Have you heard the joke about the woman who was staring so intently at a man at the checkout line, he asked her, "Have we met?" She replied, "Yes, I think you're the father of one of my children."
He thought of the only time he had ever been unfaithful and he whispered to her, "Were you that stripper at the bachelor party I did on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped me with limp celery?"
To which she replied, "No, I'm your son's teacher."

Fannie & Freddie funneled congressmen at least $11,848,193 according to opensecrets.com. Those congressmen & women should be called on to return that money to the tax payers. That would reduce the liability to the taxpayers by almost 15% of the $80 bailout. There may be more given to the D&R NC'S, I got a bit overwhelmed with the numbers.
Then there's the $25MILLION that Raines got through what appears to be fraud... can't we get any of that back?
We need more men like Tom Colburn.

Today is talk like a pirate day.
Soooooo...
... I present:
Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Pirate
Monday:
"I'm going to rape and pillage today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."
Tuesday:
"I am not a fraud, a thief yes, but not a fraud."
Wednesday:
"I deserve all the loot and booty I can carry without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."
Thursday:
"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my eyepatch. My eyepatch is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small swatch of leather that covers a hideous scar."
Friday:
"When I overtake that merchants vessel, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a cutlass like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Blackbeard's son?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"
Saturday:
"Just because I indulge in wine and wenches does not mean I'm an alcoholic sex-addict like my father."
Sunday:
"If I must violently put down a mutiny today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my crew are a bunch of yellow-bellied, lily-livered sons-of-whores--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

Yes -- I'd seen that. Of course, the Democrats couldn't let Sarah Palin appear at this rally and be seen supporting Israel and standing strong against Iran -- too much risk that she'd dispel the myths about her being a Buchananite Israel-hater or a fundamentalist anti-Semite.
But I am hopeful that this bodes well for the GOP's chances with the Jewish vote this year: Oldest U.S. Voter Abroad Backs McCain.

As I understand it the Freddie/Fannie bailout consists, essentially, of a promise to back those organizations, and the promise is intended to allow them to operate. The $200 billion has not actually been spent, although it could be if things were to get worse at Fannie/Frieddie.

Web proxy firm working with FBI to trace Palin e-mail hacker
Ramuglia is now in the process of importing more than 80GB worth of log data into a database for analysis. He said he's reasonably confident he can help authorities sift through the logs and trace access back to the originating IP address -- especially because the self-professed hacker has admitted using just one proxy service to access Palin's account.
Also:
Palin Hackers(s) Traced to Obama's Hometown of Chicago
According to an internet security expert located in San Francisco, Gabriel Ramuglia, the Palin email hackers were careless and left a digital trail. That trail leads directly to a server site in Chicago which happens to be the city where all of Obama’s men plot their daily moves. Mr. Ramuglia says that their electronic signature will be easily obtained from the server logs at that site.

Summation:
"Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Republicans, Democrats and independents alike to oppose Ahmadinejad's goal of a nuclear armed Iran. Senator Obama's campaign had the opportunity to join us.

The letter sat unopened on the table by the door. It had been sitting there for nearly a week. Howard knew the return address and that is why it had sat for so long, untouched. That night, a cab pulled up in front of his ground floor apartment. Howard was in his pajamas, curled up in a ball on the couch, staring at the stuffed chipmunk on the mantle. He was suddenly startled by a knock at the door. A sense of fear and anticipation swept over him simultaneously. There was one person he wanted to see more than anyone else in the world,... the same person he never wanted to see again. If it was Susan, he would be furiously overwhelmed with joy and, at the same time, happy with his anger. He stood up and hesitated eagerly for the door...

By question #2 I had "figured out" the test and knew without doubt who had said which one. But as for the immigration question, I disagreed with/knew they were lying in both cases, so it was a empty choice. So I just chose McCain to screw with their heads.

It's fun but it's lame. The problem is that they focus on what the candidates SAY as opposed to their records (votes). What any politician running for office says is pretty much worthless.
Exactly. Also, they're focusing on a lot of (to me) peripheral issues. Gay marriage? Abortion? Gotta be frank: I don't freakin' care. I elect a president for one primary reason, and that is to protect this country. On that issue, McCain wins hands down. The culture wars stuff is irrelevant and off-topic to me. And, besides, the president really has little role in it.

That's the way I understand it to read at face value, but I'm not a Harvard lawyer. I've been trying to understand it better. There has been a lot of vandalism on those foreclosed inflated priced loans with less value after the bubble burst, before you even take into account the devastation left by an irresponsible borrower. From some of the anecdotal stories I've read, there could easily be more than $200 billion in lost asset value.
Am I paranoid if they're really after me?

