I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. "It would be fantastic," said a McCain insider. "You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching.
Not.
Segundo.
woo! tina fey!
Three for the tree.
Tina Fey is killing. The faux-Couric, not so much.
No blogging 'til tomorrow afternoon?? but, but, what are we supposed to do until then?

"It would be fantastic," said a McCain insider. "You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching."
Only the slimiest, most cynical politician on Earth would invite (or even allow) her daughter's wedding to become a media circus.

Feral: my 16 you daughter's take on Palin is precisely that, that she's like a character in a bad movieor TV show...
i had dinner tonight with some friends who are R's. i wasn't going to discuss politics but they asked if i watched the debate. i made a non=committal comment about how it seemed pretty tame. THEN the wife, god bless her, said how INSULTED she was that mcshame picked someone like palin for the vp - that he could have picked a smart and informed female R like kay baily hutchison.
wife said she wasn't sure WHAT she was going to do, and we talked about palin for a bit. AND i brought up mccain's calling his wife a trollop and a "c" and Republican wife told me she believed the story! most R's are convincing themselves it never happened.
i turned to her husband (who has been my friend for 20 years) and told him "i'm going to be rather unhappy with you if you vote for mcshame."
wife said "don't worry, i'll cancel him out if he does."
this was a pleasantly shocking evening!
"On 17 December 1969, Tiny Tim married Victoria Mae Budinger ("Miss Vicki") on The Tonight Show"
that didn't work so well...

McCain calls govt. officials handling bailout deal
By BETH FOUHY
RLINGTON, Va. (AP) - Republican John McCain placed phone calls to President Bush and Republican congressional leaders Saturday to help steer a bailout of failed financial institutions. His campaign and that of rival Barack Obama also sought to steer perception of the first presidential debate.
The two candidates sparred over foreign policy and the economy - including the $700 billion proposal to stabilize U.S. markets being considered by Congress - in a 90-minute televised forum Friday at the University of Mississippi.
Neither candidate decisively won the debate nor committed any game-changing gaffe. But that didn't prevent each campaign from proclaiming victory and spending much of Saturday trying to shape the perception of the forum in the days going forward.

Peter Hart on CNN just said Sarah Palin initially was a boost to the McCain ticket, now is a potentially "lethal" element.
The VP debate is on October 2.
I wonder if the stock in McCain's candidacy after that will look like Washington Mutual's did last week.
McCain harshly criticized Obama's debate performance Saturday in a speech to the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance.
"It wasn't such a good night for my opponent," McCain said, saying among other things that Obama was trying to use the looming market meltdown for political gain.
"It was clear that Senator Obama still sees the financial crisis in America as a national problem to be exploited first and solved later," McCain said.
too bad it is going to take months to get the LHC going again or we might find out. Maybe McCain's campaign will prove to be a good analog for the early universe and they won't have to restart it
Oh, hell, now you've got me trying to figure out which subatomic particle is the most McMavericky....
the SNL debate sketch was the most pointless and desperately unfunny thing I have seen on SNL - and I have been watching the show since the first season(well rather less in recent years)
it also is clearly designed to do the most damage to Obama -- but not even in an amusing way
they didn't do anything with the grumpy can't look in his eye McCAin -- just some lame stuff on his penchant for stunts -- for Obama it was all he is deeply corrupt and involved in graft
I guess Lorene really is for McCain as his political donations suggest

really kinda depends on the idea. also, courts are typically hostile to pro se plaintiffs because the filings are usually confusing and don't always comport to the rules of procedure. but it depends on the complexity of the theory.

The Palins are real live Clampetts.

The Clampetts were lovable.
smalfish: child abuse? not hardly. People who are easily shamed don't get far in politics-- hell, in life, it seems-- these days.
I'm convinced that Palin's going to hold her own in the debate against Biden.
Look at how Bush benefited from lowered expectations in 2000.

Wall Street's Infinite Sleaze: Goldman and AIG
By Dean Baker - September 27, 2008, 10:21PM
According to the NYT, Lloyd C. Blankfein, Goldman Sachs CEO, was in the room with Henry Paulson (former CEO of Goldman) when the decision to save AIG was made. Why does this matter? According to the NYT, AIG owed Goldman $20 billion. If AIG had been allowed to go bankrupt, Goldman would be in line with all the other creditors, hoping for a few dimes back on each dollar of debt. Because Henry Paulson decided to rescue AIG, Goldman gets paid in full.

I loathe Lou Dobbs. Just stopped paused while surfing because of the topic. But it was disheartening . . .

Good night, President Obama!

