Guest Post: Gold Pricing And The Flows Of Gold Metal
http://www.ingoldwetrust.ch/gold-pricing-and-the-flows-of-gold-metal
Daily Commute in NY?
NYC/LI only - but Albany, Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester, Buffalo and Watertown all have 10-15 minute commutes.
How about crooked politicians? NY takes the cake in that one!
Idaho's "worst at" looks like a "best at" to me.
All them guns and black helicopters.
Boris is move Idaho! More potato and is less government, what more is wanting?
Virginia's most motorcycle deaths merely seems Darwinian.
How about "biggest pig at the Federal Trough", but we might have to fight Maryland for the title.
How in the Hell is Minnesota "worst at" tornadoes, when Oklahoma has BY FAR more tornados, both in absolute numbers as well as in the highest occurence per square mile?
By the way, I wonder how they determined that the residents of New Mexico were the most antisocial --- the greatest number of cell phones and e-gadgets per capita, perhaps? Or maybe the greatest per capita rate of Facebook accounts --- nothing says "antisocial" like so-called "social media".
D.C. (oops that doesn't qualify)
Apparently Washington State is the 'best' at everything. ;]
Anyone who has ever spent time in the suck-hole called Atlanta knows the commute is worse there than ANYWHERE (including New York City or any part of California, even).
LOL - check out Utah.
I'll have to ask my Mormon friends about that one.
Utah should have been "housewives on perscription meds"
Idaho, weakest govt influence. Thats a bad thing??
-whoops, missed you there FukSam
I da I da I da Ho!!!
it's because the NSA watches all the porn we do while we watch it
Good catch. Bon mot.
We were framed because that one meter reader got caught with that dog. You build a hundred bridges and be known as a master bridge builder, but get caught fucking just one pig....
It seems that somebody just randomly put crap on the map.
For starters, WA is bad for suicides, not Alaska.
CA has the worst traffic and everyone knows it, especially after the 405 BS...
MT is bad for drunk driving yea, but METH is it's worse spot(you can find it anywhere)
and so on, and so forth...
speaking as a canadian and having to pay more for shit that anywhere else in North America for absolutley no fucking reason at all other than we're too fucking stoopid to make the retailer change their 50 year old tactic, I must say Ho Lee Fuk is Maui expensive. $500 at the grocery store for a family of 5 and 3 days later all that's left is a bag of dried farts.
Having spent several weeks at a time on the Big Island, I found the only way to shop and eat without costing a fortune was to shop the regular farmers markets and cook for myself. Fortunately, I LOVE fruit, especially tropical fruits, and Hawaii is certainly not lacking in those.
yes the local fruit was the way to go but really hard on the plumbing. I found sleeping was the best alternative to eating. $8 dollar beers at the poolside cabana was like liquid Bitcoin, total shiite.
mabye if you had some bitcoins that ran up 10-20x you wouldn't be crying like a bitch with your worthless fait being the real shit in your system
> How in the Hell is Minnesota "worst at" ... .
This whole map is a matter of degrees. Mississippi is supposedly the land of the obese, but I can tell you where I live, we're running a close second. And it's because the US is now poor and homogenized. The poor folks eat poor food - and swell up like ticks. It's prolly close to the same everywhere outside of the NE 95 corridor. But, even there ....
So anyhow ... it's just a lull before the storm and a slow news night. This is just clicks for ZH whilst we wait.
@Race car driver. 95 runs right through Philly and that city is consistently the fattest city in US.
ak2 , you're right. My guess is that they probably chose tornados because "Somali cab drivers in Minneapolis who turn into jihadis" wasn't PC.
The random 'Pleated Jeans' there under Florida. No one should be exposed to pleated jeans.. Thats a fashion crime of the highest order.
I guess this label is to express counterculture

