Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim

You have 27 EU members + Mons Trichet of the ECB + Mme Lagarde of the IMF, & you have 29 people meet (verb) to work (verb) on the project.

EuroCrats are getting involved. Remember Laurel & Hardy? What did you do with the money? "I gave it to him to give to her."

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

WSJ: ECB took series of half measures that have pleased no one. That is exactly how it works. Why is everyone surprised?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

After two years of escalating crisis, ECB officials still trying to find their footing. This is either very sad, or very ....well, sad.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Poor Mons. Trichet. Desole. Did you see his photograph in the WSJ: from the Frankfurt news conference on Thursday?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Hey EuroCrats! Do you want to solve the EuroCrisis? Do what we do here in America. Form a Committee.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

ECB Urges National Governments to take bigger role. As opposed to what? Local Governments? THE SOLUTION MUST BE COMPREHENSIVE.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

EuroCrats stepping in after a brief absence in response to Greek Debt Crisis that began TWO YEARS AGO! Crisis now Threatens Spain & Italy.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

It is one thing for EuroCrats not to listen to what others are saying, but when they don't listen to what they themselves are saying.....

EuroBankers resume Crisis Management Role. Why? Did the Crisis suddenly re-appear after a long absence?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

EuroBankers are still at it. :-( Shift urging to governments. Yeah, that will solve the problem.

NASA: Evidence of water flowing on Mars. Okay, it's flowing. Now, why are they calling it water. No one is saying.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Gov. Renews Jobs Agenda. Gov. has a plan. Two Big Mistakes. One word each. 1. Agenda. 2. Plan. Nouns don't solve problems.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Scientists figure out how 2make sterile mice fertile. There's much we lay people don't know. Like I never knew mice had a fertility problem.

Government is the Store. The People are not the customers. The People are the Owners. Maybe our Congressmen should start wearing paper hats?

Lawmakers Fund FAA in Deal. Now do you understand how public outrage can get those elected employees to do their jobs?

WSJ: Lagarde Probe. WILL YOU PLEASE STOP JUNKING THINGS UP AND WORK ON THE EUROCRISIS. Let the cheese stink, not the politics!

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Solution to the Global Investment Crisis. Quick, Everybody Go Short. Take your profits. Then -- oh, wait. No. That won't work either.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Madison Avenues New Marketing Strategy. Mad Men are telling clients to announce they have not decided whether to run for President or not.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

Why are so may people running for President? Because being a Candidate is the only job so many people can get without any job qualifications

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

WSJ: Mellon Bank to Charge Customers to keep Money in the Bank. Didn't banks used to pay depositors for that? It used to be called interest.

Slimfairview Slim Fairview

WSJ: Stocks nose-dive amid global fears. Read: "How to Profit from a Global Depression." (At least one person will make some money from it.)
