So it's not really morning in America?
Sardinia (pronounced /sɑrˈdɪnɪə/; Italian: Sardegna; Sardinian: Sardigna or Sardinnya) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily). The area of Sardinia is 24,090 square kilometres (9,301 sq mi). The nearest land masses to the island are (clockwise from north) the French island of Corsica, the Italian Peninsula, Tunisia, and the Balearic Islands. Sardinia is part of Italy, with a special statute of regional autonomy under the Italian Constitution. The name is of unknown origin, though it may have to do with a tribe called the Sardi.
I think Sardinia is named after the sardine, which is a small fish that tastes good when packed in mustard.

Shiller says (responding to "Is Green Shoots the right metaphor?"), "Nothing is green".
which is a small fish that tastes good when packed in mustard.
Yep. I agree completely.
we had a staycation during harvest season so we could be locavores, but our old frenemy set our house on fire during dessert.
Shiller: unreasonable reliance and trust in quantitative models.
Rachel's pop culture guy implied that Burt and Ernie were frenemies.
Good morning.
Out of that list I like "pullin' a Palin" and "staycation."
Staycation actually expresses something useful in a compact way. We've been taking staycations for years. It's a viable option in NYC when the nicest time to be here is the holiday weekends when most of the city empties out.
Back in the day, the "staycation" was known as visiting Porch City.
Or so I have been told.
hecate - I had heard a few on the list.
A few of them, I learned here!

The Red Queen, my gf, is currently in the Depths of Despair because (bear with me here) her ex-husband's replacement wife (over a decade now) is planning the 21st birthday party for their (the RQ and her ex) daughter.
All they asked is that we share the costs. Seemed fair to me, but the RQ is now Emotionally Devastated over not being asked to Lend a Hand. And that the Replacement Wife is now Devastated over the RQ's Devastation?
Did I mention that this party is tomorrow? And all of this bullshit got stirred up over a single phone call yesterday?

AIG Seeks Clearance For More Bonuses
$2.4 Million in Executive Payments Due Next Week
American International Group is preparing to pay millions of dollars more in bonuses to several dozen top corporate executives after an earlier round of payments four months ago set off a national furor.
The exact range of the payments due this month to AIG executives was unclear in company disclosure filings.
AIG's proxy statement filed last month explains why AIG initially instituted the retention payments. The company stated that after the federal bailout began in September, "we needed to confront the fact that many of our employees, perhaps the majority, knew that their long-term future with us was limited, and our competitors knew that our key producers could perhaps be lured away. . . . Allowing departures to erode the strength of our businesses would have damaged our ability to repay taxpayers for their assistance."
Separately this week, a Citigroup analyst warned that AIG might be worthless to shareholders if or when it ever pays back the billions it owes the U.S. government.
"Our valuation includes a 70 percent chance that the equity at AIG is zero," Joshua Shanker of Citigroup wrote in a note to investors. He cites the continuing risks posed by the company's exotic derivative contracts, called credit-default swaps, and its sale of assets at low prices. AIG's stock plummeted by more than 25 percent yesterday.

Sardines: Dr. Bowden calls them “health food in a can.” They are high in omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.

The 350 million doallar F22 Sucks!
Premier U.S. Fighter Jet Has Major Shortcomings
F-22's Maintenance Demands Growing
The United States' top fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F-22, has recently required more than 30 hours of maintenance for every hour in the skies, pushing its hourly cost of flying to more than $44,000, a far higher figure than for the warplane it replaces, confidential Pentagon test results show.
The aircraft's radar-absorbing metallic skin is the principal cause of its maintenance troubles, with unexpected shortcomings -- such as vulnerability to rain and other abrasion -- challenging Air Force and contractor technicians since the mid-1990s, according to Pentagon officials, internal documents and a former engineer.
While most aircraft fleets become easier and less costly to repair as they mature, key maintenance trends for the F-22 have been negative in recent years, and on average from October last year to this May, just 55 percent of the deployed F-22 fleet has been available to fulfill missions guarding U.S. airspace, the Defense Department acknowledged this week. The F-22 has never been flown over Iraq or Afghanistan.
Sensitive information about troubles with the nation's foremost air-defense fighter is emerging in the midst of a fight between the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress over whether the program should be halted next year at 187 planes, far short of what the Air Force and the F-22's contractors around the country had anticipated.
"It is a disgrace that you can fly a plane [an average of] only 1.7 hours before it gets a critical failure" that jeopardizes success of the aircraft's mission, said a Defense Department critic of the plane who is not authorized to speak on the record. Other skeptics inside the Pentagon note that the planes, designed 30 years ago to combat a Cold War adversary, have cost an average of $350 million apiece and say they are not a priority in the age of small wars and terrorist threats.

The US kicked ass and took names during the Iraq invasion and ended up in a hopeless military situation.
Obama has 4 or 8 years to try to govern. He has very limited tools to reward or punish people - much more now that the supposedly worthless stimulus passed. What do people who say he should "kick ass" mean concretely? Remember, Harry Truman was totally combative and lost every fucking round to the pukes. Talking loud is no assurance of strength or success.

It is the ordinary people who need a big help right now.
