Introducing…Views From The Fuse An announcement from Addison: "OK, we admit, we try to have a good time…even in the face of uncertainty. "Last year, on our way back from the Agora Wealth Symposium in Vancouver we got stuck in a security line at the airport. At one point, hundreds of us were stuck in a little room, packed in like cattle waiting to be loaded train headed for market. "Naturally, we started mooing. We blame Greg Grillot and Bruce Robertson. They had been up rather late the evening before congratulating themselves for a successful conference. But it did seem like the appropriate political commentary on our situation. "Kate Incontrera, who writes the Daily Reckoning Weekend Edition, was an unwilling witness to the event. For some reason, she didn't think the mooing was funny. She asked us to stop. We didn't. "'Okay, people,' she announced to no one and everyone around us, 'New York Times best-selling author here…number one on Amazon right now…mooing.' Apparently she thought we could feel shame. She was wrong. We brayed a little louder. "At that point, Kate earned her future nickname. 'If you guys don't stop mooing right now, I'm going to quit!' Her cheeks flared red. "'Mooooo…' "'That's it! Seriously. I quit.' "After we got through the gate, we ran into several colleagues who had also joined us at the conference. They had passed through the line a half an hour before us. 'Boy, that was terrible, wasn't it?' "'Yeah,' we agreed. "'The mooing was pretty funny though.' "From that day forward, we began calling Kate 'Short Fuse'…because (granted, after several days of dealing with us) she lost it. Fuse didn't talk to us for several hours, but thankfully she didn't quit. "In fact, as a way of commemorating the event, we've decided to rename her column in the Weekend Edition: 'Views From The Fuse.'" [Ed note: We're in the process of finalizing this year's roster for the Vancouver event. The theme? Investing In The Age of Empire… it's going to be sizzling hot and no doubt our best event to date. Steve Forbes, Bill Bonner, Mark Skousen and a host of the industry's finest minds are going to be weighing in on the Empire and how to live well in the face of its decline… or debating whether it's in decline at all. You'll hear from all sides. And if you're up to it, you can do a little political prankstering of your own on the way out of the country. Hope you can join us… Investing In The Age Of Empire
