Non news item. . .   

The ministry of information has forbidden coverage on the major networks.

The near half-billion no-bid contract Obama just gave to Halliburton is also off limits too.

Please refrain from speaking of these on the forums.

Thank you.

If Bush were still President he wouldn't give Freddie Mac any government aid.

Probably not.  He gave a trillion to the bankers, but not 10 billion to mortgage holders.

Halliburton - well at this pace (half billion at a time) Obama will have given them about half what Bush/Cheneyh gave them in about another 15 to 20 years!  Good thing he will be long gone by then!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

So are these real mortgage losses hitting now, or are we still in the "making Fannie and Freddie take much larger loss provisions than commercial banks, thereby crapping all over their balance sheets" mode? (Really, it's more the commercial banks that are underprovisioning, not Fannie and Freddie overprovisioning)

Can we not talk about how complicated the underlying economics of the situation are?  They really get in the way of my unmitigated fury at all things government related.

Sorry, the double standard gets in the way of my outrage.  ;D

Aw, come now!  It's nothing more complicated than stupid people buying things they didn't need with money they didn't have, at payback rates they could never afford.

Resume your anger now...are you sure you are okay today?  That "unmitigated fury at all things government related" sounded like something I'd say.

Yeah, the unemployment rate has nothing to do with people's ability to service debt.

Has something to do with companies not being able to service debt in many cases.

You know, you're right.  I was down at Veteran Park this weekend for a run and I think I might've stepped in a puddle of left over Tea Party from a couple of months back.

Enlightenment ensued today on tea party related item - especially as relates to the tea baggers.  Had a young kid at work explain what 'tea-bagging' is...
I think I will have to stop using the term.

Or not.

You're a little late to the game on this one.  This has been a source of pride/derision for the home/away team for months now. 

Some of us, however, have known what the term REALLY meant since about 2004.
