    The plebes are falling for it... commodity bubble is growing. Faster than you can say "executive order 6102" your shiny metals will be reduced to toxic waste. (or something like that)

    Invest in toilet paper and freeze dried coffee.

    You can't collect insurance on a suicide, the insurance companies won't pay out and if they even suspect it, you'll be in court trying to get the policy money.

    Sorry to ruin your plan. Instead of killing ourselves, maybe we should just rob some other countries? ;)

    @freedc: Not that I'm recommending this as a life plan, but some life-insurance policies do allow recovery even if cases of suicide but that coverage usually doesn't kick in for a term of a number of years (usually two) after purchase of the policy.

    I just hope Fluffy in the picture consulted with his lawyers before assuming his benefits are vested in the case of suicide.

    @Atilla the Bun: Interesting. But bad public policy, no? And probably a lot more murders made to look like suicides if you can get the $.

    I know you were just kidding around, but a nice servicey gentle reminder would be to note that no more than 25 percent of your investments ought to be in metals. As for the rest of the advice on this page, it sounds perfectly sensible. Especially the part about the seven hundred billion dollar life policy. That was the best part.

    @livinlvis: I Rozelle meant to invest 250% in metals. Just listen to "FreeMoney from the Government" in one ear, "Cash4Gold" in the other, and reap the rich rewards.

    @Rozelle’s Bagman: arithmetic was never my strong suit, obviously, but 250 percent sounds about right, especially if you are using OPM! Other people's works great.

    Or, I don't know, legalize pot. The taxes collected on it could get us out of debt without touching anyone's income, not to mention the boost to the economy.

    I had an aunt who worked for Reader's Digest when I was a kid and she said it was a great place to work. I only remember a lot (a whole lot) of shark stories or shpwrecked at night stories...that kind of thing.

    i never thought much about reader's digest always being in my grandparents' house until i went back as an adult and read it -- really fringe rightwing lunacy in between the "clever" anecdotes

    So do the layoffs at CN mean that they're going to unload a couple of dozen of those VF "Contributing Editors" who get paid a handsome sum each month so their name can appear in that clusterfuck on the masthead but never ever write?

    @Swordfish: All of the magazines have been getting rid of contributing editors for the past year--just not renewing contracts. In some cases they leave the people on the masthead for various reasons.

    The metaphor is perfection -- the Paterson, N.J. bull escaped from the slaughterhouse. The Wall Street bull won't be so fortunate.
