For each vote, we'll give that organization $2.

Wow. It sure gets quiet around here this time in the morning!

It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don’t put psychotics in high places and we’ve got the problem solved.

The Greenlining Institute: Does the financial crisis have its origins in Berkeley?

Yesterday I followed a link to a new article by Matthew Vadum which named The Greenlining Institute (among similar nonprofits) as the actual cause of the current financial crisis threatening the US economy. I did a double-take: The Greenlining Institute? You mean the one in Berkeley? Answer: Yes. The very same.

[pic of Greenlining Institute headquarters.]
I (and countless other people) often zip past the nondescript office on Berkeley’s University Avenue containing the Greenlining Institute — one passes it on the way in and out of the city, as University leads from the freeway to downtown and the U.C. campus.

Unlike most people, though, several months ago I took note of the office as I passed it one day, and asked myself, “The Greenlining Institute” — what the hell is that? When I got home, out of curiosity I googled it and spent a couple minutes trying to decipher their Web site, to little avail. A very few other scattered articles seemed to indicate that the Greenlining Institute existed solely to bully banks and financial institutions into giving loans to otherwise unqualified minority borrowers.

...etc.

Anyone know where I can find a video of Gore's infamous sigh and rolling of the eyes during the first presidential debate of 2000? I've always heard about it but have never seen it myself. I'm not turning anything up on youtube.

Janet H. Brown, Executive Director
Commission on Presidential Debates
RE: Choice of Gwen Ifill as Moderator of the 2008 Vice Presidential Debates

At what point does an establishment like the United States media find the collective sense of honesty to look upon itself and realize that it has strayed far, far away from what could even conceivably be considered a sense of objectivity? The fact that so many individuals working at newspapers, news stations, and other media outlets, have a very thinly veiled, if veiled at all, desire to see liberal minded people take control of our nation, is fairly well documented in the colloquial sense. The fact that those people are more quickly advanced through the ranks than their conservative counterparts, is made clear by the case-in-point of this election season - the undeniable desire of the media at large for Barack Obama to win the Presidential election.

That many in the media at large try to deny this is simply silly. But for someone like Gwen Ifill to be appointed as "moderator" of the upcoming Vice Presidential debates, is an insult to the collective intelligence of the American people. And once again John McCain has taken the high road when he should be lashing out against the clear inequity. Shame on you, Janet Brown, for allowing this to happen. Shame on you, for submitting to the putrification of intellectual discourse in America, caused by you and thousands of other media representatives that are supposed to be closely guarding the gates of objectivity among those who control information in our fine nation.

It's at the BBC. It was pretty fleeting, actually.

Go to the BBC site and search for the word "debates." They have all the highlights dating back to 1960.

They should get an academic to moderate. Someone who has confined themselves to writing biographies of Presidents who have been dead for over 50 years. The role of moderator is rediculous anyway. A timekeeper to keep track of whether one side is hogging th emicrophone makes sense. Otherwise the two adults should just respond to each other. That would make it a debate.

Anybody see Greta tonite?

She just had a clip of a guy that painted a nude picture of Saracuda and hung it up at his wifes' bar. Said he used his daughter as the model.

Sadly no, but if the water makes it back to the ocean it probably would cause a massive environmental disaster...

Boy, it almost seems as if the left in this country considers the '08 elections its final assault, does it not? They seem to have spent the last eight years scouring for the vulnerable and the weak-willed amongst us, and are ready to take it to the house, so to speak. I think they're supremely confident that the media will successfully keep their egregious transgressions of the past under wraps long enough to pull off a victory in November. Time for us all to buck up, and shove their shit right back in their sanctimonious pieholes.

Yes indeed. I am not a big baseball fan but I lived near NYC and always read the NYDN and NYT (spit) and hadn't heard anything at all about him so he must have been just cruising along and enjoying himself and staying out of baseball stuff cause I thought he was gone years ago.
Then come the final game at Yankee Stadium and I guess he couldn't resist. I believe he was there with whitey ford and some other Yankees from the past.

It has to pass the House to get to the Senate. No way in hell is the House going to approve any bailout bill this close to an election with 100:1 emails/calls against it. 9% Nancy is toast.

My guess is that the dems voted against it because they were forced to take most of their pork out of it. Now they will try to sneak it and ten times more back in it in some treasonous closed door secret underhanded deal...

9% Nancy's next ploy will be to load it up with as much pork as possible to get 12 more Dems, but it won't work this close to an election. The people would see it as a cynical ploy - and those 12 that voted YES would lose their seats. No Dem or Rep is going to commit political suicide to help 9% Nancy.

SEC suspends Market-to-Market.

The current environment has made questions surrounding the determination of fair value particularly challenging for preparers, auditors, and users of financial information. The SEC's Office of the Chief Accountant and the staff of the FASB have been engaged in extensive consultations with participants in the capital markets, including investors, preparers, and auditors, on the application of fair value measurements in the current market environment.
