promulgate the totally false notion that Keynes advocated deficit spending.

In fact, at its simplest, Keynes proposed taxing during good times, so as to spend the surplus during bad times and maintain full employment/avoid social unrest.

One can argue back and forth about whether (or not) governments are good at allocating monies and resources - generating employment - though it is a fact that the military/industrial complex (funded by government) accounts for the pork barrel for many states fielding politicians of similar view to WB.

Hypocrites all ... and where would WB be, if not for the government-funded development of computers and the internet?  So much for Libertarian self-sufficiency!

I have no time for the Obomber generally, but he was right to say that no one ever created anything in isolation.

No business could exist, today, if the state had not enabled the building of roads, railways, waterways and, latterly, mass communication.

I personally think that everything is now as fucked as the Roman Empire was.  And I also think that WB is providing a clownish/circus distraction from what is really going on/has gone on.

I would be impressed if he did one of his photo-shop treatments on 9/11, but I won't hold my breath.

Challenge WB ... do your stuff on WTC7 and Larry Silverstein saying, "Pull it".

Do your stuff on this:   http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/bbc_wtc7_videos.html?q=bbc_wtc7_videos.html

...you didn't build that!

Yeah! I mean, where would we be if the government hadn't fought the Revolutionary War! Yeah! Where would we be if the Emperor hadn't built the acqueducts of Europe! Yeah! Where would we be if the Pharoah hadn't supported the preists of Heliopolis! Yeah! Yeah! Just face it WB, you are nothing more than a reactionary cog in the glorious machine built by greater minds, governmental minds, (mind you), than yours. You are nothing but a little hermit crab, piggybacking off of the genius of central planning, bureaucratic brilliance, and the inevitable success of the 5-year plan.

Hopefully the sarcasm drips right out of your computer, Setarcos.

Yes, nothing that leaves the mind can be pure... the POINT, however, has to do with warning about slippery slopes.  Keynes may have meant well, but he cracked open a door that allowed scum to abuse what otherwise could be considered a noble idea.  Often good ideas are better left as mere ideas...

"No business could exist, today, if the state had not enabled the building of roads, railways, waterways and, latterly, mass communication."

The "enabling" entailed mass murder.  Anyway... to say that the State is necessary for the presence of business is a bit of a stretch.  Well, OK, if you're measuring in business licenses issued by the very State; but, check into the "black market" and you'll see that your assertion doesn't hold up (that "NO," ZERO, businesses could exist w/o the State).

If you want to get ONE point across then thread for one point only.  You've got THREE pretty distinct topics/points here; anyone nixing one of them can be seen as nixing all of them.

As I have told you before, these notions about Keynes and monetary/fiscal activism are not memes that I created. Your lack of perception somehow prevents you from discerning that the label 'Keynesian", has come to denote something more than what the man may have said, both in the media as well as the halls of academia.

A similar fate has befallen the name Ayn Rand as well. To be called a Randian does not necessarily mean one is a scholar and pristine disciple of Rands works. As we have seen, many who publicly profess to be Randians are in fact hypocrites.

You can accuse me of inventing this phenomena, but then you probably believe Al Gore and Mad Hedge Fund Trader invented the Internet as well.

OK pax, if we could agree that neo-Keynesianism rules, with the likes of Krugman.

You are right that the words of manifold individuals seldom correspond with those of avowed disciples.

Precious few Christians actually adhere to the words Jesus is supposed to have said.

Marxists have erected ideologies on just fragments of his writings.

BTW I never accused you of inventing these kinds of phenomena.  They have gone on for millenia.

Interesting that you resort to nonsense: "but then you probably believe Al Gore and Mad Hedge Fund Trader invented the Internet as well."  Ad hominen assertions are not widely regarded as valid arguments.

"

Best regards to the union of Keynesian moth trolls."  LOL.  That makes no sense whatsoever.

i knew i recognized that green-frosted smokable-lookin thingy...yup, exactly as i remember it.  the best experiments are the ones you survive.  oh, and when you retain your vision...and the other four senses...you can safely call it a victory.  another win for janus.  sweet.

they say that one should write what one knows.  this is bad practice for janus; insofar as i 'know' so very little...it is the very things of which i know the least that interest me most.  in fact, my curiosity and my knowledge are inversely proportional.  the things i 'know' are so few and so boring i more or less ignore them altogether; save for when i start doubting 'everything', and it's again important to reaffirm certain 'knowable' facts.  other than that, no, i think i'll keep my attention trained on the intricate, the majestic, the sublime...the awesome unknowable stuff. 