The data for this must have been taken from 2010. In that year, Minnesota indeed did have the most tornadoes of any state.
Louisiana, the Gonorrhea state lolololo.
Hell, I'm packing my bags for LA right now. Apparently, it's a free-for-all in 'Coon-Ass' Land!
Whoever came up with the idea that California's biggest problem or detriment was air-pollution had their head firmly implanted up their rectum. Dear Lord, please let it be that that should be Californians biggest obstacle. More than likely though here are some of the biggest downfalls of the Golden State:
1.) Land of the Illegal Alien Invasion
2.) Home of the fussy-headed, tree-hugging, tofu sucking, fem-Nazi, banana slug-licking, transgendered panhandlers.
3.) Paved, eight-laned parking lots with off-ramps commonly known here as "freeways".
4.) Home state of the wicked Witches of the West, Nancy "We've got to read it to find out what's in it" Pelosi, Barbara "don't call me ma'am!" Boxer and Diane "CCW for elites only" Feinstein, (though Maxine Waters deserves notable if imbecilic mention).
5.) California Governor "Unit Moonbeam" Brown.
6.) Fukushimaly speaking, (yes, I coined that), due to the "particulate deposition" currently occurring all along here abouts, we now really are the "golden state". Hell, we even glow in the dark!
I could go on, but you get the picture. Air pollution? Hah! It should be so good!
Plus,
Most illigal immigrant baby popping
Most illigal immigrants in jail
Most illigal immigrant no-insurance car crashes
Most illigal immigrant sucker's on the hind teet of government
Most illigal immigrant gang violence
Most illegal immigrant clogged schools
MOST Democrats in power that control everything
Yeah...but they give ya a helluva send off when your pecker quits burning!

Just sayin'.

I didn't ask.
PS: I hope that was not some kind of clumsy invitation to a tryst.
NYC has declared "Glory" be renamed "DeBlasio."
Come to your own conclusion.
And who is the hole that goes with that glory?
I'll second that.
With Yen Cross Virginia, Maryland and D.C. are the "Bermuda Triangle" of death to the rest of the Nation.
Eric Cantor has to be one of the most dangerous reps in the House we have and it's not a mistake that this puke from the 7th Congressional District in the State became majority leader. They have big plans for him and he'll do anything the Leadership in D.C. and NYC tell him that "he needs to do". Pivotal guy on the NDAA legislation that got in the Governor's face and arm twisted too many delegates in the State House to water down the NDAA bill when it was new back in 2011 and the SOB pretty much succeeded.
Along with Frank Wolf and James "Moron" this group is beyond toxic, and you only need to see their voting records to prove that point when it comes to voting for 'moar war' and the systematic destruction of our personal liberties with the Patriot Act(s) and NDAA legislation.
Very dangerous trifecta, and I didn't even get to the Senators yet?...
member of what tribe?
Hint: It's Cantor with a "C" not a "K"!
More not cow Russia girls
shto?
Boris, potatoes here make great Vodka for you.
http://www.ehow.com/how_4900350_make-potato-vodka.html
Idaho is #1 in the nation, with the 'weakest government influence' thingie, it seems. I am blessed and encouraged to actually call this state my home!
New Mexico is a close second, being best at being 'anti-social' (i guess maybe they don't want to be bothered by the government, or something).
Same. I LOVE Idaho.
:)
I would figure Boris would move to Montana, marry a round American woman and raise rabbits. She will cook them for you, and you can have a pick-up truck...maybe a "recreational vehicle".
Hopefully is not with internet living in the Montana.
Red October? Fourth War? I really can't remember.
Red October. The guy later played the dinosaurologist in Jurassic Psrk.
Thanks.
@Boris.......somebody that knows how to make good vodka maybe?
If anyone is considering moving to Washington, please, for the sake of your pet's, I beg you to reconsider!
For the sake of my pet's what?
I disagree with almost everything you say, Akak, but I sure do enjoy reading your stuff. I guess even conservatives can sometimes catch bad punctuation. Tip of hat, fellow wordsmith across the aisle.
Thanks Spumoni. That is very decent of you.
Although I should point out that I am not a 'conservative'.
the honorable randy weaver effect?
Isn't Ruby Ridge in Idaho?
I call bullshit on this one.
Ruby Ridge is sound like nice place, no?
Ruby Ridge might be the safest place to live in the US. Any standoff nowadays might draw a shitstorm towards it merely from the memories it would drudge up just from the name.
I dunno. Any 'target' there or elsewhere may now just be obliterated with a drone delivered Hellfire, and blamed on a 'gas explosion.' I'd better STFU now, or run the risk of suicide by karate-chopping myself in the back of the neck.
For the the record: Obama is THE BEST ruler ever! I LOVE the NSA!
Ruby Ridge was bad, but the Federales think long and hard now about messing in Idaho. Remember, Ruby Ridge was a stand. People aren't standing for much these days.
That's because most people are to lazy to actually read more about Ruby Ridge than their PC/AIPAC approved newscasts. The bastards shot an unarmed woman at RR, then killed men women and children at Waco because they had different beliefs? WTF? This is America?
yep You got it. This IS America. We have always killed anyone who disagreed with us. Don't you know anyting about empire politica or history? Has it ever occurred to you that the basis for our system of government has roots in France, Spain and England (not to mention Egypt), who specialized in killing for centuries? White people largely suck, dude. Just like black, yellow and green people. The only people who didn't generally suck are red, and look what happened to them. If I left anyone out, it wasn't on purpose. I'm not prejudiced-I hate everybody!/sarc
how does the saying go?
if people don't stand for SOMETHING, then they'll stand for ANYTHING!

