In my experience, projection is common to the more right-wing Republiks. That’s why they steal from the government. They think everybody does it. They are a very sad case, and their projection has infected a significant part of the American people, who will have to be taught again what the American government can do when it is led and administered by people who believe in it.

Yep, “terrifying” is exactly the right word for it.

Well you know, McCain has had an ax to grind with Hugo Chavez since the latter was organizing farm workers back in the ’60s.

“Briefly emerging from his near-invisibility during the nation’s terrifying financial crisis, President Bush this morning offered brief, unsubstantive and unpersuasive assurances.”

As usual, Froomie’s spot on.

I’ve been in financial services over 24 years, and have never seen anything close to what’s going on now.

On page a6 of today’s WSJ a headline reads “Congress Vows Action on Markets, but After Election”

Sen Reid and co don’t get it. We need substantive action immediately.

The short sellers are running rampant and causing fear throughout the financial markets.

If they wait until after the elections, there won’t be financial markets to come back to, at least as we’ve known them.

That’s not snark, either. A couple more 500 point down days and you’ll begin to see real panic in the markets, because that will be when you’ll call the broker/administrator of your 401(k), IRA, 403(B) etc. and say “Sell everything!”

Which of course they must do, so it will cause even more selling, and therefore lower market levels.

Hey jayt, I was also designated Chase Rooster Palin. I suspect the Palin baby name generator name pool is a tad shallow, much like the Palin gene pool.
