I have known about FDL for a couple years. I read several of them, it is both addicting and time consuming. One thing that I really like about the blogs is the things I learn. In some areas, I don’t know more than I know.

In another way,these are kind of like an extended family, especially this one. “Bring the coffee…” I think that is one of the things that has hurt this country, is the loss of the extended family, the way it was in the ’50s. Plus a whole lot of other things too.

I don’t know this, but I thought that FDL was a MN blog. Maybe there are a lot of MN people on here. When the bridge went down, there were a lot of posts that sounded like they were from Mpls.

cynic – hmmmm…. I’ll have to remember that idea!

Duston is being paid $25K by Collins … we have the FEC filing.

Quarterly, or annually? And does this guy work for others?

Perhaps Collins thinks that Women should simply vote for her because she has the appropriate genitalia and cleavage ?

Maybe her view is that “Women’s rights” stops at the point when they criticize HER? Don’t DARE THINK! Don’t DARE “petition” one’s REPRESENTATIVES!

I suspect Suzie is in DEEP DOO-DOO (oh, there we go with the potty-mouth, sorry) in her internal polling. She sees her numbers in women voters going down toward those of Cheney and Bush…and has unwisely chosen this route to attempt to bolster them.

Maybe if she was a bit more concerned with her own positions regarding Iraq and our Constitutional Rights, than some “unimportant” blog…frequented by some sliver of Mainers.

How strange that she and her staff even bothered…unless the reality was far different!

Feel free to vote in their unscientific virtual “poll,” folks.

Thanks again!

Jane’s always been defiantly in-your-face, and happily sent people packing because she wasn’t going to allow the “word police” to tell her how people could “talk” – which is her right as the blog owner – but if this isn’t the biggest case of the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what would be.

You reap what you sow – get over yourselves.

And thanks for the chuckle.

Yeah … kind of like telling another woman blogger, “I change my oil, but …”

…
just what are those 71 billion bucks going to? doesn’t that seem like an awful lot of money?
…

I have the same concerns. Why is all this liquidity suddenly needed? …

Something like 60 mortgage companies have gone bankrupt in the last few years and recently Countrywide (country’s largest mortgage firm), American Home Mortgages (IIRC) and Washington Mutual (I think) announced big problems. They’re all stuck with underperforming mortgages.

A LOT of people have lost their homes, but the MSM has somehow failed to make that point to the public.

I guess it was the Iraq Occupation which got all the attention.

completely OT – by my calculation, the Fed has pumped 71 billion dollars into the market in the last 7 days….

no financial whiz here…

It is a lot because the problem is big. They’re loaning it short-term I guess to let businesses handle a liquidity problem.

The big question is whether they can get their natural cash flow back or somehow spread out their debt payments so they don’t go belly-up. If they can’t get their house in order, then they’ve got big problems.

Liquidity problems can be either temporary or permanent — we’ll know soon which they’re facing.

She’s a dirty fuckin fem sen!!

Now now, let’s be civil.

Besides, we save that kind of foul-mouthed rhetoric for our friends. Heh.
