#1 Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev proposed a global currency called the "acmetal" -- a conflation of the words "acme" and "capital."

I'm thinking Comrade Nazabayev has never watched Road Runner cartoons. Acme Capital, indeed. BeepBeep.

#2 Don't worry, Vlad. Obambi is doing all he can to trash the US economy. Pretty soon even rubles will be seen as worth something.

#7 No Rabid, didn't see it. Clarke is northeast, Athens area. I'm down south. Not surprised however. Public housing has worked so well in the past. Shame on Sonny Perdue for taking a dime of it!
