13,000 – 46,500,000 – 22,500,000 – 8,750,000

Four charts that tell you everything you need to know about the American Empire of Dirt are below. While the 1% who run the rigged financial system of this country utilize their high frquency trading super computers to ramp the Dow Jones back up to 13,000 (still 8% below the level of 2007) in an effort to gorge themselves on the carcasses of the middle class, the true picture of our collapsing empire is there to see for anyone with two eyes and a functioning brain. There are 117 million households in this country and 22.3 million of them are on foodstamps. There are only 75 million owner occupied houses in the country and 30% of them have a mortgage loan greater than the home value. That’s 22.5 million households underwater. There are 243 million working age Americans and only 142 million of them working, with 35 million of those only working part-time. At the same time we have 48 million people collecting Social Security retirement and another 8.7 million people collecting Social Security Disability.

We have re-entered recession. Gas and food prices are rising. Europe is about to collapse. China’s fraud of an economy is coming to a halt. Retail sales have imploded. Consumer confidence is in the toilet. New and existing home sales are falling. But CNBC and the Wall Street shills are telling you its the best time to buy.

Are we living in bizarro world?

I take it doppleganging is signing on as someone else? What in the goddamn hell does that accomplish?? Look, if I have something to say I’ll say it under my own name. What’s the point otherwise? Seriously.

I chose a moniker that I can remember. FBD. The initials to my name. I memorized it several years ago. It’s no more nor no less than that. I am enjoying all the tin foil conspiracy theories, however.

Give it a rest. Game’s over. What’s my prize? I’m picking Door #5. You do remember the number 5 and the tutorial I gave you on counting, don’t you?

Also, IF I were to log on as someone else I would not choose something as retarded as “Stuchenboomer”, whatever the hell that is.

Guys, Pulllleeeeze, tone down the humor , I beg you.
I recently had an unfortunate accident requiring over 35 stitches to my anus and laughing is very painful in my current situation.
I enjoy an good joke as well as the next male thong enthusiast, but I’ve had a hard time adjusting to facing my utmost pleasure face first,
So , if you will , tone down the humor , because laughing causes my diaper to need a change.

FBD realized he had made a serious error in judgement. I suspect it may be Stuck, as he may have realized that after his previous run in with the constabulary, perhaps he may be better served to not make any threats, even in jest.

Welcome back, Stucky. Quite an entrance you made, I must admit. Hope you’re doing fine. I really do.

Now then, what’s behind Door #5? More importantly, what’s FBD stand for? Franz Bach Dickweed, perhaps?

llpoh — I didn’t make any error in judgment. I try to judge no one. In a moment of clarity I merely felt bad for freaking out another human being. There is no need for that. That is all.

SSS, once you make up your mind on something, you really stick with it, don’t you? I’ll bet when you get lost you just keep driving and driving. Ask for directions? Change course? Fuck that! Keep driving!!! Funny.

Let me introduce myself, I’m a psychiatrist. I can’t use my real name, or the name of the patient I’m monitoring, but you know him as “flash”.

Here at the state hospital, we’ve had to monitor his online activity as it is the direct result of him landing in our padded rooms so many times. He has bipolar disorder superimposed on paranoid schizophrenia. That is the technical term, but we usually just say “he’s crazy”, it saves explanation.

He devolves into manic episodes after cutting and pasting, and making links, and doing google searches. It make him think he is important, he get attention, but it does all sorts of frightful things to his ego and what’s left of his mind.

As we’ve been monitoring his activity on your blog, we’ve noticed people can clearly see he is insane, and recommend quite often that he needs to take medication. Let me assure you, he is prescribed very strong medication. But, as we monitor his activity on your blog, we can tell he does not take his medication. He’s had too many electro-shock treatments to count. The techs have a nickname for him “AC/DC” since he’s had so much electricity passed through his cranium.

I’ve published a number of studies on “flash”, as an example of what the internet can do to paranoid schizophrenics. I’ve used actual passages of what he’s posted in Psychiatric medical journals. He is a case study of a new type of mental pathology/insanity; that caused by blogging.

As state funding for psychiatric illnesses has been cut and cut again, we are forced to release “flash” out in public, but he doesn’t last very long, and we are called to put him in a straight jacket and put him back into solitary confinement until the lithium and ECT treatment kick in.

If I may, I hope that people on this blog will not encourage “flash” or buy into his insane ravings. You run the risk of becoming insane yourself, as his illness may rub off on you.

Well, I thought it was time to let you all how we’ve been monitoring the activity of “flash”, and the resultant insanity that is percolating through his brain. He is what we call “incurable”. None of our interventions have seemed to help. When we release him, he’s right back at it again, despite having burn marks on his temples from all the electroconvulsive treatments. Some people are so insane that they are beyond help. “flash” is such a case. Hopefully, we will get a Republican back in office and restore our funding, so we can keep him locked up forever. We can only hope.

I remain,
Dr. Chicago

Flash always logs in with his name in lower case, ie. flash. The person who posted that lewd photo did it using the upper case Flash. Whoever you are, knock it off. No nudity!!!!
