I could no longer tell my clients that their monies and positions were safe in the futures and options markets – because they are not.

Does this mean that she was previously telling her clients that futures and options were safe? Because these were risky investments even when the President was the color of a flesh-colored crayon.

Bless her cold, dark heart.

No doubt Obama gives her some sort of convulsive disorder. Like Wembley, also. Or Tim Tebow, too.

Without her firm, I’m sure the collapse of all future and commodity markets is imminent.

But that last video is really something special. She looked vaguely familiar, and while watching, I was fascinated by the item in her breast pocket. It appeared to be a talking flute. That’s when it hit me: she used to be this guy.

I know, I know, she appears to be a woman, but she did say she was the only person left in western civilization with brains and balls ‘simultaneously’. Whatever that means.

HR Pufnstuf/Witchiepoo 2012!

I’ve seen this lady somewhere before…

Oh yeah, a VAMPIRE movie.

I am confused. Does she think Lindsay Graham is a jackass? And what is the deal with crazy ladies and their eyebrows? I’m thinking of that angry/surprised lady who sits between Steve Doocy and Brownhaired-guy-who’s-not-Steve-Doocy. She has some crazy eyebrows as well.

But seriously, uh… huh? Do you need to hit yourself in the head really really hard to be able to follow this woman?

“Does this mean that she was previously telling her clients that futures and options were safe?”

Absolutely correct. Because she no longer understands how to play the dishonest game in the commodity and option markets. In the last 3 years they moved the crooked goal posts on Ann Barnhardt and they didn’t tell her where they moved them.

I wonder how safe she thought tech options were just before Nasdaq hit 5000? That was 12 years ago and makets don’t get any more unsafe (dishonest) than that.

Hmm she is right although hard to believe she is just figuring this out. As for her thing on O, yes he with congress is very much part of the problem. did not look at her videos or other stories, but on this one she is correct.

…tell my clients that their monies and positions were safe in the futures and options markets

I work for a brokerage firm. If any of our reps were to imply, much less actually say, that their clients’ money was safe anywhere, they would be fired faster than a Republican could lie. And safe in the friggin futures and options markets?! Of all the places to park your money, those are among the least safe.

Honestly, I expect the reason she is going on the lamb is because FINRA caught wind of her promises.

This woman is auditioning for the reboot of, Helga: She-wolf of the Nazis!

Amusing.

This is another of the self-servatives who hates regulation and believes the Free Market is God.* Until it’s their money getting lifted. Then they go all William-O.-Douglas-at-the-spanking-new-SEC putting brokers in the hoosegow.

It’s a corollary of the old “A conservative is a liberal who was mugged.” and “A liberal is a conservative who was arrested.”

But it’s none the less fun to watch.

* This is also an example of the Free Market Regulating Itself. What the self-servatives who love to repeat that tripe always seem to omit (and forget until it’s their money getting lifted) is that, indeed, it will. That regulation is by laws. And when there is no government regulation, then The Market will obey the Law of the Jungle.

Tough shit, bitch.

…fired faster than a Republican could lie.

Is this related to that whole CERN ‘neutrinos can go faster than the speed of light’ thingy?

Yeah, this sounds like one of those blind squirrel things. She’s right that the economy’s incredibly risky to invest in right now, but her explanation for the causes is so dumb that I wouldn’t trust her to invest a dime of my money (if I had any spare dimes to invest) myself.

OTOH, this whole post sort of reads like a back-handed defense by TBogg of Jon Corzine (and by extension, Obama) against criticism by #OWS. “Sounds like someone should be beating a drum at #OWS…. ” True. Looked in a mirror lately, TBogg?

Fuck, I think I’m in love, fuck man what a bitch. Sign me up.

Everything changed just a few short weeks ago.

Uh, whazzat?? A “few short weeks ago”?? Huh? Guess we know WHO *benefited* by the 2008 crash, then – eh? But somehow get left out ripping off the serfs more recently?? So pissed as sh*t that she didn’t get hers, so she’ll victimize herself all over the place. Typical TeaTard.

A firm, led by a crony of the Obama regime, stole all of the non-margined cash held by customers of his firm. … Jon Corzine STOLE the customer cash at MF Global. Knowing Jon Corzine, and knowing the abject lawlessness and contempt for humanity of the Marxist Obama regime and its cronies, this is not really a surprise.

Well, I can possibly go along with most of this, except this dipsh*t then calls Obama a “Marxist.” WTF does “Maxism” have to do with any of this??

Yeah, yeah, I know: if some TeaTarded being wishes to actually, you know, step up to the plate and *call out* Wall St for it’s egregious, greedy, avaricious venality, why then, by definition, said TeaTard must call Wall St and Obama a – GASP SHRIEK – Marxist. Shriek wail moan… as if ONLY leftwing scum would do such criminal actions, whilst their alleged “conservative” cronies are pure as driven snow or something.

