I think you reached your tipping point today, with all of the shit you had to deal with in your comments section. Between Pelican and Merlin, they’re all going to get godzilla raped now.
Mr. R.W. Pelican is making some sweeping changes to the site. Stay tuned.
Another outstanding addition to your team. Great pick for a difficult yet essential job.
Clearly well vetted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jBJs9pnTDc
What the horse?
you’ve obviously heard of the old “make a pelican the largest shareholder to avoid liability before doing something egregious” trick haven’t you?
I’ve grown accustomed to iBC doing many glorious and gentlemanly things. “Egregious” fills me with some trepidation.
Golf clap.
Most appropriate attire for such a prestigious position.
Jake,
I may be mistaken, but I thought Bow Tie was referring to CNBC as teabaggers in the Ricky Martin sense rather than the Paul Revere (and the Raiders?) sense…
Revere mainly made the spoons that stirred the tea……
ha.
LOL.
I think you are confusing CNBC and CNN … what is Gloria Vanderbilt’s son’s name again? The Shark Rassler?

This in hopes that the changes do not alter the spirit of the site.
Fly I think you are making the right call with keeping things a little “close to the vest”, probably blue to match the blazer but I have digressed already.
I live in a little town that over my life has been largely unaffected by all the boom and bust cycles the economy and market have taken. People here tend to be pretty damn resourceful and self sufficient with a prevalent undercurrent of “screw you, you dork” thrown in for good measure. It’s different this time. People are fearful, small businesses are hurting as never before reporting sales down 20, 30 even close to 50%. I have never seen that. Right now there is not a single building permit for a new home pulled in our entire county. Never seen that either.
I’m clerk of our township and as such have my finger on the pulse of our local economy as well as what is happening in the state. Our constitutional sales tax revenue sharing is down about 12% . This number is based almost solely on revenue generated by the state sales tax collected and even with the supposed boost from cash for clunkers barely showed a blip last quarter. The public mood seems to be, “even if I had money, I wouldn’t spend it right now.” People are fearful. They have lost all faith and trust in our federal and state government. I thought we were going to have a mini tax revolt on our hands at the March Board of Review meetings due to the sheer number of property tax protests that were lodged. We have never had more than a couple in my time as clerk. (14 years) Housing around here is still resetting and going lower. A 5 bedroom 2 bath house on 10 fenced acres with a nice horse barn and an additional barn/workshop just sold for $70K. I would say that place should have sold in the range of $175-200K in a normal market.
Things are not normal even for a downturn.
Color me ….waiting…….cause it feels like it’s going to happen.
that’s quite a haircut – where do you live?
Northern Lower Michigan about 50 miles SE of Traverse City/the Gold Coast. Yes, other than living in a beautiful area where anyone in their right mind would want to retire, Michigan blows chunks right now.
Fly will spend $70,000 on landscaping this spring……odd no?
What state are we talking about here? Michigan??
_____
Sounds like northern WV or somewhere close by in the Ohio River Valley
In my area (east of Washington DC) mostly condos are less than 150K. Waterfront listings are down about 10 percent on the ask price, and many are on the market for a long time, 100+ days.
One top of market waterfront listing is a 10 million ask for a place that was last sold for 1 million ten years ago. It remains unsold for 467 days. In a modest suburban neighborhood, 200K buys a wood shack, meaning a tear down and higher completed project price.
I would favor an older home though. Most new construction is like sausage, once you have seen it made you lose your appetite.
Very astute guess Sir Gint.
OK, we got our 40 point gain in DOW. Why not fking close the markets now and ask those teabaggers on CNBC go home?
Geez, even the folks on CNBC are “teabaggers” now?
Paranoid much, Leftoid?
