Wanna Party!

If you're gonna be around NY city on Oct. 16, and have at least $500 to spare, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel are uniting for the first time to perform a joint concert on behalf of the Obama campaign. BaROCK ON!

Palin Failin'

Fareed Zakaria adds his voice to the chorus on the Palin disaster here. Others have already called for her removal from the ticket, though it is now probably too late for that.

Meanwhile, word is that President Hoover-Bush is going to speak to the nation yet again this morning on matters about which he evokes neither sincerity nor intelligence --- shut your %#$*&!! doofus face you fool --- what part of every-time-you-speak-you-make-matters-worse don't you comprehend. When will the Republicans put a muzzle on the chowder-brain, lest he do yet more harm? Just let the real thinkers and doers do their job, and cast the boneheaded Prez rhetoric far far aside.

Computer Ballot-Rigging Redux

More on 2004 election tampering here.

Que Pasa

Que pasa everyone... Don't panic folks, stay calm; our lameduck hippy-dippy Doofus-and Chief is right on top of things (...surely that there instills a blissful sense of confidence and security in you?). A deal will get done; a deal better than the swill so far put on the table.

BTW, Dennis Kucinich's take on things here.

Bush-Bin Laden Team

Quite the tag team: one works to destroy America from within, while the other seeks to destroy America from the outside.
Meanwhile, some Congressmen actually showed a backbone today (refusing to cave to Republican bribes or blackmail) and rebuked the so-called "plan" put forth by the Administration as an emergency measure... HAAAAAA!! Stiiiill awaitin' to see brokers/bankers jumping off rooftops... with or without their golden parachutes. Maybe now powers-that-be will take the required time to fashion details of a real emergency plan, instead of a rush to momentary judgment.
And again this morning the deceitful Prez was on the airwaves begging for support --- will the Repubs ever wake up and realize this man has NO credibility whatsoever; everytime he blathers scripted words on the economy he causes MORE harm, and turns MORE people
against any prospective plan --- the man should be put in a straightjacket, handcuffed to a chair in a White House dungeon, and force-fed a liquid diet until mid-January (...when he ought be hauled off to prison) --- what a joke-of-a-spokesperson in emergency times; just crap; indeed buried in his actions of the last two months must be another half-dozen reasons for impeachment, on top of the dozen or so already put on record. "Depression: Bring it ON" --- is that his motto?
Ohhh, and Wachovia, 'nuther itty-bitty-shitty bank, going under today... and the Dow drops another 750+ smidgen points... yeah, bring it on. . . .

Anyone Having Fun Yet?

The Bush-Paulson window-dressing plan for the economy is finalized and passed on to Congress for a vote commencing today. Meanwhile the worldwide markets remain shaky this morning...

Nobelists Endorse

ehhhh, what do a bunch of science geeks know that the thumb-sucking bubbas of the NRA don't...

Now This Explains a Lot

You've heard we all have a planetary twin, right:

here

Washington Mutual: Bye-bye

Geee, surprise surprise... overnight the FDIC seizes Washington Mutual and hands it to JP Morgan, in the largest bank failure of all time... soooo far. Funny how quickly these deals take place in the dark of night... when they HAVE to. If you have to sleep, no telling what you'll miss. Got money at Wash. Mutual... better hurry, the lines are likely to be looooong this morning.
Meanwhile, the lame-duck Administration that has no real stake in this crisis (ehhh, pass it along to the next guys, whatever) will try again today to reach some consensus on some sort of faux plan that maybe can be voted on possibly next week to give the appearance of action (...yaaawn). Hey, this Halloween how 'bout we commonfolk all dress up as dogshit, since that's how they treat us anyway!...

No Crisis

We can't be in a real crisis... haven't seen any bankers or brokers jumping off the roofs of buildings yet. In Japan self-respecting, disgraced leaders routinely jump off high-rises... a practice we should maybe emulate here... starting with Bush and Cheney, arm-in-arm.

Meanwhile, Americans are in hock up to their ever-luvin eyeballs to credit card companies at usurious rates. The housing and mortgage crises are just one blip of the overall problem (solving them solves little, just postpones what's coming). Good-bye Christmas, good-bye jobs, good-bye retirements, hello bankruptcies, no matter what this retarded Administration comes up with to save its Wall Street buddies' asses. Ohhh, and if a few foreign nations decide to cash in their bonds... well believe me, you don't even wanna to think about it.

That Lettermen Show

Humor is truth:

Debate Debate

What are McCain's true intentions? Here.

Meanwhile, McCain, Obama, and Congressional leaders are being "summoned" to White House to meet with Prez on the economic package, as the emperor-with-no-clothes pretends to get serious 'bout thangs.
