I’d be happy to see them go off bird hunting together with a case of Wild Turkey, enough oxycontin to down a horse, and some old, rusty shotguns.

Blame it on Santo Domingo.

OT: Per this article in the March first NYT:

The government already owns nearly 80 percent of [AIG’s] holding company as a result of the earlier interventions, which included a $60 billion loan, a $40 billion purchase of preferred shares and $50 billion to soak up the company’s toxic assets.

If we own their holding company, we own them, and Obama needs to simply say “NO” to bonuses. How difficult can that be?

OT: Here is another one. This is by Gretchen Morgensen in Saturday’s NYT:

As a result of the A.I.G. rescue, taxpayers own almost 80 percent of the company. (Friday evening, as this column was going to press, rumors were swirling that A.I.G. might be releasing a list of all of its counterparties.)

What the hell is with this “might release” bullshit. We fucking own them. Obama’s the Decider Guy. Just make it so!

Good morning, pups. It’s Cohen and Krugman today. Hmmm… No young Mr. Douthat yet, and he’s not yet listed on the roster of columnists. Inquiring minds, and all that… Mr. Cohen, in “Iran, Jews and Pragmatism,” says in Iran, life is a daily exercise in difficult compromises that temper Islam with modern society’s demands. Mr. Krugman writes from Madrid about “A Continent Adrift,” and says Europe is facing at least as severe a slump as the United States, yet has failed to respond effectively to the downturn.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. We’ve got another thick fog this morning, and may get rain. A bit of rain would be good — the first radishes are up, and I’m expecting to see lettuce sprouts today or tomorrow. Have a great day.

Douche-borough and his cohorts this morning as saying President Obama is now saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong. Wrong assholes! What he said is he is focusing on the strong parts and working on the weaker parts.

And….LMAO about the picture for this post, Attaturk! HIGH-sterical! And creepy. Yuck.

Clearly it’s where the whole “Teabag Party” thing originated.

Attaturk, I tried to open up the Digg, but wasn’t able to! Ugh. Anyone else know how to do it so I can Digg this post?

They do have a lot in common after all.

they both have the koch brothers as their puppet masters

They both love depraved “fraternity pranks”, throwing toasters into public swimming pools, thinking “24″ is like real life, sending other kids to wars,

they are the ones that had the torture script for 24 written

it was a social setup, the puppet masters are pretty good and these are the only real evil genious’s

cheney has always been a moron and a failure but he sounds smart and speaks in a manner we give deferance but he is a moron controlled by his real master, the koch brothers

rush is actually an inteligent man, not nearly the moron of cheney and bush but he is controlled by the koch brothers as well

we need to direct more attention to the koch brothers, they are responsible for the cato institute, the new surge in “libertarianism”, the push toward concervative agenda in entertainment and they are probably the people responsible for the pnac

I have decided not only does rush look related to rove, he also looks related to cheney

true dat

… thinking “24″ is like real life …

Atta, I have news for you.
Thanks to BushCo, “24″ is real life.
All your Bill of Rights are now belong to us.

And BHO ain’t giving them all back any time soon.

ps, it’s clear cheney is going after bush, he doesn’t know what he’s getiing into, as I said, cheney is a moron who thinks nobody can touch him

if pprogressives could get this fiight started, start getting in the media, CHENEY CALLS BUSH OUT”, if we can get that discussion going bush would then go after cheney

and THEN we would get some action

good point but attaturk really meant “thinking torture works like 24 makes believe”

saying President Obama is now saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong.

I heard the same crap from someone at a gathering yesterday so I can only assume (knowing the idiot I heard it from) that it must be a RW talking point.

They’ve gotta be related somewhere down the line because they’re both overweight, pasty white, and retarded.

it’s what happens with in breeding

The lies, deceits, and distortions never end when it comes to the American Taliban wanting to take control of the argument! So, there was Douche-borough this morning on Morning Joe saying one thing, and then when he played what President Obama actually said, it was the exact opposite of what Joe said the President was saying! And we know a few viewers will believe the pasty white man, Douche-borough, over the brown skinned man, President Obama! Spit. Makes me so angry.

I love how the wingers get all upset about stem cells and cloning, but yet, they’ve been in-breeding for years to make what they believe to be as the, “Master Race”. *shaking head*

obama is taking on too many bush attributes, ie his defenses mounted over at empty wheels house

I would be upset but not surprised if obama continues his degradation

good point

off to panera all, see you later

Have a good day Perris!

BTW, I apologize if this has already been discussed, but there
was a great article in yesterday’s NYT Magazine about the George W. Bush Freedom Agenda Policy Institute at
Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Basically, even the arrangement between Stanford and
the Hoover Institution, which basically allows Hoover to do WTF they want, was too much university interference for the Bushies. In typical BushCo fashion, they offered “my way or the highway” – and got it.
And now SMU has a slowing growing anti-academic freedom tumour attached.
Time to give the SMU president a bonus.

Morning everyone. I’ve been watching CNN this morning. No mention of AIG yet. That’s the big story of the day. Whether the MSM covers it or not is immaterial. People are going to be enraged and I think this may be the tipping point of rebellion.

Switched over to MSNBC. They’re talking about bombing Iran. Aaaah, some things never change.

“….and I think this may be the tipping point of rebellion. ~ Solai”

And there’s your answer! The MSM won’t report on stuff like this because they don’t want the public to be outraged and hitting the streets. They would much rather pull up old stories such as Anna Nicole’s death to keep Americans in the dark. MSNBC decided not to talk about Jon Stewart’s smackdown of Jim Cramer, because by doing so, they would have had to have shown the video clips of Cramer talking about he and his wife manipulate stocks for their own benefit on the backs of American’s pension funds!

I’d be happy to see them go off bird hunting together with a case of Wild Turkey, enough oxycontin to down a horse, and some old, rusty shotguns.

It’ll take a lot more oxy’s to bring down Rush than it would to bring down a horse.

mornin’ all.

Exactly Jayt! I bet a mouse would scare that big fat elephant rather than him snorting 300 Oxy pills through his nose.

This is at TPM regarding AIG:

What’s really driving this forward — and what makes it such a dangerous moment for the White House — is the jarring image of the administration’s impotence.

True. And it’s going to hurt Obama (as it should).

MSNBC talking about the bonuses.

spawns of Satan.

Kay,

Olberman and Maddow both had segments on Stewart’s smackdown on Friday night’s shows. Of course, I don’t watch MSNBC except for Olberman and Maddow, so I have no idea what the other segments were doing.

The faculty at Southern Millionaire’s haven’t had their final say yet. I fully expect that some compromise will be worked out. It will be something along the lines of Bushie’s library will be on the grounds of SMU, but not affiliated with the University proper.

So no courtesy faculty appointments for the apologists brown-nosers scowlers scholars affiliated with BushWorld. That means anyone attempting to get a doctorate at SMU can’t be advised by the folks at BushWorld.

With Pickles on the SMU Board of Trustees, that’s probably the best we can hope for.