This article I like, though. Especially this part:
An Associated Press voter survey conducted Sept. 5 found that among white women, 65 percent said Mrs. Palin shared their values, compared with 46 percent who said the same of Mr. Biden. A new Newsweek poll revealed support for Mr. McCain among white females is 53 percent, compared with 37 percent who favor Mr. Obama.
53%? He's screwed.

Now the 0bama campaign is saying McCain is lying again about the latest ad:
Obama's campaign says Raines is not an Obama adviser and that McCain's campaign knows it because Raines said so in an e-mail earlier this week to Carly Fiorina, a top McCain adviser. Obama's campaign provided The Associated Press with a copy of the e-mail.
"Carly: Is this true?" Raines asks above a forwarded note informing him that Fiorina was on television saying he was an Obama housing adviser. "I am not an adviser to the Obama campaign. Frank."
Obama's campaign says Fiorina did not respond.
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said he was not aware of the e-mail to Fiorina, but noted that the Post reported on three occasions, between July 16 and Aug. 28, that Raines was advising Obama.
"If he was not advising, obviously someone somewhere along the way should have corrected the record," Rogers said.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said he has since asked the Post for a correction. Burton said Obama only met Raines once briefly at an event, and that Raines sought an introductory meeting with Obama Senate aide Mike Strautmanis. At that meeting, Burton said no advice was sought from or given by Raines, who also had served as President Clinton's budget director.
"This is another flat-out lie from a dishonorable campaign that is increasingly incapable of telling the truth," Burton said. "Frank Raines has never advised Senator Obama about anything—ever."

MOSCOW — Russia's two main stock exchanges opened, then closed, then opened again Friday, the most extreme example of the volatility that is hitting the world's financial markets.The MICEX and RTS had been closed since Wednesday after stocks plummeted. Within an hour of the reopening, prices were up so steeply that authorities stopped trading again, in line with exchange rules.
Trading restarted for a second time an hour after that, and stocks continued to climb.
MICEX, where most share trading takes place, was up 23.1 percent on the day, while the RTS rose 15.5

Well, don't say 'Nobody', Harry. George Bush knew what to do! Showing the same gumption, resourcefulness and leadership that gave us The Surge, Bush and his team crafted a solution based on the Savings And Loan Bailout of the 80's. The market took off like a shot, giving the Dow its biggest one-day percentage gain in almost six years.
So how did the media react?
When Bush's solution made the market go up, the media got Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in front of the television cameras a.s.a.p. just so we dumb peasants can see where the real leadership is coming from. The media manufactured a reality that the Democrats had anything to do with alleviating this crisis.

You may find this interesting. I was preparing to send emails to these organizations, and I thought it would be good to include the pic of Sarah Palin's office that showed the small Israeli flag in the window. I went to Yahoo and searched images for "Palin Israel Flag" and initially got (only) two links to pictures, and these were only thumbnails. I then searched "Obama Israel Flag" and got two pages of pictures (note some of them were of burning American flags). I then went back and re-searched "Palin Israel Flag", not two minutes later, and the search returned ZERO images!
Question for Charles and anyone else who if familiar with how these search engines work: WTF happened?
By the way, I have the screenshot of my first "Palen Israel Flag" search from cache. Also, once I find the "office" picture I'm looking for the I'm sending the emails to these orgs. that disinvited Palen, urging them to "grow a pair" and do the right thing.

The office picture I had seen with Palin incorrectly identifies the Alaska state flag as the Israeli one. I'm not sure if there's another flag in her office not in the shot, but the Alaska state flag is dark blue with a series of yellow stars forming the Big Dipper on it. Israel's is mostly white with a light blue star of david and a horizontal blue stripe above and below the star of david.

The break-in of Palin's private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses nongovernment e-mail to conduct state business. Previously disclosed e-mails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government e-mail, which could possibly be released under Alaska's Open Records Act.
But never mention that the hacker found nothing except personal correspondence. What responsible journalism.