there's all kinds of cool stuff janus is wildly ignorant of.  i learn about some of it each and every day.  the rest of my time is spent filling the cavities of my incomplete knowledge involving a whole host of subjects that i've, at one point or another, developed some fascination for.  you have to have a thick skin to learn.  in order to learn, you must have both a thick skin and a good sense of humor about one's self.  understanding how stupid you are is embarrasing.  you just feel ashamed sometimes.  you spend all this time forming assumptions based on peacemeal knowlege and your impossibly flawed interpretation of that peacemeal knowledge; and so you often must realize that everything you've thought, and the images that you've gone a long way in forming, were just as wrong as wrong can be.  i figure it's always best to start over than to add to misapprasial...can't build atop misapprasial. 

janus is vexed by a boundless facination viz. human beings.  for you see, human beings, fascinating though they may be, can likewise be trouble-makers.  you can't let them out of your sight for a second; no telling what they'll get themselves into.  like i was saying, homo sapien...it comes in a variety of forms.  limitless, really.  humanity has arrayed itself about several strata; one of which is something we call culture.  culture can, again, be atomized down to clan and family; but for now, i'll stick with the broadly defined 'culture'.  which is a fancy way of saying i'm going to do a tacky thing; which is to say i'm going to speak about people in general terms.  but janus cares not; cause janus ain't got no hate in his heart.  but i do get angry; and some cultural 'tics' are, in a word, abhorent...to put it graciously.

i often scrutinize the various cultures that comprise our big blue ball.  do i have a purpose with the scrutiny as such?  sure i do.  janus is only trying to help.  i'm on the lookout for ways in which i can be of service.  little things that, when taken together, make for a big-ole mess o' help for the world's myriad cultures and kinds. 

one group that's grabbed the ole attention of late are these hindus...lots of em, i'm told.  more on the way; or so they say.  i can't tell you one way or the other; never been to the asian subcontinent.  i hear it's muggy.  which isn't an adjective they use on the tourism brochures.  the rest of the time it's being assaulted from above; some angry -- and probably hydralimbed -- hindu god dumps these things called "monsoons" over almost 60% of their landmass.  "monsooon" is a nice way of saying 'misery made manifest with ceaseless, drenching rains'...which, i believe, is a rough translation of the word monsoon.  they probably won't have much to say about monsoons in those brochures either; except if they're highlighting their absense.  which is rather nice of them.  they have tigers in india; but that doesn't do much to make up for the mugginess or the monsoons, at least as far as janus is concerned.  in fact, you could even view it as a negative...that is, if you found yourself face to face with a bengal tiger -- without recourse to a gun, or a hindu who's not so fleet of foot (hindus are not renown for their spinting prowess; i'll go so far as to say that the hindu lacks sprinting prowess altogether.  which makes them an first-rate companion in tiger-filled jungles).

even though i haven't ever physically visited india, i feel i'm beginning to know the place through its people.  only, the ones i meet are mostly very wealth; which, i'm told, isn't a representatvie sample.  again, i take these things on faith.  if i were to rely on my experience and that alone, i'd have to conclude that these hindus are a uniformly wealthy lot who have taken the IT world by storm...monsoon-style.  i met a hindu chic the other day (probably a brahmin), and she said her name meant 'desire' in hindi.  i took it on faith.  it was easy to believe.  it was even easier with her bein all hot and whatnot.  hot lil brahmin hottie.  desire indeed.  sinner.

i've been learning lots of stuff about the hindus; and i've even remembered some of it.  for example, this god named shiva...well, let's just say that ole shiva and janus have MUCH in common.  you could say we're cut from the same cloth.  i'll come back to shiva in a second; there's something else i can help the hindu with...something that will go a long way in double-knotting the good-ole tie that binds.  i think i'm gonna hike from one hindu village to the next spreading this lil gem; one of the grandest jokes ever, and ONE BILLION people have never experienced its joy.  i always felt i'd be famous for something; and now i know what that something is.  i've found my sacred purpose.

did you ZHealots know that the average hindu has never, and i mean NEVER, been treated to the good-ole 'pull my finger' gag?  you heard me right.  now, push your chair away from your desk and let all this sink in.  they'll write legends about janus and whoever else seizes this golden opportunity.  the hindu girls will want to be with you; the hindu guys will want to be you.  you'll be a prince among men; that's for sure.  and i doubt you'll ever have to buy your own drinks...but i wouldn't drink anythign over there.  and i'd get a few immunizations before you set forth.  but, on the bright side, you'll only have to learn three hindi words.  can't be too tough.  

i'd bet anything that shiva would take to the ole 'pull my finger' gag like a voter to propaganda...by which i mean that he couldn't get enough of it.  in fact, just like on a voter, you could pull the same gag over and over and over.  we can forgive shiva; he's just keen to fart jokes.  voters, on the other hand, are a grim and mangy lot.  it's hard to forgive people who aren't sorry; oh, don't get me wrong, they're sorry alright.  likely sorry enough to vote yet again in november.  they just lack contrition.  they are deficient when it comes to penatence.  i suspect we'll all get a taste of thier sorry democratic ways so very soon. 

