un buon anno a tutti specialmente al "k"....mi sono autoimposto due settimane di astinenza internettiana/finanziaria, mi ha fatto molto bene.
Riparto in questo inizio anno con la notizia sensazionale della tanto agognata rottamazione del mio modem a 56k (pace all'anima sua...) per una splendida chiavetta HSDPA della "3".....non ne potevo più-----
Mi fa piacere (preferivo comunque perdere, almenoo guadagnavo qualcosa....) sapere di aver vinto il concorso a pronostico secco "a quanto stara' ies al 31 dicembre.." se mi dite il premio vi farò avere il mio recapito per la spedizione....

dal blog di Begge Grillo:
L' oroscopo del 2009
A gennaio l’economia rallenta, ma tiene.
A febbraio Morfeo Napolitano nutre qualche preoccupazione per il PIL.
A marzo Tremonti implora gli italiani, Geronzi, Profumo e Passera di comprare Bot, Btp e CCT.
Ad aprile lo psiconano garantisce sul futuro dell’Italia.
A maggio Boss(ol)i rassicura che il federalismo è alle porte.
A giugno alle elezioni non ci va nessuno.
A luglio i nuovi disoccupati sono più di due milioni.
Ad agosto Morfeo Napolitano spiega in diretta televisiva che una possibile crisi lo inquieta.
A settembre Tremonti taglia del 30% le pensioni e gli stipendi del pubblico impiego. Sempre a settembre il debito pubblico supera i 1900 miliardi. Sempre a settembre lo psiconano si fa riprendere in via Montenapoleone a Milano a fare acquisti per rassicurare gli italiani. Bondi, Cicchitto e Gasparri passano tutti i pomeriggi alla Upim a riempire i carrelli.
A ottobre gli insegnanti non ricevono lo stipendio e le scuole sono chiuse.
A novembre falliscono le amministrazioni pubbliche di Roma, Napoli, Palermo e Bari. Sempre a novembre lo psiconano si reca due settimane alle Barbados per dare l’esempio e dimostrare a tutti che la crisi è un’invenzione dei comunisti.
A dicembre, dall’elicottero, mentre varca il confine austriaco, Tremonti dichiara la bancarotta dello Stato e il federalismo fiscale. Nel senso che ognuno si terrà per sé quello che gli è rimasto in tasca.
A dicembre lo psiconano decide di prolungare per qualche anno le sue vacanze e di farsi assistere dal super consulente Lucianone Gaucci per trattare il suo rientro in Italia ai domiciliari con i tribunali della Repubblica.
Buon 2009!

Onestamente MI SON ROTTO I COCO' DI TUTTA QUESTA E QUELLA GENTE.
Finiamola, svegliamoci, siamo liberi, abbiamo la storia, non possiamo essere più schiavi, succubi, con il complesso di inferiorità.
A fancuffia Grillo, Morfeo, rossi, neri, anglosassoni e americani più tutte le loro colonie ed ex colonie.
Non apriamo il 2009 con questa gente.........è salutare.