Look, homey told a joke once:
The first black player tries out for an all white team. The brother has to make it from one endzone to the other to make the team. Fucking cracker coach comes out and blows a whistle. The fucking entire fucking white team is lined up from one endzone to the other.
The brother is doing damn good.
Dodging tacklers left and right. In the middle of this shit, the coach of the white team says, "Look at that nigger go!"
Boyhoo, that's you ain't it.
Bro' was tackled a few yards from the far endzone.
Not this time motherfucker.
The amazing part of the Fey satire was the part that sounded like the actual interview. It's terrifying to know how bad it really was.

I'm going to go on the roof and push the gorilla off. Then my pit bull is gonna bite the gorilla in the nuts and then I'll be able to get the gorilla into the truck. I just need you to hold the gun."
Guy asks him, "What's the gun for??

so am I reading this right? the bailout has a provision to protect the deferred compensation to the CEOs etc who engineered this mess -- their millions in future pay for their tremendous skill in taking the economy down?
why are we protecting million plus retirement money of CEOs etc and not people getting foreclosed and in bankruptcy.

She's going to do that all on her own.
The smartest thing Biden can do is stand there and play straight man to her stupidity.
Won't be easy. Me, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing.
Uh, I know you're a cocksucking, rightwing, anti-immigration, xenophobic right-wing reactionary with a "D" next to your name.

I made more sense than Elias in the Couric interview. Other than that, useless. But I couldn't resist, any more than Elias can resist sucking cocks.
well, battery is about to die. g'night, y'all!
paulson's 'no recourse, no accountability, no oversight, no legal ramifications, but give me the fucking $700 large anyway' was the exact same as a hold up note that any crook would show a bank teller.

Anon, queasy
Yes, I've thought about that strategy quite a bit.
Which means the McCain people will have thought of it.
So how will Sarah be coached to handle Biden ignoring her for 90 minutes and beating on McCain instead?
"Flattop Bob", the right-wing, reactionary fascist cocksucker with a "D" next to his name, running for US Senator in S. Carolina, has a home and a lot of friends and supporters here in the bastion of liberal purity, Eschaton!

Vanity, man.
For nearly three hours in the afternoon, Conrad and other lawmakers met with Paulson around a massive table in Pelosi's conference room under an ornate portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Among lawmakers, Democrats outnumbered Republicans nine to two, an imbalance that so irritated Paulson that he called and complained to Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), according to three GOP sources familiar with the call.
WTF? Did the republicans bail on the process?
Then it should be simple to fucking prove. So fucking prove it. If you

She's dangerous. Don't underestimate her.
She looks like a vengeful, cunning, spiteful bitch.
Handle with care. Biden should go easy on her and let her dig her own hole.
No upside to attacking her. None at all. If he picks on her they will yell that he is a big meanie, so best just to be civil and stay on message.
Palin and McCain mean more of the same. Period. End of Story.
That's the message to drive home. Don't get cute, don't try and score big political points and DON'T worry about the base. The base is solid. Worry about the fools who for some reason haven't made up their minds yet.
The only question I have is how Biden handles her, but then I think he'll just let her loose and hang herself with her own nasal-strangled words.

It kills me to say this, but Katie Couric did a pretty good job of that.
This could all be an elaborate head fake.
But, honestly, how likely is that? Look at her background.
Seriously, if Katie Couric thinks she's a mental midget, where does that put her on the evolutionary scale, so to speak?
She's got some political cleverness--I'll give her that. But, you don't go 0 for 2 in your first national one-on-one interviews and not have negative repercussions from that.
Why do you think they've been hiding her? Because she's just not getting it. There were some rumors out of the campaign yesterday that the McCain people have been doing mock interviews and mock debates with her and they were, quote, "disasters."
I say make fun of every idiotic mistake and tie her very firmly to McCain--because she's going to be the stone that sinks him.
Won't be easy. Me, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing.

Joe's going to have a hard job. He can't look like he's taking it easy on her because that would be patronizing...but then he can't go too hard on her because he'd look like he was beating up on the newbie...and he can't laugh his as off because that would be just rude. Poor Joe.
Paulson's 'no recourse, no accountability, no oversight, no legal ramifications, but give me the fucking $700 large anyway' plan is not what's being passed.

To paraphrase Deep Throat, "These people aren't that smart."
Palin already has negatives weighing her down from her own image, speeches, and appearances. There's already folks on the right wondering out loud if she's should be let go.
Maybe this is a headfake, but really? It all comes down to Palin. You can be the best tutor on Earth, but if your student is a sea cucumber, then you can only do so much.
Like Obama, I wager Biden will be showing off how competent he is. When you match Palin against that, it's going to be no question.
I can see why you are worried, but I wouldn't stress about it. Honestly.
"No upside to attacking her. None at all. If he picks on her they will yell that he is a big meanie, so best just to be civil and stay on message."
if he doesn't rebut her bullshit they'll say he's a condescending pig.

