I had the idea to come here this evening and behave like a gentleman. You know, top hat with cane, asking you politely to pass a jar of mustard, from the luxury of my 80’s style limousine. For many weeks and months, probably years, I’ve treated my underlings harshly. I used to slap my trader/servant in the face with hot, hot slices of pizza. For the love of broken robots, I used to make my cold callers stand for 10 hours straight, just for the hell of it, while quoting from the movie Wall Street “lunch is for wimps, pal.” However, with age, “The Fly” has moved onto bigger and better targets, which is a topic for another day.
So there I was, thinking about what I should write about, then I read this fucking article. Holy shit, like a tonne of bricks falling on my nose, it struck me: we (current civilization) really are jackasses. Then I surmised we never landed on the moon and that landing was all Hollywood, kid. Fuck , we can’t even blow up airplanes with shoe bombs; there’s no way we went past the Van Allen Belt.
Then I read this article, and it sealed my opinion of life for good. It’s all one big practical joke. Someone is merely fucking with us, just like I fucked with my cold callers years ago. Come on, what rational person cannot find irony and comedy in the following sequence of sentences?
Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate, likened Assange to an al-Qaida propagandist and accused him, without offering any proof, of having “blood on his hands.”
“Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders?” she asked in a message posted on her Facebook page.
“I think Assange should be assassinated, actually,” Tom Flanagan, a former adviser to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, told the CBC. “I think Obama should put out a contract or maybe use a drone or something.” Flanagan, a U.S.-born professor of political science at the University of Calgary, later apologized.
How do I even respond to that ^^^ shit?
Since life is all a joke, feel free to throw whipped cream pies in the faces of any law enforcement agent tomorrow. I will tell you what I will be doing: laughing all the way to the fucking bank, as I plunder the account balances of misguided shorts.
As you were good Sirs.

Its 123 12/3. They use numbers like that. 11/11 was China tightening. and 11/23 was Nkorea Skorea. half long half short just in case!
I dont get scientists. Why the fuck r they surprised that they found a new type of life form. OF COURSSSSSEEEEE!!! We dont know everything, heck I bet you we dont know 5% of what is really out there. Why da hell do lifeforms have to be made of A,B, and C. Why cant it be K or T or Z. Idiots
But this is different. It’s like finding out 2+2 really equals 1 gagillion.
“Let me see if I’ve got this straight, Lieutenant: it’s an 8-foot creature, some kind with acid for blood, kills on sight, and is generally unpleasant.”
Preparing the masses for news about a (fake) alien invasion? Reason to implement martial law and take your freedom and property?
I’ll put it out there to plant the seed. I’ll give it a 50/50 chance.
“dispute over consensual but unprotected sex.” I think that means dude had a sexually transmitted disease, which he transmitted. At the very least. That was his lawyer talking.
Apparently leaking government secrets is a bad thing but exposing the toxic shit a major bank is holding is punishable by death
excellent!
Don’t reveal the truth or you will be executed. Nice world we live in. Who the fuck put these leaders in charge?
Although this post will not satisfy the “how can I suck more from your tits” crowd, I personally feel it is your best yet.
Why? I relate to it.
Might you be on the verge of a Kierkegaardian leap to faith?
Great song choice.
This world is a mess, everywhere.
Damn I took a course from Flanagan, and he seemed not that extreme, perhaps old age has soured him.
Thank you Fly and all the readers for making me the King again. Latest post in King of P.G. Land covers my thoughts on market direction, Q, NFLX and current portfolio strategy. Enjoy!

“No reason to get excited,”
The thief he kindly spoke.
“There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we’ve been through that,
And this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsely now,
The hour is getting late.”
the world is a ghetto.juicy
“And nothing comes to you without you bringing it forth yourselves, whether it be love or unlove, peace or unpeace, hatred, thirst for revenge and thirst for retaliation, suspicion, battle (war) or freedom and unfreedom (bondage) and everything that can be imagined, because truly, all signs (activities) of the signs (destiny) which come are created by you yourselves, both in the good and in the evil.”
Dear Honourable Fly,
On Behalf of the Canadian government, I applaud you for two things:
One, your mentioning of our country in your recent posting. The banking of coin in Canada is of no less material interest to us, given that our ‘bank’-ing system is considered a model for the world (i.e. less overt misuse of customers money) and that our ‘northern peso’ will soon be worth more than yours.
Second, your spelling of the word ‘tonne’, which is in keeping with the general spelling rules in the Great White North, where extra letters are routinely added to embellish our speech when we honour doughnuts, endeavour to eat youghurt, and think paedophiles are a tumour on society.
We encourage you to continue eschew the slovenly writing habits we see south of the border (ped x-ing, xmas, etc.)
“Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders?” Palin asked.
Does that mean she thinks we should pretend to search for him for the next 4 years without finding him? Just like Bin Laden.
9 years… 9 years
I read that every single one of the Congress folks up for re-election, who are in favor of Net neurtrality, got voted out of office this last time around. I hope that this isn’t accurate. Because if it is, we R in danger of having access to info severely restricted very soon.
Re the bacteria thing – just another example of people overestimating what they know.
the map is not the territory
wikileaks re story – just shows how inepth out gov is. All their CIA hackers couldn’t take the site down.
They should have hired the most experienced people in the world to take it down –
the Chinese
Indeud, our gov is incapable of protecting us
they should have hired 12 year olds to take it down, if they could find any willing to stop playing Grand Turismo 5 long enough
@Sham & Awe – I agree, we need to encourage our government to censor the public from all information that might make them look bad…forget about if any laws are being broken or if it’s a nonprofit group, just censor away!…we should let the government decide everything that we’re allowed to read on the internet….we need more authoritarianism…because it’s so so scary out there with all the terrorists….even though more Americans die from like…faulty toasters every year than terrorism.
Santa has been served.
Should have known that UE numbers would be bad when I drove by Home Depot the other day and there were elves mixed in with the usual dayworker crowd…
I am so sick of listening to jerks like Sen. Conrad who now want us to suck it up in order to reduce the deficit.
The politicos steal our SS and tax money, create wasteful programs that don’t work, and piss on the middle class to curry favor in order to get re -elected.
Just about everything the Gov’t touches turns to crap and then they want us to suck it up.
When do we take to the streets?
I am there.
We are too obese, lazy, worried about impressing our neighbors and busy watch Dancing with the Stars to ever take to the streets in revolt – will never happen in our lifetime…but I do agree with your comment.
btw, could really use some tips to improve my short game…except the skull chip, I got that down pat.
I used to skull it quite a bit, but my son the golf pro had me change the club position, hand and wrist action, and the shortened my takeaway.
Now I only skull it 20%of the time.
Yeah, I think I’m too tense and stiff, and the ball is too close when I grip down on the club…thanks.
i like the cut of yer jib, mate
I’m sure the US empire would last through eternity if we would only start leveling the residence of every dissenter, foreign and domestic, with massive aerial explosives in order to kill the target and anything else in the entire vicinity…who needs things like trials anyway……this guy Tom Flanagan….a classic arm chair, wannabe tough guy…advocating the slaughter of innocent people between sips of coffee…fuck him.
It is my belief that we all live in a Orwellian world. He who controls the past controls the future.
True history has been suppressed, we have become economic slaves, everything around us is nothing but a distraction.
