Shame OUT: House : Government Shutdown in 8 days

This is an example of PISS poor management I tried to cut and pasted and got THIS...

Stupid #$#@*Q syndicators think content protection works!

Real Image HERE:

And I bet the strip authors would PREFER their work to be shown and distributed: thanks to sixchix .

Hey. I've said it BEFORE...  We're about to go into YET ANOTHER Republican ENGINEERED Government shut-down alert.

THIS IS THE THIRD time this year.

AND I REPEAT.   ANYONE who thinks that our current political situation is SANE, is actually insane (that's called a Catch-22--Heh Heh)

We Are in a case of class warfare, and I am ready for the Republicans to be SLAUGHTERED in 2012.
.
We need (despite my qualms about the President), to RELECT him, and SWEEP in FILIBUSTER proof majorities in the HOUSE and Senate.

Then we need to:
* ENACT NEW financial reforms.
* Tax the wealthy that do NOT CURRENTLY pay ANY US taxes.
* Enact a REAL JOBS program, similar to the Works Project Administration.




9  8 7 days and counting. AND if we're lucky, the PRESIDENT will NOT bow down to the demands of the Tea-Party and Republican idiots. (I promised not to use the choice phrase I previously did because I was told it is a REALLY BAD bad phrase.*but I haven't deleted it previously if you are REALLY interested!!!..!) cheers

Financial Crisis: The band plays on

...And the band plays on (Dance band on the Titanic)...


Was in a waiting room today, saw CNBC and they had wall to wall financial crisis.

BUT NOBODY is asking them the KEY critical QUESTION:

What about ALL the TRILLIONS of dollars in CONSUMER debt that was made into
'CDO' (collateralized debt obligations) or CDS (ccollateralized debt swaps)

and sold ALL over the world JUST like the Subprime Mortgages?

I've been YELLING and SCREAMING that "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!"

I keep telling people that we're going to get another 75 % of the iceberg that we're about to hit...

OK, you wanted a Political discussion: Here goes.

AND NOTE I SAY we;re going into a **D*E*P*R*E*S*S*I*O*N** !

The background I believe that:
* We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.
* It's going to be as BAD as the last one.
* The current failures only bring us 25% into the problem!!
* According to Robert Reich (former Sec'y of Labor under Clinton): The only number that he EVER saw, defining the
depression was that the unemployment rate hovered around 25%.
* We need a new deal.
* After 58 years of NO Health Care Reform (since 1950!) it will FINALLY be coming soon...
* We've managed to WASTE a FULL generation (from Zero to thirty) with decaying social, educational, and interpersonal skills.
* Our nation is no longer DOING (producing) anything.
SO, from these few premises, I have extrapolated a great deal of items to FIX our society...

But....
We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

Here's what I came up with:

We need to do the FOLLOWING to FIX our Society:
* Create A Living Wage
* Create a National Single payer Healthcare
* Create a National 3-4 year draft (or alternate service)
* Create a Federally paid Day Care starting at six months
* Implement Tax Reform on the ULTRA Rich
* Lobbying (Political Reform)
* Education
* Infrastructure (road /bridge/Systems repairs)
* Lack of Training/futures
* Truth and Reconcilliation Commission
* A new "Manhattan" project, focusing on Energy INDEPENDENCE

Prediction: Wachovia Next, within two weeks

Lehman Brothers
Bear Sterns
Merill Lynch Bank Of America
Washington Mutual
AIG insurance

Are we done yet? HELL NO!

Wachovia is NEXT. I predict by October 10th (next Friday)
It will be either closed by the Office of thrift Supervision, or Totally acquired:

Citicorp and Wells Fargo are currently circling their wagons.

I say Wells Fargo has more of a chance.

Cheers,
And remember it's NOT even 25% into the crisis.

UNTIL the banks and the FEDS acknowledge that consumer DEBT CDO's are gonna
tank too, we will all be Bullshitting EVERYTHING....


cheers

Shout-Out: Goodbye Lehman Brothers, Goodbye US.Economy

Now, I'm not a rich person. (Even though I do know that a childhood friend is a multi-billionaire, I've never called him in adult-hood, for fear of being a "leech")

I was astounded to notice that I missed the headline when I went to bed last night saying, Bank of America bought MERRILL LYNCH.

They were SUPPOSED to buy Lehman Brothers.

The SKY is falling. The Sky is Falling.

I did say we were in for a DEPRESSION, DIDN'T I???

I did SAY the "mortgage" crisis was ONLY the TIP of the ICEBERG, DIDN't I?

