can anyone pinpoint

just exactly when it was the the paradigm shift occured that now presents us with a conservative community that has become a bunch of chicken littles running around waving their wings in the air clucking that the end of democracy,and hence civilization, is at hand...

 

Back when bush was busy giving all the treasure to the rich elite and the lowly iraqis they were wailing that it was unpatriotic to bash the president and down right treasonous to oppose the war.

 

Now, every word out of hannity's mouth is a slight to the president and his family or some other trite comparison to similarities to soviet russia, and glen beck is pointing to stallin as a familiar point of reference in describing Obama...

 

They would like nothing more than to put up as many road blocks in the way of recovery to support their premis that the Democrats are going to screw up the world and the U.S.

 

Yet they were whooping and gladhanding each other when bush gave away the surplus's to the wealthy in the form of taxbreaks and no bid contracts for the war he created to make his friends and cohorts happy that they subverted the democratic process and raped the constitution...

 

They thought it was great when bush brought rummy, wolfowitz, armatege, pearle and the rest of the neocons in to run the country for him and gave him eight years in which he completely destroyed this country...yet they didn't even giv Obama 10 days before they declared his presidency a disaster...

 

They rant and rave about Pelosi like she is the devil in carnate yet they seem to embrace on the Faux Noise channel that Rove, Gringrinch and dennis hastert are nearly as beloved as the great reagan...they even embrace traitors like oliver north who was instrumental in trading weapons on the behalf of reagan to Iran, as well as terrorists in South America the Iran/Contra disaster...

 

Now that the Conservative have embraced the likes of Boss Limpbaugh as their spokes person with michael steele as the lawn jockey they have lost all rights to the high ground. When they espouse a higher moral authority by demanding that women yield to their taliban like attitudes concerning their own bodies by decrying that abortion is murder yet they have no qualms about murdering innocent civilians in the name of the noble war...the Ten Commandments state that thou shall not kill, not thou shall not kill unless it suits your needs...

 

It's ok for them to drop the switch on ten innocent men as long as they get the one guilty one. As we all became aware, bush was the most executionist governor in texas history and he never put an innocent man to death, just ask him...maybe at the same time you can ask him about the WMD's.

 

Most of the time it seems like the Rebumblicans don't even realize that when they are speaking they are being recorded and that their words will come back when their lies and distortions are exposed...

 

A least now there is a chance we will get some of our money back,the money is at least going out in the form of loans not just in giveaways to the cronies, affiliates and buddies...

 

Only time will tell if this new adminstration will succeed or fail but I am at least willing to give him at least the first hundred days before I declare the patient dead...they gave bush eight years and then still wanted more.

Odd, bouncing fish with lollipop face dubbed new species

March 3, 2009

and World Science staff

Psychedel­i­ca seems the per­fect name for a fish that is a wild swirl of tan and peach zeb­ra stripes and acts in ways con­tra­ry to its breth­ren. So says the Uni­ver­s­ity of Wash­ing­ton’s Ted Pietsch, who is the first to de­scribe the new spe­cies in the sci­en­tif­ic lit­er­a­ture and thus the one to pick the name.

With its flat­tened face, sci­en­tists say the fish's eyes ap­pear to be di­rect­ed for­ward. These may pro­vide it with bin­oc­u­lar vi­sion, a spe­cial at­trib­ute well de­vel­oped in hu­mans that pro­vides the abil­i­ty to ac­cu­rate­ly judge dis­tance. On­ly very few fish­es have eyes whose field of vi­sion over­laps in front, pro­vid­ing such vi­sion. (©David Hall / sea­pho­tos.com)

Psychedel­ica is per­haps even more apt giv­en the cocka­mamie way the fish swim, some with so lit­tle ap­par­ent con­trol they look drunk.

Mem­bers of His­tio­phryne psych­edel­ica don’t so much swim as hop. Each time they strike the seafloor they use their fins to push off and they ex­pel wa­ter from ti­ny gill open­ings on their sides to jet­ti­son them­selves for­ward. With tails curled tightly to one side – which lim­its their abil­ity to steer – they look like in­flat­ed rub­ber balls bounc­ing hith­er and thith­er.

While oth­er frog­fish and si­m­i­lar spe­cies are known to jet­ti­son them­selves up off the bot­tom be­fore they beg­in swim­ming, none have been seen hop­ping, ac­cord­ing to Pietsch. It’s just one of the be­hav­iors of H. psy­ch­edel­ica un­seen in any oth­er fish, added the re­search­er, lead au­thor of a pa­per on the new spe­cies in Co­peia, the jour­nal of the Amer­i­can So­ci­e­ty of Ichthy­ol­o­gists and Her­petol­o­gists.

