Man Who Got Got It Right Is Right And Wrong Say People Who Got It Wrong

The Irish Times asked a number of ‘leading’ economists (none of whom ‘called’ the housing bubble) about Morgan Kelly and his Eiregeddon predictions.

You can almost smell the repressed-jealousy-masquerading-as-thoughtful-criticism.

Will Smith’s Trailer For Men In Black III

Will Smith, currently filming Men In Black III in New York’s SoHo has parked his custom-built trailer on the street, to the chagrin of locals.

The specially designed ride, nicknamed “The Heat,” includes a lounge, a movie room with a 100-inch screen, marble floors throughout, offices for his assistants and writing staff, a large bedroom and all-granite bathroom. It measures about 53 feet long, has 22 wheels and weighs in at around 30 tons.

“It looks bigger than my apartment!” said Brigette Moreno, 22, who lives above where the trailer was docked yesterday.

“The smell that comes along with it is disgusting. It’s like living in a gas station. I really like Will Smith, but I would be embarrassed if that was my trailer. A little modesty goes a long way.”

Adding insult to injury, Smith is renting a five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom apartment for $25,000 a month less than a mile away.

Sadly, Will is unable to hear the complaints of locals over the sound of $20,000,000 and 20% of the gross.

Dublin’s Al Qaeda Arrest: Not An Enormous Surprise

Known as “Terry Taliban” Dubliner Khalid Kelly, formerly Terry Kelly, was arrested last night following an Irish Sunday Mirror interview last week where he said: “Personally I would feel happy if Obama was killed. How could I not feel happy when a big enemy of Islam is gone?” He can be held for up to three days before being charged or released.

Kelly is Ireland’s most outspoken supporter of al Qaeda (as the clip from ‘Holy War’ above demonstrates) and even named his son after its slain founder, Osama bin Laden.

He told the Irish Sunday Mirror he “expected” President Obama to be killed in Ireland “because the country’s police force is poorly armed”. He added that he would kill the president himself but he was “too well known to police here”.

And he’ s getting Sky Plus installed on the Saturday AND his sister’s kids are coming over all day Sunday. It’s just mad busy. Any other weekend. Seriously.
