V, I haven't been able to type correctly all day! Don't know what that's all about.
Without the finance/securitization problem, we would have had a semi-painful "adjustment" when the housing-price bubble burst, rather than a debacle.
I'd like to know when I'm gonna lose my house. I want to plan ahead.
The problem with these stories is that the people who should really be feeling the pain don't and the people who should be administrating the pain (The Law)were the ones who asked for it in the first place.

It would be nice to be able to plan ahead, but there's not much chance of that at the moment.

hi, jeffraham

dt'd:
I got the kitty's Christmas presents today, and since I am a soft-hearted old softy, I gave them to him. I got him a little fleece cushion (sold
as a small dog cushion) and opened it up and put catnip inside it. Oh, does he like that. He just spent the last twenty minutes pawing it and
rubbing his face on it and you know how they do, and now he's curled up like a little teakettle on his catnip cushion. It's exactly the right size for his cute self. And of course he has a bowl of fresh 'nip right next to him, and a selection of salmon-flavored tender treats or whatever they are, and a brand new particle accelerator. But he likes his cushion best.

Atrios - check out the FT article on how the Fed is going to refloat the securitization market by lending money to HEDGE FUNDS.
all you had to do was look at home prices, look at incomes, and realize that not enough people actually made enough money to afford those mortgages

I should have been more clear. I'm going threw "hot talk" radios attack on the unions in the auto industry. After the bail out is over the ad reps from GM will be looking to advertise again. Who do they go to? Why the conservative talk radio host of course! They are the real americans! How do we know because they have supported American industry (except during the time when they really needed it.) Well maybe you just want to reach their audience, good luck! They have been using the time between your commercials to tainting your brand and attacking your company for weeks suggesting you don't deserve a bail out.
So when you come back to the table with ad money, why would you want to support these people who could not be bothered by the facts and who decided your workers weren't worthy of their pensions?

No, really? Shit.
The Bush Legacy:
Armando Falcon Jr. was preparing to take on a couple of giants.
Mr. Falcon’s report outlined a worst-case situation in which Fannie and Freddie could default on debt
Today, the White House cites that report — and its subsequent effort to better regulate Fannie and Freddie — as evidence that it foresaw the crisis and tried to avert it. Bush officials recently wrote up a talking points memo headlined “G.S.E.’s — We Told You So.”
But the back story is more complicated. To begin with, on the day Mr. Falcon issued his report, the White House tried to fire him.
We are not elling-tay the itties-kay that it's istmas-Cray. Because our new tradition is: Ignore it!
(Although I am managing to get festively annoyed with certain humans of my acquaintance at the moment.)
I canned some stuff to shove at people in a surly and resentful manner, though, so that's all done.
I just heard that Falk has Alzheimers. Sad.

Yes, unfortunately. Here.
all you had to do was look at home prices, look at incomes, and realize that not enough people actually made enough money to afford those mortgages
It was that and it was homeowners who could afford their present mortgage situation refinancing, not just for a lower payment, but 30 or 40 grand more against their equity to just piss into the wind.
And the fucking lenders were pushing that shit like crack.
It's only human nature that many people would sign up for that shit.

I knew a lawyer like that once. Wore sharkskin suits, narrow ties, and white socks. Had short hair and no sideburns (this was ca. 1972), When he went into a courtroom, the slick Madison Avenue dudes would smirk at their coming triumph. A half hour later, the Madison Avenue dudes would slink out of the courtroom, humiliated and sobbing, wondering what just happened.
Hm, I haven't seen those purr pads. What are they?
The cushion is a rectangle of dense quilt batting inside an envelope pillowcase made out of the stuff airline pillowcases are made of, inside a zipper slipcover with sherpa fleece on one side and smooth fabric on the other. It's about an inch thick.
I was looking for something like that; he has a fleece kittybowl with a heating pad in it, but he's not interested in it. (Felix liked it, though.) But this little cushion with the zipper, I can put the heating pad in it too and help the kitty stay warm. (Felix stayed warm on cold nights by sleeping on me, sometimes even under the covers, but Frango won't do that. So he needs a heating pad.)
RE: Big Dig and Logan.

I knew a lot of brilliant people in the hi-tech business that got their asses handed to them by people who would happily lie and use both legal and marketing power to crush their opponent.
I especially loved to advise companies that wanted to talk on Microsoft in some area. "The streets of Mountainview and Sunnyvale are filled with the bodies of people who thought they could out maneuver Microsoft. You are better off going after the phone company they are clueless in technology, but they will kick your ass in regulation."

