The meme of Bernanke’s head atop Spanky’s body and him throwing money out of the window is hilarious. One of the truly classic Our Gang moments from “Wild Man from Borneo”. A must watch.

Spot as usual Rudy! Confirmation bias for all of us?

And, of course, reading this on the day of massive FED intervention in the markets and 10 yr makes it so much more relevant!

I live in a high gun ownership state. In a meeting with partners and staff a few years ago, someone mentioned something about concealed carry, and how many people actually carry. Someone asked me what I thought, and I replied “if you’ve seen me in anything other than my jammies, I’ve had a gun.” Side glances ensued. “You asked.”

I had an aunt once, visiting from Canada. Out of the blue, she turns to me and whispers, "Can I ask you a question?" I say, "Sure." She says, "Do you own a gun?" I say, "Yes." She looks at me as if I just told her I have 17 bodies in my crawlspace.

Always enjoy stories about my compatriots visiting the US. Undoubtedly your aunt was from Toronto or another urban centre in Canada … gun ownership is much higher than you’d believe in Western Canada!

Despite Castreau trying to limit ownership (post Truckers Rebellion!).

Nailed it. Toronto. No doubt about Western Canada. In California, many guns despite ridiculous gun laws.
