Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Friday, December 09, 2011LA Times: Angels, Fox to sign 20-year, $3 billion deal
The timing of this with the Pujols signing is curious. I wonder if Arte prodded Fox into upping the rights fees once he had Pujols in the fold. This would be much cooler if Fox was paying for an investment in the team, than Arte taking his windfall and turning around and spending it. Harold can be a fun sponge

1. The District Attorney Posted: December 09, 2011 at 10:30 PM (#4011921)Sweet deal!!!
Man, BTF is hyper-inflation crazy today.
Snapper, what am I supposed to do with my savings?
Spend it. Then after the hyper-inflation, you can sell the stuff you bought a little at a time and live off of it.
Some say switch to gold, but I say invest in spam, handguns and ammo.
Aren't you supposed to get drunk and spend even more?
Well, actually hyper-inflation would reduce the real amount they owed Pujols, but would also make their tv contract worthless.
Man, BTF is hyper-inflation crazy today.
Snapper, what am I supposed to do with my savings?
That was a joke, based on the other appearances of hyper-inflation talk.
I do expect some decent inflation in the US though. I'd guess it starts within 2-3 years, and then we average 5-7% for a decade. It's the only rational response by the gov't to our debt problems.
If you fear inflation the best investments are 1) a home or commercial real estate financed with fixed rate mortgages - in case of inflation rents rise while the debt payments stay the same 2) blue chip common stock - strong companies should be able to raise their prices with inflation.
I'd avoid any fixed rate bonds with maturity >5 years like a plague. I'd rather earn 0.75% in the bank than 2-4% on a bond where I could take a price hit of 20%+ if yields spike.
Screw handguns, in a real fight a handgun is about as useless as the spam. It takes a hell of a shot to hit someone more than 10 feet away in a combat situation.
You need rifles. Preferably .30 calibre, semi-auto, with a min. of a 20-rd magazine.
An M-1A1 or FN FAL if you're serious. If you're budget constrained, there are 20 different AK varieties.
For rural and suburban areas yes. For urban environments, without many open spaces, you want a semi-automatic shotgun.
Also, you want landmines.
The ending of "Reamde" is probably a good start as a how-to guide.
Hydrogen peroxide and nail polish remover. Ammonia, formaldahyde, sulfuric acid and sodium nitrate.
The Fox/Dodgers deal was 17/3bn less what Jamie and Frank would have siphoned off for their private issues. The reason it was rejected had less to do with the total dollar amount, and more with how much off that would have actually gone towards the Dodgers.
