Beaver Friday - Code red alert - stay tuned for a duck and cover under the bed...

While the rest of the world moves from crisis to crises our friendly beaver goes about his business building his dam and prepares for winter. It's what beavers do you know. In the mean time the world heals worry upon worry and scare upon scare. What no impending tornado bearing down on us or killer heat wave to worry about? Just have to slide some more terrorists under the bed to keep the masses in line.

Distractions? Hum? How about a man standing on his head on the back of a tiger riding an elephant while the elephant walks a tight rope. Now that just might make the 11 o'clock news. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain pulling levers causing the sirens of panic and boogyman alerts, his assistant is busy robbing the coffers of world governments. It was after all their nefarious plan all along. If you think for a minute that you'll make it anywhere near the top of this monetary dung heap think again. Only a percentage of a percent make it to that club and you aren't in it.  Their minions are busy scaring the poop out of the peonage™. Just how are the Hamptons this year Buffy? 

Wow it's now about 8:30 AM here and the news feed goes on and on and on, post after post after post about the boogyman (Al-Qaida) just itching to get his hooks in us. First off I haven't been out of this country but maybe 3 times in my life. And I seriously doubt we'll see bands of bare footed dark robed foreigners roaming our streets complete with an AK-47 in one hand and a pressure cooker in the other. Be very afraid they tell us. Sorry ain't buying it. You cried wolf once to many times. And this being a Friday I'd bet a weeks wages (that is if I had a job) that the latest scam is neatly being swept under the rug as we speak. It's how they roll and we're on to the game now.

So go about your business there's nothing to see here and oh yes...

Bank fails later
UPDATE: One bank in FL failed this week.
