"... if more money were going to the market, then they would lose much of their value and we would lose profits because we are the ones who print money! That's why we invented inflation, to keep governments in fear and directing money back to us through the so-called Quantitative Easing Policies."

I like the Bernank holding up the world in the background.

The hangover would look even better if the city was shown burning in the background.

I could do that, but with these old illustrations if I do too much it defeats what I call the time bandit effect.

Wrong way to do this William, but what is the cheapest set of software programs I need to create a youtube video called "Hitler finds out he can print a trillion"

I will seriously do it if I know a) how to get the orginal media. b) how to read the budget proposal. c) if clapper, obama, and snowden pics should even be involved.

Love the subtle parts:  the drones seen through the window, and Bernanke in place of Atlas, holding up the world, in the painting.

I had to gin something up to match the overall mood of the week/month and that is the result. The shitty fiat paper is enabling all of the unpleasantries that we are suffering collectively. And he is the king of the shittiest of all deals.

And that stupid charade we witnessed yesterday is just Data FrankenDoddism. The big punt. All pseudo substance leading to another BIG ZERO.

Hey WB7, some fantastic bokeh with that Hexanon 60mm at f1.2!

My Pentax 50mm f1.4 gets close, but not like that!

What camera did you mount it on for that shot?

Leica M9?

Sat, 01/18/2014 - 12:54 | 4343980 williambanzai7

An Epson RD1. I bought all my 35mm lenses before Leica came out with the M8 so they turned out to be a great investment. I have the M8, but I think the M9 is priced over the top. The Sony A7R is an awesome camera for 1/3 the price. You can see the Hexanon 60mm mounted on one in my Flickr. Of course, one can squeeze a good image out of every camera ;-)

Look at the beginning of my Flickr if you want to see my photography.

Thanks, good stuff, sweet lens.

An acquaintance has an earlier model Sony Alpha (NEX-3?) that he swears by (was a Nikon guy).

Yup, the American Dream has been sold.

The family farm was eminent domain'ed by the County and a Pharmaceutical company to build a strip mall to increase tax revenues.

The Parents are on S.S. living in a roach-infested apartment with rent ramped up each year by the corporate owners.

The innocent little girl lost her innocence and instead of farming or being 1/2 of the bedrock raising a family is doing porn in SoCal, drives a 325i, and is addicted to painkillers and Jimmy Choo's.

we don’t think that financial stability concerns should at this point detract from the need for monetary policy accommodation which we are continuing to provide

 

i think she is a little too highly leveraged

William        The "Atlas Bernank" in the painting was a nice touch. I get more of a vampire feel when I think of a QE hangover.

LES SAVY FAV - Rome (Written upside down)

We're in a great deal of trouble
for just a wee bit of fun.
Upon kissing the princess
she turned into a stun gun.
The young ones wait in the feilds,
hoping that their Detroit will heal.

It's amazing how sentimental they get
when they realize
We're taking it away.
God knows who build Rome today.

Seating Ceaser in the mezzanine,
his cloak is soaked in methylene blue-
plate special in the red light district.

I went from post-modern protoge
to post modern passe.
Wretched from the get go
passion's so retro.
Big spenders stand down,
The fashion of forgo has taken the town.

We're in a great deal of trouble
for just a we bit of fun.
Upon taking to the skies
we burnt up in the sun.

The standards at the office have been
changed;
A sneaky pack has been arranged.
If you prefer insurance to the plague
then take it out. Put it away
Born in a bang in a house up in flames.
The dead snake system remains.
