julianroberston.jpgJulian Roberston: It’s almost Armageddon if the Japanese and Chinese don’t buy our debt. I don’t know where we could get the money. I think we’ve let ourselves get in a terrible situation and I think we ought to try and get out of it.
Erin Burnett: Ok, Mr. Roberston, but let’s say we don’t get out of it and it actually is Armageddon. What’s it gonna be like around here?
JR: 200 degrees in the sunlight, minus 200 in the shade, canyons of razor-sharp rock, unpredictable gravitational conditions, unexpected eruptions, things like that.
EB: Okay, so the scariest environment imaginable. Thanks. That’s all you gotta say, scariest environment imaginable.

    There is no need for concern. Obama, Timmy, and the rest of the gang are committed to attaining a balanced budget. Obama said so himself. Fear not!

    Walking hand-in-hand with Dennis Kneale while an abandoned, naked, Erin Burnett looks on bewildered.

    I think ol’ JR has lost it. And not just because he put that shirt with that tie…

    All he has to say was “Erin – it will be as bad as one of Greg Michaels posts”
    But I guess he didn’t want her to run off the set screaming.

    Greg showed us using VAR that the risk of the Chinese not buying our debt is an inverse function of GDP when accounting for trade inflows.

    Good time to institute a bottomless money pit in the name of universal health insurance though, right Julian?

    I think he’s scared because he just soiled his adult-size Depends. At that age, one cannot trust a fart.

    Dude called the recession though. You young, over-masturbating fart sniffers didn’t. Call him, “Sire’ shit heads.

    What’s he been up to since Everyone Loves Raymond ended?

  29. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 3:42 PM

    @28/AB mostly he’s been making massive bets on inflation, once in a while he pokes his head out to talk his book. Funny you should ask.

    Nice catch! Spitting image.

    Julia Roberts was GREAT in Pretty Woman. I would have dragged my testicles through 10 miles of broken Schlitz bottles just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie.
    When did she/he go all tranny and wrinkly?

  35. Posted by Barkley | September 24, 2009 at 4:10 PM

    @34
    JR must have wanted some special time with Bess. Given the Madoff piece, she must like older men.

  36. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 4:13 PM

    @35 huh?

  37. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 4:44 PM

    @35 – fart thru a walkie-talkie? Where the eff did that come from?

  38. Posted by Jefferies Quant | September 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM

    @34 nice.

  39. Posted by Barkley | September 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM

    @36
    If you read the Madoff piece, Bess went soft on him. Why would someone give the biggest swindler of all time an opportunity to spin his image? It must be because Bess has a soft spot for Madoff… I won’t speculate where the soft spot is though. JR was probably working the same angle.

  40. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 4:59 PM

    @26 — I took my pants off when I read something about Julia Roberts getting excited.

  41. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM

    @39 You write…”Bess went soft on him”
    So Bess is a Gay man with recital dysfunction?

    @41, “Recital Dysfunction”?
    Are you saying that s/he plays the upright organ, too?

  47. Posted by guest | September 24, 2009 at 5:44 PM

    @46 Are you implying that Bess is a South African track star? A shim as it were? I agree, very troubling.

    It’s going to be even worse in China when their $800 billion in treasuries tanks. China’s GDP/capita is a tenth of the US, and their armageddon of losing their largest trade partner will make apocalypse look like a walk in the park.