What an abject excuse for a carbon-based life-form.

More like Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS.

BTW, did you know that that in the German-dubbed Hogan’s Heros episodes, Klink is always talking about his maid who works in the nude?

Just thought I’d throw it out there, this being a Friday and all

Thank you. Tbogg. i really didn’t think any of this shit could make me laugh anymore, but this did.

As fucked in the head as she is concerning the Marxist ideology of Obama and Corzine, she is right about one thing – The financial system as we know it is one vast Ponzi scheme.

And obviously it goes without saying that she cashed out before dropping out.

I laughed all the way through.

If you read that as a “back-handed defense” of Corzine, your computer may have been reset to Rorschach. Please reboot.

Extra amusing: All the “posted by” dates on her website include “AD.” (First link up there.)

And did she return any of her customers’ money when she closed up shop?

Steve M. found some lovely stuff that should be perused:

So why did I bookmark my koran with bacon? Because it was WITTY. Because it pointed up the absurdity of the West’s groveling before musloid superstitions – specifically the U.S. Military’s rules and protocol for handling korans, namely handling with the right hand only, and preferably with the hand or hands gloved. Yeah, because the people who actually use toilet paper and DON’T wipe their butts with their bare left hands are the ones with the “dirty hands”. You betcha, General Petraeus. Question: Why don’t we issue the gloves that our military are supposed to wear when handling Korans to the musloids themselves, and then they can use the gloves to wipe their butts, and then won’t have to go through life with feces-encrusted metacarpi? Is it just me, or does that not make a LOT more sense? I was going to crack wise at this point about “exiting the Stone Age”, but you know, I don’t think Stone Age peoples wiped their sphincters with their bare hands. I think they used vegetation. Heck, even dogs know to work the “drag”.

Daaaamn! You mean Obama’s wrecking Wall Street and the IMF???

If you’re reading this; a thousand pardons, Mr. Preznint. All along I had you pegged as their ass-kissing lackey. Thank Jaysus that Barnhardt has straightened all that out.

I used to think this stuff was comical, not like Richard Pryor, but pretty funny anyway. But this woman frightens me. She got a well thought out script (she’s crazy not stupid) and is clearly well rehearsed; she probably actually believes some of this shit, and she’s talking about Lindsey Graham who is (proverbially) a little to right of the Attila the Hun. I’m gonna get out my John Birch doll and put him on my bed tonight, for protection.

unreported quotation…neener, neener too also

faster than a Republican can lie…that ain’t hardly possible

It’s all just fucking mad-hatter crazy. Whatever republican ethic Obama is protecting, they accuse him of destroying it.

Thusly: When he hired William Daley, he was sabotaging all the hardworking marketeers at Morgan-Chase…

When he utterly caved to the Health Insurance Robber Barons, with no public option while mandating 30 million new customers for them, on pain of being fined, he was REALLY fucking over the protectors and saviours of our precious bodily fluids.

As any fool knows, helping the republicans sustain the bushCo fatcat taxcuts was just an underhanded way to turn us into a Marxist state. (if you ask HOW, then your ass is headed for the new Lubyanka.)

Letting BP assrape the Gulf of Mexico? Same thing; that was all a shuck so that NOAA and the Coast Guard could flex their socialist bureaucratic
muscles by holding Heckle-and-Jeckyll pressers to reassure everyone that it’s all just a little engineering glitch…which can be compensated for by, twice a week, going to the nearest seafood restaurant and ordering the Lubester Special.

And so on…

That’s no lady; that’s Mike Hunt.

So speaketh the Queen of All Dipshittery. Her coat-of-arms features two flying loons, bend, on a field of brown festooned with goose-berries.

Interesting that she mocks the “U.S. Military’s rules and protocol” and Gen. Betrayus, considering that, in an email exchange, “she began making specific calls for a violent military coup of our government, to be led by retired military generals whom she named.” I guess Betrayus wasn’t one of the generals. A serious, sober consideration of the merits of said military coup, due to the fact that Obama Muslim Kenya, can be found in the comments section here.

Yikes…could only watch a few minutes of that video clip before being scared away. If “Crazy Jesus Lady” wasn’t alredy taken by Peggy Noonan, I’d give it to Ann, hands down.

They ain’t risky if ya bet short on them . . ;-)

Hmmmm, I wonder if the feds checking into firms like MoFo Global, er, sorry, MF Global, may have had something to do with Ann shutting down her Barnhardt Capital Management operation…at…the…same…time. IOW, was Ann pulling a Bernie Madoff on her clients? Was she playing loose with her clients’ investment money? Did she shut down Barnhardt Capital Management in hopes that the feds won’t check her books too closely?

