OT: Northern Rock has sold off some of its most valuable mortgage assets to repay just over £2bn of its £26bn Bank of England loan.
The Newcastle-based bank announced this morning that it has sold its portfolio of lifetime home equity release mortgages to JP Morgan for a small premium on their £2.2bn book value.
The move is a coup for ministers who have come under sustained attack for their handling of the Northern Rock affair. It also comes ahead of a shareholders meeting next week at which a group of investors led by two activist hedge funds are expected to attack the government and the board for their failure to protect shareholders' interests.
Analysts said they were concerned the sale meant the stricken bank had lost control of some its best assets. Equity release mortgages are typically sold to older people who want to benefit from rising house prices without having to sell up, and are therefore of higher quality than other Northern Rock mortgages - such as those guaranteed on 125% of the value of a property.

I find it somewhat amusing that so many people are demanding the taxpayers of New Hampshire indulge their paranoia by paying for a recount. What I'm not seeing, however, is an effort to raise the money to pay for such a recount. It seems that no one wants to put their money where their mouth is. It's much easier to spread rumors and baseless allegations than it is to actually do something concrete about it.
"Candidates who lose by 3 percentage or less are entitled to a recount for a $2,000 fee. Candidates who lose by more must pay for the full cost. Kucinich's campaign said it was sending the $2,000 fee to start the recount."
Apparently, Dennis doesn't know simple subtraction, since he lost by significantly more than three percentage points. But I do hope he antes up the rest of the recount fee. And I'd love to see the fraudsters raising the money to help Kucinich pay for this thing. I'm always much more impressed by action than talk. Furthermore, if the recount shows troubles with the vote counts, the state should reimburse Kucinich for the costs of the recount.

"What’s Wrong With “Now?”
By: Jane Hamsher Friday January 11, 2008 1:32 pm
If Hillary Clinton does want to stand up to George Bush, why doesn't she go back to Washington DC and do it now? The opportunities are multitudinal. And if Barack Obama wants to get Republicans to reach across the aisle and join with Democrats to carve out important legislation, why doesn't he shut down the nay-sayers by doing it? John Edwards doesn't hold elected office at the moment so he doesn't have the same number of opportunities, but he could certainly lead and anti-war demonstration. A march on the White House would be nice.
The point is -- campaign promises are a dime a dozen. If these people all want to be "agents of change," they've got the spotlight and the power at the moment to do so."

"...the big change from previous downloading cases is the RIAA's newfound aggressiveness in calling MP3s ripped from legally owned CDs "unauthorized copies" -- something it's been doing quietly for a while, but now it looks like the gloves are off. While there's a pretty good argument for the legality of ripping under the market factor of fair use, it's never actually been ruled as such by a judge -- so paradoxically, the RIAA might be shooting itself in the foot here, because a judge wouldn't ever rule on it unless they argue that it's illegal.

racymind, I mostly agree with this:
Marion Jones should be granted amnesty on the grounds that the entire system sets athletes up for failure. As fans and followers of sport, it's time to drop the Pollyanna act and the hero worship. It's time to stop demanding the super human and start letting the guardians of sport know that anyone who benefits from an athlete's rise to the top should also accompany their fall from grace.
The system sets people up to be winners. So the athletes do what they think they have to do to win.
so paradoxically, the RIAA might be shooting itself in the foot here, because a judge wouldn't ever rule on it unless they argue that it's illegal. Looks like someone may end up being too clever for their own good, eh?"

"Army throws out conviction of Abu Ghraib commander.“The US army has thrown out the conviction of the only officer court martialed in the Abu Ghraib scandal,” Lt. Col.

"Navy Times: Prankster May Have Been Behind Radio Threats
By Paul Kiel - January 11, 2008, 6:11PM
It just gets more and more bizarre. From The Navy Times:
The threatening radio transmission heard at the end of a video showing harassing maneuvers by Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz may have come from a locally famous heckler known among ship drivers as the “Filipino Monkey.”...
In recent years, American ships operating in the Middle East have had to contend with a mysterious but profane voice known by the ethnically insulting handle of “Filipino Monkey,” likely more than one person, who listens in on ship-to-ship radio traffic and then jumps on the net shouting insults and jabbering vile epithets...."

