sorry for the early OT, but at 8pm EST nationbooks is holding an event in nyc that might be of interest:

Meltdown: The Economic Collapse and a People’s Plan for Recovery

Join Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz, author and activist Barbara Ehrenreich, Black Commentator’s Bill Fletcher, Jr., The New School’s Jeff Madrick and The Nation’s D.C. editor Christopher Hayes in a wide-ranging and incisive conversation as they discuss the origins on the financial collapse, debate President Obama’s stimulus package and consider what form economic recovery should take to ensure a more equitable future for everyone.

The event marks the publication of Meltdown: How Greed and Corruption Shattered Our Financial System and How We Can Recover (Nation Books) by Katrina vanden Heuvel and the editors of The Nation.

Co-sponsored by The New Society for Ethical Culture, Public Concern Foundation, Democrats.com, Democracy Now!, Haymarket Books, AlterNet, CodePink and The UpTake

there is supposed to be live webstreaming at the link and a chat is set up to take questions for the speakers and for discussion and there is a note that they will be live blogging the event.

Don’t worry, I wouldn’t touch the old windbag for all the tea in China.

and Darjeeling too

I’ll leave him alone, even if he’s rolling around screaming and on fire.

well mebbe ya could piss onhim,but he would prolly like it tooooo much

Digg this up firedogs… C and L only has 26 diggs on this video.. We should be able to digg that many with one fire-paw.

Boy, isn’t that hitting Rushballs below the belt? I mean, you really have to get down to hit him there as his belly is in the way.

thanx loves me some Babs

Speaking for my bladder and myself, we would help.

he is evil…50,000,000.00 per year to spread such vile hate

lol. then perhaps i should reply: loves me some joe.

I have been trying to find a place to park this for most of the day.

If we use the two stress test scenarios from the Treasury Department in the following table, then using the CoreLogic data: 1) approximately 17 million households will have negative equity by the end of 2010 under the baseline scenario (in the CoreLogic database), and 2) approximately 23 million households will have negative equity by the end of 2010 under the more severe scenario.

http://www.calculatedriskblog&…..quity.html

The baseline scenario posits a contraction in GDP of 2% and unemployment rate of ~8.4% and a further decline in house prices of 14%. These numbers are easily enviseageable.

The more severe scenario has a decline in GDP of 3.3%, an unemployment rate of 8.9% and decline in housing prices of 22%. This one is well within the realm of possibility as well.

The take home message is that Obama’s housing fix is at best (i.e. probably grossly inflated) supposed to help around 9 million or half or less of those who will need such help by the end of 2010.

Hmm I also wouldn’t touch Limbaugh. I’m totally sure he has cooties.

leave Britney alooone !!

How ’bout one teabag in the harbor?

we are so in need of some real political leadership.

i’m hoping to hear a good idea or two tonight (and am recording the audio for later streaming).

i checked and Tweety was covering Limbaugh again today. Before I could change the channel he said Rush’s rating almost doubled this week – totaling 25 million.

And I just checked KO… who was covering Rush… Sorry Keith, you cover Rush and you lose my viewership.

Rush is now and will always be an attention whore… I quit giving him that kind of satisfaction almost 20 years ago.

OMG!!

that is …..bad? good? could be better??

Bah hahahahahaha! Love it!

Yeah I think this is Digg bait.

http://digg.com/world_news/Joh…..OONE_video

Be sure to apologize to Rush in the comments.

then there’s this one:
Beck from the Dead

All aspects of all the economic plans Obama’s or those of Congressional Democrats and Republicans fall well short of what is needed. Yes, the Republicans are batshit crazy but neither President Obama or the Congressional Democrats are taking our headlong rush into depression seriously. Everyone is taking this as business as usual. Depression is not business as usual.

stiglitz up and putting it all together like no one else – why did we have lax monetary policy? it was required because of an insufficiency of global aggregate demand. two main reasons for this….

i’m not going to be able to live blog this – too much too fast – and i think folks may not be in the mood for it on a friday night. but will make a transcript and post it later tonight (if my audio rip works).

So much to apologize for..I, for one, am sorry that he is such a lonely, miserable, sad sack of a human being.

Yep – if the only people who pay attention to Limbaugh are his right wing nutcase buddies than that’s all he’s got. If we pay attention to him or throw attention toward him (causing others to check in) then we’ve just given him the ratings boost he craves. If you look at people in terms of how successful they are as adults (and by that I mean the following: do they have adult relationships with other adults, no matter what the gender. If they have children, do they have adult relationships with their kids. Do they look at the world through the eyes of rationality and not delusion), I think we all have to agree that Rush Limbaugh has been trapped in some adolescent stage of development and is only worth our pity…and then we should just …move on.

Wait, wait. I have to find a pillow so I can lie down. I have something to say!!

simple truhts

truths

ha ha

Off to the Laker game. You all have a wonderful evening,

((Sadly)) miss talking to you

Off topic:

FDL may have already talked about the following video, but if not, it’s a good one and I have to share:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNK4byQkn7w

word

miss ya mucho

It is amazing, the money that flows to hate.

I can’t- won’t take it… and I am sure Keith knocks him around like he should… But Tweety treats him like a very serious person/story.

ive been tinking about that lately,it is horrific

tweets has poop for brains too imo…so self absorbed

good luck!

He thinks he’s head of the celebrity glee club… in the middle of ongoing war crimes, looting sprees and other criminal atrocities. I prefer to watch the twilight zone on the sci-fi channel. /s

Oooh, oooh, oooh. It’s the curious tale of Rush Button. He’s aging backwards.

And yes, yes. Women are more important than potatoes, by god!

