QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) Thankfully the Pension Benefit Guarantee corp. still exists and is in perfect health, thanks to George Bush's refusal to touch it. Oh. Actuall, I was referring to the State and Municipal pensions. They were woefully underfunded and the beneficiaries are promised returns that will never in a million years be met.

So the crew of latest high-jacked ship apparently has regainesd control of the vessel. 1 of the 4 high jackers is in custody. I think the crew just found a new anchor.

Don't forget the looming pension crisis on the horizon. I believe this is the next area of concern.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 08:59 AM) I don't know how to say this any other way, but SUV's are what people want. If that's what they want, then make them. Simple supply and demand. I guess we should all just drive those GM segways, right? Only if they are solar powered with a wind powered after burner.

Credit spreads are at their widest level since crisis began.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 07:12 AM) Is it worth pointing out, again, here exactly how much money Barack Obama got from the banks who are taking these trillions of dollars in various forms? Not only money. How about positive press coverage from NBC and his buddy Jeff Immelt. The gov't has guaranteed over $130 billion in their paper. If Citi AIG and others go... so too should Immelt.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) I think some of this is getting cherry picked and not reported correctly. By the HUFF POST? Come on Kap you cynic.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 06:44 AM) I think the majority are viewing it as Obama and the Democrats doing something to fix this crisis and the Republicans doing nothing but saying "the financial geniuses that got us into this mess will get us out" while proposing joke budgets and massive tax cuts with no coherent planning. The joke budget is this current President believing the economy is going to grow at over a 4% clip next year. What is he smoking?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) So how can no one believe my point of view? You cannot sit there with a straight face and tell me that this is all roses and greatness. If you can, you're delusional (no offense personally, I mean generally). ANYTIME you spend this kind of money in government it's not good. If people don't believe that, then our country has just become the Republic of Chinese America. The fundementals of our economy are strong., the President said so a few days ago. Stronger now than when McCain said it 6 months ago.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 12:37 PM) I have no idea what this has to do with the Republican thread, but... awesome. I know I was laughing so hard I had to just put it somewhere. But not its own thread. FWIW.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20560.html Somebody needs a diaper change. Would it be too much to ask for Reid to provide some examples. After all he did vote againstRoberts, so how, exactly was he fooled?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) And here I thought Obama was the one weak on terror, i guess the GOp just doesnt want to make time for it anymore... Senate Republicans Skip White House Afghan Briefing awww... I'm sorry. Here I thought national security was far more important that partisan politics. Nice job cherry-picking the quote though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) you guys should really link your articles. If you are referring to me they are blog entries from National Review Online.

Via Media [email protected] On Friday March 20, Keith Olbermann named "Twitter" the Worst Person in the World — specifically, a conspiracy to create a fake Twitter profile for him. Here's the transcript: But our winner is Twitter. I told you this was trouble. I find out today that I have 13,900 some odd followers on Twitter. I‘m not on Twitter. I tried to sign up last summer and abandoned the project. I found this out when I got a piece of junk e-mail today, at my address, from some outfit trying to barnacle on to the Twitter process. Though it was my address, it had somebody else‘s name on it, possibly whoever was perpetuating the fraud. The subject line read “Dan Cooper Media, local Tweet request.” And the e-mail began, “hi Dan Cooper Media.” Who is Dan Cooper and why would he be getting spam e-mail about my fake Twitter account? He is one of the five architects of Fox News. Despite all this, Twitter will not suspend the phony account in my name. Just remember, whoever you think you are following on Twitter, might be them and it might not. Twitter, tonight‘s worst persons in the world. And now the really funny part. This is from today's New York Times "Bits" blog on Twitter's future business model: The team does not yet know what the paid service will include, but Mr. Stone said it will likely offer things like analysis of the traffic to businesses’ Twitter profiles and verified accounts so customers know they are talking to the actual business. (That would help businesses avoid the Keith Olbermann mishap earlier this week. Mr. Olbermann named Twitter “the worst person in the world” for allowing a fake account under his name, but it turned out that MSNBC was running the account, unbeknownst to Mr. Olbermann, says Mr. Stone.) Anyone know of an apology to Fox News yet? I did a quick search of the show's transcripts from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and didn't see one. Also of note, I actually was following Keith Olbermann on Twitter for a day or so, until I realized he wasn't using it. Whoever is in charge of the feed now has blocked it from public view. But, from what I remember, the posts were in the first person. Maybe NBC should admit that it was ghost-posting for one of its anchors?