eon Fri, Sep 19, 2008 4:50:07am |
Good morning, Lizards.
Pirates. Arrr.
Fun facts;
1. The "Golden Age Of Piracy" only lasted about four decades, from the initial outbreak of piracy following the end of Queen Anne's War (between England and Spain) in 1690, when many privateers turned rogue, to the end of the era in 1730, with the hanging of "Calico Jack" Rackham, the last of the major pirates.
2. The "Spanish Main" was not the OPAREA of the majority of the "famous" pirates. The great Spanish treasure convoys belonged to the Elizabethan era- Sir Francis Drake's time. The treasure ships found in the West Atlantic at this time were mainly Portuguese, and coming out of Brazil. By the "Golden Age", there was far richer "booty" to be had in the Indian Ocean (raiding the treasure ships of various Indian potentates) and off the west coast of Africa (everything from gold and spices to slaves). Captain Kidd never even entered the Caribbean- the nearest he got was taking on water and a few recruits at St. Cristobal, in the Bermudas, enroute to the Cape of Good Hope to go to work off the coast of India.
3. Speaking of William Kidd, his "career" lasted 27 months, and he "took" a total of four "ships"- three of them fishing boats. He was sent out as a licensed privateer by the British East India Company to harass Indian shipping, with a duly-authorized letter of marque and a specially- built ship, the Adventure Galley (yes, it had oars and everything- handy in the light airs of the Indian Ocean).The one major prize he seized, the Quedagh Merchant (which he renamed the Adventure Prize after taking it over- because his own ship had been built with unseasoned timber, and was literally rotting under his feet) turned out to be the property of.... the British East India Company, his employers. He apparently didn't bother to read the ship's papers until after he'd killed its officers. (Needless to say, neither his former employers, or the British Crown, were amused by this.) The Royal Navy hunted him down, and he was hanged at Admiralty Dock (below the tide line, of course). While considered a "legendary" pirate today, in his own time, Kidd was considered a joke- while a competent ship-handler, he was definitely out of his depth as an independent operator.
3. The Greatest Pirate Of Them All was neither Kidd, nor Edward Teach aka Blackbeard. It was a fellow named Bartholomew Roberts, who in 30 months (from June 1719 to 10 Feb 1722) captured over 400 ships and ravaged commerce from the coast of Brazil to West Africa. His end came when a Royal Navy frigate, on cornering his ship, the Royal Fortune, fired its broadside right into same, and Roberts was killed by a blast of grapeshot. BTW, Roberts was the prototype of both "The Dread Pirate Roberts" in The Princess Bride, and Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
(Of course, the real article would have eaten either of his fictional versions for breakfast and picked his teeth with their ribs. Arr, matey.)
Actually, I feel a bit like a pirate today, seeing as how I scored 100% John McCain on the ABC match thing.
Have to go. Have a great day, Lizards.

BTW, don't expect anything approaching even-handedness from The Tennessean. It's a lap-dog of the state's Democrats. Years ago when I lived in the metro area and long before I became a Lizard, I knew it was as useful as tits on a boar hog when it came to reporting fairly about politics.

Of course. I wouldn't trust any poll from a partisan outfit like Kos Kooks. But you know, I also discount polls from Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, too.
Maybe because I live in Florida, I have a very sanguine view that McCain/Palin will win. I suspect it'll be over 300 EVs.
Next week, when foreign affairs takes the centre stage again, you will see that the poll numbers will favour the Repubs again.

I'd say Wisconsin is another.
NY and NJ are only in play because the averages got down to "only" a 5 point or so Obama lead... if that's really "in play" then all the presumably "safe" states with small margins are, too.

NJDC Calls for Withdrawal of Palin Invitation to Iran Rally
Monday’s protest against Ahmadinejad is too important to be tainted by partisanship. Unfortunately, the campaign of Senator John McCain is much more interested in scoring political points than insuring there is bipartisan solidarity around the anti- Ahmadinejad efforts. Therefore, we call upon the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations to withdraw the invitation to Governor Sarah Palin and we applaud Senator Hillary Clinton’s decision to not attend the rally after the attendance of Palin was announced.By withdrawing Palin’s invitation, the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations will be able to return the focus to America’s outrage towards the genocidal musings and nuclear ambitions of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

It started with Jack Cafferty on Monday, followed by Sebelius' ridiculous "Has anyone noticed that he is black?" (no, not one single person had, Kathy), and is coming on strong right now.
It's ridiculous. The Dems do this every time too. They choose the wrong guy to head their ticket, and then start to look for excuses as to why they don't win.