back to shiva.  i wish they sold some abridged hindu holy books.  as it stands, there's just too many of them.  somebody should do something about it.  short of that, somebody should at least print something that skips ahead to the really good parts in these hindu demi-god sagas.  hindus do not get in a hurry when it comes to recording the anals of their gods...and they don't want you to miss the smallest detail. basically, janus wants to know the following: who fucks whom?  who kills whom, and why?  who gets what, and how do they get it?  who am i supposed to cheer for?  that should cover it.

in spite of all the towering obstacles that stand betwixt janus and his familiarity with shiva, i have been able to collect a few nuggets of wisdom.  for example: shiva has a third eye that opens when he's angry.  is that cool or what?  his schtick is basically righteous indignation.  sounds like janus and shiva are of a similar kind.  it gets better...shiva smokes the good stuff.  he's married (none of us are perfect).  he's basically calm, cool and collected...but, piss him off and, well, you don't wann piss shiva off:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0WjRmqHz48

creative destruction is what they call it.

i look forward to sharing more about shiva as it comes my way.

today i read some lickspittle from cnbc...he said it doesn't matter if the gold isn't there -- by 'there' he means at the fed or at fort knox.  this kind of thing is frown-making for janus.  i think i'm angry.  yup, there goes the ole third eye, janus is definitely angry.  i wonder what shiva would do?

i am become death/

the destroyer of worlds,

janus

i'm still proud of my Dawgs. firstly, i don't think the score reflected the progress we've made.  really, we got some bad bounces and whatnot.  you have to move past such things.  always bear in mind that it's a single battle; not the end of the war.  i believe we can still make it to a BCS bowl game.  i like our odds against LSU (but i think it's in death valley); and the rest of the games are more than winnable.  secondly, this year's bama squad is perhaps the best team that's ever suited up.  they are in no way showing signs of diminunition.  solid...spectacular in fact...at every single position.  perfectly coached.  God-given talent.  devotion.  spirit.  genius at every major coaching role.  just amazing.  i said this about last year's bama squad, i meant it then; i'm saying it about this year's, and i mean it doubly-so.  it's a thing to behold.  i take my hat off, bama.  thirdly, it is clear that we are not the best team in the nation.  i do believe, however, that we are in the top three or four in the SEC.  if that is the case, it's best we take this loss and the motivation that should, if this loss is properly understood, see us through the remainder of the season undefeated (and this bad of a score-board loss keeps us under the radar...never let em see you commin).

so, i guess i owe this'n to ya, alabama:

i think i'm gonna go smoke something.  tobacco? sure.  bali blue shag (halfzware)? yup.  anything else?  you know, janus did find something on the floor the other day.  don't know where it came from.  looks familiar.  frosted...wicked-frosted.  nice.  doesn't matter; as everybody knows, it's a good practice to smoke anything you find on the floor that looks halfway smokable.  hasn't failed me so far.  can't fail when it's THAT wicked-frosted.

okay:

mexican coca cola...check.

bali blue...check.

lighter...check. 

familiar looking frosted thing...check.

sweet tunes...double-check.

okay, WildBill...T - 30 minutes till kickoff. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jLj-L5rzC8

if (when) we win; janus will return for a fuckin flurry of writin!  it's gonna be uber-epic.

i wish i hadn't been so hasty in swearin off drinkin for a while.  should've thought about nights like this.

all the same, it's best if janus stays focused...so as to better concentrate the WINNING VIBES telepathically to my Bulldogs; and, of course, transmit the proper defensive sets to coach wilson and the right plays at the right time to dan mullen.

okay, so i admit it, i truly do wish i were in alabama tonight.  i kinda miss it right now.  but that'll fade.

have i ever told you ZHealots bout a prank i intend to someday play?  well, it's a well known fact that bama plays sweet home alabama before the start of every football game...someday i'm gonna mix a song that starts with the opening riff of sweet home, and then quickly shifts to this sermon a la neil young...i'm gonna bribe some lacky to play it right before the kickoff...right when those bitchez are worked into a slimy lather.  fuck em. 

neil young is awesome...observe:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVRxdPWV3RM

the university of alabama is still my #2 team; but they sealed their fate a la the neil young sermon-thingy when they de-frocked kenny "the snake" stabler.  the crimson robes of their high-preistly orders are stained with....well, whatever stands out all prominent-like against crimson, and which would be indicative of a sickening and callow betrayal of one of their own.  UA, whomsoever is this clown? the one doing the color commentary -- yeah, that one -- sucks.  you can tell eli gold (see, there are jews in the south) feels frumpy whenever he has to endure a game seated next to this afore mentioned clown.  janus used to mute the tv; tune in the radio call, and enjoy the snake and eli deliver the goods (except when gary danielson was doing the CBS afternoon games...danielson is in a league of his own).  no more.  seems you can do anything in the south, so long as it doesn't involve pussy or intoxicants.  you can be the most wretchedly corrupt and corpulent scoundrel this side of the mississippi, and as long as you show up on sunday mornin and wednesday evening, there is no sin in ya.  but, BUT, darest thou imbibe or plow, an ignoble fate awaiteth thou. 

