You figure out an acronym for SUPREME...or better yet, I'll check with ChatGPT! I'm sure that's what Trump and Hegseth are using for the battle plan! Cheers!
-
I like NACHO...what are the odds that a TACO acronym would fit perfectly with a NACHO acronym?! Only in the Taco Bell America! Cheers!

All looks pretty good Viking! I think you might be pretty close to nailing it on the head this quarter. Cheers!

You guys have a very screwed up idea of Obama's presidency. It's quite stunning how people view everything. As much as I dislike Trump, I'm trying to keep some perspective on the things he has gotten right and where he has forced necessary change. But this intellectual honesty seems to be lacking within so many on the right, and equally so from the left on how they perceive what is happening. Can't anyone admit when someone actually does something relatively right or manages to truly fuck up anymore? It's not that hard! Cheers!

That would make two of us! I added quite a bit to MKL today and will continue to add if it goes down further. This may be a once in a decade opportunity with MKL. Cheers!

Why do you lump all white people together? Obama never said ALL white people are racist...the man is half-white, his children 1/4 white. You're making so much shit up about Obama. Cheers!

Oh, that's a great price if the itinerary is anything similar to what we enjoyed! I highly recommend it...you will be very well taken care of and get to see a great deal of India in a short period of time. You will also make some terrific new Fairfax shareholder friends or get to enjoy some time with those you might already know. Even though it is a somewhat shorter trip (I believe like 11 days), it is jam-packed. We were up at 5:30-6am every morning...had breakfast by 7am and out the door on our bus/plane to enjoy the country. Usually a visit to a heritage site in the morning, a 5-star lunch at a very nice restaurant, a Fairfax company event in the afternoon, a few hours of free time, then the fantastic evening Fairfax dinner/event around 6pm at some amazing hotel or site. We would usually go to sleep around 10pm-12am, and then be up again the next morning at 5:30-6am. Cheers!

You are right! Rush would have preferred race relations to be like they were in the 1950's...Obama should have used the colored fountain, the colored washroom, and sat on the barstools in the colored section of the diner...not to mention sit at the back of the bus. I'm sure there are plenty of DC losers who still feel that way! Cheers!

The other side of the correspondent's dinner that was missed! Cheers! -
Yup, a wonderful drug addict who made fun of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease! Limbaugh was an asshole that the right lovingly embraced, just like MAGA did the same for the Donald. Two bullying bastards cut from the same cloth! The world is better off with mosquitoes and hemorrhoids! Cheers!

I went on the 2nd trip like 6 years ago...it was about $10K USD per person back then...I took my mother with me. She still raves about that trip! I would think it's at least 20-30% higher now...or more. At that price it was a bargain, since many of the parties, events were sponsored by Fairfax or Fairfax India companies. If you did that trip with an independent travel tour group, it would cost double! In fact, some of the things like dining at the Canadian embassy, tour of BIAL, etc...no independent tour group would be able to organize those. Cheers!

The information booth would have been at the Toronto AGM a couple of weeks ago. You usually sign up there to receive further information. There aren't a lot of spots each year, so I would suggest calling Fairfax's office and telling the receptionist you would like to possibly go on the Fairfax India Trip...can she provide you the contact information for the organizer for the trip. The number is (416) 367-4941. It's not cheap...it's probably one of the most luxurious/comprehensive itineraries you will ever go on, and it's jam-packed with activities, sights, sounds, events, etc. We had dinner at the Canadian embassy in Delhi with the Canadian ambassador, we had dinner at two different palaces, all of the hotels were 5-star, the tours were first-class, comfortable and very well-taken care of. We had our own private jumbo jet on one leg of the trip leaving a private army base airport, extensive tour of BIAL, a workshop/tour with the dabbawallas, and one fantastic lunch and dinner every day...not to mention breakfast, snacks, drinks, parties. One of the greatest trips I've ever taken! Vinodh took very good care of all of us...he was such a terrific person! Cheers!

I'm not sure why anyone is pitting Markel against Fairfax or vice versa. They are best of friends! Sure they compete in insurance, but Fairfax would not exist today without Markel. They also saved our ass (FFH) when we needed money 20 years ago. Markel is an exceptionally well-run insurance company...I've followed them and owned some shares for nearly 25 years...almost as long as I've held Fairfax and just shorter than Berkshire. The three of them are stalwart, long-term core holdings for any portfolio when bought at the right price. So Gayner made a mistake...big whoop! It has zero effect on Fairfax, Prem, the shareholders or our share value. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! Cheers!
-
Redskin's good! He worked for Fairfax at one point...he's been a shareholder for over 25 years...been to around 20 of those 25 meetings, and happily retired for the last 10 years on his Fairfax shares! He's not repeating anything Prem would frown upon...since he knows Prem as well! Cheers!

"I'm not a rapist or pedophile!" - Donald Trump...yesterday to Norah O'Donnell Cheers!

Kind of like the President cheered when Mueller died. Not only did he cheer, but he said he was happy he was dead! For every tit you put up, there is at least a dozen tats thrown against liberals/democrats et al. It's not an argument you are going to win, because the republican history on this, especially MAGA, is so fucking enormous. MTG alone is a walking shitshow of how horrible MAGA was before so many started eating their own! Cheers!
-
You mean like images of them as monkeys? Also Kimmel was referring to the age difference between Melania and Trump...he's not a mentalist and had no idea that there would be an assassination attempt. Also, shouldn't the mentalist have known what was about to happen at the dinner?! Cheers!

Talk about weaponizing the DOJ...what a fucking jack ass Trump and his team are! This type of prosecution is on par with the Iranian regime and their trumped up bullshit charges for looking at the Ayatollah the wrong way! Cheers! https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/28/politics/justice-department-indicts-ex-fbi-director-james-comey-again

The Planning Committee! Cheers!

I know it's a joke...but not appropriate! Cheers!

Depends on how it is used...what they invest in...duration...expected returns...fees...redemptions/withdrawals...tax sheltered or not...consequences of passing it on...etc. Alberta's went boom to bust...but Norway's is a juggernaut that has made each citizen far wealthier! Cheers!
-
Thinking of the same thing for my niece and nephew. Will also wait to see the structure. One of the few in the world that will allow citizens to invest in the wealth fund directly. Cheers!

Sorry, Sasha and Michelle's mother were in the building...Obama and Michelle were out of country. Cheers!
-
Just because he didn't get shot doesn't mean there weren't attempts. A guy fired multiple shots directly at the White House while Obama was in the building? So because Obama didn't get shot means that there was no threat or assassination attempt? Geez!
-
About as much nonsense as this post! What stats are you using? What criteria? What fact-checking have you done? Zero! Outrage without any sort of substance is just outrage...Trump's MO! Cheers!
