Yeah, but they're completely useless until the solar powered microwave oven is invented.

On the Missouri ballot this Nov. ...we are voting to build a LARGE-AZZ Wall.

It will encircle the entire state.

I saw the plans.

Lots of rocks, steel, watch towers, boiling vats (for oil), etc.

The moat is a option that may be voted down (it's an earmark I think?).

(We've been hearing/considering the 'Rug Doctors' wailings for years. So finally the fools decide to act!)

Think; 'GREAT WALL OF MISSOURI'.

You will probably be able to see it from space.

(Don't even think of invading once the chaos starts! Our cell phones, when thrown from atop the wall, will blot out the sun!) Ouch!

Edit: To all you gold/silver hoarders ... best to stockpile lots of salt/pepper/condiments ...to make that bullion easier to digest.

'Bon Appetit.'

I can't believe they did it! The bottom has just dropped out for me, I am stunned. It is like passing through a wall of fear, and now your faced with here we are. What do we do next?

Gold at 915.00 OZ.....up about $35.00...on CNBC a rush to hard assets.

The Bond market is where the damage is.....

Palumbo - in philly? forget it... just about.

Otherwise, a good 357 revolver. If you won't be carrying, a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun, pump is best.

I shot a target pistol once and loved the feel of it, not sure if it was an 87 or not, but it sure felt nice... What would provide a nice cost effective way of protection?

Spooning to get spoons to stay alive?
