Ben B. speaks

Today Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, spoke. He told us our current recession (it is official) is nothing like the Great Depression. He told us it is much milder.

Given his track record pronouncing "great words of direction" for mass consumption, I'd suggest stockpiling food, water, clothing, fuel..

If possible, move to a remote cabin, to ride out the coming collapse.

"B.B. Thing" has been our weathervane -- if he says north -- it surely blows south.

Batten down the hatches.
