Polly wants to know:
"When you are writing such obvious sarcasm as the above post, could you please mark it as such so other readers won't think you have lost your mind".
Polly if you know it's obvious sarcasm then why wouldn't the rest of us know it's obvious sarcasm? Isn't the fact that the obvious to one is obvious to all? You're like the singer who sings his or her song and then afterwards explains the lyrics. Duh! If it's sarcasm I'm sure we all recognize it as such and if the postee is out of their mind, welcome to the club. Kind of like the sarcasm of the drive by media that always responds to the latest polls. "The market is down today because yada yada yada". Or.... there were several soldiers killed today in Iraq according to undisclosed reliable sources. But they are Reliable sources, so you better believe it! Glass of milk a few cookies turn off the tube and hop in bed unless Letterman doesn't Schmooze you first with his stale top 10 list. The next day we are all back at it again trying to find cooperative consumers ready to do bidness as usual. Security Fraud comes in several different shades of reality. Enron for example was held together by the integrity of Arthur Anderson. We put our trust in the obvious bean counter because nobody had the brass ones necessary to question INTEGRITY! It's like trying to find a good political figure to trust in, unfortunately the choices are few and far between. Mean while everybody is trying to make a buck while our financial markets are reeling in chaos with all kinds of short selling going on. Now BAC has bought Countrywide, and I think Chase just bought Bears Stearn, so now the Banking Industry becomes a Debt collector for all the fraudulent securities firms? I wonder if the Government can provide us with a stimulus package to cover the misery of all this fall out? I wonder if that $600 bucks will become nothing more than a trade off of my 2007 taxes?
I wonder what tomorrow will bring, seems like today is bad enough to deal with, dry closings, upset loss mitigators, upset consumers, all puzzled with sarcasm and knee jerk reactions? But God forbid the media would report it soon enough. Besides the media as we know it is bought and paid for. People feel more comfortable with Internet appraisals rather than a Realtor! Unfortunately we've all grown up to believe that absolutes don't exist. Now our children believe in those same non existing absolutes. But I can tell you this we are absolutely in for a rocky road to Socialism if somebody doesn't get a handle on our misery! I figure with the compounding quantity of foreclosures taking place, that the market by summer will look much different that a correction, but more like a miserable mess with displaced homeowners all over the country. So I suggest shoes and card board appliance boxes as the next best investment. There are going to be so many displaced home owners by this summer that Card Board stock, shoes and bicycles will be the next best investment. Because the last I heard the prognosticators who prognosticated the Real Estate Bubble are prognosticating $4 a gallon gas. Who would have every believed a hundred dollar a barrel price for crud. The oil shortage of the 70s caused riots and gas lines because the pump price went from 49 cents a gallon to 89 cents a gallon and the ration was 10 gallon a stop, the lines were long and the people were miserable. But today we pay almost 4 bucks a gallon and if we don't a debit card we go inside and pay hombre to takes our money. Who wants to go and pay before you pump? We may recognize somebody or worse yet we may be recognized as paying cash. Thank God for Debit Cards, now if I can only find away to make a deposit in the night depository.