The other night I had the lonely bug so I went to this bar. I saw this beautiful girl there. I'm thinking, "She's alone, I'm alone. Why not annoy the shit out of her?" SO I walk over, I'm walking, I'm wearing clogs. And I notice she has a black eye, she has a shiner. I'm thinking, "Great. She doesn't listen." So two McNuggets, three beers, and 50 dollars later we're back at my house doing it doggy style. Not that I planned on it, that's just how she passed out. Thank you slow gas leak.
Dave Attell
You may have left home with the lonely bug, but I bet you returned with a few others.
Hey, that's my bread and butter!
"But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes"? Of all people, Ben Franklin should have included STDs in his list.
Miffed;-)
THANK YOU! I always say that about Ben Franklin, and people look at me like I'm crazy. Ben was a infamous whore-monger. The danger of STD's is why I only jerk off anymore, to posts written by MDB....
"It was legitimate..."
Does Connecticut's breast cancer rate mean they have the highest concentration of big titties?
I live next door in Massachusetts and I've driven through several times (not very well according to the map) and my personal survey sample indicates that no, they're not.
From research tight brassiere wore 24/7 more likely than big tittes by themselves
What those girls REALLY need is a good breast massage!
TITLE: Breast Massage Reduces Breast Cancer Risk
http://www.free-beauty-tips.com/breastmassage.html
You really can't make this shit up...
I wonder if an analogous oral massage might help reduce the incidence of penile cancer?
Clearly this calls for volunteers.
If Barney Fwank is involved, count me out.

I was afraid you were going to point out the obvious ;-)

"This procedure should be done at least twice a week. It can be done on bare skin, but you may find that using some vegetable oil may be more comfortable (do not use mineral-based or scented oil"
Twice a week sounds far to infrequent. I suggest daily or even hourly. Oil mandatory.
Dear God I hope Mr Miffed doesn't read this thread. Fertile male minds need no encouragement. And I really thought there was a medical condition termed Blue Balls. Blond and gullible doesn't help.
Miffed;-)
I had a wicked case of blue balls one time, and it is a medical condition. Happened right after my hernia surgery, blue for two weeks from blood leakage and the stress of pulling all the muscles into the right place again. Sadly, there is no fun cure.
Actually, during one Code Blue, I did see a man get massive blue balls during arterial rupture. Big as cantaloupes in a matter of seconds. Poor man died and I will never forget that image.
Miffed;-)
I got excited too until I realized this refers to the legislators' BAC levels
If you seperated Chicago from "Illinois" I bet robbery (nearly) drops to zero.
Most Illinoisans would like to be seperated from Chicago and therefore, Springfield.
Chicago proper doesn't produce much of anything other than political scum, advertising scum committed to convincing people to buy SHIT, FSA and a handful of good bands / restaurants.
I passed through Bensenville a couple of weeks ago.
Chicago / O'hare destroyed a good portion of that town via eminent domain to increase O-Hare's sprawl and feed the union troughs.