It was lit­tle more than a year ago that the fish with rare, for­ward-facing eyes like hu­mans and a se­cre­tive na­ture drew world­wide at­ten­tion af­ter hav­ing been ob­served in the busy har­bor of Am­bon Is­land, In­do­ne­sia. An adult fish was ob­served in Jan­u­ary 2008 by To­by Fa­dirs­yair, a guide, and Buck and Fi­trie Ran­dolph, co-own­ers of Ma­lu­ku Di­vers, based in Am­bon. They and other co-own­ers An­dy and Ker­ry Short­en event­ual­ly found Pietsch to help them iden­ti­fy the fish. Since the first sight­ing di­vers have ob­served a num­ber of adults and ju­ve­niles, now that they know what to look for.

Adults of H. psy­ch­edel­ica are fist-sized with ge­lat­i­nous bod­ies cov­ered with thick folds of skin that pro­tect them from sharp-edged cor­als as they haunt ti­ny nooks and cran­nies of the har­bor reef. Fins on ei­ther side of their bod­ies have, as with oth­er frog­fish, evolved to be leg-like, and mem­bers of H. psy­ch­edel­ica ac­tu­ally pre­fer crawl­ing to swim­ming. (See a Quick­Time vi­deo of the ani­mal here.)

The leg-like pec­to­ral fins used for walk­ing are com­mon­ly found in an­gler­fish which pre­fer crawl­ing to swim­ming. More than a doz­en in­di­vid­u­al fish have been seen in Am­bon Har­bor, In­do­ne­sia, since di­vers with Ma­lu­ku Di­vers first spot­ted one of the fish in Jan­u­ary 2008. The fish have been found in 15 to 25 feet of wa­ter near a com­mer­cial jet­ty in the busy har­bor. (Cred­it: ©David Hall / sea­pho­tos.com)

The spe­cies has a flat­tened face with eyes di­rect­ed for­ward. It’s some­thing Pietsch, with 40 years of ex­pe­ri­ence stu­dy­ing and clas­si­fy­ing fish­es, has nev­er seen be­fore in frog­fish. It causes him to spec­u­late that the spe­cies may have bin­oc­u­lar vi­sion, that is, vi­sion that over­laps in front, like it does in hu­mans. Most fish, with eyes on ei­ther side of their head, don’t have this; they see dif­fer­ent things with each eye.

DNA work in­di­cat­ed H. psy­ch­edel­ica joins two oth­er spe­cies in a ge­nus called His­tio­phryne, though the oth­er two look very drab in com­par­i­son. The ge­nus is but one of about a doz­en in the frogfish or An­ten­nari­idae family, ac­cord­ing to Pietsch. The frog­fish are, in turn, part of the larg­er or­der of Lo­phi­iformes, or an­gler­fish.

Unlike oth­er an­gler­fish, mem­bers of H. psy­ch­edel­ica have no lures grow­ing out of their fore­heads to at­tract prey. The oth­er an­gler­fish sit out in the open on the seafloor or cor­al reefs, of­ten adapt­ing their col­or­ing so their bod­ies are cam­ou­flaged, but the lures are meant to be no­ticed so the fish wave, wig­gle and some­times blink the lures on and off.

In­stead of that show­i­ness, mem­bers of H. psy­ch­edel­ica are shy and se­cre­tive, probably one rea­son they weren’t pre­vi­ously spot­ted, Pietsch said. When a mem­ber of H. psy­ch­edel­ica is un­cov­ered by di­vers it usu­ally seeks a new place to hide with­in 10 or 15 min­utes.

And while oth­er an­gler­fish change their col­or­ing de­pend­ing on the en­vi­ron­ment, the new spe­cies ap­pears to main­tain its wild strip­ing no mat­ter the sur­round­ings.

The col­or­ing led co-au­thor Da­vid Hall, a wild­life pho­tographer and own­er of seapho­tos.com, to spec­u­late that the fish is mim­ick­ing cor­als. In­deed, Hall pro­duced pho­tos for the new sci­en­tif­ic pa­per show­ing cor­als the an­i­mals may be mim­ick­ing.

The oth­er co-au­thor, Ra­chel Ar­nold, a mas­ter’s stu­dent at the uni-ver-sity, did the DNA work. Ar­nold, who dove in Am­bon Har­bor last year, said the strip­ing of each fish is dis­tinc­tive, “like a fin­ger­print of pat­tern­ing on their body so from what­ev­er an­gle you look, you can tell in­di­vid­u­als apart.”

