INDICATOR: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue: Score One For the Bulls

It’s that time of year again!  On last night’s Late Show with David Letterman, the cover model of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was revealed to be America’s own Kate Upton.  While we’re all familiar with the Super Bowl Indicator, have you ever heard of the  Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Indicator?  The Swimsuit Issue Indicator says that the US equity markets perform better in years where an American appears on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s annual issue as opposed to years when a non-American appears on the cover.

      The main document was a fake. The “teaching schoolchildren skepticism” came from the fake document.

      BTW, the total budget for HI is just over 6 million bucks. Thats the TOTAL budget. Compare that to Greenpeace, Sierra Club…lol…Who just took 26 million from Chesapeake Energy? Kind of a David/Goliath thing here Juice.

      They proposed to give WUWT 44K this year. That’s right, all it takes to bring down the billion dollar AGW scam is 44K. Quite a large bang for the buck.
