re: #6 livefreeor die

She seems a lot more natural tonight. Quite appealing again.

Some thoughts on the financial crisis.

Oil increasing by a factor of 6 in less than 15 months was a global blow to growth, it was the inevitable slip into recession that sent everything into freefall. Coupled with a war and several industries that never quite recovered from 9-11 and we are in the perfect storm.

Going forward, there are some smart things that need to happen with regards to financial institutions. First we need to restore the regional/state banks that were rolled up in mergers to give us the very institutions that were supposed to be "too big to fail." It turns out they were too big to let fail and we will be paying it off for a long time. Bank should be allowed to operate any number of branches in up to 4 contiguous states. All national banks can have up to 10 business offices in every state with up to 30 in in California, Florida and Texas. This arrange does several things- it restores post depression State based banking while fostering national competition. It is also advisable to re-establish the old interbank syndication of larger loans, this will force large financings to pass multiple risk analysis desks and share risk among institutions.

The next major change is to require insurance premiums to be paid by buyers in transactions and charge higher premiums for riskier transactions. Options and derivatives are not wrong top create, what is wrong is not to require purchasers of securities to pay a premium to a national investor protection fund that guarantees investors' holdings against messes like the one we are now seeing.

Savings, we need to build up more our wealth into savings accounts. Making the interest on the first 100,000 in savings accounts tax free will give a valuable advantage to basic savings and incentivize people people to not borrow up to their eyeballs.

We have experienced a humbling lesson over the last couple of weeks, we are not out of the woods yet. The good news is that even if the whole thing does melt into the sewers, the human capital of this nation will allow us to rebuild. I hope it never comes to that but we remain the wealthiest society in human history but we need to manage our affairs better.

There is this dementia going around these days that "globalization" equals "centralization." We see it in the EU, we see it in any number of things. Clue bat: centralization tends toward monopoly, and monopoly ossifies. What's needed, as always, is healthy competition. That applies to banks, to business, and even to nations. Let a number of models exist, compete, and may the best one win.

What a warm, classy lady. The people of Alaska (well, 80% of them) are going to miss her over the next 4-12 years.

McCain and Palin need to help the American people draw the connections between, sub-prime cheap money, Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac the democrats favorite charity organizations. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank protected these two agencies from reform --- want proof ? Go visit Stockton Calif where most of the foreclosures are in the state from bad loans to mostly lower income people who thought nothing of buying homes they could not afford with the help of the Fannie and Freddie Democrat Welfare plan...

Dallas Mavericks' Josh Howard disrespects national anthem

In a video posted on YouTube, the swingman is shown at Allen Iverson's charity flag football game in July. When the national anthem is being sung, various participants are shown mugging for the camera. When the camera gets to Howard, he says: " 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black."

Howard goes on to make a difficult-to-discern comment that includes a reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Particularly when so many people get their "analysis" off "Daily Show", "Colbert Report" and "Bill Maher".

Valerie Bowman was born on November 14, 1956 in Shiraz, Iran, where her father, Dr. James Bowman, ran a hospital for poor children.[2] Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, is Professor Emeritus in Pathology and Medicine, University of Chicago.[3] Her mother, Barbara Bowman, is an early childhood education expert and co-founder of the Erikson Institute for child development.[2][4] Her maternal grandfather, Robert Taylor was the head of the Chicago Housing Authority in the 1940s.[5][6] At age 5, the family moved to London for one year, then returned to Chicago in 1963.

She received a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University in 1978, and a JD from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981.

She was married to William Robert Jarrett from 1983 to 1988. They had one child - a daughter - who is currently a Harvard Law student

OK.

She was excellent!

Part one was just ok. Part two was great.

I think she is such strong lady and I think she is being underestimated because of her looks and because she is not angry and loud like Billary! She did even better tonite than last nite and I have every confidence that each interview she does will be better and better. Go Palin!

Well put.

Jarrent continued to work in the mayor's office in the 1990s. She was Deputy Chief of Staff for Mayor Richard Daley, during which time (1991) she hired Michelle Robinson, then engaged to Barack Obama, away from a private law firm. Jarrett served Commissioner of the Department of Planning and Development from 1992 through 1995; and was Chair of the Chicago Transit Board from 1995 to 2003

According to the msm those who support Gov Palin are white trash? Pardon me, but that is UPSCALE white trash to you Obamatons.

Her first interview was hard.
Second was friendly and easy.
Third will be middle of the road.

She needed a friendly interview so people can see who she is and what she stands for.

GOTCHA questions don't really tell the whole story.

Hannity's not really soft-balling her. He's reaching for information. He's just not playing gotcha.

re: #92 allah this

Ugh! I think a Chris Wallace or Brit Hume would have been fine. They would have been polite but I trust they'd ask good questions too. Going with hannity just gives the lefties the talking point that she was handled with kid gloves, but they probably would say that about anyone from fox.

Dear Mr. Howard,

You are a multimillionaire who gets paid ridiculously sums of money for playing a game. Please feel free to move to a country where you won't have to put up with this [expletive] and where you can have the freedoms and lifestyle you enjoy here. Good luck finding one.

re: #104 Typicalwhitey

No, but if she's not getting rattled by any of them, then those gotcha's aren't going to have much of an effect and the transparency of those attempts becomes all the clearer.

