HONG KONG — China’s central bank is in a bind.
It has been on a buying binge in the United States over the last seven years, snapping up roughly $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Those investments have been declining sharply in value when converted from dollars into the strong yuan, casting a spotlight on the central bank’s tiny capital base. The bank’s capital, just $3.2 billion --NYT
What magnitude quake was that?

Often city trees have crummy root systems, and the ones they have have been cut by street work, sewer repairs, and such.
Last big storm we had in my neighborhood I discovered the topsoil is about a foot deep, and a BIG tree the neighbor had toppled over, and that's just how deep the roots were.

This would be the same debt that has turned to sh*t so badly the US government just took over the issuers of said debt because they were undercapitalized?

Sago was a headman of the great Chief Kahkewistahaw. When the Northwest Mounted Police, later the Royal Mounted Police of Canada, came to the Cypress Hills with guns, horses and cannons and gattling guns they borrowed from the Americans, the bands who had stayed there were shepherded out forcefully. Those steep, verdant places were sacred to all of the bands. Sago refused to go. Sago and his people remained when all of the bands were marched away at gunpoint to reserves no more than a day’s march from the railways of the Canadian dominion. It was government policy.
Sago and his people clung to those hills, hunted and starving. But they persisted, sustained by their faith. One day a very old woman came to Sago, she said, “I cannot go on Chief.” His people now regarded Sago as a Chief. The very old woman had lost her sight and wished to go to her daughter who lived on the North Saskatchewan River. She asked for her leave from the Chief and he gave it. But they were very poor and desperate. They only one they could afford to accompany the very old blind woman was a very small boy.
So they set out, the very old blind woman and the very small boy. They crossed three-hundred miles, but to the very old blind woman it was not wilderness. She knew it like the back of her hand. The very small boy hunted prairie dogs and small game. They knew where to stop and drink from the hidden springs. They ate and in the long nights discussed the future and the stars. The very old blind woman and the very small boy made it all that way.

ST. PAUL — Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday.

Many have argued that China’s investment in the US gives China a stake in the United States success, and thus should help to ease other sources of friction. I have always thought it was more likely to itself be a source of friction — in no small part because investments that generate losses tend to be viewed rather differently than investments that produce gains. Creditors through the ages usually think that the debtor’s own behavior is at least partially responsible for the loss.
I don’t think the US can be blamed for the currency losses China is going to incur. The US has consistently indicated that it would not direct its monetary policy toward maintaining the dollar’s external value. But I do think that the US could be blamed if China’s enormous holdings of Agencies ever were not to be repaid in full. Maybe it shouldn’t be blamed, as the US government never guaranteed payment in full. But I also am a realist.

your favorite carrot cake made with hazelnuts & dried cranberries. When it is done (baked in a 13x9 sheet pan) pour this glaze over it...
1 cube unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1T corn syrup
2 t. vanilla
bring to boil then cook together over low heat for five minutes. When you remove the cake from the oven poke it all over with a fork then pour the glaze over it. Allow the glaze to soak in. Then when it has cooled top with cream cheese frosting.
2 blox softened cream cheese
1 cube softened butter
3 cups sifted confectioner's sugar and
juice and grated rind of 2 lemons
mix the cc & butter in your cuisinart then add the p.s. blend until fluid then add lemon juice.
If you don't have a good carrot cake recipit let me know and I'll post mine.

Reduce commentary to Sarah. Palin is George Bush in a skirt.
I can't stress how strongly I disagree with this. This woman is magnitudes worse than the current fuckface in office.
smalfish | 09.06.08 - 7:13 pm | #
True. But the way to sell her to people who don't follow politics is to call her George Bush in a skirt. I guarantee you that at least 1/3 of the people in this country don't even know who Karl Rove is, so comparing her to anyone less famous (and therefore less hated) than Bush is useless.

That's exactly right.
Just dismiss her as a no-nothing, incurious, arrogant unqualified george bush clone.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 350
Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Gradually beat in 1 cup flour. Pat into bottom of 8x8x2-inch pan. Bake 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly. In bowl beat eggs slightly. Stir in sugar, flour, baking powder and salt until well blended, add nuts. Pour over crust. Bake 30-35 minutes until brown and set in center. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Excellent with coffee.

