A temporary end to bliss

By News Desk

With a rare exception or two, I’ve been blissfully ignoring Roger Pielke Jr’s recent stuff for the last year or so as he slid into irrelevance. As long as I didn’t read his stuff, I could keep open the possibility that he was doing something useful.

Cyprus Banks Closed Until Thursday; "Solution is Feasible, Can Be Extrapolated to Spain", Says Spanish Economist; Lies of the Day

By News Desk

Direct robbery of Spanish citizens would net Spain about €120 Billion according to economist Niño Becerra who says ” Cyprus Solution is Feasible, Can Be Extrapolated to Spain ” Santiago Niño Becerra, Professor of Economics at the University Ramon Llull in Barcelona, says a tax as imposed on Cyprus in exchange for bailout, would be possible and that “it is very clean, unlike a freeze all balances, which would be a mess.” Through his twitter account, Niño Becerra says it would be more painful for Cypriots if “the bailout were to occur in the form of public debt.” The Spanish government was quick yesterday to claim the Cyprus solution was not applicable to other countries.

Third Fool From the Left

By News Desk

Third Fool From the Left Ethon was looking hungry yesterday.  Eli asked him (cautiously and from a distance) what was up.  Turns out that he took a moving contract from Scrotum , to deliver Chris Monckton around the world where he could advance Mycroft’s Agenda 21.  As the bunnies may recall, Joe Bast and the Heartland Mob had finally cottoned onto Chis’ unwitting, but effective, role in the UN plan to subjugated the world.  Being from Chicago, and well funded by  Bankroll Barry, they had sent some associates to London to terminate the annoyance. Fortunately, Mycroft had gotten a message from Peter Gleick (the matter having been discussed at the Heartland board meeting last winter, one of the memos held close) and was able to take measures to spirit Chris to safety and a world wide lecture tour, keeping one step ahead of the competition.  Unfortunately, there had been no time to commission a transportation module from W&H Giddon, Saddlers and they had to make do with what Scrotum could scare up at the Extreme Restraints Bondage store deep in the East End. There were chafing consequences accounting for several pictures taken recently Eli kept adding pins to the map as Ethon flew Monckton from Scotland, to Rio to Qatar to the Antipodes, assuming that the bird was being well fed and was quite surprised by the rather thin appearance of his friend.   The scam doesn’t work anymore Eli, Ethon sadly told him.  Monckton is discovering that you can’t get to the edge of crazy, there is always someone a bit further on the edge than you.  Supporting a globe trotting lifestyle, a hunting lodge here and there, and the tailor is an expensive business and Chris has had trying times as funding for his main gig, denial of climate change, dries up.  Scrotum has been furloughed and is looking for work in Washington, it is so bad.  His Lordship has been trying birtherism, snake oil cures for everything from HIV to Graves disease, getting a gig in the House of Lords.  Poor lad, he got tossed out of a crazy Brit right wing party for being  " semi detached " Well Ethon, Eli replied, surely, somebunnies, somewhere, maybe at the ends of the earth have a need for more Monckton.  Sadly, yes, said Ethon, but they don’t pay very well;)
