When Did “Dickhead” Become Part Of Federal Reserve Jargon?
Update:
Disappointed in my use of that language--term clearly better applied to myself! Wish to apologize to @zerohedge (views and opinions my own).
— David Andolfatto (@dandolfa) November 15, 2014
When in the course of human events, a simple tweet observing the farce that America's centrally-planned economy and markets have become as a result of the relentless intervention of a few clueless economic hacks...
BULLARD: FED TO RAISE RATES IN 2015, TIMING DETERMINED BY DATA. Determined by DJIA he means
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) November 14, 2014
... Incites a response such as this by a taxpayer-funded peer of the abovementioned clueless economic hack, a peer who incidentally has never stepped a foot outside of academia in his entire "professional" career:
@zerohedge Ha ha, you are such a dickhead ... it's wonderful!
— David Andolfatto (@dandolfa) November 14, 2014
... a person who is a "Vice President" at the St. Louis Fed, the same Bank whose president is singlehandedly responsible for the last 10% upswing in these here rigged "markets"...

... It becomes all too clear why the centrally-planned states of America are so very fucked up.
And while we appreciate the understanding that Fed "professionals" spend their working "research" hours tweeting instead of actually, you know, "researching" one can't help but wonder what follows after ad hominem?
Finally, while we don't know if "dickhead" is a generally-accepted term of the central-planner's jargon, we do know that the last time we were graced with its "dickweed" derivative, the outcome was delightfully ironic for (almost) everyone.

Okay, I knew there was something more.
This is just the beginning Bitchez.
Tyler, Seek his characterization of DOGGONE's aim (see bio).
When did dickhead become part of Federal Reserve jargon? About the time someone looked around and went "what a lot of dickheads". I think Reagan was president.
For the love of God... can we pretty please institute some sort of diversity program at Fed banks so that not every cretin working there is an academic?
thanks to excursionsit. rarely do i find in life that the exact inverse is equally the same thing.
'so that not every academic working there is a cretin'.
sits well with stocks also - good news is bad and bad news is good. is there any correspondance?
Dude is already standing in front of a brick wall in his photo. Ironic.
That ain't no irony, Hoss. That there is what them ivory tower types call foreshadowin'
Irony would be if he was dressed like Liesman with a vein-blue tie, flesh-pink shirt and bald head calling Tyler a dickhead.

Canada is the hyphen in anglo-american banksterism.
And what kind of fucked up situation would we be in without those research papers? Whew, it's scary to even think about it.
He does have a (P)retty (h)uge (D)ick. So he's kind of an authority on dickheads.

I really take exception to the un-authorized use of the term "Dickweed" . . . I guess I'll have to change my handle to "Harry Glans".
Internet must have been down at the FED today so they couldn't surf porn all day. I'm sure this a-hole is best buds with Gruber.
Its like getting your name in the phone book, YOU'RE REALLY SOMEBODY!!!!!
Congrats, and join the club Tyler!
Tyler owns the club, is the club.
Dickhead is a complemint. To the clubowner. Remember, in this Bizzaro universe, Up is Down. And Little Boy Blue is a big girl now....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAekdzFOHI8
I've said this before, but little shit fucks like this would not last three seconds outside a centrally planned government controlled economy. He produces zero benefit to an overall society.

I think you're taking it wrong, David Andolfatto probably spewed whatever he was drinking out of his nose laughing his ass off because you are so correct. His insult wasn't really an insult at all, it was the opposite, he was praising you and congratulationg you for calling out Mr Bullard.
Ya, I'm sure, Dave.
"David Andolfatto" or "David and ol' Fatto"? In Roma, they smoke-a the joint much, what?
"David Andolfatto" or "David and ol' Fatto"? In Roma, they smoke-a the joint much, what?
For Mr. Andolfatto the saying must be going like this:
a hotdog?
So I should not answer "dickhead" should I?
I suppose different people would answer differently, depending on what they can/want to use their mouth for.
"its wonderful!" for who?
Fatto is a asshole and so is everyone else over at that snakepit called the fed.
Zero Hedge should be RE-Named... I can think of some fantastic names.
The name I find most fitting is " Ego Hedge". There's a cacophony of intelligence on Z/H.
How we apply and use those skills, is entirely up to us.
I would agree with you Yen on your sentiment but not so much on a re-naming. It is still is fight club and you and I have had a round with you that was pretty epic some years back. Now if I could only remember what we were arguing about that night.LOL
Thank You. I think you're entirely capable of making your own decisions.
They call you Bond/
You earned my respect Yen because at least you have some balls.
Could be meant as a compliment you don't want to get like in dickheads among dickheads, primus inter pares.
Well, now. Appears the Tylers not only got the Fed's attention but also got under its skin...and the blogosphere's lovin' it.
Kudos, Tylers!
ZeroHedge was magnificent from day (1).

