I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

aha


Blogger is Back


GravatarI can get to Atrios's awesome blogspot page but I cannot get to my own.

Discrimination!!!


GravatarAnd bold


GravatarCurse you, Tralfaz.


GravatarNOT PELOSI!


Gravatarwheeeeee!


Gravatara light weekend, eh?


GravatarBTW, Barnsley's Cinderella run in the FA cup continues. 1-0 over Chelsea!!!!


GravatarThe Republican Economy comes thru again!


GravatarSo when Bernanke talks, Wall Street listens?


GravatarBlogger was definitely bloggered.

I felt like an addict faced with the loss of my fix.


Gravatara light weekend, eh?

Yeah, only 17 lattes instead of his usual 63.


GravatarDon't margin calls like this mean that these companies are, like, bankrupt, fucked over and fried?


GravatarI felt like an addict faced with the loss of my fix.

Wait for Bush's "Food Recession."


GravatarSHIT, I really think we retired too soon. At least I have more debt with Citibank than savings.


GravatarThe Carlyle Group couldn't make a margin call? It couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.

Can't they use a fleet of Strykers as collateral? I think some domestic security agencies might want to stock up.


GravatarSo... What does that mean? What's the significance of a "systemic margin call"? Is this the point where the snowball becomes too big to stop?


GravatarThe crumbling economy is gonna make Huggy Bear's TERRA! campaign resonate?

I think not.


GravatarThis doesn't look good at all. Is it possible that Mr. Bush is wrong about the strong economy?


GravatarMarion Jones goes to the slammer today. And who lead Team Jones?

Chris Lehane and Mark Fabiani


GravatarThornburg isn't subprime either. Thornburg is Alt-A jumbo loans.


GravatarYour "WHEEEEEEEE" blogging is hurting this economy, Atrios!


GravatarAre we at the point yet where Bush and MCain blame this on the democrats?


GravatarThe crumbling economy is gonna make Huggy Bear's TERRA! campaign resonate?

it will no doubt boost his plans to privatize social security.


GravatarThis doesn't look good at all. Is it possible that Mr. Bush is wrong about the strong economy?
Diane C. Barking-Mad

Unpossible!

However, the last time he said we had a strong economy the Dow Jones fell by more than 2000 points in a few months.


GravatarIt means get the hell out of the way.

Don't try to catch a falling knife.


GravatarJesus. The sand the economy of the last few years was built on is really starting to turn to slurry.


GravatarAre we at the point yet where Bush and MCain blame this on the democrats?

GravatarAt least Marion Jones had the stones to admit what she did and take her punishment, Mr. Clemens.


GravatarAre we at the point yet where Bush and MCain blame this on the democrats?

They will leave that to the New York Times.


GravatarHussein Obama on Wyoming:

"These cowboy crackers are clueless. I'm gonna national-park the whole f__king state.."


GravatarThornburg's going down? That hits locally - their CEO lives here, and is currently building a giga-footage mansion in town that only the contractors love.

Great, now we'll have a half- finished mansion rotting away on a hilltop.


GravatarYour "WHEEEEEEEE" blogging is hurting this economy, Atrios!
Zap Rowsdower


yeah.

try and be more soothing in future.


GravatarJesus. The sand the economy of the last few years was built on is really starting to turn to slurry.

I like grape slurries.

Oh, uh...slushies.


GravatarI am currently drinking Fairtrade Wine

me and my mum have had a Fairtrade day, which included helping with a Fairtrade Fashion show and stalls in the Corn Exchange

its Fairhills South African Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz


GravatarAtrios is just waitin to buy on the low end.


GravatarLubyanka: "I can't think, so I cut and paste feces."


GravatarYou can get slushy behind the tastee freeze for fiddy cents.


GravatarGreat, now we'll have a half- finished mansion rotting away on a hilltop.

Expect a visit from ELF sooon.


Gravatar"These cowboy crackers are clueless. I'm gonna national-park the whole f__king state.."

Better than nuking the whole fucking economy.


GravatarI'm going to sell a portion of this thread to Rezko


GravatarSystemic margin call. Sounds bad.


GravatarThornburg is Toll Brother McMansions with good credit, good income, but not necessarily 20% down. Thornburg is a 750,000 dollar house now worth six hundred. Hey, evey if your bringing in 150k per year, the lack of morale hazard makes walking away look like good economic sense. This is where the subprime finger can no longer be pointed at the working poor.


GravatarGreat, now we'll have a half- finished mansion rotting away on a hilltop.

It'll be perfect for an OTC Zyrtec commercial!


GravatarAck. And go Barnsley.


Gravatar"These cowboy crackers are clueless. I'm gonna national-park the whole f__king state.."
Lubyanka


You're allowed to use the "F" word here. We're "Liberal", remember?


GravatarExpect a visit from ELF sooon.