Great post at Israpundit
I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:9In his book, “Why the Jews?”, Dennis Prager describes in chapter 5 such anti-semitic Jews as Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein as well as Karl Marx and Trotsky. He describes them as alienated from their Jewish roots as well as from their surrounding society. These Jewish radicals have embraced and cause general antisemitism. It is shameful to learn that in their zeal to accomodate the socialist (Hillary) and embrace the Communist (Barack Obama) the NJDC has cut with a double edged sword.
With one stroke, they have diminished the solidarity of both parties in standing with Israel and the Jewish People against the modern Haman and they have insulted a friend of Israel, Sarah Palin. They have allowed Hillary’s narcissism to interfere with the mission. Not only did Hillary refuse to share the stage with Sarah Palin, but now her fans have caused the organizers to disrespect the Governor of Alaska. It must be confusing to a righteous gentile to be disrespected by the very people to whom she feels indebted for her Bible (the NT was written by Jewish followers of Yeshua) and their savior. She also would embrace Genesis 12:3 “I will bless them who bless you and curse those who curse you”. In seeking to bless and support the Jewish people she has been rejected by the Jezebel spirit, who lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for 8 years!
It should be noted that in 2007, John McCain was the only candidate for President who spoke at the Washington Christians United for Israel Summit. That was at the nadir of his campaign and he was considered all but out of the running. But as per Genesis 12:3,by standing for Israel, even with the ambushed Pastor John Hagee, John McCain was blessed with the favor of the Almighty! His choice of Sarah Palin was another pro-Israel signal as well as pro traditional Judeo Christian values.
Michael Savage ( a Jew ) has denoted liberalism to be a mental disorder. Insofar as the Jewish soul detached from G-d quickly seeks to fill the void with a humanist idolatry, the Jewish leftist radical is doubly damned. Condemned by his society and by a just G-d.
The insanity of the Democratic party embracing Obama has infected usually benign liberal Jews with an unclean spirit.As Joe Lieberman said at the 2008 CUFI Summit in Washington this summer, I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me. This is not the party of JFK, LBJ, Harry Truman (the first to recognize Israel and usher her into the family of nations). Barack Obama has functionally disabled the democratic party and destroyed a true two party system in this country.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad. The doomocrats combined with the guilt ridden liberal anti-Israel Jews in Israel, are insane enough to frustrate even the Almighty as He seeks to fulfill His everlasting, unconditional covenant with Abram, through Isaac, Jabob and the Nation of Israel.

Quite so.
Personally, I think Obama's team leaned on Hillary, and she caved in. A lot of her supporters visibly jumped ship this week (Rothschild, Trump, John Coales -- Greta van Susteren's hubby!), and they wanted to rein her in.
I read the Hillary Clinton Forums these days (they are very pro-McCain/Palin), and they were dumbfounded that she did this.

It is a little mystifying, for the reason you said, GG. But I'm guessing she has to pay them some kind of lipservice to keep up appearances.
I recently blogged about this, that she was in Florida campaigning for Obama this week. One of my readers said, doesn't that say it all -- IN FLORIDA.

I'd like to visit the Roosevelt house at Sagamore Hill. I've seen a short commercial on AFN about 1,000 times and it looks like a worthwhile place to visit.
AFN (Armed Forces Network) is commercial free TV and radio. It keeps the cost down to near nothing for AFN to broadcast TV shows, sports, and movies. The deal is that the networks give the programing away for next to nothing in return for a ban on commercial advertising. To fill the gaps, AFN self-produces community interest and safety commercials. Mostly they're awful acting, but some are funny anyway. My favorites are the State Capitol and Historical landmark spots.

Oh, I agree with you. I don't think the Dems recognize that yet though. What I was specifically referring to was the new-found if grudging respect for Hillary that many women feel over the way she handled the bum's rush the Dems gave her in the end. She might have turned that to her advantage down the road. Now, not so much. She looks like nothing more than a tool for The One, being a good little girl and marching to orders, just like she put up with the public humiliation by hubby and the blue dress.

How powerful a message to the world this could have been if these two women could have shared a stage and voiced the same protest of Amadinnerjacket and Iran. Shouldn’t the dimmicrats be screaming for a shared stage in order to boost US image with the world? Isn’t that loss of prestige and “world” approval a rallying cry of the left?

why it is that Hillary is allowing herself to be reigned in and dictated to by His Majesty the Husseini.
You have to understand, she has a plan. The Clinton's always have a plan.
When Obama loses the election, she is placed perfectly for 2012. She imagines that McCain will not do well. Probably not his fault, just the bad economic times that loom over the next 4 years no matter who is at the helm. Even if he does well, he will probably be too old for a second term. SO that leaves her as the "I told you so" democratic candidate, AND probably running against the VP Sarah Palin. Not an easy score, but better that waiting until 2016.
Many feminists have seen this as well, and the idea that 2012 could be "girl on girl" is very exciting. Supporting McCain now just might guarantee a Woman as President in 2012.

