    NYSE Halted Mid-Day

    They claim it is a technical issue and cancelled all open orders.
    Have the wheels started coming loose?



    Breaking: Wall Street Journal website also shutdown

    Don't know if it's a major computer hack or not. United Airlines had a major computer problem earlier, Wall Street Journal as well and now NYSE is halted with computer glitch! These are big computer operations with very sophisticated computer security, seems very suspicious to just be coincidence! As the China financial market is going south as well and Greece is drowning in "Funny Money"!

    yes, like I was saying...it seems REALLY FISHY that ALL hat happened in that short of a period of time...but he worlds largest stock trading organization CANNOT afford to own up to someone hacking them...the backlash would be legendary I bet.

    Anyways, grab some popcorn and let's see what they "say" happened

    WAR makes MONEY grow and gives the living people spending dough.

    Helps with the control of the over population of the human resources as well.

    Destroys things that need to be rebuilt and replaced.

    Creates MANY NEW JOBS in the medical industries. New limbs and such, and trying to mend the minds of those that saw what is best not seen.

    a win win situation?

    been going on forever so it must be part of the BIG PLAN.

    Shep Smith said the subway system in NYC shut down because of a computer problem this morning, but it definitely wasn't an attack. All this was just a coincidence... Nothing to see here, people, Let's just move along.

    Shemp Smith is the biggest D-bag on Fox News...after Geraldo that is. They should both go over to PMS-NBC.

    The Aliens, Elvis an JFK all appeared at the same time an building today.

    Hence the shutdowns.

    I also herd Black Helicopters were flying around said locations today...I smell a link!

    In other news, I hear the CIA has gone back to putting drugs into inner cities, an plotting hits on Communist leaders.

    Just Aliens, Elvis and JFK in the building at the same time, that's not that great of a concert, now if Captain Kangaroo was with them, that would be some show! Then everything would shut down for that show, "Chimp" Smith and the "Real Dough" would have a story worthy of them.

    Gary Gnu. That's a name I haven't heard of in a long time. I use to watch that show a long time ago. Gotta go to youtube now.

    I miss the Gary Shandling Show...or however you spell his last name.

    I miss any news that doesn't A. Make news, B. Only report the bad ****.

    NEWSFLASH

    GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN THE WORLD EVERYDAY!

    It just doesn't sell well. Nobody cares about the good things. More fun to hate on everything else in the world. I was reading a story today..Kinda bad, but a good ending. So I go to peruse the comments section(I do know better but I am a glutton for punishment) an..oh..85% of them were slamming the lady in the story as if she had just bitten the head off a dozen babies an puppies while singing "Dancing in the streets".

    Good news doesn't sell, hence why it's all doom an gloom an conspiracy an everything else.

    A sea turtle colony died today. It's Obama's fault. Several Kittens mysteriously ended up bald, the republicans did it! A goat meow'd..those nasty liberals must be up to no good! Several storks died today in transit to moving to cooler weather...rumor has it, the Illumanti was behind it an it was a sponsored terrorist attack by the anti-christ.

    OH an the above is also why the stock market shut down for a little bit, same with the airline that did also.

    It'd be utter foolishness to believe a fantasy such as...it was an actual technical hiccup. Not in this day an age. Computers never break an programs never develop bugs. I got more faith in the devil existing then that!

    Disclaimer: The above is sprinkled with liberal amounts of sarcasm, wit, an a dose of my actual thoughts. An yes..I fly a black helicopter for a living.

    Seriously tho..I herd a tech hiccup, who knows. As Webuy said, they'll never admit it, due to the security implications, if it was anything more then a hiccup.

    This just in: A dog quacked. News at 11 how this will lead to the impeachment of several top senators.

    I trust no news but the Onion.

    Sirscrapalot - Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad. - Joesph Prince

    Pink Floyd – You Gotta Be Crazy Lyrics





    Gotta be crazy, you gotta be mean,
    Gotta keep your shoes and your car clean,
    Gotta keep smiling, you gotta keep fit,
    You gotta keep drinking, you gotta eat ****.

    You gotta be small to be a big shot,
    Gotta eat meat to stay at the top,
    You gotta be trusted, you gotta tell lies,
    Gotta be able to narrow your eyes.

    You gotta believe they've gotta believe you,
    Gotta appear to be easy to see through,
    Gotta be sure you look good on TV,
    Gotta resemble a human being.

    You gotta keep one eye over your shoulder,
    Gonna get harder as you get older,
    Gotta fly south and hide in the sand,
    Gotta forget that your gonna get cancer.

    And when you lose control,
    You'll reap the harvest you have sown,
    And as the fear grows,
    The bad blood slows and turns to stone.
    And it's to late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around,
    So have a good drown as you go down alone,
    Dragged down by the stone.

    You gotta be sure, you gotta be quick,
    Gotta divide the tame from the sick,
    Gotta keep all of us docile and fit,
    You gotta keep everyone buying this ****.

    They gotta get you started early,
    Processed by the time you're thirty,
    You work like **** till your sixty-five,
    Then your time's your own until you die.

    Gotta admit to a lot of confusion,
    Pain in the head is the child of collusion,
    Gotta resist this creeping malaise,
    Gotta believe in the way you get out of the maze.

    But you, you just keep on pretending,
    You can tell a sucker from a friend,
    But you still raise the knife,
    To stranger, lover, friend and foe alike.

    Who was born in a house full of pain?
    Who was sent out to play on his own?
    Who was raised on a diet of shame?
    Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
    Who was told what to do by the man?
    Who was broken by trained personnel?
    Who was fitted with bridle and bit?
    Who was given a seat in the stand?
    Who was forcing his way to the rails?
    Who was offered a place on the board?
    Who was only a stranger at home?
    Who was ground down in the end?
    Who was found dead on the phone?
    Who was dragged down by the stone?

    Dragged down by the stone!

    I miss Captain Kangaroo and his side kick Mr. Green Jeans. Can't remember the little puppet that used to talk to him though??

    P.S. I had heard that Captain Kangaroo had been a bada** Marine during WWII. Alas, no he wasn't on Iwo Jima. He had joined the Marines very late in the war and probably never made it to theater...

    Hobo you're not a Pink Floyd fan are you?

    I just had to jump over to youtube and listen to You Gotta Be Crazy and Dogs.

    Another reason why I like youtube.

    Back on topic. I try to avoid watching the news unless it's fox news, because they're fair and balanced, right??
