Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FD has responded with nothing substantive to rebut much of anything in here for a very long time. Quoting Scott Galloway, in a back-and-forth between himself and Kevin O'Leary: "I find that people who use the term derangement directed at me, do so b…
If SCOTUS and the putz declare that it's ok for him to run I'd like to see Obama come back to run against him.
Barring that, I believe that the Dem's need an in-your-face fighter who will attack and call out and the lies and misinformation being sp…
This one goes way back. My son plays drums, performing. I did not know that fact until he told me. I like Boz Scaggs doing it: "Loan Me A Dime." Blues. A long, stretched-out version.
With Duane Allman, 1969: (Still over 13 minutes.)
Power changes hands between parties; that’s how democracy works. As Obama once said, “Elections have consequences.”
As ever, the obvious gets ignored. Trump is no Republican. He is unique, which is exactly why he produces so much antipathy and resi…
Big Brother, working for auntie Kristi Noem. "I used to spell it with a Y, but I changed it to an I, because nobody took me seriously."

Sometimes, things turn to shit in EVERY direction. The extended family has been severely affected by the Typhoon rampaging through the central Philippines today. Rooves blown off, severe flooding. Interim report: The new-ish house in the hills is s…
The lovely and wonderful and splendid and beautiful Dem. Establishment won't dare to nominate anyone with a REAL, progressive vision for positive change. Jefferies, Schumer and the other dinosaurs are still in control. I'd love to see AOC in the WH …
...Assuming we do have "free and fair" elections? The Orange Criminal disruptor has no intention of leaving, it's very clear. And the Red States are creating new Congressional districts by just pulling them out from where the sun don't shine. ICE an…
... I was also just reminded via a recording of the play, about that umpire's blown pitch-call. Ball, then strike. The runner was strolling to 1st base. It turned into a double play for the Dodgers. That was a major bunch of junk. That umpire needs …
A service provider I use sent me a bunch of stuff to fill out recently, which they already had, and I knew it. I filled out SOME of the stuff; other items they were asking for got a "you don't need to know that" reply from me.
I called. They had s…

Scarlet Begonias. "I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls."
Out of Cuba. Chan Chan. Previously popularized by the Buena Vista Social Club. (The film was produced or directed by Ry Cooder. Anyhow, he was instrumental in getting it out to the public.)

We are certainly on the same page. Yes, some natural decline over time may well be inevitable. Other countries were restored and developed after the War. And in the decades since, others are stepping into their time in the sun, too. Bu…
Edge of the seat kinda stuff. Yes! But in Game 7, in many instances we could point to, neither team could capitalize on opportunities, as if they suddenly were allergic to scoring. And Game 3 went HOW MANY innings? From that angle, neither team DESE…
@Crash. I only just realized how much Chris Isaak channelled Roy Orbison's rock-a-billy style.
And I do love an Irish tune with lots of fiddle work. Thanks.
+1.
ORK. Ya, just disengage from all that's going on around us. Ignore injustice, masked gov't Gestapo violence, the ethically rudderless Fuhrer, etc.
Don't let emotions get in your way is a good idea rather than to constantly fiddle with the portfol…