Stock tip:

By the way, if you own WAMU stock, sell it at whatever loss that you can, or BETTER YET, SELL SHORT.

I'd say that it will be acquired this week, or closed/brokered by the FEDS.

GOODBYE and good Riddance. I liked them a few years ago when they chose to make a stand and open their ATM network for FREE to all users,
ANd then they undid themselves and reversed their position.

No way, WAMU... GOODBYE.

Back to Chicken Little:

I did say.. (I need to research through my almost 600 posts in the past three years...)

* THAT we are headed for a HUGE DEPRESSION when our economic system TANKS.

* THat we're gonna have unemployment that we can't even IMAGINE today.
* That it's gonna take A NEW deal (again) to get the country OUT of this.

See the lovely post UNDER the bar... There is an 11 point program that will GET US OUT of this (and I've been telling people this for almost 2 years now... but I have zero readership!!!so what good does it do??)

DeathWatch:Ford says, "we're still stupid and brain dead"

Ford Mordor Corporation (much better name, closer to real life!)

Today they announced that:

Because of the industrywide slowdown in truck sales, Ford also said it would delay the introduction of the all-new F-150 pickup truck by two months, to late fall, as the automaker was having difficulty selling off the old body style.

Ya mean? $140 per barrel Oil was NEVER thought of by the IDIOTS in Detroit?

Take their congressmen and Senators from Michigan and round them out by the Henry Ford Museum and have the EX-NAZI Sympathizers SHOOT their Congressional representatives.

What the F#*&#^$ were the auto industry lobbyists thinking for the past 25 years when the told the Michigan delegation to STALL ng and DENY all "CAFE" auto standard improvements.

As*holes... Pure As*holes...

And Ford does what? delays introducing the new full size pickup trucks two months.

NOT re-engineering the engines... NOT working on a plug-in Hybrid... or more alternative fuel production...

But hey... cutting production of these gas-guzzlers is a better idea...

why invest in the future, if you can convince the masses that they are STUPID

and need to BUY big gas guzzlers.

Gee. How 'bout increasing and importing those cars you sell in EUROPE??? Huh?

bet they'd sell much better you dip-sh*ts....


btw:

=================================
(In case you haven't seen this, I believe the CURRENT recession will become a BAD DEPRESSION (Just like the 1930's!)
We're HEADING into a DEPRESSION.

We need a new deal.

We need to make sure that a number of issues are resolved ALL at once.
If we don't do them ALL at once, its like juggling three RUNNING chain saws, but dropping one!

Politics: Cheney OUTED on Waterboarding..

Gee... Haven't I said in the past that George Bush was the PUPPET and

THE PUPPET-MASTER was VP Dick Cheney?


Apparently the puppetmaster

was PRESENT and the HIGHEST ranking official in THE GOVERNMENT

THAT approved WATERboarding and 'intense' techniques against prisoners..

See here (AP via ABCnews)

AUGH...

I been avoiding updating... but this forces me again!

OiL Prices too! : 2007 update

Quick I told you so!


Look HERE

I Said (4/17/06) OIL would be $89-$95 per barrel by December 31st 2006.

So I was off by a year....

Hmmm...

Look at the rest of the top 10 predictions:

1 True

5 True
6 True
7 False (so far)
8 True
9 False (vista did go out, much to our frustration!)

Wow. I scare myself sometimes, now included

DeatH to Smoochie RIAA: RadioHEAD ROCKS

OK. The RIAA IS going down AGAIN.


RadioHead is releasing their new album on 10/10 from their website.

It is 40 british pounds for a physical cd/vinyl/cassette for December delivery.

Anything goes, even $00.00

Detroit: Who left the A**holes in charge?? (TransFormerS)

I laugh. I cry.. I sympathize for the people who still live in Detroit.

BuT:

WHO died and left A***HOLES in charge of General Motors?

They think they will win market share in THIS day and age by doing THIS???

Excite (AP) reports, "GM Hopes Movie Will Transform Sales"

In this photo provided by General Motors, a Hummer H2 is shown. The automaker is spending millions to promote and market its "Transformers" tie-ins. With a shrinking U.S. automotive market and amid stiff competition from overseas rivals, GM is banking on the exposure translating into sales.

Oh Irony of Ironies:
and I quote... (the director of the movie, says one of the cars, ...)

