Welcome to another rousing edition of Friday – Saturday, this week only-Financial Follies, a full folio of fascinating facts and favorites for your reading pleasure/pain!

Lets get started!
This Weeks Financial and Health News, News too cool to miss!
What a deal!
In Russia when you buy 15 bucks worth of firewood, you might get a stash of automatic Kalashnikovs as a bonus…. Kinda like Storage Wars meets the Antiques Roadshow.
Probably not a Kalishnikov Rifle!
Gambling Jones on Steroids
Cock fighter owner killed by his fighting rooster. Rooster is on the run from law enforcement…We don’t have to make ‘em up here. (I chose to ignore my baser instincts to go crazy with “C–k” jokes…. )
Say it ain’t so!
It’s one thing to develop nuclear weapons, but to remove Barbie dolls from Iranian shelves...That’s un-American, Outrageous-oh yea it’s Iran, never mind…
Cocaine Cowboy?
FARC rebels in Columbia selling cattle as cocaine business income falls. I have cows for sale, hmmm maybe I missed something…
Costly Cough!
Pneumonia costs fellow 44 million. Nahh, just a mistake…
USA Not too Neighborly
Canada is not too happy about President Obama’s decision on the Keystone Pipeline, and I don’t blame them.
How is this for “Helping”
Cholera in Haiti-spread from UN peacekeepers? The scientists aren’t sure.
One shot, cool!
A universal flu vaccine….It is in the works, and would be a lifesaver!
Enough already.

Thanks for the shout-out, Doc.
No problem Donna, just keep writin good stuff!
Considering the news was calling our recent storm “snowpocalypse”, I wish we could have gotten Kalishnikovs with our firewood (do you think 7-11 would carry those?). After, one can never be too prepared for the zombies/vampires/living dead that we all know will be present at the apocalypse.
No doubt, be prepared for all evil, living or dead….
Thanks for the mention Dr. Dean!
No problem.
