Let's look forwards to the day when he realizes he pushed all the wrong buttons.
Tweety is un-clued.
camelot, mine are 17 yesterday and 16 on 12/21.
Hello moonbats 
heh i can't believe i stayed up to watch the US Presidential Debates lol
my dad thought me a little bit sad
Matthews is an idiot ..sun rises
he does this all the time
He doesn't know the difference between ethnicity and race. He's a total ass and that MSNBC thinks he a liberal is stunning and insulting to liberals everywhere
Say no to the bailout. It's nothing but a financial version of Iraq
He means like Conan the Cimmerian, whose ethnicity is represented only by himself as the rest of his people are dead. You know, like when Tweety was talking about King Arthur returning from the Crusades.
Spanish banking giant Santander is in high-stakes talks with the government over a last-minute rescue deal to take over Bradford and Bingley and avert a Northern Rock-style run on the bank.
As fears mounted this weekend over the future of the former building society, savers were withdrawing funds online and a steady stream had arrived at its 337 branches across the country asking to withdraw their money.
Officials from the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority were locked in talks with Santander today as they tried to broker a solution that would avoid another nationalisation. Santander already owns the Abbey and is negotiating to take over Alliance and Leicester

So, when will the white media get over the race factor and accept who is more qualified?
Matthews does say some weird stuff, but on balance, he is far better than most pundits.
my Palestinian friend, who lives near Bethlehem was also watching the debates, so we had a good chat about it
and he was really impressed with Obama and thought McCain was a creepy old man with bad opinions
he described Obama as having a honest face and that deep down he doesn't want war

I hope he schools McCain a bit in the domestic affairs debate.
I hope he gets McCain to hang himself with his health care "reform" proposals.
"John, tell us about your plan to tax health care benefits and use Phil Gramm's bank deregulation legislation as a model for what you want to do with the health insurance industry."
It's a hot one!

Maybe not, though.

OT: BASRA, Sept. 23, 2008 (Aswat al-Iraq) – Iraqi legislators and ecologists have warned against possible environment pollution to sweep the southern Iraq city of Basra, calling on the government to find quick solutions.
"Basra, which has turned into a dump for refuse thrown in the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, is facing a serious environmental problem. We have fears about an environmental disaster in the city," independent lawmaker Wael Abdellatif told Aswat al-Iraq.
Abdellatif, a former governor of Basra, Iraq's only outlet to the sea, pointed out that saltiness rates in the terrain grew high due to the low water level in Tigris and Euphrates. "Germs rates also increased as a result of the disposal of industry wastes into the two rivers, in addition to the passage of oil pipelines via Shatt al-Arab, whose fish wealth is endangered," he explained.
Shatt al-Arab is a river channel, about 193 km (120 mi) long, of southeast Iraq formed by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and flowing southeast to the Gulf. The Shatt al Arab forms part of the Iraq-Iran border, and navigation rights to the channel have long been disputed by the two countries.
Abdelhadi al-Hassani, a member of the parliament's oil & gas committee, termed as "moribund" Basra, the cradle of the first civilization of Sumer.
"It's all because of this deliberate negligence by the government during the past period," he complained, noting Basra was polluted by the landfill of oil refinery wastes, which might cause cancer.

is this the success in Iraq McCain talks about? - BAGHDAD, Sep 25, 2008 (IPS) - Not even the elevators work now at Baghdad Medical City, built once as the centre for some of the best medical care.
One of the ten elevators still does, and the priority for this is patients who have lost their legs -- and there are many of them. The rest, the doctors, patients and students at the four specialised teaching hospitals within the building complex, just take the stairs, sometimes to the 18th floor.
This is in a city that had been given dreams of great development five years back, around the time of the U.S.-led invasion. And much of the corporate-led media in the U.S. and Europe still insists that the situation in Baghdad has "improved".
The improvement that such media sees, no one in Iraq does. As with Baghdad Medical City, so with Baghdad, and so with Iraq. The elevators are just another reminder of a country that's not working.
"It's so bad here that patients who are moderate cases don't come for treatment at all," says Abdul Razak, an elevator serviceman at the complex. "They just send a family member to describe their condition and collect medicine."
It's a hard day's work for Razak when he is operating the elevator. "The smell of my sweat mixes with the smell of at least 20 other people who crowd into the lift." It gets less sweaty to the extent there are more wheelchairs.

