specifically

IndyMac came under fire last month from U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, who said lax lending standards and deposits purchased from third parties left it on the brink of failure. In the 11 business days after Schumer explained his concerns in a June 26 letter, depositors withdrew more than $1.3 billion, the OTS said.

The rumor about Obama's birth certificate is being investigated aggressively by Bo Dietl - He at least is of the opinion that Hawaii has no public record to support his birth on U.S. Soil. Fingers crossed - Ironic if the "Obamanation" was derailed for such an obvious oversight...

His class in Gan (nursery school) was taught to make challah Friday AM, and his actually turned out well. I have a feeling that the teachers helped a lot. ;)

Not this year with the dems in charge of the legislative branch. IMO, they believe it is to their advantage for the economy to tank with the thought that Bush will be blamed and that they will then win the White House AND sweep the House and Senate.

Not sure that strategy will work. If the Republicans had a pair, they'd be shouting from the rooftops that the oil price problem can be laid at the feet of the dems due to the past 40 years of environmental policies choking the ability to produce and refine domestically. They could further point out that the policies pushed by the dems for "affordable housing" for low income people resulted in so many bad loans.

/that is *if* the Republicans had a pair and a spine, which, I'm afraid, is sadly lacking as evidenced by McCain throwing Gramm under the bus instead of using it as a teachable moment.

$30 million in June

The Wall Street Journal quoted people close to the Obama campaign as saying his total contributions in June would likely be just over $30 million.

Asked about the newspaper's figure, Obama's communications director, Robert Gibbs, said it was "way off the mark."

Asked if he meant it was more, he said he did. The campaign probably would not issue the June figure until close to the filing deadline of July 20, Gibbs added.

Cormac had brought his fastest team of horses, and he boasted of their speed. Macha's husband said, "My wife is faster."

So Cormac had Macha brought forth to race his horses, even though she was heavily pregnant and going into labor. No man of Ulster would intercede with the king for her, so she ran the race - and beat the fastest horses in Ulster - while in labor.

When she crossed the finish line, she fell down, and while giving birth, laid a curse on all the men of Ulster, that whenever they were in danger, they should lie for three days in pains as of a woman in labor.

She gave birth to twins, who became bulls, and were the cause of the Tain Bo Coullaigh.

re: #132 blackpajamas

Somebody said, I forget who, that the historical rate of home ownership in the US was around 62%. At the height of the housing "boom" that level rose to 69% and he said it signaled disaster. Remember that figure for the future. Only about 62% of the population are responsible enough to own their own homes with out destroying the housing sector. Maybe less than that.

re: #93 blackpajamas Well actually a surprisingly HUGE amount of Fannimae and Freddiemac BONDS are held by retirement systems - lots and lots of older folks have all or most of their retirement savings in those Bonds and bondholders get paid - in the event of a liquidation - before shareholders do. That no doubt accounts or the fact that while the stock price of each has dropped, bond traders have been telling me all day that they can't sell enough Fannie or Freddie Bonds.
That's why neither one is gonna be nationalized nor put out of business - and the Fed opened it's lending window (buncha bucks at much lower rates) to both Fannie and Freddie.

Who is Welcome on Democratic Underground, and Who is Not

Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other statists Members are expected to be completely supportive of the collective and not deviate from those ideals. Our objective is to remain a complete statist echo chamber and we will cover our ears and scream really loudly if anybody tries to confuse us with facts. If you don't agree with statist values of big government, big taxes, and total government control -- don't bother to post here, don't try to annoy us with facts, we aren't going to listen; you will be banned and won't be allowed back, no matter how much you beg or how long you spend at re-education camp.

Relationship to the Democratic Party
Democratic Underground is, on paper, in accordance with federal election rules, a completely independent organization from the Democrat party, despite our name. However, we are completely in the tank for the Democrats and will do whatever we can in our power to get them elected.

Democratic Underground is not affiliated with the Democratic Party in any way, and comments posted here are not representative of the Democratic Party or its candidates. [The democrat lawyers made us put this here to keep us on the up-and-up with FEC rules; wink, wink, nudge, nudge]

re: #133 kevinmumaw

Therein lies the crux. I like WaMu...Citibank is strong, but I am not an investment professional, strictly amateur.

Likewise...I had a 'pro' reccomend Citi the other night, even though he's pretty convinced that it will only be a matter of time before it gets taken over by a Wells-Fargo, Bank of America or Chase. He raised a good point about the dividend (just under 8%) while waiting for what he felt was the inevitable takeover.