Sheesh, quoted idiot person who is not MBouffant! The Ayatollah himself said you wipe with a stick or a bone, not the fingers. Some people are just so anxious to believe the worst of anybody who’s not a dumbass WASP in a mobility scooter.

look into her eyes. the crazy always shows in the eyes. bachman has it too. they all do.

The Snark is strong within you Tan. ;-)

Oh yes, I’d heard about the German version of “Hogan’s Heroes.” All Nazi references are effaced, “Heil Hitler” is replaced by a variety of nonsense phrases, and of course the references to the never-seen cleaning woman. (Cleaning Woman! Rigby Reardon is going nuts right now!!) After having searched unsuccessfully in the past, I actually found some examples on YouTube, but there aren’t subtitles.

Yeah, and what kills me is there seems to more and more of them every day . . . or maybe that’s the glory of our technology developments, they come to light more and more.

We all know these slimy creatures can’t stand the light, they melt.

Heck of a diary TBogg, this gal is fuckin loonz beyond the boundary BatShit Crazed Bachmann or The Griftah set . . .

I remain, delighted you read this shit, so I don’t have to.

I need a cigarette.

Ms. Barnhardt was introduced to Rumproast by StrangeAppar8us about a year ago, apparently as some kind of stress test for readers’ psyches (Sleep Tight, ‘Roasters). There have been several follow-up posts; along with the aforementioned one, I loved the post and comments for Ann Barnhardt Will Never Be Willard Romney’s Inflatable Elitist Healthcare Passion-Toy.

Stick around and get well, Strange. Remember your plan involving Ann (in comments to the second post) – to make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of humanity:

@Patrick McKinnion:

I know I’m asking for a human sacrifice. But I’m thinking there must be one among us who can pretend to be sufficiently wingnutty and willing to have his head severed before she lays her eggs in his chest to distract her long enough for the Oxygen Destroyer to be deployed.
…

So we need stupid, horny, and has a deathwish then.

I’m thinking drunk, broke and not giving a shit would do. In fact, I’m willing to volunteer.

Who is Ann Galt? (I coped that from another blog)

aha

the women is blaming the sorry shape of the economy on obama

oh

wait

so do I and so do PLENTY of progressives

ya, obama inherited this sorry state of the economy…then he doubled down on the very policies that caused it, he gave even MORE money to the banksters who stoke the money from us in the first place, he RENEWED the REDICULOUS redistribution of middle class assets into the pockets of the weathy, marketed that scheme as “the bush tax cuts” when in fact, the bush tax cuts EXPIRED and THESE “cuts” are OBAMA’S

EVERY “economic plan” this guys proposes is top down in the OBSURD “trickle down” economic plan of ruin, instead of the bottom up strategies we KNOW work

he insured the health industry would take even more advantage by bargaining away the public option and drug price competition BEFORE these issues were even brought to debate AND he “bargained” them away even though they enjoyed MAJORITY approval AND this “bargain” got nothing in return.

he fires people in the public sector in a time when we need MORE jobs not less

he LOWERS revenue in a time he claims there is a deficit problem

he CAUSES the deficit problem and then blames others for the deficit problem

he LOBBIES to INCREASE retirement age when there are qualified peope who can’t find jobs

he signs free trade bills when our labor force can’t keep a decent wage

and the list goes on…and on…and on

you tbogg can decide to blame bush and that is correct, but there is not ONLY one culprit here, the other one is running the second term of bush and he is equally if not MORE then equally responsible

and oh

no, obama will NOT get a progressive in the scotus, nor a centrist…this is assured so you can make believe that is the reason we need him in office for a 4th bush term, believe that all you want

I can’t wait to hold court for obama bots, I am going to bed…think cognitive dissonance those of you who do not blame obama for this economy, cause that’s what you have

g’night

Now, every time someone tells me that wingnuts can be negotiated with or can be reasoned with, I’m going to show this video.

You cannot negotiate with crazy. And she be crazy.

Now, every time someone tells me that firebagggers can be negotiated with or can be reasoned with, I’m going to show this post. You cannot negotiate… wait, didn’t I just post this?

Hier können Sie hören, ein Hollywood-Star nicht genannt Herr Schwarztnegger Deutsch zu sprechen.

“Here, you can hear a Hollywood Star not named Mr. Schwarztnegger speak German.”

Unfortunately…

Jon Corzine DID do all those things… including being former Democratic Senator… a former Democratiac governor of New Jersy… and one of Obama’s largest campaign contributor.

Jon Corzine is every bit as slimey and corrupt as this woman.

You mean like this guy? Or this guy? Or this guy?