He is a Democratic candidate who supported Ron Paul. He is running to the right of Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham on immigration. He has railed against his own party for having the temerity to criticize Sarah Palin...
...We should have had a real Democrat here. Even if it wasn't a top-tier candidate like State Education Superintendent Jim Rex, or 2006 Lieutenant Governor nominee Robert Barber, we should have had a real Democrat. It's clear Lindsey Graham isn't invincible, and this is precisely the year to take on a long-shot race like this.

We're not going to win this if we ridicule Palin. People know she's a joke. Great.
We will win this if we can convince the fools who cannot make up their minds for some unknown reason yet.
That's the target. We're not the target audience. Nobody who wants to see Palin crash and burn is going to vote for them.
Don't be a slave to it. It will be SO much better to watch them concede on Nov 5, than to see her ridiculed on TV.
Stay on target.
Elias is just here to read his own words on something besides toilet paper. He screams for attention, making me look like a shrinking violet.
I like that he makes me look smart and sane, though. and that he is a better cocksucker than I am, even.
That WaPo piece had nothing of value to me. Other than maybe this:
"Many of these assets still have significant underlying value, because the vast majority of people will eventually pay off their mortgages," Bush said yesterday in his weekly radio address. "In other words, many of the assets the government would buy are likely to go up in price over time. This means that the government will be able to recoup much, if not all, of the original expenditure."
How can we all pay off our mortgages if gas prices continue to skyrocket, jobs are not paying anything more than they were five years ago, and healthcare costs put us into bankruptcy?
Sounds like lipstick on a pig to me.

"Flattop" Bob Conley.
The Democrat candidate for US Senator of S.Carolina, makes online death threats.
Palin is the governor of a state that has a population smaller than the largest 65 cities in the USA. She is Governor of a state that doesn't have to worry about its budget because it is funded by taxes on oil production and has a substantial surplus. She got to that position thanks the fundamental corruption of the ruling party in that state.
She may well be a clever politician on that small, easy stage, but now she is in the big leagues and is obviously not prepared.

OMG! -- "home schooled" by Sarah Palin....
That's not just terrifying a thought, it's an oxymoron by a magnitude of 100! Yikes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Elias doesn't it get old being Rush Limpballs personal human anal cyst?
Other news has kept me busy of late, in particular the latest balance sheet of the Federal Reserve.
A vast increase in its 'assets' (i.e. loans to Tom, Dick and Harry), despite which largesse, interbank lending has come to a screeching halt.
John Maynard Keynes noted this sort of phenomenon--a liquidity trap.
And no wonder. Why should banks pay 400 basis points more in interest on loans from other banks than they do on loans from a central bank?
With Fortis going down too, I think we can safely predict a serious recession in 2009 no matter how much the Fed eases short-term liquidity concerns (in fact such monetary easing will make the recession worse), because every other bond yield is heading up, way up, which will mean the banks will simply borrow from the Fed and use the money to buy gilt-edged high yield bonds. But commercial paper and lending is going to dry up like a creek in summertime in Death Valley.
Hence, a President Obama will be forced to do the right thing---prime the pumps with massive public investment.
A new New Deal. He'll be forced, like FDR, to be more socialist than his natural inclinations would lead him. Yay!

Where's Karl Rove when Republicans need him?
Posted by The Editors
From NSN Press Assistant Hanna Lundqvist:
The latest Pew research poll has some interesting figures on Barack Obama. 30% of registered American voters agree that the chance of another terrorist attack would increase if Barack Obama were elected, while 61% disagree. Although 30% is a disappointingly large number, the comparison to John Kerry is promising: in the corresponding September 2004 poll, 36% agreed that John Kerry were elected the chance of another terrorist attack would increase, with 56% disagreeing.
So while Republicans have spent far more time pushing the threat of Barack Obama’s inexperience than they ever did for John Kerry, voters perceive that Barack Obama would be better than John Kerry at keeping America safe.
Looks like having a Karl Rove protégé run your campaign isn’t quite as good as the real thing.

Actually, my favorite part of the $700 billion bailout is that the U.S. doesn't actually have the money.
We have to borrow the money...to restore "confidence" in the hearts of foreign bankers who won't lend us money now, because we're less than creditworthy -- interesting how that works. Stay tuned....