Of all of the infuriating things that have happened in this financial mess, it's the zombie lies that the UAW hasn't/wouldn't make concessions that pleased the GOP. They did. They had to for the first bill to get voted on. Yet DeMint and his poo-flingers went of the fucking deep end saying that they wouldn't budge. They did; and when they did, these knobs said they didn't. Why does America hate unions?
hi, songbird. some crazy shit, that is. i say enough dumb stuff in here accidentally, but that level of stupid defies logic...

The GOP would like to see work houses come back in a big fucking way.
So, I went to take a shower this morning, turned on the hot water tap in the tub...and nothing happened. Got down to about 11 last night, and though we have been trickling cold water overnight on all our taps, we didn't think it was needed for the hot water.
Took 3.5 hrs of space heater towards the wall in the basement, and then, we had the brilliant idea of running the dryer, whose outlet was near the pipes. Voila!
Just glad we got it before the pipe burst. Fuck. And that nice storm we're supposed to be getting looks like it's getting closer.
Andy -- the only "concession" the UAW could make to satisfy the 'thugs would be to agree to stop being a fucking union, already.

Andy: The conservative radio hosts hate the unions too. They can now happily say, "Buy American, buy a Toyota!" since they are made in America.
My audience for the letter is the ad reps and marketers at the big three.
The radio hosts have insulted your company, your brand, your management and your employees. They've called your management incompetent, the union leaders liars and thieves. In addition, during your time of need, where the jobs of millions of American workers were on the line they suggested you go bankrupt and default on your obligations to previous workers. If you check the records of your ad buyers you will see that these insults they are currently rewarded with extensive radio buys via your local co-opt program.
They are more concerned with punishing the unions and your retirees than the health of your company or the over all economy. Perhaps it is because they figure that they can survive on BMW, Toyota and Honda ads. If you challenge them they will point to their personal ownership of American vehicles, but based on what they say time and time again they have to true to their conservative "values" which include denying you help from the government, a destruction of your union, and eliminating your retirees health and pension benefits.
When you get back on your feet financially they will happily take your ads again, they might even say that it was nothing personal, it was just business when they suggested you die. You might wish to also say that your decision to not advertise on their program is nothing personal either, but that your values as an American company, who supports its workers, is incompatible with their views. I'm sure they will understand.

Came home some years on a cold winter day and just happened to immediately go down to the basement. Don't remember why, but it was not something I would usually do. I was greeted with a spray of water coming though the insulation on the basement wall. (walk out basement) It had just started so no significant amount of water on the floor.
Turns out the plumber had attached a line running to the outside faucet to the bare concrete wall and then the insulation installers had put up the insulation so that the water line was on the wrong side of the insulation.

I designed and built a little contraption that measures the outside air temperature. My water line freezes somewhere underground along a 100 foot run. When the set point low is reached (I set it about 19 F) it triggers a pre-programmed timer relay that opens an electrical solenoid valve that dumps 4 gallons of water into the sump well. Four gallons is about equal to an older toilet flush. I chose that amount because my supply line is then refilled with warmer water from the main in the street.
It works perfectly, even when I'm out of town and of course shuts of above 19F.

Gummint: We'll give you everything you want, only under the condition that we can give you more than that.
Nah. I have a few old family rings with stones I'm thinking of consolidating into one piece or jewelry.

happy solstice night, everyone.
Well, I think I ought to go do some gift wrapping. I got my dear husband a nice warm down coat (sh, don't tell him) and polartec hat, scarf, & gloves, and I think I might have him open it tonight so he doesn't freeze tomorrow when we're supposed to have a high of 7 (count 'em, 7) degrees and a wind chill far below zero.
Even if he opens the outerwear presents tonight, he'll still have the books & things to open Christmas morning.
hey stoat.
Tonight's the solstice? No wonder I feel like celebrating!
Let's dance naked around the Yule fire!
stoat -- and a merry long dark night to you, sir.

Thanks. It's my favorite day of the year. Same to you and to everyone. Blessed be.
what are you up to this evening, ms f?
this feels like my holiday today and tonight, for some reason.
very by myself which is bad and not so bad.
Usually I'm more or less indifferent to Christmas. This year I'm wearing cammo and smearing black shoe polish under my eyes.
It's. on. my. nerves.
It is tomorrow so tonight is solstice eve.

going to an open house tomorrow and when dark whoever is there is heading off to this solstice 'event.'
doubt if I'll make it but it looks like (cold) fun.
solstice eve, i think, if i could think.
And it's already the 21st in some parts of the world...
i bought two bottles of champagne at work tonight. both could be in jeopardy.
i still need to go to the grocery.