Will he? After all, he's married to a millionairess, gets full disability, gets Social Security, . . . .
Y'know, how stupid does not just McQuaint but his handlers and the entire RNC have to be to never have had it occur to them, that the amount of this disability payment--I've heard it quoted as $56,000 but don't know if that's precisely accurate--could be donated to, oh let's say Paralyzed Veterans of America? He wouldn't even have to claim it as a charitable deduction if he wanted to be unquestionably noble about it.
He would miss it like you and I miss the change under our car seats.
He doesn't dare do it now of course, as it would be pandering so blatant as to revolt even the worst of them. But the man's been running for president since 2000 if not before, and it never even occurred to him to do this. If he would have started it back then, he could now arrange for it to be quietly leaked. This would take about half the air out of the Gigolo John balloon.

while I'm as given to impugning Hillary's pecuniary motives as anyone else, we should probably note two things:
1) there is no focking way the mccain campaign would let Hillary within a mile of Palin
2) the insinuation that Hillary ought to be taking on Palin is really sort of insulting to Hillary.
Palin's primary role is not as Official Vagina of the McCain campaign. Her primary role is as Jim Dobson's appointed succubus.
To that end we should probably be enlisting Bill Maher or Penn Jillette to go after her.

If so, good luck with that.
/Adrian Peterson fan
Zap Rowsdower
Oh, I think Peterson is great. He's the main reason I'm so bummed I have to miss the game when the Vikes come to Tampa on Nov. 16. But Bennett has been the Bucs' most effective RB in the preseason and was good for them last year, too, in limited duty. He's got some power and seems to fit in well with Gruden's system.
But, no, he's no Adrian Peterson.

Yes, Bennett was a Viking, but he came to Tampa Bay by way of Kansas City.

For example, the Mercedes is like a Yugo or the Waloo is like a Yugo. You know one is wrong.

The abrupt resignation Thursday of a top elections official at the secretary of state's office happened in the midst of a watchdog group's investigation into her relationship with a local businessman who has contracts with that office.
Colorado Ethics Watch had been pursuing documents from the state regarding Lowder's ties to John Paulsen.
Paulsen, 59, operates a software company called LEDS, LLC from his home in Castle Rock, records show. LEDS has installed voter databases in more than 30 counties and recently got two contracts worth almost $184,000 with the secretary of state's office for data work related to the current election season.
Records show that Lowder recently lived at a Cherokee Street home in Denver that is owned by Paulsen.

According to a article just out from Huffington Post, the story about flags from the Democratic National Convention being thrown away is simply false. The story was jumped on and apparently authored by the McCain campaign. But the real tell is down in the Huffpo piece where it traces the story to none other than Fox News' Carl Cameron.
Longtime readers of TPM will remember that back in October 2004 this site caught Cameron publishing a series of fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry on the front page of the Fox News website.
After I placed a series of calls to Fox News inquiring about the Kerry story, the story was eventually pulled, and Fox was forced to issue an apology and retract the fabricated story. Fox spokesman Paul Schur told TPM: "Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."
Why anybody would believe anything this joker says is difficult to fathom. But he's good enough for McCain.

Still hoping that Social Security is around when I retire.
Hee.... My family. My mother was an only child, but, her mother had five siblings, and from that pool, Mother had four girl first cousins and one boy first cousin. This gets to be fun. The youngest age at death was 64. The oldest, 68. I'm planning to collect my Social Security early.
Just heard Female talk radio host on RW radio say that she "It's nobody's business that Sarah Palin's daughter is preggers."
I wanted to call us and remind her what she said about John Edward's mistress.

If McCain loses, she's had national exposure, gotten all her shit out there and everyone's gotten "over it," and she's good to go in 2012. If McCain wins, she's in like Flynn and set to run in 2016. There is NO risk to her in this.

Compare and contrast (re Fannie and freddie):
At a rally in Colorado Springs, Col., Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said, "They've gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers. The McCain-Palin administration will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help."
Democratic nominee Barack Obama, speaking in Terre Haute, Ind., said, "These entities are so big and they're so tied into the housing market that it is probably true that we have to take steps to make sure they don't just collapse, because the housing market, which is already weakened, would be in even worse shape if we didn't take some steps."
I just heard that Sarah Palin's "First Dude" works part time and spends the rest of his time entering snow-mobiling competitions.

