Joe the Complainer!
Frugal Sara …bwahahahahahahaa
MSNBC seems to be playing John McCain’s commercials attacking Barack Obama in full every morning. Free advertisement for Johnny’s dying campaign? Yep! You betcha.
I’d be “exiting” too if I was losing that much money!
lets all send Sarah our old used socks…..
thats MSGOP…if Keith and Rachel were not so popular,it would be all McPalin all the time
Joe the Complainer had Joe the Whiner on. Shorter Joe the Whiner, it’s the wall street meltdown.
Another Fla. poll -
A new St. Petersburg Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll shows Sen. Barack Obama leading McCain 49 percent to 42 percent in this state McCain cannot afford to lose. The biggest factor? Less partisan independent voters moving to Obama by a ratio of more than 2-to-1.

It’s gunna get tuff keeping track of all these joes.
Exactly. Joe Scarborough (why are most of the Joe’s frauds who are connected to the McCain campaign? Huh.) still hasn’t explained why his office secretary was found dead in the office after she was gonna spill the beans about the upcoming 9/11 attack and the connections. Maybe this is why he shills for McCain and the GOP? Rather than face jail, they’ve protected him by giving him his own show all these years!
Credit crisis interfering with food supply:

The tip of the iceberg. Food distribution is a delicate system, and it all runs on faith, trust and credit.
CRASH ALERT: Ugly day in the markets on tap (look out below):
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/bu…..8690.story
The rest of the world is seeing through the Treasury’s end-of-day market manipulations and are liquidating positions. I’ve never seen the PPT unable to game the futures – until today. Either the world is coming to an end, or they are letting this washout occur on purpose. They have ALWAYS been able to manipulate the Futures numbers…every single day, forever.
If the market has already technically “crashed,” do we need to invent a new word for today’s action?
Here’s what the Treasury department will attempt to pull off today…
They have all their shills lined up to scream bloody murder on CNBS until about 2:00 this afternoon, intentionally causing the panic. They will then show up and start buying massive traunches of select DOW issues sufficient to move that average north. They will stick Art Cashin’s mug on TV around 3:00 to explain that we’ve just experienced the classic panic sell off and if we rebound to close above a certain level, it’s all over, and off to the races next week. If we close in the green, Maria Buttafucco will have a screaming orgasm on live television on the floor of the exchange.
That’s the script, and the entire global economy hinges on pulling it off. Either the treasury department will end up owning all the stocks for sale for a very long time, or the CNBS reality creation machine will pull it off.
Whether or not they manage to save it today, I predict a greatest depression brought on by the total collapse of the system of credit. GOT FOOD?
Ditto the Complainer, as well. Too bad when the economy is taking out their bank accounts AND their party all in one fell swoop. *sniff*
sadlyyes @ 6 -
Hasn’t Rachel been having some great people on!?! Faces you don’t see on any of the other shows…..and they all seem to enjoy being there.
I missed SNL last night — that endorsement was hilarious!
Casey was on F&F. He’s a little worried about his state. Me, too. Obama wins PA, we win. Murtha didn’t help and McC is putting a lot of cash and time there. Add that to Ed Rendell’s plea. I’d like to see Obama go back to PA. Forget Florida, I don’t trust the machines.
This is presumptious, I realize, Obama’s done fine without my input.
Mornin’ BT, everybnody.
From the prior thread. Looks pretty good. But there’s a long ways to go and we’re still the underdog here. Really.
*******
Numbers.

