"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." - P.J. O'Rourke "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes." Mark Twain "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" - YOGI BERRA "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency.

madness of men.”
– Sir Isaac Newton, after losing a fortune in the

The great bailout - Europe's best-kept secret by Anatole Kaletsky June 3, 2009: Germany Blasts 'Powers of the Fed' by JOELLEN PERRY June 3, 2009: Staying Rich in the New Normal by Bill Gross Rendezvous in Paris On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets. Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground. If you haven't seen this before it is a classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it's still a classic. Turn on your sound and enjoy... |