Once upon a time, somebody tried to fix this problem before it became a crises:
September 11, 2003
New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
By STEPHEN LABATON
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.
The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.
The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt -- is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
But guess what happened? The Dems in Congress blocked it!
Among the groups denouncing the proposal today were the National Association of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing.
''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''
Would it surprise you to learn, Barney Frank is a big supporter of B. H. Obama?

Morning, all!
Just one thing I've been hearing on the teewee for the last couple of days from Paulson, regarding the finance disasters, that is highly misleading. He says something like, "The root of all these problems is the decrease in housing prices." Wrong! The root of all these problems is the bubble-induced increase in housing prices, that was not supported by market fundamentals, but by Greenspan-induced cheap money and the moral hazard of government bailing-out Wall Street when they made a bad bet.
Enough of our major corporate leaders let this go to their heads, that the entire financial system is now in tatters, being held together by unprecedented and heroic actions by a handfull of people.
I see Paulson is now guarantying the money-market funds, since otherwise millions of customers would be taking a haircut, and there would be bank runs on all the funds. Paulson seems to be keeping his head on, when all around are losing theirs. Good man, and thank God, but he's still wrong with the way he talks about real estate prices. I suppose he might know that, but simply be condensing things for the press, it's almost kind of correct.

Especially since the cash funds are in danger of collapse! Except now the Fed is offering to guaranty them - but the principle only, I'm sure. Interest on them was already abysmally low, and now may be zero for the forseeable future.
The thing is, WFC may be in good shape and ready to buy stuff at discount prices, but that's also buying uncertainty and risk, which is not generally a good thing for the stock price near-term. For reference, see BAC!

I think we understand now why Obama does not want any congressional commission looking into the financial crises.

More than that, the fact that several Obama campaign officials & even Obama himself received preferential mortgages from these institutions might be seen as, dare I say this about the Golden One... corrupt.

who is behind the downfall of AIG? Why it's none other than Eliot Spizter.
Republicans need to make and AD and spread the word.
As America was racing toward the nationalization of what is left of American International Group, we couldn't help think of Eliot Spitzer. Among all his mistakes, it's hard to think of one more catastrophic than his decision to force Maurice "Hank" Greenberg out of the leadership of AIG. The picture since then has not been a pretty one. As Mr. Greenberg put it yesterday in a letter, "In a little over a year, I, and other shareholders, have watched the company that I helped build over 35 years into the largest and most successful insurance company in history and one of the strongest and one of the most profitable companies in the world lose over 90% of its value."It would have been another matter had Mr. Spitzer — or anyone else — found any wrong-doing by Mr. Greenberg. But they didn't. Instead, Mr. Spitzer's raid on AIG resulted in the installation of new management that, one can say at this point, just wasn't up to the job. As Mr. Greenberg put it in his letter yesterday to AIG's chief executive, Robert Willumstad: "Despite repeated assurances from management and the company that everything was under control, it is now clear that nothing was under control."

That the head of obambis VP search team was a former fannie leader who got millions when he left.
That another advisor to obambi was a former fannie person who got millions after running fannie into the ground.
Said obama should take responsibility for helping to create this mess since he is the second largest beneficiary of fannie money.

"I am convinced that the persecution of the Jew is not due in any large degree to religious prejudice. No, the Jew is a money-getter; and in getting his money he is a very serious obstruction to less capable neighbors who are on the same quest. I think that that is the trouble.In estimating worldly values the Jew is not shallow, but deep. With precocious wisdom he found out in the morning of time that some men worship rank, some worship heroes, some worship power, some worship God, and that over these ideals they dispute and cannot unite - but that they all worship money; so he made it the end and aim of his life to get it.
He was at it in Egypt thirty-six centuries ago; he was at it in Rome when that Christian got persecuted by mistake for him; he has been at it ever since. The cost to him has been heavy; his success has made the whole human race his enemy - but it has paid, for it has brought him envy, and that is the only thing which men will sell both soul and body to get.

I wish McCain would have said the names and numbers of the bill that he proposed in 2005. I think when candidates just say that they proposed legislation people just think it is blah, blah, same ole same ole. But if he would give people something they could actually look at (if they took the time) it would be much more clear. Most people do not research actual legislation.
I think McCain should do an ad laying out the actual bill he tried to have passed in 2005 and do a mailing.