“I would characterize the Senate race as being a race where Obama was, let’s say, blessed and highly favored. That’s not routine. There’s something else going on. I think that Obama, his election to the Senate, was divinely ordered. . . . I know that that was God’s plan.”– Bill Rush

Wealthy repugs already know that progressives run the economy better. But they don't care about that. What they care about is increasing their share of the economy.
5% of 10 trillion is 500 billion. But 10% of 8 trillion is 800 billion. Which would you rather have?
Well, that depends on whether you're a repug or not. If you are, you take the 10%. If you're a wealthy socialist elitist like me, you go for the 5%.
Mind you, BushCo has really done an incredibly bad job on the economy, even for a sicko repug piece of shit.

I totally agree -- the "new global economy" has failed beyond all hope of redemption.
I never accepted the notion that a corporation can be too big to fail, but there are some structural financial fuck-ups that are too big to save -- and this is one of those, because it's global in scope.
Bernie Sanders has the best line: "If a corporation is too big to fail, then it's too big to exist."

Read the entirety of the following chapter, "Let It Burn." That's what I was talking about.

Uncle Blodge, discussing politics with my sister is 10x worse then listening to morons like Hannity or Limpballs or dealing with the trolls.
It just blows me away that as a christian she doesn't see the hate and hypocrisy of her beloved party.
Talking to her is like beating your head against a brick wall. Recently she told me that in one of his books Barack says he hates white people.
Of course she didn't actually read the book instead she read an excerpt from it probably twisted by some lying sack of crap repiglican like Limpballs. She actually told me she hopes McCain (She hates him) gets elected and dies in office so that Palin can be president. I just walked away shaking my head.
Darkly cynical, I can play at wingnuterry, too.
The current meltdown is all FDR's fault. His administration created the regulations that sustained our economy long past the post-WWII boom, leading to the largest middle class in history--and thus the expectation that future generations would (should) do as well or better.
People had the economic security to concentrate instead on expanding civil rights and thus giving eliminationists and bigots the necessary fodder for a rise to power.
If only those regulations hadn't been in place, we could've had a fascist takeover in the 1930's, which would've lasted for while, then collapsed under its own weight. We'd be free from fascism now, instead of funding it.
[Damn...it makes my head spin how easy it is to spew nonsense, with just the tiniest dash of truth for flavor...and to consider that someone might just agree with it...nightmare.]
Adele, on the other hand, has a spectacular voice and none of Duffy's razzle-dazzle hype.
I'm going to give them both a fair shake, and Adele is very much a product of the BRIT school (i.e. Winehouse) while Duffy actually ended up under the wing of Butler and McAlmont, which is a much more interesting influence.
What I like about them all is that they've tapped into the tradition that makes up my mother's record collection, and perhaps their grandparents'.

Wow...that was stunningly on target, especially the parody of the Palin's gibberish answer on the bailout.
At the insistence of House Republicans, some money would be devoted to a program that would encourage holders of distressed mortgage-backed securities to keep them and buy government insurance to cover defaults.
Crap, Harry and Nancy are busy unlocking the Treasury doors for the Bush junta. The idiots are being rolled again.
hard for people to tell the difference between what tina fey sez and what palin actually sez
tough nutz, GOP
.
At the insistence of House Republicans, who threatened to sidetrack negotiations at midweek, the insurance provision was added as an alternative to having the government buy distressed securities. House Republicans say it will require less taxpayer spending for the bailout.
But the Treasury Department has said the insurance provision would not pump enough money into the financial sector to make credit sufficiently available. The department would decide how to structure the insurance provisions, said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., one of the negotiators.

A family relation also said the same thing. Similarly, I've heard co-workers (quietly) suggesting that Obama would certainly be killed--to which I'd respond that every leader has faced that possibility, and thus it's not very useful for weighing a candidate.
I've never heard such ramped up talk of future dead presidents in all my days. "Lame duck" is one thing, but "dead duck?"

Larry King interviewing Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ava Mendes, and Debra Messing about their remake of the 1939 George Cukor classic, The Women.
A.O. Scott of the New York Times called The Women "a witless, straining mess" and added, "[Y]ou wait in vain for a moment of snappy repartee, of fresh emotion, of grace or charm or pathos ... If The Women had managed to give its various impulses some kind of coherent shape or tone, it might be worth arguing about. As it is, the movie wanders and wallows, stumbling toward screwball before veering in the direction of weepiness and grasping at satirical urbanity along the way ... [R]arely has class struggle, or catfighting, for that matter, been so tediously waged. And rarely have so many fine actresses been enlisted in such a futile cause."
I think John McCain should invest in some nice sunglasses for the next debate.Maybe a hip hat too.However,for a nice stunt McShame could go the other way and stare at Barack the entire time-old man creepy.