LOL!


GravatarAck. And go Barnsley.

ah i'm guessing your following a FA cup match!


GravatarLooneyyanker. A prisoner of his own nym.


GravatarAck. And go Barnsley.

What does that mean?


GravatarMaybe I missed the joke, but national park-ing wyoming sounds like a *good* idea to me! And I'd add many more states to that list...


Gravatar"These cowboy crackers are clueless. I'm gonna national-park the whole f__king state.."

if you plan to visit, be prepared to show your papers


GravatarIf people in commercial businesses are worried about their prospects, can you spare a moment to commiserate with the human service types who are not only screwed out of their livelihoods, but also see the things they care about most personally being utterly destroyed?

Gravatarah i'm guessing your following a FA cup match!
Moonbootica


You'd be right! My roommate is a deranged Arsenal supporter (as is one of our neighbors), so I get my football through osmosis.


GravatarBarnsley are playing against Chelsea in the FA cup

FA stands for Football Association


GravatarAck. And go Barnsley.

What does that mean?


Isn't that what Neil Armstrong said? Along with "good luck..."?


GravatarGreat, now we'll have a half- finished mansion rotting away on a hilltop.

It'll be perfect for an OTC Zyrtec commercial!


Or a couple sitting in separate bath tubs waiting for the cialis to kick in so they can, um, sit in seprate bath tubs.


GravatarLooks like Pastor Hagee was right about the global economic meltdown.

GravatarHillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.


GravatarThis is what I have to say to them all.


GravatarLooks like Pastor Hagee was right about the global economic meltdown.

looks like goehring was right about the invasion of poland.

Maybe she has to lay her eggs in one tub, then he fertilizes them by "snaking"" over the rim. Or something.


GravatarBarnsley is a town in South Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Dearne, 11.8 miles (19 km) north of the city of Sheffield, and 14.5 miles (23 km) west of Doncaster. Barnsley is surrounded by several smaller settlements which together form the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, of which Barnsley is the largest settlement and administrative centre. Barnsley has a total population of over 72,000.

Today, Barnsley is commonly referred to as "The Tarn" by many of its residents. It is between junctions 36 and 37 of the M1 motorway and has a railway station served by the Hallam and Penistone Lines. Barnsley F.C. is the local Association Football club.

Gravatarsnaking over the rim.


excellent album title!


GravatarHeh...they're having an "indie classics" sale over at iTunes.

I guess I'm more of a hipster-doofus than I thought...I own a lot of the albums they've got there.


GravatarTheir timing was off. The collapse happened a year too early.


GravatarThe Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The Football Association. The name "FA Cup" refers to the English men's tournament.


GravatarHillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland

But you should see her George Mitchell impersonation. You'd swear it was the man himself.


GravatarLooks like Obama is gonna win tiny-ass Wyoming primary (I'm pretty shure this is the first time I've ever written the word "Wyoming").


GravatarBarack Ken Starr Obama, in Casper WY:

"I am not now, nor have I ever been, a smooth-talking, ass-kissing pussy..."


GravatarI've had dozens of really humourous conversations with Europeans wondering if Americans had sex with their clothes on - you know, because people are always semi-clothed in movies when pretending to have sex


GravatarAs many other Federal Agencies have been, the National Parks have been on starvation diets for tears


Gravatar"Their timing was off. The collapse happened a year too early."

Missed it by that much.

Thanks Helicopter Ben Frothy Bubbles Al.

Gravatarlawdy.

nap time.


Gravatarthere was one Swedish woman who was telling me she saw a fully clothed woman lying in a bathtub in one American commercial

much hilarity ensued


GravatarIt's a caucus. Dems are a tiny minority in Darth Cheney's Wyoming.


GravatarIf I commit a crime in the future by going in on a sweetheart land deal with a crook, I'll just dismiss it later on by saying it was a "boneheaded" move.

This aw shucks shit is stupid.

The Big Media needs to bring BHO down to Hillary's level.

They owe her that much.


GravatarThornburg declined 24% after hours, but before the JPM report - from 28 bucks to less than a $1.40 in less than one year!

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TMA

They will be in bankruptcy court Monday morning, I'm sure.


GravatarWhat the headlines shoud read is this:

US goes bankruptcy under the Bush administration.

All those unbid contracts combined with unconscious loans for US housing (get-rich schemes) along with credit card bamboozling mingled with lowered, distorted and unstable federal government prime loan rates.

You just watch, Bush and Cheney have this nation on the very verge of a financial collapse.

Anyday now, we’re going to see a major run on US banks. It will cost the US a lot, having ignoring all criminal shit Bush and Cheney were doing?


GravatarBEIRUT: Iraqi refugees in Lebanon are suffering from high levels of emotional and psychological distress, said a study released this week by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) aimed at assessing the mental health and psychosocial needs of Iraqi refugees in Lebanon and Jordan.

