The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Boomerang Author Michael Lewis About Global Big Banks Disaster
The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Interviews Boomerang Author Michael Lewis About Global Big Banks Disaster: From Denny: This author decided to go on a walkabout. Actually, Michael Lewis went on a financial disaster tour of several European countries: Iceland, Ireland, Greece and Germany.
He wanted to view the global financial disaster through the prism of each culture and what a view he got. (He is also the author of Moneyball that was recently made into a movie.)
In Iceland he discovered that up until seven years ago the only way to make money in Iceland was fishing. But, seven years ago," the men literally walked off the fishing boats and walked into the banks deciding to become currency traders in a matter of days."

The Social Poets: Occupy Wall Street Protests: Where To Find In Your State
The Social Poets: Occupy Wall Street Protests: Where To Find In Your State: From Denny: The Occupy Wall Street protests are growing so fast that it is tripling every three days.
The mainstream media complains it is too difficult to cover the protests. That sure sounds like their Big Business handlers and Wall Street are trying to sideline the protesters.
Well, not so fast Big Boys. The following is America's list by the states and territory of OWS protest events, dates and timeline updates.

Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Video: The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger

Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Video: The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger:
From Denny: Over 19 million people laughed off their chairs at the narration of this honey badger video. This is one fierce animal, so fierce it attacks cobra snakes head on and bites off their heads. Unbelievable.
Who needs the pesticide Snake Away when you can adopt a honey badger? Just keep your dogs and cats inside when this beast prowls the neighborhood.
What's more funny is how here in Louisiana one of our LSU Tigers got tagged with the name Honey Badger It Takes What It Wants: Tyrann Mathieu. They used to call him T-Rex for his prowess on the field even though he is small by football standards.
Like LSU Coach Les Miles says, "Never judge a person by their size but by the fight in them." Mathieu has been known to out jump those a good foot taller than him to catch the ball. Unbelievable. Yep, the Honey Badger rules on the LSU football field.

Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Street Sign Photos
Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Street Sign Photos:
From Denny: Check out these hilarious - and sometimes socially inappropriate street signs. You really wonder who creates these signs - a bunch of bored state employees intent upon wreaking havoc upon the unsuspecting public? Can they be aspiring comics, wishing to quit their day job? You decide. :)

Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: Funny Video: Comic Mocks Russians and Cops Gone Wild
Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: Funny Video: Comic Mocks Russians and Cops Gone Wild:
From Denny: Can this crazy video get any wilder or weirder? Over 6 million on YouTube laughed. It's the comics fast-paced commentary on the various videos he finds, starting off with one of a pack of Russians practicing martial arts and screwing up royally.
One Russian decides to warm up by an open fire and catches fire. Then the comic slows down the video to show you the crass surprise of how it happened. A total fail that is not to be missed. Who needs fiction when real life is a lot funnier?