WTF? Idaho #1 in weakest govt influence? Sounds like freaking heaven. Sadly they did not fight to opt out of ObamaCare.
You been there Sam?
Idaho was mostly settled by what are called 'Jack Mormons', old son. They are the ones that broke away from the 'church' when it decided that having multiple wives was a 'no no'.
There is a pair of small towns in northern Gem County named Sweet and Ola. There are two sayings about these little burgs:
"Sweet and Ola: Where men are men, and sheep are scared."
"Sweet and Ola: Incest is best. Put your sister to the test!" There is a restaurant called 'The Triangle', where highway 16 cuts off to Sweet...
The 'Good old boys network' runs most of the city and county governments in a substantial amount of the state (especially Eastern Idaho), but they have friends in the community, you know, and they don't want to 'rock the boat' so much (they have a sweetheart deal in politics that exudes the heart of corruption, mostly, across the southern part of the state). In the 'northern panhandle', however, the people who settled there were trying to escape even THIS 'so-called slice of heaven', and that is where places like Ruby Ridge are located. I had to move my Grandma in with my Aunt back in '98, and she lived in Olde Town (about 30 miles north of Coeur d'Alene). Up there, you drive the roads, and there are signs stating that trespassers will be shot on sight (and lots of fences). THEY MEAN IT, by the way.
Yeah, I 'been there'. Hell, I'm still here!
The Ruby Ridge deal: Confiscate some one's property for "un paid taxes" totaling 8k (alledgedly) then sell it for 85k. The "least intrusive G" then keeps the rest the other 78k. Idawho.
So the eastern part of Idaho is the Mormon part? Which parts are Mormon aka to avoid. I do not want any group running the govt for the group's benefit.
No disrespect intended Freddie, but if you don't want "any group running the govt for the group's benefit" then you need to migrate off this planet :-)
WTF do we even need gov'ts for? They're just part of the parasite class.
busting the Idaho happy bubble... been here fourteen years, transplant from La LA Land.
I remember CA was a conservative state once upon a time, but here...
nothing but a collection of smarmy RINOs running the table for their own edification and benefit.
Pathetic statists with (R) armbands. Just laughable.

Not really. The Rupublican majority that run this state do everything they can to prevent our citizens from being able to earn a livable wage. Only those that have money they have made off the backs of their employees have it easy in this state. It's an elite run cabal that only cares what they can suck out of its citizens and then take their loot and buy a nice spread where they can enjoy the beauty of the state and keep the riff raff at a distance.
The Feds control all the forests and water bodies to the point it's almost impossible to enjoy them due to fees and time restrictions. I do, however, support their efforts to prevent the invasion of the forests by motorized vehicles and preservation of our significant historical heritage sites. Our native Indian population has been crowded onto reservations and most of their original lifestyle has been eliminated.
It's only because this state has some VERY ROUGH mountain ranges in it that has prevented the state and Federal governments from paving it over or using it as a radioactive dump like Nevada. We have an Atomic City in the southern desert after all.

I'm not buyin' it regarding NY. Daily commute? THAT"S IT?
NY is a fucking basket case. ON the weight of NYC alone those per capita based stats LIKE CRIME should put them over the top somewhere. New York State doesn't have as much a cocain problem as ... Colorado? WTF?
No ones noticed yet that Maine is "the dumbest". Not so fast. By what metric?. ALex, I'll take Ny State (the fucking retards who elect people like elliot Spitzer, Hitlery Clinton, and Schmuckie Schumer) for the WIN!
But also notice Texas (artless' home state by naturalization) has the fewest high scholl grads (or lowest grad rate,who knows?) but but but...are NOT the dumbest. Hmmmmm. What does that say about them public sckrools elsewhere? Or at least in Maine?
I daho is the clear winner. I'd like to see the top 5 of that prize though. Any guesses?
Beastiality in Washington state surpassed beastiality in Washington, D.C.??!?!?!? Whoddathunkit!
It's still legal in DC to 'screw the pooch', beastiality is only an issue in states where PETA has lobbied it to be a crime.
Hell nothing is a crime in DC.
DC is a city of criminals.
Some lobbyist paid to have it removed from #1. Besides, it ain't a state.
What is that in the Porn state?
A cum reservoir or something?
Gotta be, no other state has one.
The divorce rate in UT is also surprising. Too many young Mormons desperate to get laid/pressured to marry, so they marry their H.S. sweethearts, and lo and behold... Statistically that doesn't result in a long-term marriage.
You can lead a Mormon to the altar, but you can't make him think.
(EDIT: Downarrowed by two magical underwear wearers and counting, lol!)

