What friends..

.
....we have in our all knowing, all powerful, so intelligent elected leaders and the puppet masters who pull their strings.

Gold opened on the New York Globex exchange by shooting straight up, to start off the new week with continuing new highs after several weeks of new highs for the shiny stuff.

Meanwhile the leader of the free world Hussein the Humble kowtows before the symbolic head of Japan, Emperor Akihito.

Does anyone else suspect that the decline in the value of the US Greenback might be related to the decline in respect that nations around the world have for The Red, White and Blue?

I'm actually glad that the asshole from Chicago keeps licking the boots of other heads of State. It shows how little respect he has for the office he holds.

Meanwhile his actions Vis-à-vis our most reliable and staunchest ally Great_Britain bespoke a condescending rub-ur-face in the mud fuck you attitude.

A wise man once told me that a man could be lucky to count 5 people as his best friends. (Defined by him as someone you could call at 1:30 in the morning to come bail you out of jail and the only question asked would be, "which jail?".) That count would probably come nearer to being 1 or maybe 2 people for most of us. So we would be wise to cultivate, nurture and be willing to do the same for them. You never know now-a-days when you might need to make that one call.

Methinks that countries (or their leaders) would do well to think about just who we consider friends.

Anyhoo PBHO might could do with a little edumacating on the subject of how the leader of this nation should act when let out in public. Better still, maybe we should take steps to lock him into kennel up there at Our house.
