You don’t understand This Was Managed. It was no surprise to anyone senior in the adminsitration about the cut in AMBAC’s credit rating.

I’m willing to bet all the serior admin officials, and well connected republicans, shorted the market over the last 2 weeks, and have made a kiling on the results.

Insider trading? You bet!

While there are ethical investments, the stock market is basically a scam and a stupid place to park money.

I don’t have parents (anymore) no inheritance… no children to worry about. My approach might be very different than most. I simply want to leave this life without any money in the bank or property to be disposed of.

If I die before my wife, she get to deal with my property… little that it is. No investments.

Chances are we’ll be sailing out of this country in a few years. Good riddance.

ya, and make sure to turn those “temporary tax cuts” into permanent gifts

I’ve been saying this for some time, the purpose of this administration’s strategy is not to aquire wealth for the wealthy, the purpose is to take wealth from the middle class

they want to dismantle the new deal, they want a robber baron economy returned to America

they are pissed off there is public education, they don’t want the masses educated, they are pissed off there is electricity available to everyone, they are pissed off we don’t have to take showers in privately owned bath houses in the squaler of strangers, they are pissed off there is a middle class

Want to defeat St. McCain in November? Point out to anyone you can that Iraq IS the economy. We’re flushing a trillion down a rat hole there, but according to McCain and his fellow Rethugs, it’s a mortal sin to spend a dime helping ordinary Americans. How come?

I like the fact that the Right is using the “If we don’t talk about bad news X, it won’t have happened” approach that has worked for them so well in the Mideast and whenever another Republican is discovered molesting little boys. Not sure that method will work so well when the nation slides into a Depression.

“La la la la la la la, I’m not LISTENING I’m still RICH la la la la la…”

“Yeah, look, buddy, could you get going? The line to the soup kitchen is moving…”

Hey, I know, let’s pass another round of tax breaks for the wealthy. That should turn the economy around lickity split.

Good letter to ed in Mpls Star Trib yesterday:
“We should be glad that our Social Securtiy money wasn’t in the privatized hands of Citibank, Merrill Lynch and the other financial ‘wizards’ as President Bush had so strongly urged.”
Something that needs to be said repeatedly & loudly.