The sci­en­tists found, how­ev­er, that the viv­id col­ors fad­ed in a mat­ter of days once a spec­i­men was pre­served in eth­a­nol. The flesh of the pre­served spec­i­men looks white, but with a mi­cro­scope one can still see the strip­ing, Pietsch discov­ered.

This got him think­ing about two spec­i­mens sent to him in 1992 that he’d kept. The Dal­las Aquar­i­um had sent him two frog­fish, found in a ship­ment of live fish­es from Ba­li that they said had un­usu­al pig­ment pat­terns. The staff had nick­named them “pais­ley frog­fish.” But the pho­tograph Pietsch was sent was of poor qual­ity and the pre­served spec­i­mens Pietsch re­ceived were white, so he did­n’t give them much thought.

Pietsch re­trieved the old spec­i­mens from the col­lec­tion, put them un­der a mi­cro­scope and found the strip­ing dis­tinc­tive to H. psy­ch­edel­ica. He’d had two spec­i­men of a new spe­cies of fish for 17 years, but did­n’t know it.

time and again...

Martha Mccalum on fox news asked Rep. Boner and then Areola Flesher why didn't all the Bumblicans get together and take all their little earmarks out of the Omnibus bill and make a statement to the publice and each time she got nothing but political babble...and come to think about it, what with all the attention John Mccainiac is trying to muster he is not screaming at the Bums as well...Michael Steele and Rush Limpbutt can argue about minutia and enui but I don't hear them chiding their contemporaries on the right side of the aisle for their Pork and Beans gluttony either...

 

If the Bums were genuinely outraged by the size of this bill they should unilaterally withdraw all their earmarks instead of leaving them in and then voting against the bill so that their CONstituencies think they are being fiscally responsible...all the while feeding at the traugh with the best of them...

If roughly half of the earmarks in the omnibus bill are rebumblcan how come no bums are voting for it?

10 things you should know about Obama's plan

The plan:

1. Makes a $634 billion down payment on fixing health care that will go a long way toward paying for a more efficient, more affordable health care system that covers every single American.¹
   
2. Reduces taxes for 95% of working Americans. And if your family makes less than $250,000, your taxes won't go up one dime.²
   
3. Invests more than $100 billion in clean energy technology, creating millions of green jobs that can never be outsourced.³
   
4. Brings our troops home from Iraq on a firm timetable, finally bringing the war to a close—and freeing up almost ten billion dollars a month for domestic priorities.⁴
   
5. Reverses growing income inequality. The plan lets the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire and focuses on strengthening the middle class.⁵
   
6. Closes multi-billion-dollar tax loopholes for big oil companies. ⁶
   
7. Increases grants to help families pay for college—the largest increase ever.⁷
   
8. Halves the deficit by 2013. President Obama inherited a legacy of huge deficits and an economy in shambles, but his plan brings the deficit under control as soon as the economy begins to recover.⁸
   
9. Dramatically increases funding for the SEC and the CFTC—the agencies that police Wall Street.⁹
   
10. Tells it straight. For years, budgets have used accounting tricks to hide the real costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush tax cuts, and too many other programs. Obama's budget gets rid of the smokescreens and lays out what America's priorities are, what they cost, and how we're going to pay for them.¹⁰

Pretty amazing, right? Can you pass this on to your personal network too, to make sure everyone knows how far-reaching and progressive Obama's plan is?

Thanks!

P.S. Turns out there are way more than 10 amazing things in Obama's budget and we couldn't resist sharing just a few more.

1. Stops unnecessary government subsidies to big banks, health insurance companies and big agribusinesses.^11,12,13
   
2. Expands access to early childhood education and improves schools by investing in programs that make sure every child has a qualified, strong teacher.¹⁴
   
3. Negotiates for better prescription drug prices using Medicaid's tremendous bargaining power.¹⁵
   
4. Expands access to family planning for low-income women.¹⁶
   
5. Caps the pollution that causes global warming, and makes polluters pay to support clean energy innovation.¹⁷

After eight years...

of the most opaque governing in the history of the United States the GOP do nothing party can't see their way to do the hard things necessary to bring this country out of the worst years in history...it's obvious by their actions and the words of their chief cheerleaders like Bush Limbaugh and that crazy Ham head Hanity that they need this administration to fail at any cost just so they can have some sort of shot at regaining the once prominant postition they once held...

 

It's obvious they don't understand plain english...when they complain that the stimulus bill is full of spending...well duh...

 

let's all just remember who the players were if this all works out...we can't let them jump on the bandwagon when things turn around and maintain that it's just the policies of the bush admin kicking in...