I wish McCain would have said the names and numbers of the bill that he proposed in 2005. I think when candidates just say that they proposed legislation people just think it is blah, blah, same ole same ole. But if he would give people something they could actually look at (if they took the time) it would be much more clear. Most people do not research actual legislation.
I think McCain should do an ad laying out the actual bill he tried to have passed in 2005 and do a mailing.

re: #528 Honorary Yooper
I'll be quite honest, I've never cared for the short selling. I've watched what it has done to other stocks, outside the financial services, and it's disgusting, IMHO.
I couldn't agree more - it took me quite a while to wrap my head around the idea that you could sell something you didn't own, and even longer to understand how you could do it.
But all that aside I think the entire process grossly distorts the performance of the market and since the market is taken, rightly or wrongly, to be a barometer of the economy it also distorts the public perception of the economy and renders that perception subject to manipulation by those who control the flow of public information (the MSM) and those with lots of money to throw around (Soros and his ilk). So maybe since, in the short run anyway, this will almost certainly cause the market to surge it may benefit the Republican ticket?

$42,000.00, as I can attest to, is not rich in the least. Obama wants to raise taxes on the avergae working person.
Some things Obama never explains:
70% of Americans now invest.
he proposes taxing those investments, which are at 15% right now, to at least 25%.
How is that helping Americans?
Raising taxes on business costs the American taxpayer in the price of goods.
So how is that helping Americans?
Taxing those earning over 250,000 per year.
Why that the magic number?
He cannot, I repeat cannot give tax breaks to 95% of Americans.
Get a clue Obama:
The top 1% pay over a third, 34.27% of all income taxes. (Up from 2003: 33.71%) The top 5% pay 54.36% of all income taxes (Up from 2002: 53.80%). The top 10% pay 65.84% (Up from 2002: 65.73%). The top 25% pay 83.88% (Down from 2002: 83.90%). The top 50% pay 96.54% (Up from 2002: 96.50%). The bottom 50%? They pay a paltry 3.46% of all income taxes (Down from 2002: 3.50%). The top 1% is paying nearly ten times the federal income taxes than the bottom 50%!

The Dems, who have avoided this issue like the plague, seemingly are in the catbird seat in pinning this on Bush/McCain... I think it is work, it will stick and it drive the further spread of socialism into America with an Obama election...
McCain's campaign has GOT to pin things back on the Dems... Will the media support him in the venture? Will the American people see through the empty Dem rhetoric? Or will they see that government has failed, blame George Bush and John McCain and move to the left, possible for good? Time is short, it's time to get moving...

A couple years ago, a large paver working on Autobahn 3 near Aschafenberg (not to far from Frankfurt) struck a WWII bomb killing the operator, destroyed the construction equipment, and made LA-style bad traffic into a real nightmare. Happens every year.
I am stationed at Hohenfels, a large maneuver training area. We find UXO, unexploded ordinance, all the time. Every time it rains, old shells, mortars, and bombs just "float" to the surface. Luckily, we haven't had a find go "boom" until we put EOD on it and clean it up deliberately.

How is that helping Americans?
A similar question I had for Nancy Pelosi back in 2004 when she said that Bush's social security private investment plan was just Bush pandering to his Big Corporation Cronies: Bush wants to set aside the money we take from people for retirement, and even invest it. Congress currently takes it and spends it on entitlements and assistance packages to our good friends in Iran, etc. How is the second better for Americans than the first? Is there any financial advisor in the country that would think it's a good idea for me to spend the money I have in my retirement account?

Bill Clinton interview
Says McCain is a great man and it is a mistake to underestimate Palin.
Said the obama/biden ticket is "more right" on the issues.
Did not say that McCain/Palin were "wrong" on the issues.
Where was this magnanimous statesmanship and even-handed assessment when he was President for eight years?
You know, a guy who's a whole-cloth Asshole like Bin Laden, fine, he is what he is, but what really torques me is a guy like Billy C who is perfectly capable of being a great guy, and yet, he isn't. GWB is similar, perhaps more infuriatingly so, because on some days he makes a great President and most other day's he's the biggest f-ckin' idiot on television. I don't get it.

re: #629 cliffster
A similar question I had for Nancy Pelosi back in 2004 when she said that Bush's social security private investment plan was just Bush pandering to his Big Corporation Cronies: Bush wants to set aside the money we take from people for retirement, and even invest it. Congress currently takes it and spends it on entitlements and assistance packages to our good friends in Iran, etc. How is the second better for Americans than the first? Is there any financial advisor in the country that would think it's a good idea for me to spend the money I have in my retirement account?
My father in law worked 40 years for the shipyard (and paid in social security). He retired at 65 and 1 year later he got cancer and died. If all those 40 years of retirement payments were in a private account, his wife would have all that money. Now the government gives her a very small pittance of the money.

