Obama polls quite poorly for an incumbent, especially considering how blatantly the polls oversample Democrats, young voters, blacks, hispanics, women, etc.

Ah Ha, there you are! 😉  
So what happened to you? You abandoned the evil crew just when things start to get interesting?

But I guess we need to break the 50 day average first to get some heated action or see how the Dax does tonight since it is finally breaking down and forming the closest pattern seen at the top double 4 years ago.  (hmmm the top now was double 5 years ago)

Which is better?  The 911 hit for tomorrow or 9111 hit for Friday?   Traditional 911 versus triple 9 or 39?   Or do both work?

Tomorrow is also 875 days from flash crash day.

The NFL looks set to return the regular referees to work this week starting with tomorrow’s Thursday night game.

In 1987, the NFL player’s strike lasted from week’s 3-6 with no action on Week 3 and replacement players from weeks 4-6.   The final week of the stirke week 6 took place on the Sunday before the lesser grand ritual although there was a Monday night game played that year undoubtedbly after the lesser grand ritual.

The NFL owners controlled this strike throughout, first by initiating a lockout of the refs so it was in their hands to end it.   Make believe theater in my opinion and the refs went along with it.

And then we had Monday night’s “fiasco” which has supposedly spurred the owners into action by reupping and concluding negotiations with the refs when in reality their product is so popular that they could have continued on despite using the 3 Stooges and Keystone Cops as replacement refs and they could have cared less about the public outcry.   But suddenly Monday night’s games has produced a Mega-Windstorm of outrage across the public arena even making it among the top stories amongh the mainstream news outlets.

Seattle receiver #18 basically pushed away one defender (pass interference) so he could jump up and put one hand on the ball that had already been intercepted by Packer’s defender #43 and claim a simultaneous reception on a hail mary play at the end of the game.   A simultaneous reception goes to the offensive player and the replacement refs erroneously awarded him a touchdown which was upheld by a review official (who is an NFL employee somehow not on strike).

But one can only be offended if he isn’t already expecting this type of action and knows this is how it was scripted/ intended to be.   If the NFL wanted to right this wrong, they could have called the replay official in the booth and told him to reverse it.    Which didn’t happen.   Which means they wanted the result and the next day this point was validated when it issued a press release commending the replacement official’s call.

This is the more likely reason for the “surprise” ending in Seattle:

Seattle was originally a 5to 5 1/2 point home dog to the 1929 Champion Packers, a huge public team.  Then the point spread dropped to around 3 points and the Packers public money flooded into the Packers although theoretically it should have been the opposite.    At 5 1/2 points, the Packers’ bettors would have lost if the original 12-7 score held up (and lo and behold the Packers went for a 2 point conversion which they failed at after getting their last touchdown) but it was 3 point bettors who were screwed with the final score.

RJ Bell a betting expert and weekly guest on the 4 letter morning radio show, was quoted in WSJ saying that the public overwhelmingly bets the favorites so when underdogs win, Vegas cleans up.    There was also something like 9 teams who were 3 points or greater underdogs this week who actually won outright, the highest level of such teams since the final week of 2004??

As long as we get an FP, going to bet heavily on some december spy puts.  and I’ll throw a nice donation your way. Just trying to figure out what the catalyst could be

wow, riots everywhere, here’s one in greece, now.

electronic voting machines, will be programmed to report just that.

the
non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that if
Congress takes the middle ground – extending the Bush-era tax cuts but
cancelling the automatic spending cuts – the result, in the short term,
would be modest growth but no major economic hit.

Tis the Season of the Panic!!!!!      SUMMER’S END orrrrrrrr     as Ray Bradbury puts it:

FAREWELL SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I revisited a blogger with an expertise in lunar crash cycles, a blog so extreme that I rarely visit it (and interestingly enough, he never even mentions NWO just standard communist conspiracies) just to get reacquainted with the upcoming key cycles as complacency had dulled my usual ultra-bearish tendencies.   If the cycles work this time, it will be one of the alltime great panics but I guess they have been predicting that for the past 40 years or so but  still to occur off a top that quickly would be an amazing feat.

NFL refs look set to return to action this week.   Double four years ago, there was an NFL player’s strike that ended the week before the great stock crash.

They were getting a little carried away with their rituals culminating in the joke NFL ending Monday night(when the sucker public got their usual fleecing) but that is enough material for a separate post.