Harry Truman after the presidency:

Harry Truman, from Missouri , was a different kind of President.  He probably made as many important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents.  However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. 
 
Historians have written the only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri .  On top of that, his wife inherited the house from her Mother. 
 
When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year.  Congress, noting that he was paying=2 0for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an ' allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25 ,000 per year. 

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves.  There were no Secret Service following them. 

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, 'You don't want me.  You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me.  It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale.' 

Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, 'I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise.' 
 
He never owned his own home and as president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food. 
 
Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth.  Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices.  Political offices are now for sale. 

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, 'My choices early in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician.  And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.'

Suddenly John Boner wont go along with releasing the rest of the TARP funds until he remembers who he gave the first half to.

It is kinda interesting how now that we have a Dem admin the bumblicans have developed a fiscal concience about the bailout

Hopefully this won't be the catch phrase of the next four years...

like it was for the last eight...don't play me again

Well this is it...

the first post of the new year...what will this year hold...change? or more of the same...we will see...

Happy New year....

 

My Wish forYou in 2009

 

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.

 May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.

 May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!

 May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires

 and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

IF YOU SEE A FAT MAN.

Who's jolly and cute,
Wearing a beard and a red flannel suit,
And if he is chuckling and laughing away,
While flying around in a
miniature sleigh,
With eight tiny reindeer to
pull him along, 
Then let's face it...
Your eggnog's too strong!
Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!

And the most telling thing...

about this whole ordeal is that the four major Rebumblican players in the game are senators that host foreign auto makers in their states...they should be tried for treason...

GOP dogs in the manger...Auto rescue bill in peril, opposed by GOP senators

Will they stop at nothing to try and keep the economy down just to make it harder on the new Democratic administration...are they that bitter about their loss of stewardship of this nation...even though they have ground it to a pulp with their obstructionist ways...maybe a super majority wouldn't be such a bad thing...if it made the Rebumblicans think about the public more than themselves...

Hard-fought auto bailout deal in peril as GOP senators voice strong opposition

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House pressed toward passage of a $14 billion bailout for the nation's imperiled auto industry Wednesday night, but the hard-fought deal between Democrats and the Bush White House was in jeopardy amid strong opposition from GOP senators.

 

Republicans were in full revolt against their party's lame-duck president over the measure, balking at helping Detroit's struggling Big Three without hefty concessions from autoworkers and creditors, and furious about an environmental mandate House Democrats insisted on including in the measure.

 

Democratic leaders still held out hope that the emergency aid could be enacted by week's end.

 

The White House, though not formally endorsing an agreement with congressional Democrats, dispatched administration officials to Capitol Hill to make a case for the rescue package. During a contentious, closed-door luncheon with Senate Republicans, White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten got an earful of criticism from the rank-and-file, some of whom have already announced plans to block the measure.

 

"They got a good dose," said opponent Tom Coburn, R-Okla., as he emerged from the session.

 

blagojevich obviously thought

 he was just cashing in on the Obamemorabilia craze...he was actually trying to sell the chair barack sat in during his term in the senate...

In Thanksgiving Tradition, Bush Pardons Scooter Libby In Giant Turkey Costume

Are the rebumblicans posturing for 2012...

by not only sabotaging any kind of recovery during the next four years, but maybe even making things worse just to frost the cake...

 

WASHINGTON—Top Republicans heaped scorn Sunday on a plan by Democrats to spend $25 billion rescuing American automakers, raising doubts about whether the auto bailout can pass the lame-duck Congress that begins today.

"Just giving them $25 billion doesn't change anything," Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate's second-ranking Republican, said on Fox News Sunday. "It just puts off for six months or so the day of reckoning."

Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Senate banking committee, called the plan "a road to nowhere." He called the "Big Three" — Detroit's three major automakers — "a dinosaur," and said on NBC's Meet the Press that they are "not building the right products. … They don't innovate."

Shelby's state is home to plants owned by Honda, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz, foreign-owned companies that would not be eligible for bailout funds under a proposal by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.

Michigan-based General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have made changes in recent years but need help to survive the economic crisis, Levin said on Meet the Press. GM reported last month that it is running out of cash.

 

If even one of the big three fail the ripple effect in terms of affected industries could be catastrophic...

 

Let us all pray that the dems get a backbone and use their newfound mandate to actually get past the GOP obstructionists that have brought the approval ratings of the government to all time lows...

 

The new administration was elected on a promis of change...lets not let the rebumblicans stand in the way...

 

Well that's it...

The day has come, finally...all the campaigning, shouting, mudslinging, baby kissing, rubber chicken eating, glad handing, back slapping, speech giving, conspiracy intriguing, lying and general business as usual political theater has culminated to this one day when all who want to can go and cast their vote for the liar of their choice...