You guys can do all the extrapolation stuff ’cause I suck at math. But seems to me we’re way ahead turnout wise and the ratio of us-them is way higher.
“Obama up 7 in FL”
I’ll believe it when I see it on Election Night (or the next day). We really believe we’re behind a little.
Hasthe price of darning eggs gone up on eBAY?
FL’s do-able. But they’ve done what they can pretty much with the big guns. Gotta get Hillary, Barack & Joe back to PA and OH. Then maybe back to FL for a last push. Don’t think that’s gonna happen, though. But yeah, need to get back up to PA & OH. And yeah, they’ve done OK without my 2 cents, too.
From Reddit, more campaign humor. Republican election clerks are so funny as they steal our votes.
And NBC….another blond, looks like Perino, only this is great granddaughter of Herbert Hoover explaining tax policy. Hysterical, where did they find her & why? Dissing any tax increase and saying the FDR policies did not work. What a way to start my morning.
Good Morning all….lots of coverage about the states breakdown; McCain may not have a way to put the combination together even with favorables in some of the toss-up states. Let us pray.
You are spot on!
Cashin’s been calling for capitulation for weeks now; I hope he’s happy because it’s here.
And Maria B. should have long ago been issued pom-poms, a sweater with a big NYSE on it and pleated skirt. She, among many others on that network, have been huge shills for anything these corrupt bastards have been doing the last few years (that means you Kudlow & Caruso-Cabrera), lest they be cut off from the top shelf liquor and big shrimp parties.
Not to mention access to the Hamptons galas in the summer.
Hoover’s granddaughter? She’s gotta be 3 days older than dirt, or slightly younger than McSFB.
Oh yes, bankrupting the government by telling Americans you don’t have to pay taxes is the best way to get revenue into our government! See? This is how neocons think and this is why when Johnny McTeleprompter says, “The rich should not have to pay taxes to spread the wealth to those who need it”, those making $18,000/year in the audience scream like little piglets!
Shameful. The neocons want America to be as strong against the world as Angola is. Angola isn’t strong, you say? Exactly!!!!
Definition of an opimistic investment banker (old joke, time to revive): Irons 5 white shirts on Sunday night.
Good one, eCAHN. Overconfidence is never a good thing. ;-)
Inside joke? I don’t get it, but then I ain’t the brightest star in the sky.
Expects to be employed for the next week.
I offered up the following late yesterday; I don’t know for sure, but it may offer some insight to what’s going on this morning.
OK.
*making my ‘Congratulations Obama Family!’ cake*
I’m a little overconfident this morning but I’m okay with it. ;-)
Okay, going to work. Have a great day everyone.
‘Bush Recession’ taking on legs…now a well advanced world recession. Taking down the US economy was the goal..Taking down the world economy must be an after thought.
OH MY,MY, MY!

Seen yesterday; “Sarah Palin, 2012″ bumper sticker. Is that a sign of surrender?
BBC is reporting that the gas that makes farts “pungent” is also involved in reducing blood pressure.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7686911.stm
There is one wrinkly old fart that does just the opposite (the sidekick with a sidekick).
Sorry, we got DA MACHINES here in PA w/ a mini-rove controller of the county in charge.
So do we all have to eat a serving of kidney beans at night. That sounds so romantic.
One more scumbag out on the street.
There’s a fun game ya can play with candles.
I only saw a small bit of her argument since I was channel surfing. Seems that as we get closer to the election, my remote control is becoming hyperactive.
This Just in!: McCain’s changes tactics! He’s not just a Maverick anymore. Now he’s a Renegade!
OH yeah
Something definitely smells fishy about that whole business at this point in time.
Exactly…I just happened on and then was so curious about “why is this woman?” A bit of a shock and talking like an expert on FDR. Who knew?
Yes but he was our dictator so thats alright and besides he was not a terrorist just a murderer.
Interesting. There was a very similar joke in FAA air traffic control in ancient days when all controllers were required to wear white shirts and ties. Trainee asks how he’s doing and his instructor says, “Well, I wouldn’t buy any more white shirts if I were you.”
In actuality, they were much less subtle and compassionate in their responses.
CNBS just put up a graphic calling today “Flushing Friday”
Good thing we’ve got a Plunger handy!
it really is about that…..their PARTIES,AND DESIGNER LABELS….used to hang with that crowd………..snooze festival
his real name was Joe…Joe Pinochet,or like PAPA Joe,…….Joe the DICTATOR,also an ALLY we talked to without caveats…lol
Morning levity.
Very cute.
John McCain Pals Around With Mass Murderers
I went to Malkin’s site and also to Hotair, (not linking). Malking was surprisingly skeptical for an alleged hate crime against a republican. Miniprops to her, but she is still way in the negative for all the garbage and nonsense she usually spews.
I just laughed out loud for at least a minute thinking about this dumb lady Ashley Todd, a college Republican. The most obvious problem with her story is the backwards “B” on her face, just the way it would look if it were carved while looking in the mirror. Doh! Plus, “carved” is being charitable. It looks more like she scraped her face with a needle. Plus, the “B” is surprisingly neat for having been “carved” into her face by an “enraged” robber who purportedly followed her to her car after stealing $60 from her? Why? To steal her car too? It might make more sense if the alleged robber actually stole her car, but he didn’t. And the attack took 40 minutes. It started at 8:50pm and she didn’t call the police until 9:30pm. You would think that for as long as the attack took, the enraged robber would have checked his work and done it again on the other cheek to get it right.
There was one funny comment on hotair though. Someone mused whether it would be a hate crime if a person got beat up for having a Cowboys sticker on their car. Go Giants.
Giants!!!!!!
Palin is frugal..she just got $150,000 worth of clothes…makeup..voice coach…and not one penny was spent by her!
The voting machines in Tennessee are flipping from Republican to Democrat.HAR HAR…now what? Somebody is manipulating the machines that the Republican techies are manipulating?