Of course, we meddled by telling Saddam he could do it in the first place.
We most certainly did not and not one single person with knowledge of the meeting has said so. Although Wilson seems to try to turn it back onto Bush saying his letter to Hussein weakened what the Ambassador had said. But Tariq Aziz said in 96 that Hussein had no misunderstanding of Glaspie. He just misjudged the strength of the US response. He apparently thought a couple of MEUs and an airborne division would attempt to liberate Kuwait and that once he defeated the small force, Hussein would be able to negotiate from a stronger position.

"AUSTIN - A federal judge agreed Friday that the state Democratic Party can refuse to allow presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich onto the Texas ballot because he wouldn't sign a party pledge.
Kucinich and his singer-supporter Willie Nelson sued the party to try to get Kucinich on the March 4 primary election ballot even though Kucinich refused to sign part of the oath on his ballot application that would commit him to "fully support" the eventual Democratic nominee.
(snip)
A paramount issue for Kucinich in the dispute is his opposition to the war in Iraq and his belief in "not using the war as an instrument of foreign policy," McTigue said. The congressman does not want to be bound to supporting a Democratic candidate who disagrees with him on that and other issues, he said."

Then 2000 rolled around, and downsizing began (we do NOT use the word 'synergy' in our house for anything related to business). Monsieur went to a large, 2 person cube with a meeting table and high walls. Then a smaller 2 person cube without the table. Then a 2 person cube modified to contain 4 people with a meeting table.

Re: Jonathan Freedland's report of the "Clinton adviser" saying something which is really, really dumb--Josh Marshall says look carefully of the reporter.
I'm not that familiary with Freedland.
He does say in the artcle that Hillary can't win, which may influence how he reports.
But, it's stupid--IF it was an actual Clinton advisor.
But it does seem quite amazing that Tweety is flogging racial division, blaming lying Democratic voters for the pollsters' incorrect predictions--and flogging it big time. He really seems to want an internal Dem rift. Cutting black voters away from the Dems has been a long time dream of the ReThugs--they just don't have it in them to do things which would win black voters to ReThug candidates. However, Rove is very good at creating wedge issues.

An Interview with Tariq Aziz:
PBS: Could you elaborate on the point about mixed signals sent by the U.S. during the run-up to the invasion of Kuwait? How did those influence your government's decision?
Tariq Aziz: There were no mixed signals. We should not forget that the whole period before August 2 witnessed a negative American policy towards Iraq. So it would be quite foolish to think that, if we go to Kuwait, then America would like that. Because the American tendency . . . was to untie Iraq. So how could we imagine that such a step was going to be appreciated by the Americans? It looks foolish, you see, this is fiction.

At a Washington press conference called the next day (July 26, 1990), US State Department spokesperson Margaret Tutweiler was asked by journalists:

To which Tutweiler responded

nona
At the time a Kuwaiti student at the University identified the incubator girl, said she was "never pregnant" because to be pregnant and unmarried at 15 was deemed improper in the culture.
She was a schoolmate of the 'victim' in secondary education.
Dean of Communications would not let us report it at NPR affiliate. Said the school would lose funding. It had the funding blocked anyways later that year.
Then foreign capital, persons from Kuwait and other gulf states started pumping in money. The school had a mosque on the edge of campus, a third of the students in business school were from OPEC states.
But it does seem quite amazing that Tweety is flogging racial division, blaming lying Democratic voters for the pollsters' incorrect predictions--and flogging it big time. He really seems to want an internal Dem rift.
i think tweety initially pimped that idea to tamp down the building heat that was being directed at him and his behavior. and he's been quite successful. other journos are also picking it up. gene robinson's column today is all about the bradley effect. it's easier to blame those loser old white women closet racists than to consider their own rancid commentary and how it backfired. bigtime.