 

Luckily in my neck of the woods either most people voted absentee or didn't vote because I was able to just wisk in and vote...took all of 10 minutes and it was done...

 

Now the real drama starts as the parties try to dismiss as many of the voters decisions on the other parties lists as they can...hopefully the old folks in florida and the rubes in Ohio will have learned their lessons of the past and been a little more carefull in their procedures...

 

Let the best man take the mantle and proceed to bring this nation from the brink...who ever he is...now is the time when we should put all this partisan rancor behind us and fall in behind the man that ascends to the position of the most powerful man in all the free world...neither man is totally capable to assume the burden by himself and thusly must surroung himself with the best advise he can assemble...we have seen what can happen when he listens to bad advise...

the wheels have finally come off...

the McCain bus now that he has made Joe the bumbler his official spokesman...who is more than willing to tell you what he thinks as long as you don't ask him what he bases his opions on...who is paying this guys bills while he tours with mccain-paleone campaign...

 

on a different note...is McCain sending out coded messages to his sleeper cells to begin their plans to assasinate Obama and secure the throne for Julius McCain...the vaguely vailed hate speech eminating from the likes of Sara "caribou barbie" Palin and McCain is doing as much to bring out the crazies and incite them to horrendous acts against this country...Sean Hannity should be looking into the terrorist tactics of this group...is John McCain just carrying out the orders that his communist programmers hardwired into his brain in the Hanoi Hilton...after all he did sign a confession that he was indeed a "war criminal".  Yet they will tell you about how he endured all kinds of torture rather than be freed before his comrads...think "Price" from Stalag 17....

 

McCain can only raise his arms up to shoulder level because that's all the higher you need to salute Sieg Heil...

 

Vote this man into office if you want to send this country completely off the precipice into the yawning chasm of desolation and dispair...in all probablity Palin, after winning the election, would probably bite off McCains head and suck out what's left of his intestinal fortitude...

 

Anybody wearing a McCain pin or sporting a bumper sticker, or lawn sign is actually a Rebumblican Zombie awaiting orders to start eating liberal flesh...be sure and shoot the head because they have no guts, but aim carefully because the brain is so small it can be easily missed...

 

If there is one thing this election is showing me...

is that an entire political faction can be so completely embodied by ignorant misinformed and mentally challenged individuals...McCain-Palin along with the likes of Sean Hannity should be totally ashamed of the way they have decontextualized this event with lies, half truths and race bating...so much so as to have completely terrorized the Rebumblican constituency to the point that the opponent must truly fear for his life...The conservative party has truly turned themselves into a characture of what it must have been like in 1939 nazi germany...

 

Oh, the shame...

Clouded waters clear with time...

Ellen Schloemer, executive vice president of the Center for
Responsible
Lending Self-Help Credit Union in North Carolina, disputed two reasons
many people are blaming for the subprime mortgage mess.
   One is the Community Reinvestment Act, a 1977 law that encourages
borrower
activity in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
   "How people can think that a law that's been on the books for 30
years
somehow precipitated or caused the subprime crisis is frankly just
beyond
me," she said. "I think it is a smokescreen. CRA did not apply to most
subprime lenders."
   Also being scapegoated, she said, are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Although
the two institutions did buy too many risky home loans, their volume
was
dwarfed by those in the private market, she said. "I think it's
political
nonsense to blame things not at fault."

 

 

Wall Street investors experienced a sudden surge in optimism Tuesday

NEW YORK—Wall Street investors experienced a sudden surge in optimism Tuesday when, after six tumultuous weeks that saw record drops in the Dow Jones industrial average, a $1 bill was spotted on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

The dollar bill was discovered in the northwest corner of the trading floor at approximately 12:05 p.m., and its condition was reported as "crinkled, but real." Word of the tangible denomination of U.S. currency spread quickly across the NYSE, sending traders into a frenzied rush of shouting, arm-flailing, hooting, hollering, and, according to eyewitnesses, at least one dog pile.

"With credit frozen and the commercial paper market poised on the brink of collapse, this is the most promising development I've seen on Wall Street in months," said floor trader Tim Formato, one of hundreds who gathered around the $1 bill and excitedly called their clients to inform them that they were looking at actual U.S. tender. "I think I touched it."

According to witnesses, the trading floor was soon abuzz with energy, as traders pointed at the dollar and repeatedly shouted "Look!" and "Money!" A proposal to divide the $1 note into 1,300 equal pieces and distribute them amongst investors was considered, but ultimately rejected. Early reports estimate the dollar may have passed through as many as 65 hands before disappearing in the late afternoon.