Filing in Fed Court by our "Justice Department". Note the word "mere"...among others. This is the thing our Central GoverMANT is worst at:
"Even if the mere collection of information about Plaintiffs’ (you and me) communications constitutes a Fourth Amendment search...conclusively resolving the reasonableness of that search ultimately could risk or require disclosure of exceptionally sensitive and classified intelligence information regarding the nature and scope of the international terrorist threat to the United States, and the role that the NSA’s intelligence-gathering activities have played in meeting that threat," the government motion states.(emphasis added)
Whos the frikin terrorists here? What the Wha?
you forgot Washington D.C...or is that the caption contest?
I thought that was 'AIDS'? Assholes Indefinitely Deriving (self)Subsidies....If it was 'Abortion', well, that speaks for itself. Can we get rid of it now?

Just wondering - with respect to Air Pollution in California, does it matter if a significant part of it comes from China and the India dust cloud? Of course, local cars and manufacturing and agriculture contribute too.
I'm thinking Monday thru Friday in Idaho and weekends in Washington. Who's with me?!?!?!?
Colordao = #1 in cocaine? Oh great then let's legalize pot. How about meth next?
I don't know what they are talking about. I've searched everywhere and haven't found ANY cocaine.
That is because they USE ALL OF IT.
Drug Addicts NEVER HAVE DRUGS. They use up everything as quick as they can get it.
There is always more but never enough...
I just had an epiphany. Wookies make great wives, and leeches make great leaders...

Say, and BTW, what's with Washington State and bestiality?
One would think that an Arkansas kind of trait.
And Kenya.
What's Kenya, our 53rd state notable for?
It's not Puerto Rico.
RE: Washington State's being "Worst" at Bestiality ... when we say they're the "worst" at it, what are we really saying? That they don't know how to do it correctly?
And somewhere in there is a Starbucks joke.
If PETA hadn't lobbied the new law, making it a felony to 'screw the pooch', this wouldn't even be public knowledge, now the prisons are filling up with Pooch-Fuckers and they're talking about a '3 pooch and your out law'.
Blame the liberals (PETA) for good men gong to jail.
Dust bowl days brought a lot of Arkies to Washington state - and their cousins.
A few years ago in Tacoma, WASH, an off-duty cops wife caught her husband fucking his pitbull, she caught it on her phone-cam, and she put it on youtube, and sent it to the cop's.
The state of washington had just passed a bill in the state making it a felony to have sex with an animal. This case was the first time a felony had been tested, the guy went to jail.
The wife said he had been fucking the pitbull everyday for years and that he was in love with the pitbull. She also made it clear that he hadn't fucked her for years, She was jealous of the pitbull and that is why she sent the 'video' to the cop's.
In case you folks don't know washington-state, Tacoma is the white-trash section of the state.
What do you think the wife looked like?
Pro'lly a fat, ugly, pug-faced woman...
Heck, a pit bull beats a whining pug any day!
Yeah, Tacoma sucks, I agree.
Yep, HAIR-LIPS in the SOUTH join the 'service' and are sent to the MIL-BASES near TACOMA, where they get a pitbull, and have their girl shipped from ark/ok/... to Tacoma, where she has a litter, and after a few years the MIL-MAN decides that only his PITBULL loves him for real.
Then along comes phone-cameras with video enable, and its hard to say a man don't love his dog, when he's ramming it on a 20 minute video, 'tough-guys' making love to PITBULLS is such a common now that pornhub.com, and redtube.com, have had to add ilovepitbull.com to their list of #1 sites.
***
Toss in the weather, and the METH, and the fact that's its dark and raining 99 days out of a 100, and you get dog-love, ... that only a RAMBO could love.
You think they would buy a jar of peanut butter, and make it a Tacoma three-way. Cheepskates.
Rumor has it the wife was from North Dakota.