What this means is that it’s not possible to value a CDS (and therefore any kind of debt for the issuer) simply by looking at the risk of default for the insured firm, and then considering the risk of default for the issuer. You need to know the correlation between the two, and this requires not detailed knowledge of the entire asset position of both parties, including their correlations with other parties.
Presumably, at some point, bond markets will start to anticipate this risk. But, in the absence of detailed knowledge of all the counterparty risks involved, the only real option is not to buy corporate bonds of any kind. That’s pretty much what’s happened in recent months.

Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay.
In reading the history of nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities; their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.... Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

...just a reminder...the bit I posted earlier about FDR and the bailout was a parody, mainly of faulty cause and effect used to shift blame.
Maybe I'm a symptom, too, along with The Daily Show or Colbert or The Onion...or consider that Tina Fey impersonation of Palin.
The difference between serious, dangerously serious, nonsense and satirical nonsense is context, but the context is a post-rational culture where feelings trump reason, where rumor is better than a book, and where word has been replaced by a thousand pictures.
Anything could be true--marry that with identity politics, and you get a nation willing to believe anything and nothing at the same time, as long as the facade of tribal/brand/clique membership can be maintained against the vague threat of "them."
We've had: A president who sometimes forgot he only acted in WWII movies, and didn't fight; a president who should have even been ineligible because of his participation in crimes as CIA director and Vice President; a president who argued in a legal deposition about the meaning of the word "is;" and then a president whose lies about WMD brought cynicism, not impeachment.
No wonder reality has become a nightly game show.
Someone is laughing all the way to the bank, and we are left holding the laughing bag.

MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews was on hand during the presidential debate last night, and had a lively discussion with New York Magazine's John Heilemann.
Matthews suggested that who we want to listen to for the next four to eight years is a part of how we look at who we want to elect to office.
Matthews: "Who do you want to listen to for 4-8 years? It really is part of how we look at these things. Let's start with John McCain. Do you think he was to troll-like, tonight? You know, too much of a troll? Seriously, do people want to put up with four years of that, of sitting there angrily, grumpily...like a codger?
In a Thursday interview with Katie Couric, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin cited "trade missions" with Russia as her one tangible piece of foreign policy experience.
What trade missions?
Research doesn't show a single Alaska-Russia trade mission since former Democratic governor Tony Knowles visited Siberia in 1997, when Palin was running Wasilla, according to Salon.com.

Normally when Barack takes off his coat it's on account of the heat, but this evening in Fredricksburg it was because of the heavy rain that fell on the enormous crowd that gathered to watch Barack and Joe Biden at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Over 25,000 folks (according to Police Chief Jay Snipes) felt the mud churn under their feet as they listen to Joe and Barack explain their plans for changing this country.
"Try and take your partisan hats off and pretend you are in a political science class at this great university," Joe advised them before Barack spoke.
It was a heavy day of campaigning, from the J. Douglas Gaylon Depot, a beautiful old train station in Greensboro, North Carolina to the Congressional Black Caucus Awards dinner in the heart of Washington, DC. On the heels of his superb campaign performance in last night's debate, Barack has been eager to bring his message to supporters and undecideds wherever they may be. And from the looks of the sopping wet crowds that formed today, people are eager to hear it in all kinds of weather.

"OH, HELL!" I screamed, as backsplash hit me dead bulls-eye. I was up so fast that I broke the toilet paper holder from the wall. I thrashed about in the cramped quarters in a panic. "This is bad, bad, bad," I kept saying.
Now, I do not mind taking a dump in public toilets, but I can't stand backsplash. This was not normal backsplash, either, but the splash from hundreds of strangers' assholes and pissers that just hit me in the worst possible place. I can't think of anything much worse getting on me.
I cleaned myself for what seemed like hours, and when I finally banged out of the shitter and made it back to camp, I broke out my soap and towel and cleaned some more. My buddy asked what the hell was wrong with me. When I told him about the incident, he laughed his ass off and fell out of the chair he was sitting on.
Aw shucks...no poop for David Derbes? Only Uncle Smokes and LI Liberal?
I must admit it is a fun word, spelled the same forwards and backwards--exceeded in infantile hilarity, though, by "poopy," which always gets a laugh from the 2-3 year-old set.
The laughter probably comes from embarrassment, since they are only one newly learned skill away from babies.
I wonder if one of the lessons to take from the Adam and Eve myth is that, upon receiving the knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam and Eve did not murder or rob or destroy--they were embarrassed.
Now that I have synthesized creation mythos with potty training, one can see that I rather enjoyed essay questions in college.
By the way, I think the funniest word is "cumquat." Can we have a cumquat troll?
This guy is truly pathetic. Has to use the same lameass comments over and over, day after day. You'd think that while he was sitting there rooting in his nose for world class boogers, he could come up with something original once in a while. Truly the bottom of the troll cesspool.
IT'S CUMQUAT TIME!
I've noticed....
The immediate public reaction to the Obama/McCain debate are in from every pollster and media venue -- and Obama has been declared the "winner" by substantial margins (often double digits!) -- and especially among women and independent voters, two demographic groups coveted by both parties.
Consequently, all manner of trolls are out in force on the lefty blogs in an effort to counter reality -- from common poop trolls to handwringing concern trolls -- but no one is buying their disruptive nonsense.
When McCain's own highly-paid professional concern trolls -- Nicole Wallace and Nancy Pfotenhauer (Carly Fiorina has now been exiled) -- can't make the sale, then all bets are off.
The trolls...they feel a disturbance in the force.