On MSNBC, Chris Matthews asserted that "we don't know who watches NBC... "[D]id it surprise you that I was so much of a bigot and asshole tonight? I spent an hour with Nancy Reagan humping Russert's grave. And Russert's dad drove his studebaker down from Buffalo to make loud farting noises.
A,
You don't have to say that he "has issues."
You can say that he's "a racist." Because that's what Smathews is. He is a sexist and a racist and it's a sign of what degraded time we inhabit that he's still on tv spouting his sexism and his racism.

At least 17 people have been killed and at least 14 injured in a car bomb attack in the Syrian capital Damascus.
The car bomb, which Syrian public television said contained about 200kg of explosives, went off in a southern suburb of the capital at about 8am [0500 GMT] on Saturday.
All of the victims are believed to be civilians.
The bombing occurred at an intersection leading to Saydah Zeinab, a holy shrine for Shia Muslims that is visited by Iranian and Iraqi pilgrims.
The blast site is close to a security post in the Sidi Qada district near the airport road, Abdul Hameed Tawfiq, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Damascus, reported.

Matthews has previously questioned whether Obama can "now win over the regular folks, white folks, against John McCain," and has asked whether Obama can "connect with regular people" or if he appeals "only appeal[s] to people who come from the African-American community and from the people who have college or advanced degrees."

Agreed, the best option is for both Rethugs and Dems to vote it down.
Politically the Dems have to be careful here, if they vote no and the repubs vote yes, and it doesn't pass and the dow tanks and loads of big banks go under then the dems are blamed.
This is just not popular with anybody, except the ones that have personal stake in the market, with their 401K plans and jobs tied into the financial sector.
Locally here our smaller banks never got tied into the sub-prime mess and they will do just fine. They are still giving out auto and college loans.

Interesting take on McCain:
As a psychotherapist and someone who treats people with anger management problems, we typically try to educate people that anger is often an emotion that masks other emotions. I think it's significant that McCain didn't make much, if any, eye contact because it suggests one of two things to me; he doesn't want to make eye contact because he is prone to losing control of his emotions if he deals directly with the other person, or, his anger masks fear and the eye contact may increase or substantiate the fear.
I noticed him doing the same thing in the Republican primary debates. The perception observers are likely to have is that he is unwilling to acknowledge the opponent's legitimacy and/or is contemptuous of the opponent.

We've had a very good run for the last couple weeks. We have a small ability to stash real cash and are starting to do so. If a depression does come, how will actual money fare in that kind of an environment? Would it be dangerous, or would it be like gold? Will cash be too deflated to use?

The Base will abandon him if she leaves
I think it will be more than just the psychos that abandon him. If Palin gets booted, he has to admit that he made a big mistake in choosing her, and that will weigh against him very negatively.
If she's retained, he can at least hope that enough people aren't paying attention to her for her to make a fatal difference to his election prospects.
Either way, though, he's gor a boat anchor around his neck.

Um, yeah.
A bomb blast at a market in India's capital has killed one person and injured at least 15 others.
The market, in the Mehrauli area, was packed with shoppers when, according to eyewitnesses, two men drove up in a motorcycle and dropped a package.
Police have described it as a low intensity explosive device.
Two weeks ago, five bombs ripped through busy shopping areas in Delhi, killing at least 20 people. Nearly 50 were killed in Ahmadabad in July.
Police say they have arrested the head of a group claiming the attacks.

for? Mrs Toonscribe and I have differing opinions, and she says I pick

This is really tough. Over the last several years I've noticed things about my trees and their fruit that co-relate with ripeness. First, -after- they finish being bright red and have become leathery and brownish? Ripe. Second, for me, they have been ripe in November - not ripe in October. Third, when they seem really, really heavy they're probably ripe. And when a very gentle tug takes them off the tree, they're pretty much ready. The key tho is waiting til after they pass that beautiful bright red phase.
Do you mean 'devaluated'?
Uhhh.. Yeah. That's the ticket.
The U.S. Mint is temporarily halting sales of its American Buffalo 24-karat gold coins because it can't keep up with soaring demand as investors seek the safety of gold amid economic turbulence. The 1-ounce coin has a face value of $50 but is priced for sale according to the fluctuating value of gold.