Oh, sorry, that wasn't very generous.
Please forgive me if I seem to take the tone of judgment

Oh yeah, Lexie - the Rottweiler Puppy says, "Hi. Got anything to eat?"
i am thrilled not to be on the dole this Christmas, to have a job, ok not my dream job but it'll do for now
its nice being able to not worry about money
but i got so incensed the other day, the Beeb was reporting about the closing down of Woolworths and they interviewed several people coming out of the stores and all they could whine about was the fact that the store had not made their stuff cheap enough
I mean fuck hundreds employed by Woolworths are going to be made redundant and all those shopping there can think about is that it should be cheaper, i mean its so horrible
i called it 'solstice night' on no authority but my own.
the longest night has begun. at seven tomorrow morning everything imperceptibly begins becoming lighter longer and so on until summer.

Merci, although OTOH, they are depending on me more and more. This year they'd have left the entirety of the cooking to me on Xmas Day, which means the night after I arrived, I'd spend all day in the kitchen. I was able to point out to them my brother and his wife are going to be in town starting tomorrow, and she could prepare some of the meal ahead of time.
Otherwise, it does beat the alternative.

The brown, thick-soled “Model 271” may soon be renamed “The Bush Shoe” or “Bye-Bye Bush,” Ramazan Baydan, who owns the Istanbul-based producer Baydan Ayakkabicilik San. & Tic., said in a telephone interview today.
“We’ve been selling these shoes for years but, thanks to Bush, orders are flying in like crazy,” he said. “We’ve even hired an agency to look at television advertising.”

I've never been known for my diplomatic skills.
You didn't believe that, did you? Levi is gone with the wind. He is Audi 5000. He's Casper. He's ghost like Swayze.

Can we call him Aaron Burr from the way he's dropping Hamiltons!

fair enough
sending it will just irritate the person in question and lead to nothing constructive.
I've lived my life for 37 years irritating people and non-constructive behavior. It worked for me! It's like Dianetics!
Aaron Burr/Raymond Burr

Hamilton Burger/Perry Mason
it's all swirling together now
still,
Can we call him Aaron Burr from the way he's dropping Hamiltons!
Oh that's a good one. Absolutely!

Monica, I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
Alrighty, I'm back. In all the excitement today I'd almost forgotten to give Aziza her shot. So did that, fed birds, and started a broccoli cheddar quiche...and I made bird bread earlier...better get my baking done now, in case the power goes out!
And yes, it is snowing!

that's a colourful report and full of energy
Baydan has received orders for 300,000 pairs of the shoes since the attack, more than four times the number his company sold each year since the model was introduced in 1999. The company plans to employ 100 more staff to meet demand, he said.
“Model 271” is exported to markets including Iraq, Iran, Syria and Egypt. Customers in Iraq ordered 120,000 pairs this week and some Iraqis offered to set up distribution companies for the shoe, Baydan said.
Holy Shit!

GHWB pardoned all the crooks that could have sent up to silence them but the prosecutors made a big fucking mistake then by not forcing them to testify because they couldn't then claim the 5th.
Looks like the idiot learned something after all. Just kill 'em.

Wait wait...don't kvetch to me!
Obama picks Gary Gensler -- a derivatives-loving deregulation enthusiast -- to head the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Oh, goody, yet another Clintonian fox hired by Obama to guard the hen house:
Obama Regulatory Pick Blocked Influence of Agency He’ll Now Head
http://www.propublica.org/articl...l-now-head-
1219
Gensler was a top negotiator for the White House in discussions with Congress in support of the now-controversial Commodity Modernization Futures Act of 2000. The law largely prevented the SEC and the CFTC from regulating credit default swaps and other complex instruments that would later wreak havoc with financial markets. Gensler also played a prominent role in batting down an effort by the CFTC to regulate these derivatives. More recently, Gensler has led Obama's SEC transition team.
And the wonders of derivatives? It wasn't as if the masters of the universe weren't aware of the well-documented disasters wrought by these funny-money instruments -- they were responsible for pushing Orange County into bankruptcy:
Regulators witnessed the dangers from these financial instruments when Orange County, Calif., declared bankruptcy in 1994 after it lost $1.6 billion in derivative trading.
But the masters of the universe wanted more deregulation: The Commodity Modernization Futures Act of 2000 contained the infamous Enron Loophole which opened the door to unregulated trading of credit default swaps, the financial instruments blamed, in part, for the current economic meltdown. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/1...?
pagewanted=all
So, a little more than a decade after Gensler worked successfullly to stop the Commodity Futurues Trading Commission from adopting rules to reign in and regulate the derivatives market, Obama invites Gensler to direct the clean-up of the mess he helped to create. Something tells me this Gensler pick may not work out all that well....

“It turns out,” [Bush] said, “this isn’t one of the presidencies where you ride off into the sunset, you know, kind of waving goodbye.”
No, you don't get to ride off into the sunset at the end of a presidency that you so stupendously fucked up. Even now it appears that Bush still doesn't quite get it.
Worst.
President.
Ever.
