Master
of the Universe, Diamond Bob is here reported to have hired Jon Corzine’s
ultra-high-priced defense (criminal) lawyer in NYC. Corzine is the
ultra-pol/Master of the Universe, ex Goldman Sachs, ex Governor and ex-Senator
from the well-known, Mafia and Union dominated state of New Joysey. Corzine
appears prima facie to be responsible for the disappearance of $1 bil bucks of
his now bankrupt firm’s clients’ money. So Diamond Bob is in good (criminal)
company. Like most Masters of the Universe, Corzine’s a Democrat. Other
notorious examples of the breed are Hank Paulson, Goldman Sachs (Chairman &
CEO - ex), US Treasury Sec - ex.
Hollande
to Peugeot SA – of course you cannot reduce your workforce nor close a factory,
even if you cannot sell enough cars to justify keeping them on. Why on earth do
you think you’re in business at all? A) to follow government orders, B) to
follow Union orders. (BTW, the government follows Union orders). Can we be more
clear? Let MBZ and BMW eat cake.
Observe,
read and be very afraid. Now that A. Blair and his consort Cherie have made
their multi-millions fixing the Middle East and Kazakhstan (one of the Stans
anyway), Tone is bored and is waiting to be called on to fix Europe.
The
Euro front is in a lull for the moment. Perhaps because the Karlsruhe redcoats
say they are going to take their sweet time to save die Kanzlerin from
submitting to the Brussels sand-bagging by Club-Med (where they probably
slipped her some GHB). Bootle makes a good point about the True Finns. They
live on a bracing diet of over-proof vodka, very hot steam baths, followed by
self-flagellation with privet hedge and rolling in the snow naked. They should
be able to see off Club-Med, no problem. The soft under-belly of Europe as Sir
WSC reminds us.
So
another phoney war among Euro-combatants appears for the time being to have
broken out. We’ll just have to listen for the sound of crockery crashing to the
floor somewhere in Madrid.
You’ll
enjoy the photos of Nicko and lovely Christine. The Deuxième has them both in
its dodgy dossier for egregious ministerial misconduct; which usually has to do
with off the books corrupt election funds. Can Insp Clouseau make this one
stick?
