And you were gonna be drinkin’ water run through canals and using radioactive ores extracted by this process…

…and I recall that this stuff was actually an idea pushed by Lyndon LaRouche a few years back!
“We have the technology!”

BTW I heard on NPR yesterday a discussion about how all organisms that lived in the mid-1950’s contain cells that have a nuclear-spike of Carbon-14 from the ingested CO2 (if a plant) or plants (if an animal) that absorbed radioactive Carbon isotopes. Enamel in your teeth has a C14 spike that drops off in the mid-1960’s after atmospheric nuclear bomb testing was banned.

It’s not late night anymore but thanks for the Byrne/Eno shoutout. I saw David Byrne about a month ago performing the music of Byrne & Eno and it was brilliant. I never thought I would get to see songs from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts performed live. He played for 2 hours, 3 lengthy encores, and the crowd showed him a lot of love.

True but it does tell us how scared the GOP is of him:)
Nite folks!

The business blogs I read say one thing they have been predicting this ever since Bush Greenspan caused the housing bubble by lowering interest rates. However the business news on TV all bought the GOP party line and many still do Maria Bartiromo was all the time saying that Obama would raise taxes.
She never mentioned only on the rich.
All the GOP was behind Jon McCain in keeping the war going even after the bank bailout and wars cost money.
Yet now they can’t find the money to help the big three automakers. They can’t find the money for healthcare.

i know! That’s another thing that frustrates me and will until the Obama Admin goes to work. I’m quite sure they will get right to work too, but for now they’re pretty much tied to picking people for spots and hammering out a plan. With the GOP laying all the tiger traps they can in the meantime. I wanted to say bear traps, but i think they’re trying to contain a much more dangerous type of critter to no avail.

He hasn’t taken office yet and people are already blaming him for shit falling through. It’s not as if he can twist the Shrub’s arm to get him to sign an auto industry bailout right now.

Neuro,

Cynical as I am, I keep having teeny, tiny flashes of wondering just how much fun it might be to have Joe in that job watching DHS being dismantled into its component parts in a major reorganization.

True but we can make it a shorter or longer downturn by what Obama does next. Bush I expect will blame the recession on business cycles and claim that there was nothing he could do and that he was not the cause of the recession.
Funny how that piece of false current wisdom only applies to the GOP.
The GOP will try and stop Obama from doing anything about the recession and then blame him for it.
Rush Limbaugh is already doing it.

Probably not. I think the only reason i’ll come out okay is because i’m in healthcare and i’m already used to living in poverty line wages and conditions. The convenience store part might suffer a little, but the pharmacy part will still go on.

Better than expected, but not enough to help the market recover. Far from that. People are hurting and have been for some time. There’s no way to get around that.
