Local News:
In response to Wednesday's unprecedented traffic debacle in the Metro area, where motorists were stuck in their cars for up to 10 hours, Obama has appointed a new Local Snow Traffic Czar (a record 45th Czar overall) Sue Palka. He also created a new department, the Office of Personnel Management Management.
In related news, in a move akin to clearing the shelves at Home Depot of emergency supplies following a storm, sales from http://www.mypeepeebottle.com/ surge to record levels Thursday, 1/27, as motorists vow 'never again' to be caught in a traffic debacle without emergency waste removal systems.
World News for those who watch too much TV:
In Egyptian Survivor, Mubarak was voted off the island; however, in a rare authoritarian countermove, he has proposed voting off the tribe instead (too soon?)
Stock News:
Goldman Sachs trader "Marvelous" Mark has proposed adding tear gas to the list of commodities trading on the Chicago Merchantile Exchange. "We're seeing the trend from Greece and Thailand now move to Tunisia, and Egypt. We see this as an awesome way for speculators to make money as Sovereign Leaders around the world love how teargas looks on CNN. It smokes alot, and makes people run. We think the trend is up and people should trade the tape."
More downside coming in the major markets? A secret, proprietary indicator has recently triggered signalling an imminent, dramatic downturn. To protect against Libel the actual name cannot by used; however, we can say that the 'PB' indicator last triggered in mid-April and consists of much crowing about stock appreciation, tales of early retirement, and other crass, self-aggrandizing boasts about finances through Social Media. The PB indicator triggering is a STRONG SELL. We recommend moving to all-cash immediately.
That's a wrap folks.