They found a political neophyte for the veep spot..the most radical choice they could make to draw in the voters. Just to make it close enough that they can steal it again.
Say they do win...McStupid resigns. He will have satisfied his ambition to be president but he has no interest in governance. Now the Thugs have Ms. inexperienced Moosekiller to be guided by the leading lights of Rovian Rethuglicanism. That's the scary scenario.

But in a subsequent email, Fisher said he strongly endorsed the Democratic ticket, and would donate a portion of royalties he receives from the Republicans' airing of "Barracuda" to the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.
"With my contribution to Obama's campaign, the Republicans are now supporting Obama," he said.

Did anyone see the frame-by-frame exposition the Daily Show did last night of McCain's 2008 nomination acceptance speech and Bush's 2000 nomination acceptance speech? It was flippin' brilliant and showed almost word-for-word congruence between what Mccain says he will do and what Bush said he would do. If the Obama campaign don't find a way to use the material to turn it into a kick-ass commercial than they are a lot less sharp than I think they are.

I like that about the Brits as well. A friend of mine actually was informed by the British consul that he should feel free to take whatever oaths he might be inclined - he could not 'lose' his British citizenship and they'd never hold it against him. That's forthright. The same applies for my duality - I am a US citizen by birth and a Canadian citizen by birth. Neither is asking me to forego the other. It's me. I don't like feeling split.

I heard Bonnie Erbe talking abt eugenics on her PBS show the other weekend. She and the other wymyn were concerned that it's the uneducated immigrant females who are making more of the babies and, thereby, driving down the value per unit. I was quite startled. I thought, "Aren't these chicks libs?"

Jesus Christ was a community organizer,
I am sorry. I keep reading this and I keep not getting it. He said to render unto Caesar what was Caesar's. He said that he came to destroy families. He said that unless you left your community and followed him, you would lose your life.
It's nice rhetoric, and I have a copy of Quotations from Chairman Jesus on my bookshelf, but I really don't get the Jesus was a community organizer thing.
In a way, that's quite hilarious, since Steinbeck built the book around the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel.
I suspect that the real objection, however, is centered around the book's exposition of war profiteering at the simplest levels.

I was among English teachers one day
and the subject of when to teach the Scarlet Letter came up.
Conversation went on for a while, then
a university professor from a well known TX institution said, " High school is too young. The problem with high school students is they know everything about fornication and nothing about adultery". Conversation came to a pindrop standstill.
Personally, I think that Gov. Moosilini knows a great deal about both fornication and adultery.

It's parables, not meant to be taken literally. Render unto Caesar has been interpreted a gazillion different ways, from supporting the separation of church and state to warning the faithful against cooperating with corrupt governments. Ditto every other quote you mentioned.
I don't really get that Jesus was a community organizer, though. He was bringing the news of God's love to humanity. He really didn't organize, he did his thing and people took it in or didn't. If anyone organized, it was Paul.

Probably the same low-info types that all wanted the same hairstyle as Jennifer Anniston - or Farah Fawcett, back in the day.
They are the knee-jerk, shiny-object types that only do what they're told. You know, Republicans.

What's funny is that we went in there (my husband had to pick up his frames) and I casually mentioned that because my frames are so similar to hers, I really wanted NEW frames since I think she's so repulsive. That's when they told me the phone has been ringing off the hook from people wanting them.
Well it's Tennessee. What do you expect.

Not that she's a paragon of accuracy or anything but Malkin claims the list is a near-identical copy of the list of "Books Banned At One Time Or Another In the U.S."
The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.
The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.
And this from the Wall Street Journal, no less.
Fiscal conservatives, my ass.

WASHINGTON — A month after the F.B.I. declared that an Army scientist was the anthrax killer, leading members of Congress are demanding more information about the seven-year investigation, saying they do not think the bureau has proved its case.
In a letter sent Friday to Robert S. Mueller III, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Democratic leaders of the House Judiciary Committee said that “important and lingering questions remain that are crucial for you to address, especially since there will never be a trial to examine the facts of the case.”
The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, committed suicide in July, and Mr. Mueller is likely to face demands for additional answers about the anthrax case when he appears before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on Sept. 16 and 17.
“My conclusion at this point is that it’s very much an open matter,” Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Senate committee, said of the strength of the case against Dr. Ivins, a microbiologist at the Army’s biodefense laboratory who worked on anthrax vaccines. “There are so