LOL
that and your “one tea bag in the harbor” and you got yourself a country song.

Dugg, thanks.

Great video.

I don’t know if it’s Art, but I like it.

Well, a whole hour has passed and there’s no word on whether John has apologized to Rush as yet … /s

Anyone having trouble with Nation’s website? No matter how I try to get in, I hit the wall.

Oh that’s a gem.

ES ! How’s the Wing ?

and here’s Taibbi on Rush

me………dayum

Tweety is just god-awful. When he shows up on the box, I flip the channel post haste. How can MSNBC not understand what a complete joke he is?

heee heeee

Still clipped… but I’m flapping double time with the good one..)

80 degrees in NW AR today.. petrocelli… Spring is on it’s way.. Maybe I will be flying again by early summer.

He freaking had the audience cleared out of the studio!! He is now raving that he had no chance to be understood. He has no problem with people disagreeing!!

Oh, lord, where’s my pillow??????????????

tweets,twats,twits of a feather flock together

Just LOVE John’s RANT!! Thanks Jane wouldn’t miss watching that for a million $$$’s

or, as Spider Robinson put it (about one of his characters), “an ingrown toenail of a man.”

all didjits crossed pal

Lindy !

digits?

I am now lying flat on my back, my face contorted with anguish. And I must speak these words to you as a sign of that: Rush Limbaugh is an asshat! (choky little sobbing sounds) Yes, he is. (sniff)

I’m gonna edit, just because I can. Thanks, FDL!!

LOL … you’re reeely enjoyin’ this, aren’t you ? *g*

tis too cool

LOL. I’ll hafta see what I can do! (Or not.)

Thanks

“RICH”

Bloomberg’s Eric Martin today declared that Obama is to blame for the stock market collapsing. Read this, from an article entitled “‘Obama Bear Market’ Punishes Investors as Dow Slumps”:

President Barack Obama now has the distinction of presiding over his own bear market.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 20 percent since Inauguration Day, the fastest drop under a newly elected president in at least 90 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Ya know what? Remember that I’m the one who doesn’t watch teevee. Not even the new one that followed me home a few weeks ago. So until this clip, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Limbaugh in action before. What a monstrous egomaniacal pontificating, ummmm, asshat. Way easy to make fun of this dude, eh?! *g*

Anyone having trouble with Nation’s website? No matter how I try to get in, I hit the wall.

working for me:

It’s amazing these idiots can type.

sTIGLITZ …………
corporate merrrika was so good at cooking the books they deceived themselves

Hey! a rerun of John Lithgow on Bill Moyers — it’s a good one

Why does anyone take Limpballs serious. He’s an admitted drug addict. He digs underage boys, and is obviously mentally unstable. The crazy shit he talks about appeals to less than 20% of this country. Limp who?

Whoa! The whole thread has gone bonkers (for me).

selise, try this: http://theuptake.com/

It loads very slowly, so be patient.

before this started limbaugh was floundering, a non player and everyone knew he was powerless in influencing voters…actually counter productive in influencing voters and he enjoyed at that time almost as vile hatred as bush himself (now it’s even higher)

since that time his listenership has doubled, his political pull within the party has quadrupeled

he is an entertainer, he knows the party is dooned and now he’s going to take as much money from the party as possible

right now he’s going to command double, possibly triple, fees he might have commanded before this started

rush is a jabba, an impotent man who now enjoys more power and money then he ever enjoyed before this issue

the man is not so dumb as his constituents

krystol actually called rustly limballs out on faux newz

he had them set him up for it too, if you watch the tube you’ll see someone actually looking concerned that limpballs is hoping obama fails, you can hear in her voice she doesn’t like it

at this is on faux newz so you know she’s expecting the answer that comes

krystol then says limpballs shouldn’t be saying it

that’s a deliberate call out on rusty limp, krystol is going after the fat man

selise, you have me looking in at naked capitalism now and then. They have a good article on how Geithner screwed up the Asian financial crisis back in the day.

http://www.nakedcapitalism.com…..html#links

all the top NAZI PROPAGANDISTS were JUNKIES TOO,shot up evryday to spew the vile hate

Q: Are people still holding on to [their hope] thinking he will be able to change the problems we are now facing?

KRISTOL: Look, Americans wish a new president well. They hope his policies succeed, as they should.

there it is…now krystol covers his butt by following with an attack on obama but inho he is definately setting up this showdown

watch the tube, watch how the interviewer is “concerned” and ready for the krystol smack down

it’s a setup

I am saying krystol does not want limpballs having any popwer in the party

this is a showdown

I sure am hoping limpballs takes the challenge

if that happens we will have no corn left for fuel, all will be going for popcorn sales

Eli’s up!

stiglitz is not a polished speaker but imo he’s great content and insight wise. and he’s got some good lines tonight too…..

i’m ok. had it up and running half an hour before the start of the event – and the audio rip is working so far.

he is brillant…..reply to selis@82

i saw that post but haven’t read it yet. is it any good? i’m psycing myself up to deal with the outrage i fear reading it may induce. *g*

It’s times like this I’m so proud to be a Canuck … Canadian Diplomat proposes a solution for Jerusalem

(sigh)

I’m under no illusion that this will get any play … still a good proposal though.

I can’t fathom how anyone in that tortured area would be willing to allow someone to oversee or administer their land and their affairs. In the best of all worlds, that would be the United Nations, right? This not being the best of all worlds, I think Abraham would have a rum go.

Dugg!

Please go Digg it, and while you’re there, leave a comment to increase your mileage!

Rush is worth $400 million? Where is the justice?

Sounds like a plan!