I think the more gotchas attempted the better - toughens her up for 4+ years more of this nonsense. If McCain's people have done a good job vetting, there's no there there. And it exposes the media's bias even further.

I don't actually mind having a hostile media, if they're fair. That helps keep everyone on their toes and makes sure everyone is doing their job.

The problem is that this current media is hostile and biased in one direction and they think they're the deciders.

Hoping that some media outlets go soft to help doesn't help.

She did great, absolutely great! I especially like the "thick skin" comment. That goes for all those who think they'll get her to drop out by constantly attacking her.

hannity did great. it wasn't a gibson type interview, of course, because hannity likes her. he wants her to win and makes no bones abt. it.
these interviews were abt. letting gov. palin speak to the country w/ out some asshole trying to trip her up.

re: #125 buzzsawmonkey

One thought before I duck out:

Time was, "frontier" was a shorthand for the virtues that were considered to be essentially American.

Alaska is the closest thing to a frontier we still have. Yet it is precisely the fact that Sarah Palin is from this frontier area that her opponents are trying to use against her. "Small population," "hick mayor," "unfamiliar with the Big World," "unsophisticated": these are all ways in which her embodiment of the American frontier and its virtues are being belittled.

Will this be the election in which America overtly rejects its frontier roots for its landscaped roots in a planned suburban subdivision?

I live in a subdivision. It's been recently landscaped by the famous Carribbean blowhard, Ike.

So what part of my frontier heritage is at risk?

I dont know if this has been posted here yet or not, but I heard a this story today. Another violation of the Logan Act, Pelosi's trip to negotiate with terrorists being the first. Now Obama. He has some balls.

Can you blame him? If I woke up one morning and found that I was Alan Combs, I'd probably jump off a cliff.

So nice to have an interview where the editing didn't suck. And Alan Colmes has had two bad nights in a row, losing an argument to Karl Rove and being laughed at by Gingrich.

Somebody said last night they came away from this interview feeling like they knew her better, and I agree. So maybe it wasn't an "interview," but how many real interviews does Obama get? And we still don't have a good sense of who he is.

re: #150 DoubleU

There was talk about JP Morgan buying them out but that might have fallen through. Citibank might be interested also, but it didn't attract many bids.

I wish I had a dollar for every credit card offer junk mail I got from WaMu. I could pay for a vacation to Jamaica.

Yes.

Yep. And you know I'm not talking about ego. It's that 'comfortable in skin' thing. He just does NOT have it at all.

re: #123 EIDE_Interface

Short answer is not likely.

Your savings, checking, and money markets are safe - FDIC insured up to 100k (or more for joint accounts). SIPC protects certain kinds of investments.

Just stay cool. No need to start running to the bank on every rumor. That's what Chuck Schumer is for.

re: #151 EIDE_Interface

Look- while the man is obviously unattractive- he's ugly on the inside. This is the guy who tried to say Sarah Palin caused her son's Down syndrome because she traveled while pregnant.

If I was that cold hearted on the inside, I would hate myself.

re: #166 taxfreekiller

tfk thinks from the looks and body movement and eye motion and other keys that Alan Colmes is a severely depressed person, who is having trouble hiding it.

he's the most subordinate dog in the pack.

Biden says taxation is patriotic.

The Lord God only needs 10%; why am I (who makes well less than $70k a year) paying close to 25% already between fed, state, local, and social security taxes?

PLEASE, 527s, start taking the game to the Dems! We should be ahead by 10 points in the polls now.

re: #130 lawhawk

No, but if she's not getting rattled by any of them, then those gotcha's aren't going to have much of an effect and the transparency of those attempts becomes all the clearer.

I think the more gotchas attempted the better - toughens her up for 4+ years more of this nonsense. If McCain's people have done a good job vetting, there's no there there. And it exposes the media's bias even further.

I don't actually mind having a hostile media, if they're fair. That helps keep everyone on their toes and makes sure everyone is doing their job.

The problem is that this current media is hostile and biased in one direction and they think they're the deciders.

Hoping that some media outlets go soft to help doesn't help.

I am just saying that not all of her interviews should be hard ones.
I think that all of the candidates should have hard, soft and medium interviews. It lets you see how they react in each one.

For instance, if she was one way with Hannity and then a total shrew with Couric that would tell me that she can't handle the heat.
Compare and contrast.

I think she responded in the same manner with her first interview, although you could tell she was more nervous (as anyone would be in their first national interview) as she did in this interview.
In other words, she is who she is.

Sometimes I think Combs just acts so weak, like he can't attack. I also wonder if sometimes he knows something is wrong but has to take the other side.

Note that she unequivocally denied wanting to teach creationism. No waffling. Sigh of relief. Backs up what I've been writing.

Where do you hear that WaMu is going down?

That rumour ran rampant a month ago, and it wasn't true. WaMu has stated it has ample cash on hand; that reserves are solid; and their bad loans are a less than the original speculations.

re: #161 rp1138