The bill's absence, however, did not deter the growing enthusiasm from those on the trading floor. By 2:15 p.m., more than 60,000 shares had been purchased in the new publicly traded asset, DLR, after brokers placed a flurry of calls advising their investors to buy into the booming single-dollar market.

By the close of day, economists were estimating the dollar bill's net worth at just under $270 million.

"We couldn't be in a better situation right now," trader Patrick Kady said. "Unless of course it had been a euro."

However, some financial advisers are warning against the rampant speculation the dollar has caused on Wall Street. Many have cautioned investors not to make rash decisions, such as liquidating all their low-risk government bonds in order to sniff the green paper bill for just a minute.

"I bet it smells like rose petals," mutual funds specialist Ken Stoute said. "My friend's friend Tim Formato? He's on the board at Westminster Securities and he says he touched it. He said it was warm and soft and wonderful. He said he knows where it is now, and I can put in an option on seeing it tomorrow for only $85."

Since the appearance of the dollar, the Dow has spiked an impressive 993 points—its largest gain ever. Initial numbers are showing the most sizable rises in technology stocks, a trend some are attributing to Microsoft's CFO Chris Liddell, who toured the trading floor Tuesday morning with the bill stuck to his left shoe.

The overall projection for the market following the incident has been positive, with many analysts claiming that the $1 bill may be an indication of other spare change lying around. This, coupled with reports out of Europe that there is a German college student who has not yet hit her credit card limit this month, could be enough to stabilize the Dow and jump-start the global economy once again.

"This is just another sign that the U.S. economy is as strong and resilient as it has ever been," said Richard Fuld Jr., former CEO of Lehman Brothers. "I'm just glad we finally have these credit and subprime mortgage loan crises behind us. This $1 bill will carry us through another 10 years of reckless, unregulated borrowing."

WaMu operations sold to J.P. Morgan after regulators seize control of Seattle bank

South Florida Business Journal - by Eric Engleman and Brian Bandell

J.P. Morgan Chase bought the bulk of Washington Mutual's banking operations Thursday in a deal orchestrated by federal regulators who had seized control of the troubled thrift.

If J.P. Morgan Chase keeps WaMu's South Florida branches, it will emerge as a major new competitor in the region. WaMu had 125 branches and $8.8 billion in deposits in the three-county South Florida market on June 30, 2007, according to the FDIC. That placed it third in South Florida in both categories, behind Charlotte, N.C.-based rivals Wachovia and Bank of America.

In a sign of the WaMu's worsening condition, regulators said it had lost $16.7 billion in deposits since Sept. 15. Saying WaMu had insufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and was "in an unsafe and unsound condition to transact business," the federal Office of Thrift Supervision closed the bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver. The FDIC held a bidding process that ended in the sale to J.P. Morgan.

WaMu had a 6.13 percent nonaccrual rate in its $52.9 billion option adjustable rate mortgage portfolio in the second quarter. In a list of metropolitan areas in the portfolio, South Florida's three counties had the highest delinquency rates with Miami-Dade performing the worst, at 12.84 percent. These are loans were borrowers can pay less than the monthly accrued interest for a period of time.

WaMu's shares plunged to 45 cents in after-hours trading Thursday as reports of the company's acquisition began circulating through the media. The stock was worth $1.69 at the close of trading Thursday. The 52-week high for WaMu shares was $36.47.

The FDIC said that people with WaMu loans should continue making their payments, as their agreements are still in force. As for interest rates, JPMorgan Chase will review those rates for WaMu customers starting Friday.

While all details of the deal weren't clear, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) said it will pay $1.9 billion to the FDIC to acquire WaMu's deposits, branches and a loan portfolio valued at $176 billion. J.P. Morgan anticipates write-downs of about $30 billion on the loans. The acquisition doesn't include some assets and liabilities, which would remain in the holding company,

Is there any question...

about just how big and opportunist John McCain really is when after being contacted by Obama about a joint statement concerning the financial crises he then runs off and pre-empts everything to be the first to declare his decision to drop everything and concentrate on this dilemma...and then challenging Obama to do the same...to call off the debate, costing the people of Mississippi millions of dollars...I worry about a candidate who can't handle more than one thing at a time...gawd even Bush managed to screw up a half a dozen items every day he was in office...

 

Deja Vu all over again...

This is not the first financial scandal that has wracked the U.S. while under the steward ship of the Bush family...after what happened the last time a Bush was in the whithouse should be what is being talked about but that is not the case...it's like history starts each time a Rebumblican takes office...how many times do we let them take the wealth of the country and give it to their freinds...and they say Obama wants to redistribute wealth...all these companies getting  bailed out are sending their CEO's off with massive parachutes that are being funded by the taxpayer...