As for the subject of this video: Funny, I happen to know of a very liberal person whose parents reared her properly and who now runs the world’s largest woman-founded-and-run hedge fund, and she’s not going Galt at all.

I suspect that Gregory Gadow is correct in his supposition that Ms. Galt is about to be in deep doo-doo with these people, and is using the Galt gambit as a cover for her search for a nice tropical place with first-world living standards and no extradition treaties with the US.

Anybody that would write that woman a check deserves to go broke. WACK A DOODLE!

I’m just gonna throw this out here, though it’s somewhat OT, but..

If anybody’s heard of Lululemon, a high-end shop that sells yoga wear and equipment, you might be shocked to hear of its latest marketing ploy: It is giving buyers their purchases in free (!) shopping bags marked with (ready, now?) “Who is John Galt?”

Way to push your political philosophy on unsuspecting customers, Lululemon!
When questioned, the owner-founder of the company gave a teensy bit of Any Rand’s political philosphy which he says drives him to continually strive for excellence.
Oh, and as you might have guessed, he developed this philosophy after Reading “Atlas Shrugged” at the age of…eighteen.

The Lululemon blog post is disingenuous in the extreme, and the commments following it will be no surprise to TBogg fans.
Sigh.

I have no tough decision to make as the stuff is way too overpriced for me; I wear Target or TJMaxx knit pants to my yoga class.
But it’s depressing to find Rand and that accursed book invading simple, arms-length apparently non-ideological commercial exchanges.
Here’s the link fo ryour entertainment: http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/who-is-john-galt/

Now that the wealth transfer is essentially complete to top 10%….does the game begin anew within the 10%? Kind of my sense to me…it is a Zero sum game, afterall. Sounds like Ann is one of the early casualties in Phase2. Given her rather bizarre analysis as to the root cause of her problems, I guess it’s not particularly surprising.

Yes Certainly!! Now that a Democrat is involved accountability must be upheld!!

So why did I bookmark my koran with bacon? Because it was WITTY.

Witty? WITTY?!!!!! So Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde … pikers in the “witty” department, I guess, huh? They sure never came up with anything as “witty” as that.

Or shorter me: Jesus H. Fucking Christ on a popsicle stick, what is wrong with these people?

Hey, wait a minute. Just to address your opening remark in this article, Christmas is coming, and JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. But there again, maybe Christmas is not about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ for everyone. At least we know that it was the Holy Ghost that moved on Mary’s womb so that Jesus could be conceived and born in Bethlehem.
If the lady in your article is a birther then I guess it’s because a lot of people are not convinced by the birth certificate he was talking about on Oprah. You think she’s nuts? Oprah has her own church with five million members already, perhaps you like her church, she’s not a Jesus fan either. Takes all sorts.

Laughing at the clown show is all that’s left. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for TBogg.

I’m for accountability of ALL corrupt Democrats and corrupt Republicans… which of course is all of them.

Damn, I’m getting a visual of this woman and Michelle Malkin getting together for a hatefest, and by gawd it ain’t pretty. More spittle and invective than an Eagles/Cowboys game.

As to “safe trades”? In commodities markets or for that matter any other Wall Street related market? That’s like a “safe” Indy car race, or “sane” Glenn Beck believer. Like there’s any truly safe financial institutions any more…I’m almost to the point of becoming like Glenn Beck on this one point, if I had any available funds I’d buy gold coins and bury them in the back yard. At least they wouldn’t be stolen by politically connected looters.

Thank FSM I don’t have to spend Thanksgiving with her.

I just realized who this women reminds me of…Jean Schmidt’s younger sister.

Looks like someone forgot to take their meds….C’mon now, you know the judge said you have to take them everyday…
I’ll say this much, at least our crazies are better types of crazies than theirs.

You know I’m one of your biggest fans, and not in the creepy, stalker-ish, Kathy Bates-in-Misery kind of way; rather, in the “holy shit, she’s got more wit in her pinky than I have in my whole body” kind of way. But Firedoglake is where one goes if they want to read stuff by this guy (meaning perris; yeah, I don’t know how to do that linky thing you do). And I’m sorry but that is crazy stuff that cannot be negotiated with. Not nearly as crazy as the harpy from hell that is Ann Barnhardt (I love the jar) but what we have here is a ‘progressive’ voter who says a vote for Obama is a vote for four more years of Bush. And that’s nuts.

Well, FDL has lots and lots of other commenters besides perris, which is why I linked to the ones I linked to (using the linky symbol that’s in the blue menu bar on your comments box, next to the quotation marks symbol — yes, TBogg readers use it too!). Those particular ones sound as if they would meet your standards for “people I can reason with” unless of course your standard is really “people who must agree with me on all things”.
