I've also been on jobs where goats were slaughtered on the rig floor.
That had mixed results, some dusters and some hits.

Perhaps the Philipinas and Golden Sachs are onto something...

Was chatting with a Philipina lady I know last week who told me that she was changing churches. When I inquired about the reason for the move she explained that more of her prayers were answered when she volunteered at one church over the other. I suggested to her that there was only one god and it shouldn't matter where you worship to which she agreed. However, she then went on to explain the correlation between prayers answered and collection plate duties at the new church vrs the meagre prayer results when she does reception duties at the other!

It's as if Lloyd Blankfein wasn't satisfied just looting the US treasury. That wasn't enough. There had to be some taunting, rubbing our faces in it.

Sort of like when Saddam Hussein's henchmen would shoot somebody and then make the victim's family pay for the bullet.

Everyone is buying guns these days.

Maybe they're worried Obama will enforce gun control legislation?

I guess its nerve wracking hosting all those poolside parties, whoops, I mean networking, whilst the peons are reduced to gazing through the fence.

[dinopello]

For pete's sake, I hope they are also signing up for firearm safety courses and practicing at the range. Nothing worse than a freaked-out incompetent banker wielding a semi-auto (without proper training).

Reverse Racism and the Big Obama Con Job
http://whiskeyandgunpowder.com/reverse-racism-and-the-big-obama-con-job/

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')id you see the announcement of a week ago that Goldman Sachs is giving a half billion dollars to small businesses. Or are they? Why are they suddenly concerned with small business? They’ve certainly never cared about small business before. In the history of Goldman Sachs, what have they ever given to small business? The answer of course is nothing. Why the sudden interest? Could it be because Goldman Sachs has found out that it pays to play ball with President Obama? Could it be because if you do favors for Obama and his friends, you wind up with big bailouts, giant stimulus funds, government contracts…or perhaps avoid prosecution for any alleged crimes or fraud committed in the sub-prime mortgage scandal?

In any case, Goldman Sachs’ announcement was certainly less than honest in its wording. If you read the headline you’d think that Goldman is a hero to America’s small businesses. But the reality (beneath the headline) is that Goldman Sachs is only concerned with one tiny segment of small business — MINORITY-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES. More specifically — minority businesses located in minority neighborhoods. Even more specifically, Goldman’s loans to minority businesses located in minority neighborhoods will only be disbursed through “community organizations.” Organizations that I’m willing to bet are run by contributors to Obama’s campaigns. Just a guess on my part. Anyone wanna bet?

Most likely Alex. But it's not reverse racism it's just racism. Racist pork barrelling to be precise.
Do Americans use that term?

Check out this Goldman piece talking about why peak oil is not a concern. First, they make the typical mistake of confusing reserves with production, stating that reserves still represent 40 years of demand (when we all know that reserves could go to infinity but if production rates drop even 10% there will be problems). Then, their table of oil discoveries in the past 10 years, which supposedly demonstrates how much oil we are still finding, only represents less than 2 years worth of global consumption.

Some interesting stuff about gold and other things in that article as well.

[Revi]

I don't think goldman cares about peak oil, but the inflation/deflation argument is a good one.

I think we'll see inflation in the stuff we have to buy every day, while real estate will continue to fall in value.

This is the company that sold mortgage backed securities to its customers and then shorted them. This is also the company that drove up the price of oil with speculation, saying at $100 it would go to %10, then at $150 saying it would go to $250.

If you believe anything this paper says, I would like to have the opportunity to steal your money too.

I'm not saying it's a head fake. You just can't trust them to tell the truth.
