Bumper Stickers

LORD, I saw a car bumper sticker the other Day. Said, "Come the Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?"
Been thinking whether to keep my eye open for another Altima, or maybe just a simple Sentra...
I have a question for you Baruch: Do you think it would be right for me to snatch away all those owners/drivers/pilots of cars, boats, planes, and buildings... and leave the bankers holding "the bag" full of bad debts, they call them "toxic assets"?
I think I see what you mean LORD. Something like, if I eat at a fancy restaurant, guess I have to pay the check before leaving... hee, hee, pay the check before checking out!!

Valley of Dry Bones

What happened here LORD?

"This was at one time a large lake in the Garden. I told the inhabitants not to swim in this Lake. But they didn't listen... They insisted they knew what they were doing. A small fish, the Piranha...each one in the school took a small bite. Stripped the flesh off the bones in minutes... So I dried up the lake. There are all the bones, picked clean and bleaching in the sun. Sad, they didn't listen.

Woe

Woe to the Earth when the slave becomes the Master. Who can bear it?

Maror, maror...

Don't you get it maahn? Trillions of dollars have been "Raptured" and You have been "Left Behind" [Well, somebody has to continue to hoe the cotton and make the Bricks... For what? Of course for Pharaoh's Tomb!]

Let's Play "What's My Line?"

Let's Play "Who Said It?"

"Anyone who can't make a profit by borrowing money at 5.8% and lending it at 13.8% should find another line of work." Hint: answer is in The Book!

The Credit Card Business

Charles Cawley, former CEO of MBNA, said (that is before MBNA was sold to Bank of America, which was all before Bank of America applied for Government Bail-out Funds...) The Credit Card Business is a Very Good Business...

The $20,000 Car...

Question: If the car costs $10,000 to build, why is the price $20,000? Answer: Someone has to pay the interest on the $10,000!!!

The Money/ Interest Mole Is In "The Garden"

Solution: Do I have a trap for you...!!!

The Complaint Department: U.S. Congress

What's yur "beef" Bubba, you elected these financial traitors!!!

Capitalism for the Poor DOA

in the fine print: you take the risks, we take the profits... and later only after you have signed the deal, do you learn you are Dead On Arrival!!!