I had a similar incident in a Port-O-Potty on a canoe trip ... had to let loose the beast in the morning and ended up with a giant splash of blue chemical shit (literally) in unpleasant places. I don't know if the Dook be male or female, but I gotta say it is NOT COOL to have blue chemical stranger shit land anywhere NEAR the vicinity of the vag. And this was just traumatizingly rightinthere. Yuck.

Good morning, QL.
I haven't stayed up all night for a long time...certainly not been part of the wee hour set, such as it is.
I had no problem with the "poop" part, as I suggested earlier in a rather tongue-in-cheek post (oh no, that's asking for trouble). I'm not one to turn from a lonely person just because they're crude.
However, once the troll switched to narrative, it all got creepy in the way that causes a psychiatrist to pause, arch an eyebrow, and start scribbling out a prescription.

Since I don't have a blog, I'll "thread whore," a word I think I will not use again.
First, I tried a bit of very dark humor.
Then there was a response to a comment about hearing others hoping for McCain to die in office.
That led finally to a diatribe--something I don't do much anymore--about our current culture of uncomfortably realistic parody.
By then, of course, everyone had gone to bed...except the poop troll.
Yuck. That meat ad is enough to make a vegetarian of anyone.
I'm not sure I get your point, Uncle Smokes. I'm a big fan of satire and parody...
That new SNL thing was funny, but the first one was a classic!
I predict Palin will be dropped from the ticket and replaced with Tina Fey. She's much more convincing in the role.

Good morning.
I think Palin will debate, and I think that the expectations for this debate have become so low that if she doesn't actuall fall on her face, she will be said to have won.
I noticed yesterday that the Obama camp is trying to raise those expectations, but from her own performances in the couple of interviews she has done, I don't think they have much of a chance of that.
A few hundred protesters lined the streets of downtown Philadelphia as Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin visited an Irish bar before Friday night's debate.
They held signs and chanted "Sarah Go Home".
Wearing a red Phillies jacket and jeans, Palin chatted and signed autographs with the Republicans who'd gathered to watch the face-off between John McCain and his Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
Palin left before the debate began, and didn't say where she planned to watch it.

That poor child. Having a mother who would actually do that to you to further HER career!!! Bless her heart.
Has anyody else noticed how the print media, including NYT and WaPo, are really looking into McCain's past and present?
I mean, I knew McCain wasn't exactly presidential timber, but what I didn't know was that he's also quite literally a gambler.
As GWPDA said, that kid ain't getting nowhere near a wedding tux. He'll be out in the back woods, lickspittle, as soon as they start insisting on that wedding.
There were no knockout blows in the first presidential debate of the fall, but John McCain outpointed Barack Obama often enough to encourage his followers that he can somehow overcome the odds and deny the Democrats the victory that has seemed to be in store for them.
And I noticed that Obama sighed a lot.
"No, honey; you're a roll model. "

Moe Szyslak
I was exploring the idea that parody and satire is becoming so hard to distinguish from the real thing, an oft-repeated statement here.
Like the Dadaist Marcel Duchamp predicting that in the future an artist would just point at an object and it'll become art--it's getting to where a satirist need only use direct quotations, and people will laugh.
I could post some of the craziest crap coming out of people's heads, and as long as I give you the safety valve of "just kidding," we laugh and move on--yet the crazy crap remains and circulates and actually becomes "truth" for the far too many whose critical thinking skills have atrophied.
I don't know if this is the best of times or the worst of times, but it has certainly been the most absurd of times. I guess I was suggesting that life itself has come to resemble a reality show or a performance art piece, and it's beginning to worry me.
Perhaps parody and satire has lost some of its punch as a sociopolitical tool, now a merely a palliative for thinkers weary of the real absurdities.
I could go on and consider ideas of cultural hegemony, a system with a safe place to keep its critics, coupled with notions of anti-politics.
However, it looks like I succeeded in making another diatribe, and I'll spare y'all any further indulgence.

