$200 million spec house. Who will buy it? Not me.

All my rich friends think Ted Cruz is a whiz. His kickoff speech was heavy on ideas and light on specifics. You can read it here.

Greece has two weeks’ worth of cash. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Greece will run out of cash on April 8 at its current burn rate. Interesting talking about a burn rate for a country. The debt-ridden country must present a new list of reforms to its creditors before receiving its next cash infusion from Germany, etc. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was in Berlin on Monday for talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Contention: She wants austerity reforms. He doesn’t. He’s right. More austerity would hurt Greece. But Merkel is big into German discipline!

In Los Angeles’s Bel Air neighborhood, developer Mohamed Hadid is building a 30,000-square-foot spec home that he says, when completed, will have an asking price close to $200 million. It contains the largest residential IMAX theater. You read correctly: this is a spec house.

I bought a little SPWR and OCR today. SPWR benefits by the boom in solar. OCR is a pharmacy benefits company.

Half the world thinks the stockmarket is overpriced. The other half doesn’t.

Me? I go with the 100% who can’t predict where it will go. For now, I’m happy.

Why we miss Rodney Dangerfield

+ My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. She uses me to time an egg.

+ A girl phoned me and said, ‘Come on over. There’s nobody home.’
I went over. Nobody was home!

+ A hooker once told me she had a headache.

+ I’m so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

+ My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray after the meal.

+ My wife likes to talk to me during sex; last night she called me from a hotel.

+ It’s been a rough day. I got up this morning and put a shirt on and a button fell off.
I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
Now, I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.

+ I’m so ugly my father carried around a picture of the kid that came with his wallet.

+ Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman, and asked him to help me find my parents.
I said to him, “Do you think we’ll ever find them?”
He said, “I don’t know kid. There’s so many places they can hide.”

+ My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump next Tuesday.

+ I’m so ugly, I once worked in a pet shop, and people kept asking how big I’d get.

+ I went to see my doctor.
“Doctor, every morning when I get up and I look in the mirror I feel like throwing up.
What’s wrong with me?” He said: “Nothing, your eyesight is perfect.”

    Was not Cruz architect of the 2013 $24 billion shutdown?
    Interesting resume item for a candidate.

      At least the guy stands on principals and therefore has them – unlike the rest of the cesspool in DC

      • bruuno says:

        Does he stand on the assistant principal when the principal is out?
        Oh, principles.. Since you admire him then we can pass the $24B tab on to his supporters since the rest of us did not sign on to his principled recklessness.

          In case you haven’t noticed, the federal govt shuts down every Friday at about 3:00pm – not a big deal….

          PS: My kids don’t appreciate Obama’s $6-7 trillion debt tab being passed to them…just sayin

    • goober says:

      Totally made up figures…..the Dems did all they could to make the Govt shutdown hard on the American people…..barricading National Parks, National Forest, and in many cases barricading places they were not allowed to barricade because they were not owned by the Feds. Then they put a dollar figure for that work which was done by federal workers who were going to get paid anyway and try and blame it on someone else.
