Entry: Keep On Predicting What The Fed Will Do-- Because Ron Would've Wanted It That Way

"I don't think she's a great addition. Even JC can't get back fast enough."
What I find most entertaining about this sort of thing is that after a quick, non-scientific survey I found that the last 23 moderately negative or outright hostile comments pointed in my direction are attributable to 4 IP addresses. 12 of the 23 comments are from exactly one of those IP addresses and 4 more comments (for a total of ~70%) are from the same address range (i.e. same site). I mean really, you could at least run around to different Starbucks or something.

See, and I'm upset at the selective availability of headlines. Why can't I have these:
'I felt like I had just been crucified'
'We're sick of burying our children'
'Paula Abdul gets confused on 'Idol''
'Amanpour: Standing where blood once flowed'
Bummer.

1. I don't pay that much attention to the figures you describe.
2. TED vacillates between hatred and thinly veiled lust for me. I cannot keep up. It's also not sudden. Either pursuit betrays an overabundance of free time considering we have never (knowingly) met in person.
3. Carney has better things to worry about than me

"EP, your #3 point gets me concerned. Is Carney OK? Was he put in jail by the Viet Cong, I mean, Vietnamese for yelling obscenities about Ho Chi-Minh in a drunken rage?"
No, all your whining about rice posts caused him to cease all contact with us (and you).

"I don't like Starbucks and I was just replying to AB's reply. I hate to burst your bubble, but some people don't care for you."
I should hope not. If I am not pissing at least the socialists off I really am pretty worthless. Your definition of "bursting a bubble" is a bit... well... off.

"@ep - maybe he meant he didnt want to pop your cherry, just a thought"
He'd have to put a rock on my finger first anyhow, and I doubt that would be in his price range.

"rock as in de beers massively pressurized carbon product? or as in crack cocaine?"
Either when it comes to his budget. Blood diamonds only for my ring finger.

"You seem to take offense to anyone's different opinion."
Only when it is not even remotely supported by fact. It's fact-less nonsense that I dislike.
"But please - tell us all how much you're worth so I and others can feel small."
Only the small would feel small in the face of such a comparison. And only the small would offer it, small-like, to show the small how small they are.
"I'm really curious as to how much does writing pay these days?"
Submit an application to DB. I'm not doing it for the money.
"Or are you a trust fund baby? Tell us all how you made your millions. Or is it billions?"
Ah, now that would be small-telling, wouldn't it?

"Typical EP - lots of smoke and mirrors, no substance. Never a straight answer. You should work for Fox News. Or become a politician. I tried folks."
Just not interested in stalkers, thanks. Nor were any of your questions (like my balance sheet) particularly relevant to anything but your curiosity.

Public Answer: A long history and skeptical inquiry (and no childhood) resulting in a broad, generalist knowledge base.
True Answer: I know lots about nothing.

Ok, people. The speculation is cute, and all in good fun, until it isn't anymore.
You are pushing the limits. Cool it. You know who you are.

"That picture was probably taken in the 70's so that particular cat is likely long dead."
Or perished in the fall from the tree right after that photo was taken.

"EP, you are trying to be funny?
Solomon didn't say the thing about Roosevelt and Nixon. That's Lou Mannheim in the movie "Wall Street."
He also said:
"Kid, you're on a roll. Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause it never does."
Nothing gets past DB readers!

Actually, I get paid by the comment count on my posts, so I'm doing a last-quarter bonus boost.

Keep EP, send Bess away..."
Listen XO communications, Class Y airfare boy, Ms. Levin has more class in her evaporated saliva than can be detected in any trace of your existence here on the planet.
Really, I suggest you cool it with the comments (you seem unable to comment on anything but Bess)* since your latent desire to possess her is beginning to show and, more importantly, I would hate to have to feed you your own bloody spleen served on the jagged, crimson-splattered edge of a heirloom-tarnished and badly dulled silver wedding cake knife (it was lost during the Hunt Brothers' episode).
* the following represent the entirety of your comments on DB
O' Bess Bess - How old did you tell him you were? In response to: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/04/they_all_also_admitted_to_bein.php
Bess is just jealous, she can't get any play... In response to: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/04/beautiful_london_the_glick_rep.php
Say what you want about EP, she does write about finance... Bess Bess "writes" snarky comments about people who work in finace. I'll take EP over Bess anyday. In response to: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/04/closer_to_end_but_not_really.php
I usually think Bess is an idiot, but she somehow figured out that the AR-15/M-16 is the same weapons package. Well I still think she is an idiot. When she learns the diff. between IRR and NPV she can start to write about us... In response to: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/04/cerberus_now_taking_investment.php
To the Joshua Tree crew - Bess is gonna be on the prowl tonight looking to get slamed over & over again... In response to: http://dealbreaker.com/2008/05/join_me_mo_rocca_as_i_dump_a_l.php

"if the collateral fails to maintain the minimum credit rating it is effectively rejected by the FED and needs to be replaced. if not, the borrower may be faced with a liquidation of the other over-collateralized positions to meet the minimum standards."
Please support these assertions.