Snow, Dept of Commerce gets 26 days per year after 15 or 18 years or something like that.
In America, one employer allows some of its employees a maximum of 30 paid vacation days per year.
Furthermore, you're allowed to store up to 60 days of vacation time, for emergencies and such.
Don't let it go beyond 60 days or you lose 'em, though.
"However, loose lips sink ships. And the person has anonymity.
jawbone"
What person? Could that be the same person that said Kurgman's son works for Hillary? Could the be the same person that said penn was under the bus? Could that be the same person that said camp Hillary is out of money? All things marshall 'reported.' All bullshit.
The least "advanced" would be the one that shit, pisses, fucks and EATS out of the same hole.
Republicans?
Barack Obama. Wynton Marsalis. Clean, articulate, nice suits, aint misbehaving Reagon babies.
8 hours of vacation a pay period, after employed by the Feds for oh, four years, I think....
.
sheetz
Dept of Commerce employees only get to store up 30 days of vacation time. 240 hrs is the maximum carryover.
" once read where you can tell which creature is the most advanced based on how many egresses it has; one that shares a single egress for solid and liquid waste elimination, as well as reproduction, is the least advanced."
Jeeze - there goes my Theory of Republican Stupidity.
You couldn't fit another asshole in that mob, with a double-barrelled asshole-gun and a sack of crowbars.

the girl who testified about the incubators was the daughter of a kuwaiti emir who claimed to have volunteered at the hospital.
nona
The story grew legs, it changed every day.
By the time GHWB was saying it in speech appearances it became her poor child that was the victim...
the girl was a diplomatic bloodline, half American if I'm not mistaken.
The 'babies thrown from incubators' myth:
"..the most emotionally moving testimony on October 10 came from a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name of Nayirah. According to the Caucus, Nayirah's full name was being kept confidential to prevent Iraqi reprisals against her family in occupied Kuwait. Sobbing, she described what she had seen with her own eyes in a hospital in Kuwait City. Her written testimony was passed out in a media kit prepared by Citizens for a Free Kuwait. "I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital," Nayirah said. "While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where . . . babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die."83
Three months passed between Nayirah's testimony and the start of the war. During those months, the story of babies torn from their incubators was repeated over and over again. President Bush told the story. It was recited as fact in Congressional testimony, on TV and radio talk shows, and at the UN Security Council. "Of all the accusations made against the dictator," MacArthur observed, "none had more impact on American public opinion than the one about Iraqi soldiers removing 312 babies from their incubators and leaving them to die on the cold hospital floors of Kuwait City."84
At the Human Rights Caucus, however, Hill & Knowlton and Congressman Lantos had failed to reveal that Nayirah was a member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family. Her father, in fact, was Saud Nasir al-Sabah, Kuwait's Ambassador to the US, who sat listening in the hearing room during her testimony. The Caucus also failed to reveal that H&K vice-president Lauri Fitz-Pegado had coached Nayirah in what even the Kuwaitis' own investigators later confirmed was false testimony.
If Nayirah's outrageous lie had been exposed at the time it was told, it might have at least caused some in Congress and the news media to soberly reevaluate the extent to which they were being skillfully manipulated to support military action. Public opinion was deeply divided on Bush's Gulf policy. As late as December 1990, a New York Times/CBS News poll indicated that 48 percent of the American people wanted Bush to wait before taking any action if Iraq failed to withdraw from Kuwait by Bush's January 15 deadline.85 On January 12, the US Senate voted by a narrow, five-vote margin to support the Bush administration in a declaration of war."

Congressman Lantos is retiring, and named by others who have identified him in the Edmonds pictures.
I thought there was a ban on flirting here.
No ban, per se, only occaissional moratoria. Like every 15 minutes...
George Bush is a fucking idiot and a douchebag Jesus freak. Oh what a joke this nation is.

bush is an idiot.
(it might be the bds tawking,but. I'm just saying).

Krugman's son works for Hillary?
Why would this ever be an issue?
"Glaspie's ill-chosen comments
You're a fucking asshole.
This is all about the sex of the person delivering the message.
Fuck off.
While George W. Bush may be a recovering drinker, he apparently has now developed a gambling problem. Just 10 days into 2008, the Bush White House has placed big bets on everything from a Middle East peace treaty to the prospects for a U.S. recession, even his own popularity and legacy. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against him - and us.
