Post Israel Or Post Pro- Israel Influenced World Shaping Up. Things Will Be Better

Dan Henninger , the roving gunslinger of the Wall Street Journals Op Ed section had his forty-fives blazing today. His " The Laurel and Hardy Presidency" op-ed piece about Obama's tossing over its world leadership role to the Russians was almost as hysterical as per a sorority girl finding out her boyfriend is banging her room mate.Danny boy didn't like Russia riding in on a white horse to deliver a solution about U.S. concerns about chemical weapons that Syria possess.Obama jumped at the chance. It got him out of his "red line" pot shot and certain defeat by congress on "surgical strikes"-yeah right- by sonic 4000 pound Tomahawk missiles. Hearing Danny boy tell it was the familiar refrain about American losing credibility on Iran. Huh? Its about Syria Mr. Zionist. And get used to it. One day Israel will be gone or the U.S. will elect a president that doesn't fete Israel as a 51st state. Maybe that president will expel Zionists? That would be a happy day.I'm no Obama fan but out of the mouths of children sometime come correct answers.

Tehran Police Uniforms:Why Written In English ?

Todays front page of The Wall Street Journal shows a club-wielding Tehran, Iran policeman beating a man in front of Tehran University. The graffiti on the wall behind the combatants is written in Farsi-the language since the 9th century. Yet on the back of the police officers uniform are the words "Police" written in English not Farsi ! 

Looks like propaganda by the WSJ and others served up for dummies.

Hedge Funds & Private Equity: Bite-size Poison

Today "The Wall Street Journal" carried an article titled, " Investors Riding The 'Cash' Rapids". The point of the article was that this time it's different, risk has finally become manageable to the point of being a financial non-event. Why? Because the new template used by fund mangers utilizes the securitization of debt tthat supports investments. So defaults become affordable. The debt is made into bite-sized portions that can be eaten by financial appetites of all sizes. So if the worst happens in an investment, the effects are muffled because of the broadness of the participants.

That's novel. So financial poison is less lethal if more is distributed in smaller doses. But what about the half-life of financial poison? Doesn't it build up in the financial body until a critical mass of poison kills the polluted financial system? Caveat emptor.