More than half of those interviewed disclosed distress factors including panic attacks, anger, tiredness, sleep problems and fears, said the assessment, which was carried out between November 2007 and January 2008 among 800 people in the two countries.

For the 34 percent of respondents in Lebanon who had experienced direct violent attacks - including witnessing assassinations of relatives and friends, torture, rape or kidnappings - psychological distress was overwhelming.

The list of factors aggravating the situation - particularly acute among Iraqis who have been displaced for two years or longer - includes the insecurity of their refugee life, a lack of employment and the de-professionalization of Iraqis whose qualifications are unrecognized, poor living conditions and access to health and social services, including education.

Domestic violence is on the rise among the refugee families, as men lose their traditional role as breadwinner with the breakdown of social structures, a sense of disorientation within the Iraqi communities in the two countries, and few opportunities to engage in social activities, all of which lead to physical expressions of anger and frustration.

Fifteen percent of the women interviewed in female-only focus groups reported an increase in violence in the family. "A well-raised Iraqi woman should tolerate everything in silence. My husband has no other way to get rid of his anger," one woman told researchers.

GravatarBlogger and haloscan had a systemic crunch for me the last 30-40 minutes or so.


GravatarI've had dozens of really humourous conversations with Europeans

i find that difficult to believe.


GravatarImagine bringing anything to Toby's level. Cheeto dust is all there would be.


Gravatar"crypto-economist and self-styled 'progressive' blogger Dunkin Atrios-Donut once again wets his always-bunched panties in glee as some of his fellow citizens lose their homes...

whee whee..."


Gravataryipe!


Gravatardirk, really?

I don't find that Europeans lack a sense of humour.

Everybody's is different, but there isn't any lack


GravatarWho the hell ordered all this snow?? Huh?? Jr??? Was it you???


GravatarI don't find that Europeans lack a sense of humour.

i didn't mean that.


GravatarPeople who believe that the President has power over the American economy are the same kind of people who think that an unqualified Chicago machine politician is ready for the White House.

Just because he's "different" doesn't mean that we should make him President.


GravatarAs much as I'd like to witness another meltdown, I should go do stuff.

Later.


GravatarIf I commit a crime in the future by going in on a sweetheart land deal with a crook, I'll just dismiss it later on by saying it was a "boneheaded" move.

what if you commit a crime in the future by raping and torching a dog?


GravatarKos may need turkee.


GravatarDoes this mean Tucker Carlson's father will have to sell his cane collection.


Gravatarsheets. or owls. or wolves. or something.

the cock crows at midnight.


GravatarHe had the power to spend trillions we don't have on a stupid war.

Everytime he talks the market tanks.

He has plenty of Bad influence.


Gravataryipeyipe!


GravatarI'm guessing that dirk doesn't doubt that Europeans have a sense of humo(u)r...


GravatarQuestion: If I have a small bit of savings in CDs in my bank, will it be safe? Really not a lot, but enough to keep us going for a couple or three months if no other money came in during that period.


GravatarAre they negotiable and liquid?


GravatarWith interest rates as low as they are, if you have another secure place.....


Gravatarwhat if you commit a crime in the future by raping and torching a dog?

Run for president, and get endorsed by Lubyanka, Toby, a few christian rock groups, Jonah and Rush Limbaugh?


GravatarGlenn Greenwald has a you tube up of Josh Bolton being interviewed by the BBC. The reporter's reactions to Bolton's responses are priceless. He is obviously horrified by Bolton.


GravatarPeople who believe that the President has power over the American economy

Dumbasses who thought FDR had a clue, you mean?

You're one of the abject fucksticks who thinks Reagan was god, right?

How hard does a human being have to try to stay this stupid?


GravatarAtrios,

did you see Fitch Rating's downgrades of WaMu, B of A, citi, and Wells Fargo?

As the late Robert Shaw said in "Jaws," "A litte seekin', a little tenderizin', and DOWN YOU GO!


Gravatarhey, turns out the multiplier effect is bidirectional...who knew?
.


Gravatarthese fuckers can lie on the ground and shake as far as i'm concerned. i pulled what was left of my mutual funds out of merrill lynch back in '03.

the bush legacy: DEPRESSION.


GravatarThis is the end of the beginning and the beginning of middle of the financial/economic crisis. Cascading failures always result from credit and leverage-fueled speculative booms. Once this deleveraging completes we will be at the beginning of the end, which is the long slog back to a growth economy.


GravatarHILLARY™ WINS!!!


GravatarMarion Jones goes to jail today? Let's see, Martha Stewart goes to jail,Lil Kim goes to jail, Marion Jones goes to jail. Male, friends of the administration, I am going to bet on no jail time.


GravatarYikes! I hope this JP Morgan thing should be taken with a grain of salt or something.