I thought you were joking. They seem to think Bristol = Princess Diana or something.
There's a special spot in Hell for the motherfucker that created Dragon Tales.
I'm really convinced that if McCain wins it will be another squeaker. If Obama takes it, it will be in a landslide. And damnit, I just don't see how FL & OH can be trending red. I just don't get it. I don't think racism is the entire answer. But I could be wrong.
It really would be quite amusing if they scheduled a White House shotgun wedding and the groom skedaddled.
Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street's five biggest firms paid more than $3 billion in the last five years to their top executives, while they presided over the packaging and sale of loans that helped bring down the investment-banking system.
Merrill Lynch & Co. paid its chief executives the most, with Stanley O'Neal taking in $172 million from 2003 to 2007 and John Thain getting $86 million, including a signing bonus, after beginning work in December. The company agreed to be acquired by Bank of America Corp. for about $50 billion on Sept. 15. Bear Stearns Cos.'s James ``Jimmy'' Cayne made $161 million before the company collapsed and was sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co. in June.

Thanks, plantsman.
You just brightened my morning considerably.
Thanks for not slamming me for the extended writing. I know my own blog would be more appropriate, but at least here my half-baked, spur-of-the-moment thoughts get read.
Not only do I not have the energy or discipline to write everyday, I'm not sure I would want to go unread in some little corner of the blogosphere--like I mentioned a little earlier in the thread...too much like seeing my mother have those long arguments with someone beyond the bathroom mirror.
I obviously crave an audience, if only to avoid talking to myself.
Of course, I've also stayed up all night. My brain just won't let me sleep for the moment.
AAagh, good morning, but I am already very uncomfortable about the bill and it is quite obvious I don't want to spend Sunday living through another Gambling addicts debacle.
No wonder I'm working hard for Obama and no wonder I am leaving if he doesn't get elected. Gambling addicts do not, CAN not make good decisions. And yes, when backed into a corner, they get volatile, which helps us to understand McCain more. Good God, the Republican party needs to walk away from this man.
Oh, and BTW, one of #2s tactics was to represent something he wanted to do as a crisis, so I didn't have time to investigate into it properly. You know, I couldn't exactly call banks on Sundays, and such. I'm not sure the entire House and Senate aren't gamblers also.

It's the Expectant Mother of All Political Stunts.
It would be seen as such and thus fail as a tactic...a strategic blunder (not that McCain knows the difference).
I wonder whether McCain will continue to treat Obama so contemptuously.
plantsman
My guess is that he will. Like I said yesterday, Sen. McCain firmly believes that he is entitled to the presidency, and anyone who contests that (especially a person of color) has to be treated with contempt.
Uncle Smokes, I hope we have room for thoughtfulness here, especially in the morning.
(wishes Avedon or Attaturk would show up with keys)
I wonder whether McCain will continue to treat Obama so contemptuously.
I'm guessing he will for the rest of his life, during which he will never see another republican president.
Have I ever mentioned how #2 never looked me in the eye while talking? For years.
I thought it was because he thought I didn't deserve respect.
or was it
He was lying
or was it
He was ashamed.
I felt damned near ERASED.
Yeah, sure, lets erase the American people more than W already has.
It's the Expectant Mother of All Political Stunts.
Yup, and I had completely forgotten that the bride was gonna be mucho pregnant. Gov Palin & Snow Machine Guy do not seem to be especially nurturing parents.
Why is it that Obama mentioned bioidesel at least twice during the debate, but did not mention ethanol?
camelot, glad you got away from that. The pressure for Bristol and Levi to stay together no matter how things go worries me.
Perhaps because corn-based ethanol's reputation has dimmed considerably.
I also think someone should look into whether Todd Palin gambles. Is she the perfect little enabler? (like I apparently was)
POEHLER AS COURIC: "On foreign policy, I want to give you one more chance to explain your claim that you have foreign policy experience based on Alaska's proximity to Russia. What did you mean by that?"
It's not that much different than Sen. McCain's expertise gained by visiting Iraq and other countries.
Cindy enables John, there's no missing that.
Well, Levi has to be aware of how inlaws who divorce the family insiders get treated. Isn't that what the investigation of Palin is all about?
Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, ....
Maybe McCain can suspend the election until the weddingi happens and the Palin family crisis is resolved.
Good morning, peeps.

