After one of my servants in the comments section alerted me to SOPA, I did a little research and, much to your chagrin, have pledged solidarity with our lowly government. This may come as a surprise to many of you, since I run and operate one of the more successful and popular finance blogs in the world. However, the fact remains, vagrants must be put in their places.
What does that mean (chin scratcher)?
It means the majority of the bloggers and content providers should fall under the government auspices (hammer) and perhaps be arrested, for crimes against the republic. Remember, in a post 9/11 world, our clam-shuckers in DC cannot afford to let you have freedom. There are terrorists everywhere and pirates cannot enjoy the luxuries of internet access, like tax avoiding, insider trading government representatives. The internet “kill switch” will be used and many of you shall be detained for hate speech.
How is that just?
Quit thinking about things in black and white. This is a gray area, Sir, where fat chinned lawyers dictate the will of the American people through the proxy of the law. As a gentlemen of this republic and active member of Gentlemen Against Plebs (GAP), I’d like to see many of my competitors shut the fuck down, via government laser beam aka kill switch.
In other news, the market doesn’t want to go down; it’s honey badgering higher and there is nothing you or your stupid friends can do about it. We can all hope and pray for stocks to fall, basing our dreams on inevitability. Look at the fucking Mayans; apparently, their calendar ends this year–which can only mean one thing: the man who made the calendar died when he was mapping out 2012.
These messages are all very convoluted and prolixity seems to plague this blog post with unparalleled eloquence– but know this: “The Fly” drinks tea with the Gods and converses with shadows near his favorite urinal. The secrets of the world–as well as the market–are revealed to him in dreams and delivered here in riddles for all of you to decipher.
The bottom line: I like FSLR.

lol, wut?
tongue in cheek aside, Fly – you really should get behind the SOPA / PIPA protests.
Under this legislation – it would be Very easy for your enemies to claim copywrite on any of the pics used in the blogs, or the youtube music videos you post.
Then it’s “ligts Out” by your ISP until you can prove you’re innocence.
so much for due process
I don’t have time to protest. I leave that to lesser men.
Agree with kcscott. SOPA is what happens when 75 year old men in congress try and make internet legislation. Its very dangerous. Fly, I beg of you to reconsider your position.
If nothing else, think of all of those youtube clips potentially vanishing. User driven content also potentially is impacted. Its terrible legislation.
Stealing trademarked and copywriten material must be protected!
So, who do we shut down first? Gravatar, for hosting your T-800 avatar? Or iBC, for having it show up when you post?
And what do I care as long as I retire from Congress and take up a “new” job in the “private” sector. MPAA used to sign my campaign checks, now it signs my paycheck.
I, Lord Gates, under the powers vested unto me by Emperor 0bama, Princess Pelosi, and the Almighty Janet Napolitano, she be Queen of the strip searchers, hereby declare this iBC blog as a terrorist site. Furthermore, it has violated numerous copyrights belonging to the Three Stooges, Harpo Marx, Karl Marx, and John Dilinger. The KILL switch will be implemented sometime today. We just need to find out what Biden did with that switch.
Protesting is for people with too much time.
Like the founding fathers?
The founding fathers were vagrants!
I am against FUPA in all species.
FIGHT THE FUPA!!!
From what I understand the internet kill switch shuts down everyone, it is not selective. I think the government should have rights to shut down an individual server or two, but come on, how can you possibly need to shut down the entire internet like a eroG lA (reverse Al Gore)
The reason the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is because it is a circle and time is not. It is, quite simply, math since while the circumference of a circle theoretically contains infinite points, it is quite difficult to stone carve that small.

Also, instead of getting on the band wagon, I kinda do see your point.