Of course, this is the same 'pro' who talked me out of Patriot and James River Coal last year (I can't bring myself to look at the 52-week charts on those).

But still, I have a bad feeling about WaMu

Someone recently pointed me to online instructions for making a homemade disco ball with CD/DVD fragments and a glue gun... so I bought a 5-inch styrofoam ball at the craft store and have been cutting up discs and hot-gluing like a madman tonight. Soon, very soon, I will be the coolest guy on the block with exclusive invitation-only dance parties in my bedroom.

Thus far I have found that commercially produced DVDs (as opposed to home-burned ones) work the best, since the plastic they are made of will cut into squares, triangles, and other polygons without splintering and shattering and possibly blinding you with plastic shrapnel, as commercial CDs tend to do.

I tried both CD-R and DVD-R discs, as well, and found that although they were easy to cut into the shapes I needed, the reflective metallic layer tended to crinkle and separate from the clear plastic layer during the cutting and/or gluing process.

Conclusion: Hit the yard sales and buy up some crappy old DVDs at $1 apiece. Would be kinda cool to make a disco ball entirely out of unwanted Michael Bay movies and other "summer blockbuster" overstock.

By the way, I wrapped the styrofoam ball in aluminum foil (using a few dabs from the hot glue gun to secure the foil) before attaching the cut-up DVDs, so that any gaps between the mirror-tiles would be less conspicuous.

I'll post pictures on my blog whenever it's eventually done!

Crisis deepens as Big Bank fails

IndyMac Bank, a prolific mortgage specialist that helped fuel the housing boom, was seized Friday by federal regulators, in the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history.

IndyMac is the biggest mortgage lender to go under since a fall in housing prices and surge in defaults began rippling through the economy last year -- and it likely won't be the last. Banking regulators are bracing for a slew of failures over the next year as analysts say housing prices have yet to bottom out.

The collapse is expected to cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. between $4 billion and $8 billion, potentially wiping out more than 10% of the FDIC's $53 billion deposit-insurance fund.

[...]

The director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, John Reich, blamed IndyMac's failure on comments made in late June by Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.), who sent a letter to the regulator raising concerns about the bank's solvency. In the following 11 days, spooked depositors withdrew a total of $1.3 billion. Mr. Reich said Sen. Schumer gave the bank a "heart attack."

Remind me to never bank at a place which Schumer may know about....

CFTC says no evidence of oil manipulation, hoarding

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission told Congress on Thursday there is no evidence that market traders are working together to push up crude oil prices or that oil supplies are being hoarded.

"We have no evidence that people are hoarding oil," CFTC Chairman Walter Lukken told a House Appropriations subcommittee.

He also said the CFTC doesn't "see systemically in the current market" that traders are "working together" to drive up prices.

[...]

Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who chairs the House subcommittee, accused the CFTC of not doing enough to rein in excessive speculation and protect consumers from soaring fuel prices.

Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who chairs the House subcommittee, accused the CFTC of not doing enough to rein in excessive speculation and protect consumers from soaring fuel prices.

[...]

Lukken said high crude prices are due to flat oil production around the world that is unable to keep up with growing global oil demand.

"We're consuming more than we're producing," Lukken said.

The Democratic house committee has been banging the drum about "speculators" so loudly... problem is there is no evidence.

Because BONDHOLDERS GET PAID FIRST in any liquidation - which will never happen - before shareholders and Fannie and Freddie hold over a TRILLION dollars in morgtages, with a default rate of less than 5%.

"Totem, an object (as an animal or plant) serving as the emblem of a family or clan and often as a reminder of its ancestry; also : a usually carved or painted representation of such an object"*

E.g., while the picture of a "Dapper Squirrel" might not necessarily signify that the poster of such image is in any way descended from such said squirrel (as dapper as it may be), it does admit an association between the totem-poster and the image (viz. totem-in-question), that in the context of that poster being associated with a particular group/family/clan (perhaps a blog), specifically by the repeated act of using that image for self identification within that group, the image then denotes association/ancestry within that group, and can be said to be... wait for it... a TOTEM.

On this day in history, July 12th, 1944

FRANCE: The US forces capture Hill 92, just 2 miles east of St. Lo.

Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Theodore Roosevelt and assigned to the US First Army, dies of a heart attack in Normandy, France. He was 56. Roosevelt was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Normandy on 6 June 1944. The citation for the medal reads, "Citation: for gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After two verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brigadier General Roosevelt's written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brigadier General Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France." The medal was posthumously awarded on 28 September 1944