re: #579 Typicalwhitey
He cannot, I repeat cannot give tax breaks to 95% of Americans.
He cannot give federal income tax breaks to 95% of Americans for the reason you posted (40% of the country pays no federal income tax). There's a component in his "plan" called "making work pay." In a nutshell, it's a tax credit for having a job. So, in addition to increasing the number of people who don't pay any federal income tax, Obama's "plan" is to increase the number of people on the government dole. He will do this at the (exorbitant) expense of the wealthiest, most productive citizens.
While it might sound attractive to some, no one absorbs a five, six or seven figure confiscation of his income without making changes. Whether it's cutting back spending, or in the case of small business owners (and roughly 3/4 of us work for them), cutting back raises or laying off workers, the Obama tax "plan" will have a disastrous effect on the U.S. economy. Lower tax rates mean nothing if you don't have a job.

re: #586 eschew_obfuscation
Especially when you consider that a LOT of 'S' corporations (small businesses) earn that kind of money and increasing their taxes will have a big impact on employment.
It's worse if you're an LLC. In addition to raising the federal income tax, Obama's "plan" calls for removing the cap on the FICA tax for those earning over $250,000 (an additional tax of 2-4 % is being proposed). If you're an LLC member in a small business. ALL of your income (as opposed to an S corporation shareholder) is subject to self-employment tax (most of which is FICA tax).

Stomping or burning your flag, not wearing a lapel pin, not showing the proper decorum at the singing of the national anthem, etc...not meeting with your troops. What a sad state of affairs.

The OPTION
You don't have to but you can if you want.
And for those who don't want to take the option, the federal government should get a giant mattress where all that money can be stuffed. Instead of spending everyone's retirement on their pet projects.

re: #704 David Simon
He cannot give federal income tax breaks to 95% of Americans for the reason you posted (40% of the country pays no federal income tax). There's a component in his "plan" called "making work pay." In a nutshell, it's a tax credit for having a job. So, in addition to increasing the number of people who don't pay any federal income tax, Obama's "plan" is to increase the number of people on the government dole. He will do this at the (exorbitant) expense of the wealthiest, most productive citizens.
While it might sound attractive to some, no one absorbs a five, six or seven figure confiscation of his income without making changes. Whether it's cutting back spending, or in the case of small business owners (and roughly 3/4 of us work for them), cutting back raises or laying off workers, the Obama tax "plan" will have a disastrous effect on the U.S. economy. Lower tax rates mean nothing if you don't have a job.
Furthermore, while Obama talks about giving "tax cuts" to 95%, he fails to mention the increased costs & taxation that his various other plans, particularly universal health care, will result in for everyone of any pay grade. Something like that extra Medicare tax that we now all pay on top of Social Security.

Good morning,
Someone I know pointed out that the only outfit that has been allowed to go to the wall has been Lehman Bros. They asked "Is it something to get the Jews?" I dismissed the charge but I do see 4 powerful sources of anti-Semitism converging. They are Black jealousy, Paleocon isloationism, Islamic oil fueled influence and elite Marxist Populism against entrepeneurs and "Jewish Finance." It would not shock me to see some of the economic and policy team from Bush 41 (think Scowcroft) slide over to support Obama.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Stocks surged Friday morning as investors hailed news that the federal government is working on a plan to help take the bulk of the credit crunch burden off banks.
In the first minutes of trading the Dow Jones industrial average added 400 points. About 40 minutes into the session it was up about 310 points, or 2.8 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was up about 2.9 percent. The Nasdaq composite was up about 2.3 percent.

Good morning Ojoe! Uh, hate to say this but you're incorrect there.

Studies have shown (sorry, can't find the links) that banks - at least in NY State - usually lose about 35% of the principal amount of the loan if they have to sell at foreclosure, cause folks who bid at foreclosure won't even bid the TRUE market value, they are all out looking for a bargain themselves.

A young sailor was talking to an old pirate in a bar. The pirate had a hook hand, a peg leg, and an eye patch.
"So, how'd you lose the leg?" asked the sailor.
"We was caught in a squall, I got swept overboard, an' fore me mates could fish me out, a shark swam up & bit off me leg!"
"Wow!" said the sailor. "And the hand?"
"We boarded a freighter, there was a fight. Cap'n was good with a sword, an' jus' fore I ran him through, he cut off me other hand!"
"What adventures!" said the sailor. "So, how about the eye?"
"Seagull dropping fell in me eye."
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?"
"Well, it was me first day with the hook ..."
My second favorite pirate joke:
A pirate walks into a bar. He has a steering wheel sticking out of his fly.
The bartender says, "Excuse me, but do you know you have a steering wheel sticking out of your fly?"
"Aahhhrrr!" says the pirate. "It's drivin' me nuts!"

