We don’t need no steenkin’ honor McCain’s selection of Palin culminates a search of years for just this kind of candidate, says Matt Taiibi to Imus. And as usual the Dems took the Republite choice….

Be afraid America, but I’m gonna get some laughs outa this.

Hey, are yall still whining about the economy. Shame on you.

Whew! I thought I was all alone out here in the stew.

Taiibi also said, re Lehman and pretty much all of the subprime mortgage profiteeers, they ought to be hung up by their balls.

Imus was hoping to blame a Democrat instead of his own incompetent at governance Republicans

and shouldn’t the advertorial conversations with the Fox News people have to be labelled as bought and paid for?

How long will it take for McCain to come out and say we need strong leadership during this economic crisis. Stay the Course!

Last night FOX Business had a pimp talking about how it’s a good time to buy.. and shouldn’t the advertorial conversations with the Fox News people have to be labelled as bought and paid for?

Good morning, eCAHN. Are there any safe havens in this storm?

Frankly I am worried that all this talk about Lehman and AIG and bankruptcy and foreclosures will knock the lipstick lady off the front page just as it was getting interesting. I want to know what bra size she wears, what hair colouring she uses, does her husband wear a condom, does she use tooth whitener? Shit there are a lot of questions that may go unanswered now.

Cash (i.e., short term treasuries), though the yield is going down as Federal Reserve is likely to ease.

Yep – canning, drying and freezing. And the DH and I have been doing a huge amount of all three this summer.

Morning all
Spent a lot of time yesterday looking for tickets for Obama speech hear tuesday AM. None to be found.

The last two days have shown the world what charlatans these people are. Problem is outside of the financial sector most Americans couldn’t care less.
“Does that mean the interest on my credit card will go up?” Does that mean I won’t be able to borrow money for a 3rd jet ski?”

What McSFB needs to do now is get economics wizard Phil Gramm out front and center to tell all the teebee watchers that the economy is just fine and that only a few million of the working class will get screwed.

Hey, Gramm!! Yeah you, bonehead. Still wearin’ yer Milton Friedman medallion? I got just the place for it.

At least the stock market and the economy will have completely collapsed well prior to the election. Let’s see them blame this one on Obama.

and one last from Taibbi — reporters are scared to death of losing their access, so they won’t ask/report on the tough questions for Palin…cites Campbell Brown and the subsequent cancellation of McCain on Larry king.

kill the rooster to scare the monkey.

Pure Sun Tzu.

Should happen before noon. I hear they’ve already booked “The View” for a special live edition today.

I think they probably hit on that by pure accident. Not a one of that bunch would understand Sun Tzu.

If you have wondered whether the oil market is totally manipulated by an invisible hand, watch what the price of oil does today. The World Bank IS the price setter for oil. All of it is tied to the global elite, the US face of which is David Rockefeller. The only way to prevent the total collapse of the dollar is to collapse the price of oil – potentially as low as $50.

They ran it up to steal all of your money and destroy the economy, and they’ll run it down to try to get McCain elected – to implement their Fascist Dictatorship plan.

Where’s our conservative commenter from the other day? Would love to see his perspective. hahahahahahahahahaha

Stay off the sidewalks near tall buildings in New York’s financial district today.

Imagine the poor bastards who trade out of the JP Morgan Chase Building in Houston, and can’t even get into their office – on a day like today.

Oil started out the day under $96.

watching MSNBC. Some 527 called BraveNewPac is running a swiftboat ad – a Vietnam POW calling out McCain, saying that Mac is not the kind of guy he wants to see with his finger anywhere near the red button.

Yeah but the price at the pump jumped over the weekend so I am still whining.

Yeowssuh. Sic ‘im, rip his balls off (figuratively speaking, of course). *g*

Yeah, gas is still selling at or near its high while oil is trading 35% off its high. Somebody’s making one hell of a profit on that spread. Probably not you, eh?

Went to do a water change in my aquarium at work yesterday and it had jumped a dime.

The plan for Republicans to block voting by voters that lost their mortages in Michigan is well under way. Republican AG has sent those voters names to the DOJ to be not only disqualified from voting but ALSO subject to prosecution for voter fraud. This news from NPR radio at AM.

where that?

Florida’s AG has already received over 300 complaints of price gouging since Ike.

Not to worry, Bush said he’d look into price gouging at the gas pump.

More like this, please. Obama links McCain to Bush’s failed economic policies:

“The challenges facing our financial system today are more evidence that too many folks in Washington and on Wall Street weren’t minding the store,” Obama said in a statement. “Eight years of policies that have shredded consumer protections, loosened oversight and regulation, and encouraged outsized bonuses to CEOs while ignoring middle-class Americans have brought us to the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.”

“I certainly don’t fault Sen. McCain for these problems,” Obama said, “but I do fault the economic philosophy he subscribes to.”

Tempest in a teapot. Hopefully, this will return to bite him in the ass.

He will be at the Co School of mines in Golden tomorrow AM

Probably from 35,000 feet as he flies over in AF 1

Chevy Chase, comedian, is on GE Nuclear Power Tee Vee, with “Dead Intern” Joe. Chevy, “The more we understand, that McCain has lost his mind, the better we will be.”

Speaking of the video clip:

To paraphrase John Kerry,
how do you ask someone to be the last person to lie for a mistake?

Fear not; ways will be found. :-(

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Our worries are over. W is to discuss financial-markets crisis at 11:10 a.m. ET, Reuters reports.

You’ll get a first hand look at the “Visible Hand” (Plunge Protection Team) in the market all day today. Watch for them to buy it back with both hands (using your money) around 2:30 this afternoon. Bush is scheduled to speak this morning to try to save the market – which will absolutely be supported by PPT buying – though it’s likely to fail.

Would someone please remind me to switch to the cartoon network at 11:05 so that I can have something serious on

Namaste

I am so re-assured.

Can’t wait to hear your comments on that one; hope you’re gonna be around. *g*

Well folks…Black Monday is upon us again………..those filthy repukes have totally plundered and raped the country…Sarah P…will CHARGE US FOR ALL OUR rape kits

I wonder if he’ll have the deer in the headlights look that he sometimes gets when he is forced to talk about serious issues. Alternatively, he could do a Phil Gramm and say that things are hunkey dorey and we should all go shopping. Or, another alternative, more tax cuts for the rich. So many choices for W.

707

I have stuff to do today, so I’m not sure where I’ll be at 11:10, but I’ll to be here.

Mom called yesterday and said she took a huge hit in Fannie Mae…her dork over at Northern Trust must be a Repuke

Sorry to hear about your Mom. No one should have been advised to own financial stocks in this market.

They should be out getting jobs, anyway, not wasting time voting. /s

im pissed as hell,she is 91…this has been going on for a year,i dont think my brother will let me intervene…she is very hip,but my bro is not so swift.I told her to make sure she is out of banks and brokerage entirely,but its late in the game

Lindsay’s up
Alaskan Women Reject Palin, Despite Intimidation

Wow! 91! It seems to me she should be all in cash (short term treasuries). No reason for her to be exposed to any risk at that age. However, do not take any advice from someone like me who you’ve never met and I don’t know your mother’s or your family situation. Sounds like you need a new financial advisor for her though.

Blues being to help us through the rough times and all, a nice snappy Mean to Me for a stormy Monday. Yes, that is Oscar Brown, Jr. introducing. Wanted the Errol Garner version, but this one’s really good too.

she loves (loved) the income

Watch her spew her venom…Stick her on the edge of a glass ‘n she’d really be able to suck down da Kool Aid. Damn dumb dodo.

Jane…loved ya on C span!