Okay. There are runs on banks, where you try to get your paper money out, and you're unlucky and they close the door in your face, so all you have is paper that says you have paper money there.
But say you manage to get your paper money out of the bank. But very soon your money doesn't have much money in it. How soon after only having paper that says you have paper money does your paper money not mean jack shit? Like in Zimbabwe, where if you go to a restaurant for a meal, you pay in advance, because otherwise it's doubled in price before you get dessert.
So, like, it's a downhill slide of epic proportions to have a run on the banks. Does having no money in your money only happen after yet another epic downhill slide? What materially changes? When does your mattress lose all its worth?
Don't bother. I'll figure it out or whatever.

The neat thing about pomegranates is that their fertility is entirely governed by the amount of water they get. No water - no fruit. Some water - some fruit.

Some banks sell them. Wells Fargo has international banking at many locations. Those sell the most common currencies and stock them. Many others can be ordered ahead of time. I think Bank of America does this too.
Keynes is a name that should not be forgotten in all this depression discussion. He points out that the way to get out of depression is by increasing public spending and that in general demand should be kept up. If we all stop consuming then the firms which sell things will fail sooner and things will get worse.

Having lived through two weeks in the 4th largest city in the country without electricity (in most of the city), let me say it will be harder than you imagine.
Rmj, Poor Man's Theologist
Rmj, I didn't mean to suggest it would be easy, nor would I denigrate the hell you've just been through.
But the fact that you did live through it, with your wisdom and good sense intact, seems to add credence to my theory.
The thing is, if everything really does go south in terms of the economy, I think a whole lot more people will survive than the the powers-that-be anticipate. We really could start from scratch because we've been there.
How many people here have really "been there"?
Have you lived in impoverished circumstances?
My mother did as a child, and despite her stories of tough times, I would be a fool to say that I could really imagine what it would be like.
But the fact that you did live through it, with your wisdom and good sense intact, seems to add credence to my theory.

There was a group of angry, middle-class people actually protesting the fact they didn't have power back yet. I mean with signs and chants, like an anti-war rally.
And "hell" it wasn't, which is my point. It was chaos (every intersection a 4-way stop), it was hot, it was dark at night. In the '30's, that was the norm. Today?
Severe dislocations are easier and more damaging than we imagine, and more pernicious. I've had a taste of it, and surviving it will be no cakewalk for anyone.
We use apple cider vinegar, diluted by about 3/4ths.
The receipt that was used in my family:
Take one egg, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lemon juice, (or cider vinegar) mix in blender. Melt Castille soap in a double boiler. Add about a tablespoon or so to the mixture. Blend all the items in the blender until the mixture is combined well. Add a couple drops of lavender or rosemary oil to the blender to scent your shampoo- blend again until the scent is completely mixed with the shampoo. Pour the mixture into a clean bottle with a lid. Use before egg is rancid.

"you make my boner feel ethnic"-Tweety to Erin Burnett
If you can in any way, shape or form scrape enough money together to go to the dentist, do it. Get as much work done as you need and can afford, then brush and floss and see the hygienist a couple times a year. If times get really bad and supply lines are totally disrupted, it'd be good to face it with as few outstanding problems as possible.
I know this is hard for a lot of people to manage, but I also know that there are a lot of folks who can get the money together but put off dental work because it's such a pain. Don't. Do it now.
Something I need to do is get back-up eyeglasses. I wear contact lenses, but my back-up glasses are old and beat-up and taped together. So tiresome in an emergency.
Mathews is right.
Obama didn't call Jim Lehrer "m-f-er" even once all night!
Aha -- that's the stupid remark from Tweety I was trying to remember. I remembered the one before the debate about Obama looking too pleased with himself, or some such, but I knew there was a stupid remark just after the debate too.
False. He was eating chicken wings and watermelon on every commercial break.