My father in law worked 40 years for the shipyard (and paid in social security). He retired at 65 and 1 year later he got cancer and died. If all those 40 years of retirement payments were in a private account, his wife would have all that money. Now the government gives her a very small pittance of the money.
You really want to get pissed? Had the average working person's FICA taxes (employer and employee) been put in an individual trust fund for his benefit only and invested in risk-free U.S. treasuries, he'd be a millionaire at normal retirement age.

AWESOME post on hotair:
It's voting "present" when action is required;
It shows a complete lack of belief and principle -see which way the wind is blowing before making up your mind.
Either he knows what he believes is right to do, or he doesn't. He obviously doesn't.
Clueless.

Amendments, yes. There has been talk for quite some years now, though, of a complete rewrite.
A) "Talk"? Please quantify; B) Not gonna happen. C) He wouldn't get to just sit down and rewrite the Constitution all by his lonesome, either.

Even a President Obama would not get to dictate what the Constitution means.
No, but he would have a lot to say about the makeup of the Supreme Court for the forseeable future. And they are the ones that determine what the Constitution means.

No, it's an electric stove, I wish it were gas.
Now I'll be able to do something other than "broil".
Had to wait to get a Jenn-Air - it's the only maker that makes what I have to have without major renovations - a "slide-in", with "down-draft" vent.
I have a twenty-five year old electric Jenn-Air. The fan has gone out on mine so now I can't use the convection, self cleaning or exhaust features. Need to replace it, but the house is for sale and I figure the new buyers can do that.

re: #718 WriterMom
It's utterly Orwellian that these moonbat lefties have convinced themselves and then try to convince others that the most direspectful things they could possibly do in your glorious country are the sign of the greatest respect for it. Stomping or burning your flag, not wearing a lapel pin, not showing the proper decorum at the singing of the national anthem, etc...not meeting with your troops. What a sad state of affairs. What a disgrace it would be to the United States to have such an arrogant, empty a-hole at the helm of your government-a position he would no doubt use to further invert America's democratic and freedom loving society.
how can someone, like obama still be in the race? it is frightening.
just his rejection and public disrespect, alone, of the symbol of our country, should have been enough to get this moron bounced, early on.

I hear ya, and it sucks if you're at one of the investment houses, but much of the problems were not only self-inflicted (by not properly recognizing risks from sub primes), but because the government and Congress leaned on those same lenders to lend to those who could not repay.
So we all now will pay.

Who Watches the Watchmen? Fri, Sep 19, 2008 7:43:10am |
The New Yorker's editorial page is really off the wall this week. Steve Coll obviously doesn't realize how heavily edited the ABC interview was.
In the ABC sessions, she told Gibson that when McCain invited her to join his ticket, “I didn’t hesitate. . . . You can’t blink. . . . I didn’t blink.” Palin leaned forward, radiating nervous energy. Gibson, with his large frame, sonorous voice, and reading glasses perched low on his nose, loomed over his subject, presenting an unfortunate image of male professorial condescension as he ticked through foreign-policy issues that he clearly knew better than Palin did. Even so, the Governor’s anxious-sounding answers to his questions produced more than enough awkward moments to justify McCain’s decision to hold her back for study hall. Palin seemed uncertain, for example, about the meaning of the Bush Doctrine, which has laid out the most important changes in American defense policy since the end of the Cold War. She sounded a little nonchalant, too, when Gibson pointed out that her advocacy of membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for the small Caucasus state of Georgia might lead the United States into war with Russia, which is a nuclear-armed state. “Perhaps so,” Palin said....Diversity of religious belief is an American strength, and none of Palin’s statements remotely disqualify her from national office. Still, the YouTube version of the Governor’s idiosyncratic narrative of faith, ambition, motherhood, and frontier life has a slightly different ring from the received version, which débuted at the Republican Convention last month; the video does not evoke “Northern Exposure” so much as it does “There Will Be Blood.” There are about fifty days left until a national election of unusual consequence; perhaps there is still time for journalists to fully vet what McCain did not.

Furthermore, while Obama talks about giving "tax cuts" to 95%, he fails to mention the increased costs & taxation that his various other plans, particularly universal health care, will result in for everyone of any pay grade. Something like that extra Medicare tax that we now all pay on top of Social Security.
I see you've read his health care plan. The new reporting requirements and bureaucracies it would create is mind boggling.