Not only should these and the other deals be scrutinized heavily in the future the entire Bush clan and Cheney as well should be investigated at least as thoroughly as Clinton was for merely getting a blow job in the oval office...

White House alters defense of economy's strength
By BEN FELLER
WASHINGTON – The White House throttled back its description of the U.S. economy on Wednesday, labeling it resilient enough to withstand some shocks to the system but refusing to say it is fundamentally sound — the phrase that has jolted the race for the presidency.
In defending the latest corporate rescue by the government, the White House put the country's economic state in a much more measured perspective.
Press secretary Dana Perino said "it's not clear-cut," but rather a mixed package of up-and-down economic measures, sometimes even on the same day.
"Our economy has the strength to be able to deal with these shocks," Perino said as financial markets were still reeling from corporate meltdowns.
The economic language that emerges from the White House is always important. It sends messages to the markets and to the masses. And it is designed to find a balance of boosting consumer confidence while also being candid enough to prevent President Bush from appearing out of touch.
When Republican presidential candidate John McCain declared Monday that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," it drew ridicule from Democratic opponent Barack Obama and his surrogates. McCain later said he meant that the fundamental strength of the American worker remained strong.
In fact, the phrase and variations of it long have been a favorite of Bush's. "I believe the foundations of this economy are strong," he said on July 31.
Given the political atmosphere, Perino declined to say whether the White House still stood by the statement.
"I recognize that this issue of `strength' has come into the 2008 election," she said. "I'm not going to try to get involved in it."
Even when reporters asked for the president's view of the economy regardless of the McCain-Obama race, Perino would not bite. "I know as soon as I say something you're going to turn it around and it will be a part of the 2008 campaign," she said. "I'm not going to play the game."
The last few weeks have seen enough Wall Street turmoil and corporate collapses to prompt a blitz of federal interventions under Bush's watch. It is the kind of taxpayer-supported help for the private sector that might seem at odds with Bush's conservative, free-market economic philosophy.
But Bush and his economic advisers say the government has stepped in to keep taxpayers from facing the potential of even worse problems.
The White House on Wednesday defended the latest action, an $85 billion emergency loan for insurance giant American International Group Inc. The government gets almost an 80 percent stake in the company, the most far-reaching intervention into the private sector ever for the Federal Reserve.
AIG teetered on the edge of failure because of stresses caused by the collapse of the subprime mortgage market and the credit crunch that ensued.
"While no one would have liked to have ended up in this situation, you have a government that is willing to lead," Perino said.
Bush however, was not willing to talk about it.
He has not fielded questions about the economic upheaval this week and even canceled a statement Tuesday. Reporters have tried each day. When one tried to press Bush in the Oval Office on Wednesday, he said he could not hear the question, and then made light of the moment by saying, "I'm old."
The president has not held a news conference since July.
There again, Perino said, Bush is reluctant to put himself in a position to face questions about the 2008 campaign. But given all the economic developments, she allowed, "I grant you that it's been a while, and I understand that people want to hear from the president during this time."
In the meantime, the president's chief spokeswoman was the one challenged about where all the government bailouts will end.
"I would be misleading you if I knew," she said. "What we are doing is taking this on a case-by-case basis, evaluating each one carefully."
Among those pleading for Washington's help, for instance, is the struggling U.S. auto industry, which has suffered massive losses but remains a backbone of the economy. A bill before Congress would give the companies $25 billion in federal loans.
As for AIG, Bush agreed with the loan on Tuesday after being presented with a recommendation from Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke during a meeting of economic advisers. Perino said Bush's role was more consultative on the matter.
Because of AIG's size and scope, the possible failure of the company appeared to pose a greater risk than the $85 billion loan, she said. But while Perino said the terms require taxpayers to be paid back first, when asked whether taxpayers may not get their money back at all, she said, "That is true."

Even McCains own campaign advisors have their doubts...

My Friends

The old double standard...

when the political parties refer to the old double standard...it isn't really between their candidates, it's between what they promise and what we get...

the conservatives are being forced...

to argue semantics because they can't justify their positions on the issues...they just can't seem to get all the lipstick off...

 

McCain was giving out tire gauges...

when Obama suggested that keeping your tires inflated would save gas...maybe they could send out lipsticks with their campaign slogan on them...

This Modern World:

Always good for McCain.