Yeah, finaly entering 'The Fight Club'
Best Tweet back: Yeah, you're wonderful too cocksucker!
Now hit me back ...
Tried reading this one http://research.stlouisfed.org/wp/more/2011-038 "Incentive-Feasible Deflation"
David Andolfatto Articles Published in Peer-Reviewed Journals which speaks very poorly for him and his peers."Each period ? = 0? 1? 2? ?????is divided into two subperiods labeled day and night" - you know from here on we are talking ground breaking shit! (A sorta Deux ex Machina lightning bolt or something emerges as some sort of silent hand predetermining peoples actions in an apparently deterministic Deist or Godlike way - for the sake of the "theory". -or something)
"At night, individuals realize a shock(undoubtedly a fed administered electroshock -n17) that determines their type for the night.(this may be a secret language really referring to whether one is a "top" or "bottom" for the night's sadomasochistic rituals and role playing, but I'm not sure)
In particular, individuals have either a desire to consume, an ability to produce, or neither. In what follows, I refer to these types as consumers,producers, and nonparticipants, respectively. Types are determined randomly by an exogenous stochastic process." Somehow this requires an equation that starts with an integral sign.
Economists should not be allowed to use the word "stochastic" or write any equation than includes anything but the plus, minus, division and multiplication signs.
"Individuals are ex ante identical and their preferences are represented by ?0X??=0 ?? {??(?) + ? [?(??(?)) ? ?(??(?))]} (3) where 0 ??? 1. Note that there is no discounting across subperiods." "Ex ante" is always involved in economistic pseudo science. I'm pretty sure no ones preferences are represented by the equation giberish in his article nicely tranformed into even more incomprehensible question marks..here for ease of incomprehensibility. "Voluntary exchange means that allocations are recommended rather than imposed." While one would have to assume involuntary exchange would have to be imposed. Both being twisted little concepts with little relation to the reality of exchange which may be driven by need for example, ultimately is voluntary if painful and taxes by the way are not exchange if that's what doofuss is getting at here but clearly it is unclear that he can possibly clearly state what he is talking about - so forget I tried to help. Let us not forget that the only delivery of anything one makes at night is one in one's dreams since commonly people sleep at night. His graphic for the "incentive feasible set" is priceless (available here http://newztekmisk.blogspot.com/2014/11/economist-andolfatto-from-fed-at-work.html) which is either a dolphin or a fish in the latter case revealing an undercurrent of Christianity in Fed research until now undisclosed!Fricking etcetera.
How 'bout that....the dandolf_ass tweets....who knew??
The fact that the Federal Reserve actually acknowledged a 'lowly blog' speaks volumes about the times, as they indeed are a-changin'.
Otherwise, why would the Federal Reserve even bother? Isn't the Federal Reserve one of or even the most powerful institution on the planet?
Could it be that the Federal Reserve sees a shift in the status quo and that people in larger numbers are waking up to the sham that central banking and debt-based money are?
Could it be that blogs like ZH are at the forefront of said movement?
Could it be that Tyler's comment that provoked an ad hominem attack from the Federal Reserve perhaps suggests all's not going so well at the Federal Reserve and perhaps they are under a bit of stress?
Time will tell.
Until then, kudos to the Tylers! Keep up the pressure!

AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. ANDOLFATTO
Dear Mr. Andolfatto,
That tweet was unprofessional, rude and discourteous.
I doubt your constituents (The American People) thought it was funny.
Honestly, don't you have anything better to do than tweet juvenile expletives while at work sir?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Your conduct is unbecoming a person so highly placed within our government. It is difficult, if not impossible, to lead people when they do not respect you.
Honestly, I believe you may have compromised not just your professional integrity but your ability to function in your current position representing the Federal Reserve of The United States.
Perhaps you should consider turning in your resignation sir.
Sincerely,
One Offended ZeroHedge Reader

If the reply is genuine, then one has to wonder why an official feels compelled to issue the reply. It's clear from the reply that the pathetic attempt to belittle the content of ZH, and the use of derogatory language, that someone over there at the Fed is rankled.
Well done to ZH for eliciting a response from the Fed!

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink (or megabytes) by the barrel.

If the American public were generally aware that the “foreign minister” of one of the most murderous terrorist organizations in the world, a man whose extradition on terrorism charges is sought by at least one UN Security Council permanent member, is living openly in Washington DC, they might be indignant. If Americans knew that this is the “foreign minister” of a terrorist group specializing in killing women and children first in a hospital, then in a school, and later defenseless civilians in a theater, their indignation might grow into rage. If they knew that this envoy for terrorists is living in the comfortable Woodley Park neighborhood of Washington DC with a lifestyle most Americans could not afford, with an office, a secretary, a travel budget, and a public relations budget all paid for at the expense of the US taxpayers, with State Department checks signed by Condoleeza Rice, they might be furious. If they knew that this ambassador for terrorists had been set up in his current all expenses paid, taxpayer-funded lifestyle by a man who is the main image adviser and the main foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama, their view of the Illinois senator and his qualifications for the presidency might well undergo a radical change.

