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.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
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.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
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.


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


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


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Panetta Warns Military Cuts threat to US Security. & only yesterday Ralph Nader wanted to Cut military in half because cold war was over.

Macy's Up. Good. Kohl's Struggles. Get in in Gear Kohl. I like those blue button down shirts you carry. Slim


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
GM earnings surged 89% What's Good for GM is Good for America. Some people were right the first time. A shame others need to be reminded.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
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
WSJ: Kraft to Split.  Now. I will say this once. I like Oscar Meyer Bologna. Don't junk things up, okay?


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
I have not decided whether or not 2 run 4 President. Now all I have 2 do is wait 4 enough media attention to make me look like a candidate!


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.)


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