True, but cellulosic's fortunes are on the rise.
Switchgrass, bitches!
Heh:
At the United Nations, an Australian reporter accosted the actor Michael Douglas during a press conference and demanded to know - with a straight face, mind you - whether he felt any responsibility for the crisis because he delivered the line 'greed is good' as the character Gordon Gekko in the film Wall Street. 'Are you now saying, Gordon, that greed is not good?' the reporter asked.
'I'm not saying that,' a bemused Douglas replied. 'And my name is not Gordon. He's a character I played 20 years ago.'
OH, I do not wish to make you all relive the details of my experience, thats why you haven't read the details here before, but anyone who has dealt with this could almost predict the coming behavior.
As for Bristol, come on, she is leaving on attention hog, to marry another. Don't expect a happily married life. Welcome to Dysfunction Junction, Alaska.
I enjoy drinking ethanol.
The pressure for Bristol and Levi to stay together no matter how things go worries me.

Where was this reporter after 9/11? If only he'd accosted Kiefer Sutherland and demanded to know why Jack Bauer was slamming back beers in a Sunset Blvd. bar instead of getting the terriss.
That poor child. Having a mother who would actually do that to you to further HER career!!!
The timetable might be legitimately determined by the impending birth. Of course, the Palins would be classy enough to bar the press and outsiders.
Of course.
And then, Bristol has to top Mom's name-selecting weirdness.
Perhaps because corn-based ethanol's reputation has dimmed considerably.
plantsman
That's likely the case...Obama includes a biological example in his quick-list of alternatives, and mentioning bio-diesel probably seems better than getting sidetracked into "what makes the better ethanol."
As far as stump speeches and debate responses, the point is multiple alternatives, not the details.
And then, Bristol has to top Mom's name-selecting weirdness.
Fortunately she has the Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator at her disposal nowadays.
All our buses have "Powered by Biodiesel" emblazoned on them.

James Baker has the solution to global warming: Kill all the cows, "most of it comes from cow farts."
Even someone who is trying to stop, can't control the need to escape into gambling when put into a pressure filled situation. McCain's decision to run was a way to feed his gambling. No wonder he said he was not very good at economics.
Have I mentioned that #2 has an economics degree from an excellent university?
When you go to Gamblers Anonymous, they tell you if you have any money left and it is in the stock market to stop. Everyone knows the stock market is the biggest socially acceptable way to gamble.
I've never been "lucky" at gambling, so I mostly leave it alone -- and I never have money to burn, so there's that.
Always a surprise what NH undecided voters come up with as decision points
a teacher says "Obama is for performance bonuses, and that means standardized testing."
"Obama's programs would cause an expansion of fed gov't"
McCain's military experience "makes me feel safe"
"I'll wait and see what they (candidates) say about this financial crisis"

h
e

t

oh I forgot one (NH voters)
"I won't vote for Obama because he'll just get killed if he gets in"
sheets.
Don't fool yourself Plantsman, give yourself credit.
Many gamblers are not good at it, and many do not have the funds for it.
Before the shit hit the fan, #2 was bringing home a packet of alfredo noodles and a can of tuna for my kids to eat. Control. Poverty. He had a good paying job and I couldn't figure out why we were living like that.
He also printed out bank statements that were hard to discern from the real statements. Look for fraud in the White House if McCain gets elected.
I cannot allow myself to believe that would happen.
'I'm not saying that,' a bemused Douglas replied. 'And my name is not Gordon. He's a character I played 20 years ago.'
Moe Szyslak
Weird...ties in with what I was saying about reality and parody.
The reporter was probably going for a pop-culture angle to make the story more interesting...and the movie Wall Street is the closest most folks will ever get to the real thing.
I've only seen portions of the film, but I'm certainly cognizant of the "greed is good" line which spread in the culture further than the movie did.
What is that? I've often seen the clip used to introduce the 80's mindset and discussions of recent history. Reality and representation get blurred together.
We have a Supreme Court justice using a fictional character to justify war crimes, and yet he is not declared mentally unfit for office.
Is it real, a depiction of real, or fiction? Does that matter anymore?
Perhaps one day, along with toys and video games and clothes and food, we'll have movie and TV tie-ins for legislation.
Everything in our society will have its pop culture made-up equivalent, and that will become our institutional memory.
Marketing replaces history.
By all accounts, all bailouts stink to high heaven, but the point is not about retribution for those who caused the meltdown or the excesses of laissez faire capitalism but about protecting millions of innocent people caught up and hurt by it. In other words, when a car hits a pedestrian, do you call an ambulance first or do you lynch the driver before giving first aid to the victim?