Tsunami Warning Asia after Quake

http://tersee.com/#!q=tsunami&t=text
Lets put it this way , to make it blunt.
The American Empire is coming to and end, that much is a given.
The currency is in the process of destroying itself. everyone knows this, the Federal Reserve has been engaged in a currency war with every other nation on the planet for the past 9 Years.
We have reached the point where even while they are printing and buying equities, the equities still want to deflate .
The amount of printing required to keep the markets suspended on the trapeze is going up, we are in the final stages of the titanic sinking, no amount of buckets will bail out all this water, we have already hit more than 100% Debt to GDP, this means that now for every dollar of new currency printed we will get a negative return in GDP growth.
Thats pretty much the point where you are falling off the cliff.
What does a system do when it is in free-fall?
Over-React.
Die
New System comes in.
The United States will require a Bailout from the IMF.
At which point , there is no United States, and the U.S. will in its death spiral become the "bitch" of the IMF.
And so falls the last hope of freedom from the globe.
Or nothing, nothing is wrong.
Nah - you have it wrong. The "central banks" have unlimited license to buy assets (read manipulate price action). In the past they were constrained by Fractional Gold Reserves. Each Bank is printing and lending to each other to keep asset prices in action until they decide to shake the weak hands. The shake will happen likely near an election.
OR, CBs decide to back all debts by their (remaining) gold holdings, eg. the IMF declares to buy phzsical gold at 100000 (or whatever is needed) dollars and accordingly ajusts the prices in Zen, Euro, .... Before that happens the bullion banks will have stacked enough metal (their stacking as we speak). Such actions could make up for allother losses in the various paper markets and be the starting point of a new global financial system. Either way, we have got a wild ride ahead, no matter which way will be chosen by TPTB otherwise known as "the market". I am LOOONG "tradition". Good luck to all, we will all need it.
Yeah, well, whatever Western (UWO) is known for... Economics is not it. It has a reputation as Canada's "Country Club U".
And Simon Fraser hasn't or won't be winning any Nobel Prizes either.
That guy is actually a pretty cool guy. He's into Bitcoin as well which is pretty good for a Fed researcher.
Honestly, it's a bit sad that Tyler can't take this without writing up a flame article about it. Fed workers are allowed to have their own personal lives and go on twitter too, and if they want to joke and call someone "dickhead" (which seemed to be used in a friendly way in this case) they can do it. I thought ZeroHedge was about freedom?
Anyway, Tyler spends all day on twitter and writes worse words than "dickhead", so this is a bit of a double standard.
Haters gonna hate
whats his next literary enlightenment going to be, solyndra, the wal-mart of solar markets.
my grandma told me when people started name calling, they've lost the arguement, and have nothing new to add.
i don't know what his problem is, he can bring up at any open meeting any mis leading info. by zh..
i don't think he's a porn watcher, (at work), he must spend 6-8 hrs. on his tax-payer job honing his resume, (publishing work), for future tbtf oppurtuities.
This man knows Dickheads. Although it doesn't state it in his CV, I'm sure his PHD research and thesis was on the Economic Life Cycles of Dickheads and Related Species. He probably keeps a database of Dickhead statistics and their contribution to the various aspects of the US economy. Don't challenge the man!
Blast from the past comments, look at all the anonymous posters in the reference links. I know Knucks was around then, the good 'old days.
A positive thing to come from this is that a search for "david andolfatto" and "dickhead" now yields results.

This must mean that I am a stupid dickhead...
I bet the combination of fed-members and jargon brings up a lot more words on twitter and within comments than just 'dickhead'. On the other hand, it's pointing at their heads then.
What if he was actually paying a compliment. Surely a doubt there. I believe snarkiness from ZH is great but to others it is dickheadedness. We are all dickheads under the skin except these guys who are dickheads throughout

LMAO
C'mon, give Andolfatto at break. All he ever studied was economics.
Another good reason to END THE FED. They are useless rent-seeking parasites upon society who contribute nothing. It's perfect the central bank has now been turned into a Romper Room for sociopaths in need of attention.

Maybe the guy intended it sincerely as a compliment.
You never know, after Tim Cook's coming out, this guy is sending the Tylers a subliminal message about his own freudian fantasies.
Wonderful ! Indeed!
I think ZH owes him an apology; to an olfactive Andolfatto.
Talking of dickheads.....
The Obola joker gave his opening teleprompter speech in Brisbane where he once again directly associated Putin/Russia with the shooting down of MH-17.
Does this lying asswipe never stop? Is he incapable of speaking the truth? Has nobody told him that the evidence clearly shows MH-17's fuselage to be peppered with 30mm cannon bullet holes?
Not to be outdone, the lying empty suit David Cameron once again referred to "Russia's aggression" in Ukraine, without actually revealing exactly what it is that Russia is accused of doing.
And as one might expect, the UK's Wannabe Propaganda-In-Chief "Sky News" - is spewing out news clips referring to Putin's isolation in Brisbane.
Nothing that comes out of Brisbane can be believed. Just more lies and propaganda.
We are being governed by criminals, liars and assorted freaks and fraudsters.
