the flood is here but there's no water to drink


Max Keiser had the best metaphor for the financial crisis: the floods in Brisbane.

There's lots of liquidity floating around but the average citizen
can't even get a drink of the H2O of business, money
the common citizen is losing:
house swept away by bank tsunami
all consumer goods swept away by bailiff tsunami
work lost because factory was swept away

all we get is a roof rescue by helicopter
never to look back at Sodom,
or sodomy, if you realise how badly the banks have screwed us

The worst thing is that, like the Brisbane washout,
the financial crisis is manmade and spreading
like H1N1.

It's affecting the price of oil, coal, corn, wheat
EVERYTHING!