fuck em, kenny stabler (whom i have met 3 times; great guy, the snake)!  janus has yer back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbca0EncfW4

remember this, dawgz -- and you've known it since pop warner -- the harder YOU hit the less it hurts.  the team willing to sacrifice the most, on EVERY GODDAM DOWN/TILL THE BLURT OF EVERY GODDAM WHISTLE will leave the field with the most...those willing to sacrifice ALL will leave with ALL.  that's the way this world works.

now let's show em what it means to be MEAN!  let's shock the whole fuckin world with some vicious brutality!  let's walk off the field with EVERYTHING!

rock & roll,

janus

we tried to hire jimbo fisher at one point.  he didn't want the job.  i heard that he'd already been in discussions with FSU about the Bowden Throne, and that he (jimbo), failing some unforseen tomfoolery, would, whenever bobby "dad-gum" bowden was good and ready, be welcome to occupy it, for as long as it pleased bobby bowden (careful, FSU...look what happened to all-barn when they let an old man (who should retire and enjoy life as a spectator...there comes a time, guys...there always comes a time) and a couple of baby-boomer half-wits make decisions on sentiment and a sense of paternal entitlement.  they treat these programs as their lil feifdoms, and do thereby destroy them.  auburn's toast for five years...easy.  and they can thank pat dye and jay jacobs and jay gogue for all of it.  there's more five and four star recruits on that team than nearly any other in the nation.  and it took a hail-mary in overtime to beat the university of brack-water-bay louisiana...in OVERTIME...to secure their only win so far...their ONLY win so far.  and this was at home...at HOME.  i hope they partied hard.  there is no mirth in auburn, and none is forthcoming.  and, yes, all-barn...you do have to play out the remainder of your games -- i think they lost by 4,281 today).

anyway, i'm more than happy that things worked out the way they did.  i wouldn't trade mullen for anybody; and i'm including saban...honestly.  reason being: i think mullen wants to build something special at State.  i think he has charecter.  i think he will turn down the marquis jobs when they come callin (i have it on good word that he already turned down the UF job...but it's ungentlemanly to discuss it).  the future is bright in starkvegas.  the present ain't too bad neither.

but, yeah, FSU is for real.  if the two played today, i'd take FSU straight up. but driskol is developing fast.  this kid can play ball.  i think the rest of the offense is buyin what he's sellin.  and, honestly, i like muschamp, too.  but i can more than understand why you hate the gators.  i have gator-fan friends; and they can be almost as obnoxious as all-barn fans. 

it's been a good season so far.  with the notable exception of tonight's tragedy in tuscaloosa, that is.

here's a great clip of the all-barn athletic department and various administrators at work.  guess which one's pat dye.

Don't know if you knew or not but Bowden is a big Bama fan. His family goes over there and holds a week long football camp for kids evey year. He built FSU football into what it is today. I remember going to games where you could watch the game through peoples feet in the stands (the erector set stadium).

The boosters wanted him gone, stabbed him in the back and that was that.

Auburn...never had any respect for them after they paid FSU two million dollars to get out of their schedule with us after they "fired" Terry Bowden...they knew daddy was coming to kick their ass. We had to cast around and get Louisiana Tech and Tim Rattay on the schedule at the last minute.

As far as the lizards (Gators) are concerned, they've always looked down their nose at us and every other team in the state. And Spurrier was the worst, a fucking egomaniac and a perfect fit for them. The guy would moan and cry to the NCAA about anything & everything. He (and Foley) quit playing the Canes when they were good and started scheduling some bi-directional schools and now UF trys to claim if they beat us and we beat the Canes they win the bragging rights to the state...without playing the Canes at all. Half of them are inbreds from from the swamps and the other are half wit old money, good ole boy snobs.

Hell, Spurrier/Foley even threatened to quit playing us when he/they wanted the FSU-UF game moved to the front of the season because we were spankin that ass at the last of the season and upsetting their dreams of national championsips. The legislature said...ummm, no...you will play FSU.

Course they got revenge on us...lol. I don't want to talk about that one, though we still say one of their ops spiked the gumbo in Nawlins, half the team was sick.

Yeah, Noles & Gators hate each other like Auburn & Bama hate each other...no doubt about it.

From the album: Led Zeppelin III
Released: October 5, 1970
Recorded: May - August 1970

LYRICS:
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

Brother, I brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man.

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole,
Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole!