What's the difference between Palin and Muslim fundamentalists? Lipstick

Sept. 9, 2008 | John McCain announced that he was running for president to confront the "transcendent challenge" of the 21st century, "radical Islamic extremism," contrasting it with "stability, tolerance and democracy." But the values of his handpicked running mate, Sarah Palin, more resemble those of Muslim fundamentalists than they do those of the Founding Fathers. On censorship, the teaching of creationism in schools, reproductive rights, attributing government policy to God's will and climate change, Palin agrees with Hamas and Saudi Arabia rather than supporting tolerance and democratic precepts. What is the difference between Palin and a Muslim fundamentalist? Lipstick.

where all the flip-floppers go when they attempt to say and do what they think their supporters want to hear in order to get elected...they wouldn't accept it from a bona-fide decorated war veteran like Kerry...why would they accept any less from McCain...at least Kerry didn't admit to having engaged in the commission of war crimes...

Sarah Palin Gender Card

The whole time...

that W. was talking on the jumbotron during the RNC, I kept wondering when Hillary was going to come bounding down the center isle  and throw a 16 pound sledge hammer into the screen to free the captive minds of the rebumblican sheep bleeting in the audience...that they would wake up and join the anarchists in the streets to affect real change...

to listen to the Rebumblicans tell it...

you would think maybe they would be better off switching the ticket and havinig McCain be the VP and Palin take the party to new heights of quality and performance as the President...after all she was the

governor of Alaska and has all this experience...

 

If this is any indication...

of the process by which McCain would fill out the rest of his administration upon taking office, the predictions of a third Bush term would be easily correlated by these circumstances...

Old, Grizzled Third Party Candidate May Steal Support From McCain

What Rebumblicans need to take with them to the polls

click on image

fastened securely to their nose when they cast their ballots...this solution is not sufficient for those numnuts who switched their votes because they could'nt vote for Hillary...

Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:
She was elected Alaska 's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1
Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2
She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3
Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4
She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5
She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6
How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7
This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.
We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:
She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK
She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK
As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK
Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK
She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK
I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK
So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.
In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country.
In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.
Thanks for all you do.

Latest Poll Reveals 430 New Demographics That Will Decide Election

Latest Poll Reveals 430 New Demographics That Will Decide Election

The most qualified candidate for McCains V.P.

Last year, the biggest oil companies made almost $150 billion in profits

—an all-time record.¹ But our friends at the Center for American Progress just released a report showing that John McCain wants to give them even more—$39 billion in tax cuts and subsidies.²

It's a stark choice: we can invest in solar panels on our roofs. Wind farms powering our homes. Plug-in hybrids that use barely any gas. New, green jobs revitalizing our communities. Or we can follow John McCain's plan, and keep giving billions of our tax dollars to oil companies.

On Tuesday, we're holding rallies across the country to call for a shift to a clean energy economy—and to make sure voters know John McCain would rather give our tax dollars to help Big Oil than invest in cheap, clean alternatives to oil.

 

John McCain plans to continue supporting Big Oil profits over clean energy progress—new data for California shows how many millions of our state tax dollars McCain would funnel to Big Oil, and just what that money could do if we used it locally on new clean energy projects. How many windmills. How many houses we could weatherize. How much of an investment we could make in geothermal energy. How many jobs we'd create.

Right now, before the major campaign ad spending starts, may be our last chance to help people see through the rhetoric to the truth: John McCain is on Big Oil's side, not ours. We can have a clean energy future—but not if we elect a candidate who's committed to the policies of the past

Is the Bush administration laying the groundwork for a massive illegal immigrant amnesty...

Mukasey rules out prosecutions from hiring scandal

Reuters – U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey speaks about the Administration's legal approach in the conflict 

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former U.S. Justice Department officials who improperly used political criteria in hiring decisions for career lawyers and immigration judges will not be prosecuted, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on Tuesday.

The department recently issued reports detailing misconduct in hiring practices mainly by top aides to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who resigned last year. While there was wrongdoing and "a failure of supervision by senior officials in the department," the conduct was not criminal, Mukasey said in a speech.

"Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute," he told the American Bar Association annual meeting in New York. "But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."

The Justice Department's internal investigation concluded that high-ranking officials injected politics into what should have been nonpartisan hiring decisions. Both department policy and federal law bar the use of politics in making decisions on hiring for career jobs.

Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine has previously told Congress he did not see a sufficient basis for prosecution of the former officials, saying the violations did not involve criminal laws.

Mukasey also said on Tuesday he disagreed with critics who have suggested that people hired through the flawed process should be fired or moved to different jobs.

"Two wrongs do not make a right," he said. He said it would be "unfair, and quite possibly illegal given their civil service protections, to fire them or to reassign them without individual cause."
