UPDATED:Have I Lost My Ever-lovin' Mind?

Original post:
Decision 2010: America flips a coin.
Long time readers will recognize the paraphrase of The Simpsons' Kent Brockman in Treehouse of Horrors VII.
[uh, sure, sure they will -ed]
...The next morning, Marge and the kids watch a portable TV in the
kitchen.
 Kent: Kent Brockman here, with Campaign '96: America Flips A Coin. At
       an appearance this morning, Bill Clinton made some rather cryptic
       remarks, which aides attributed to an overly tight necktie.
Kodos: I am Clin-Ton. As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me
       and obey my brutal commands.  [crosses arms]  End communication.
Marge: Hmm, that's Slick Willie for you, always with the smooth talk.... 
We first referenced episode 4F02 in a 2007 post "The Simpsons on Biofuels, Politics and P.R. Spin"

The reason for this stroll down Memory Lane?
Google has changed the presentation of Google Images.

As I scrolled through the results for "Climateer Investing" I thought to myself "Either you're brilliant or you've completely lost it. And son, you ain't that smart"
So America, you decide. Or not.
Just remember, "Think a coin toss has a 50-50 chance? Think again."

(and if any of the images intrigue you, just click on them to see the context in which they were used)

Here's an example from April 14, 2010:

Climateer Market Commentary
Probably getting close to a top with this post.

Rainbows and Unicorns. Alrighty then.
The DJIA closed that day at 11,123. The market's most recent closing high was 7/10ths of a percent higher, 11,205 on April 26.

Idiot Savant?
Who you calling a savant?
