Teddy! I heart Rachel!!!

Love Rachel! She is brilliant, and so fun to watch and learn from…

We just lost Air America here in San Diego. `~(

Well, I meant to say, ME TOO. I heart her too.

Why did Trex leave?

Any and all questions about TRex should be referred to him. I do not have the answers you are looking for.

omigod Teddy! I just watched the video.

Thank you for bring us another late nite treat!

Christine Edmonson @ 10

Well, I meant to say, ME TOO. I heart her too.

And she’s a diehard BoSox fan, what’s not to love about her… 8-)

Oh, how Rachel rocks. The Air America station in LA moved her from 7-9pm to late nite to bring in a local guy who has a mostly non-political show. It’s such a bummer not to hear her any more. She’s extremely sharp

I read it. You and I now have the same info.

shit! i owe y’all and Jane an apology. If I’d seen that TRex actually said he was leaving, I would not have posted that here. I thought it was a second site, like PW has.

It was not my place to announce it, but I ran across it in my news-ninjaing. My heartfelt apologies also to Teddy. I did NOT and DO NOT intend to hijack the thread.

So please let’s talk instead about Rachel Maddow or the repub candidates.

Rachel Maddow makes me laugh out loud!

OK, pups – school night, I’m off to dreamland… have a good week…

i heard rachel interview tom brokaw last week, toward the end of the interview, in which rachel showed the essence of decorum, tom sincerely said the best of bloggers are the essence of democracy

Betsy, So don’t you just love her freshness?

Rachal just needs to get different glasses. Those don’t do her face justice.

Suz, I left you a possible Christmas swimsuit at the end of the last post. It’s not for diving, however.

I like the way she explains things, and how she is human and shares part of her life, but also really does tell a lot of information. I listen to a TON of liberal radio, but I get most of my news from her. I like a lot of her interviews but not always her interview style.

That’s true, I forgot about streaming thru iTunes, which is also good. But you can download commercial free podcasts too. Search podcasts for Rachel Maddow.

December 10th we’ll hear specifics on Irak (spelled Teddy’s way), the environment, and education from Hillary.

During the Los Angeles debate, hundreds of people from all over the state will invite their friends, family members, and neighbors over to watch Hillary lay out her platform on Iraq, education and the environment.

If you purchase satellite radio is Air America commercial free?

EPU’ed from last thread:

Something that was said in the comments about the effects of foreclosure needs to be clarified.

In California, Section 580b of the Code of Civil Procedure makes purchase money loans secured by 1-4 unit residential properties non-recourse as a matter of law. The lender can grab the property, but it can’t go after the borrower for the deficiency if the sale proceeds are less than the outstanding balance plus the expenses of sale.

Note that “purchase money” definitely doesn’t apply to HELOCs, and may not apply to refis if the amount of the refi is greater than the outstanding balance of the original purchase money note.

In general, XM content that it originates is commercial free. Content that they get from other providers will have the same breaks as it has on the original feed, but XM will substitute XM promos for the originator’s commercials. HTH.

Robert Novak Unloads On Huckabee: “False Conservative,” “Frightening Problem” For GOP

Who would respond to criticism from the Club for Growth by calling the conservative, free-market campaign organization the “Club for Greed”? That sounds like Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich or John Edwards, all Democrats preaching the class struggle. In fact, the rejoinder comes from Mike Huckabee, who has broken out of the pack of second-tier Republican presidential candidates to become a serious contender — definitely in Iowa and perhaps nationally.

Huckabee is campaigning as a conservative, but serious Republicans know that he is a high-tax, protectionist advocate of big government and a strong hand in the Oval Office directing the lives of Americans. Until now, they did not bother to expose the former governor of Arkansas as a false conservative because he seemed an underfunded, unknown nuisance candidate. Now that he has pulled even with Mitt Romney for the Iowa caucuses and might make more progress, the beleaguered Republican Party has a frightening problem.

thanks y’all. feeling much better. :)

Trex posted it on the open Internet, and it even shows up on Google. So you don’t get to claim the blame for letting the cat out of the bag. ;-)

I’ll miss Trex, but I now know where to find him. Of more concern are his ominous words: “FDL is going to be heading into an exciting new phase of its existence …” Hmmmmm.

At least Huckabee’s honest about it, unlike Giuliani who won’t admit that that his role model is the Ayatollah Khomeni, Romney who won’t admit that his role model is Robert McNamara, or Thompson who won’t admit that his role model is Droopy.

Go to iTunes store, podcasts, search for Green 960. Rhodes, Hartmann, and Maddow’s shows are available. Free. And commercial free!

The impression I have from what little I’ve read is that the problem in that case is nothing more than sloppy paperwork, and when that problem is cured the foreclosures will proceed.

In a typical securitization, if the paperwork is done correctly there is no doubt who owns the underlying loans; it’s the securitization trust, which buys the loans from the originators. The underlying loans don’t get sliced and diced. Rather, the trust issues multiple classes of securities, each class with a different priority claim on the assets of the trust and therefore a different risk/return profile, and uses the proceeds of the issuance of those securities to buy the underlying loans. What paperwork needs to be done to perfect the trust’s interest in the underlying loan and its rights in the collateral varies from state to state.

You’re all quite welcome. It was a pleasant surprise to find those podcasts.

What Fowl End has Come Nigh?

The turkey’s been thoroughly ravaged.
The pie tins huddle in the sink, in fear.
The football has ceased, briefly.
Frighteningly, so has the beer.

And where went the thanks we were giving?
Who disappeared the drams?
Somewhere, a cranberry is crying.
There’s only the silence of the yams.

We all knew the stories of Iraqis returning in droves was partly BS, but it’s encouraging to know that the paper of record is reporting so.

I liked TBogg’s takedown of Mark Steyn tonight. Comments are over the top.

Reading those comments makes one appreciate even more the wondrous work done by the FDL Mod Squad.

I think this qualifies as a good working definition of chutzpah.

Famous civil rights lawyer gets bagged by the Feds for income tax evasion, is tried, and is convicted. He’s facing up to nine years in prison (which, for the benefit of those not familiar with the federal sentencing guidelines, means he evaded a s**tload of taxes). He’s arguing for no jail time, in part because he’s old and in failing health, but also so that he can teach a course at UCLA Law School on … wait for it … morality and law.

Up very early this morning — I have to go get “installed” in ambulatory surgery in about a half hour – the weather is chilly and rainy here, but no snow. They are predicting sleet/freezing rain “wintry mix” (I like that – “I’d like some wintry mix please – and don’t forget the nuts”).
With any luck, I’ll be home by dinner tonight, but nuthin’ from me today – ya’ll will have to hold up Christy and Jane by yourselves.
Carry on.

Good luck with the surgery Toby. Our thoughts are with you.

Attaturk has a new thread upstairs.

He mentions that: “FDL is going to be heading into an exciting new phase of its existence and I wish them nothing but the best.”

I read it. You and I now have the same info.

still feels unpleasant/sad… a break in community – and one that is not openly discussed/acknowledged. makes me think a comment in any post today would not be welcomed… so i came back here, to the only thread i know of where it might be ok to say…. i miss trex. and i miss the feeling of community.
