Caviar Dreams...From Paris
The vulgar gush of bad decisions is sadly playing out.
The President tips champagne glasses and hosts $17,600 plate caviar fundraisers, while the residents of LA drown in bad news and sticky, spewing oil. Today, the President shut down one third of our domestic oil production. No more off shore drilling. We will now be much more dependent on people in the middle east who hate us. "Cheers. Pass the caviar."
Edun-Ugly...From Paris
Net-a-Porter is a fun fashion forward site. I confess, I enjoy breezing through their updates and trend analysis. Today, I received an update titled "Eco-chic." I smiled and thought "Oh please. Can't I just look at completely superficial things without guilt and the tofu-topped coating?"
"An ethical brand"..."contemporary casual wear with an ethical twist."
Please. Let's not be silly. This jacket (part of the Edun brand) is ridiculously U-G-L-Y, and it's $400? They also have t-shirts for $60.
Please. If ethical fashion costs that much, and accomplishes ugly, count me out.
It is worse than you think, cont
US money supply plunges at 1930s pace as Obama eyes fresh stimulus
The M3 money supply in the United States is contracting at an accelerating rate that now matches the average decline seen from 1929 to 1933, despite near zero interest rates and the biggest fiscal blitz in history.
Argan oil: Feed from the Tree of Life

Do you really need to spend the earth on fancy moisturisers? In a word, no. Argan oil is cheap as chips and probably the best-kept beauty secret.
Argan oil's anti-ageing properties are due to high levels of Vitamin E and saponins, which soften the skin. It can help to reduce wrinkles by restoring the skin's water lipid layer and it also cools and soothes inflammation. Its antioxidant properties help to neutralise free radicals. Yet it does all this quite naturally. The oils are pure – there are no synthetic chemicals that could cause irritation in sensitive skin.
There is an App for that

John Galt
THE PRESIDENT SAYS you’ve got enough money. “During a conference at which I just spoke, the owner of several companies showed me a pair of cufflinks he’d just had custom-made, engraved with the words ‘Who Is John Galt?’ If the president isn’t familiar with Ayn Rand’s Galt, he might want to read up. This business owner said the cuff-links were the last item other than absolute necessities that he would buy until Obama was an ex-president. He said he was sending out a letter to the restaurants and shops he patronized, his dry cleaners, the service companies that tended his lawns at his homes – over 200 different business owners – letting them know that President Obama had determined he was making too much money and was too rich for reason. Therefore, he was going to cut sales and production at his companies by half, himself work but one day a week, cut business spending to the bone and personally buy nothing – other than vacations out of the country – until the president exits.”
Just PR
Why Bother?
The government has clarified the role of the 1,200 National Guard troops it is sending to the Mexican border: they will not be enforcing the immigration laws.

Study finds increased gov’t spending results in unemployment (Harvard Business School?)
The results of the new study by Harvard Business School will certainly shock some Keynesian academics — and high-ranking government officials. Instead of providing a stimulating effect to the economy, government spending creates pressures on private industry to reduce staff and investment. The study’s authors count themselves as among the shocked:
Recent research at Harvard Business School began with the premise that as a state’s congressional delegation grew in stature and power in Washington, D.C., local businesses would benefit from the increased federal spending sure to come their way.
It turned out quite the opposite. In fact, professors Lauren Cohen, Joshua Coval, and Christopher Malloy discovered to their surprise that companies experienced lower sales and retrenched by cutting payroll, R&D, and other expenses. Indeed, in the years that followed a congressman’s ascendancy to the chairmanship of a powerful committee, the average firm in his state cut back capital expenditures by roughly 15 percent, according to their working paper, “Do Powerful Politicians Cause Corporate Downsizing?”