Bumblebee takes the shape of a well-traveled 1970s-era Camaro, prompting Fox's character to ask: " Why if he's such a super advanced robot does he turn into this piece of crap Camaro? "

Not long after, Bumblebee upgrades to the concept Camaro, an event that (..the director) said has been met with spontaneous audience applause at a number of screenings, including at a film festival in Italy.

GM is hoping car buyers have a similar reaction.

I say:
WHY the HECK didn't GM use it's BRAINS. WE DONT want the 60's MUSCLE cars ANYMORE.
STOP trying to FORCE FEED us these DAMN stupid Gas GUZZLERS! We're sick of them!

We want Gas saving cars. We DONT want the HYDROGEN car, and the BS research you're trying to force down our throats.

Start with diesels READY for bio-fuels.
Sell them READY to take WASTE Vegetable OIL (OR EVEN CLEAN veggie oil!--same difference.)

We don't WANT your damn sleazy 450 Horsepower cars that go 10 gallons per MILE!

to quote a book by Michael Moore "STUPID WHITE MEN!"

TecH: Porn Kings vs. Newspapers

Heh Heh. I like this. InfoWorld discusses an article in the NY-Times comparing "Traditional" XXX DVD movie producers and how they are being hurt by the internet, just like Newspapers.

Alexander Wolfe in infoweek says:

What do purveyors of dirty pictures have in common with journalists? Answer: They're both getting screwed by the Internet.

In a nutshell, he says

At fault is the same effect the Times cites as operative in the porn industry: The abundant availability of free content online.

Kudos to Darrin BELL!(Candor) NSPD-51

HEY someone else is paying attention TOO!

AND they see EXACTLY what WE see too!!!!

Kudos, and acknowledgements to Mr. Bell for being one of the FIRST mainstream cartoonists
(besides Doonsbury- Gary Trudeau) to say we are being HEISTED.

DICTATOR BUSH: lookie at latest BULLTURDS-update

Thanks to SKIPPY for catching this BULLSHIT from our PRESIDENT.

Thanks to Darrin Bell (cartoonist of CANDORVILLE) for this cartoon!



What SKIPPY CAUGHT!
The original is apparently HERE

The ORIGINAL Press release from WHITE HOUSE

WHAT it MEANS

Billy Joel said:
Say GoodBye to HollyWOOD Say goodbye my baby.

I say
Say goodbye to Democracy Say Hello Dictator BUSH

OK. As USUAL a paragraph by paragraph analysis:
Captioning for the brain impaired!

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement,on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement,
BUSH TRIED to slip this one past by WITHOUT COMMENT

>>>on May 9
15 Days ago!

>>>signed a directive
A LAW that was NOT voted or even LOOKED at by CONGRESS

>>>that granted near dictatorial powers

dic·ta·tor:
a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.
SO our PRESIDENT can now create a DICTATOR

>>>to the office of the president
THAT is TO HIMSELF (and his OFFICE)

>>>in the event of a national emergency

Hmmm,THE press release says:
...snip...national emergency..
..snip..."Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;
...So, if we have EXTRAordinary disruption...

>>>declared by the president.

so HE can declare himself, the OFFICE of the DICTATOR!

Hey we finished a paragraph!!

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

>>>The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive
Fancy talk for LAW implemented by HIMSELF, rather then by CONGRESS

>>>with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive
So important, he issues the same thing TWICE!

>>>establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator
Ah, A new bureaucratic title,the NCC.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

>>>to make plans for "National Essential Functions"

The Job ...snip...makes Plans (MS-PROJECT!) for National Essential Functions"

>>> of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments,
...{review: Makes plans for} all {federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal} governments

>>> as well as private sector organizations
...and... {also plans for}private sector organizations.

>>>to continue functioning
{review: PLANS for take overs of ALL government AND private groups} so they continue to work

>>>under the president's directives
under the president's ORDERS!!!!

>>>in the event of a national emergency.
{or in case he declares an EMERGENCY!}

The executive order loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

>>> doy, already covered this above..
See ABOVE, where it says "The press release"

When the president determines a catastrophic emergency has occurred, the president can take over all government functions and direct all private sector activities to ensure we will emerge from the emergency with an "enduring constitutional government."

>>>When the president determines a catastrophic emergency has occurred,
or, when he decides he wants to stay in power... after 2008 (because giving in to democrats would be giving in to TERRORISTS...

>>>the president can take over all government functions
Yeah, we get it...Like a...hmmm D*I*C*T*A*T*O*R

>>> and direct all private sector activities
Yeah, LIKE A DICTATOR...

>>>to ensure we will emerge from the emergency with an "enduring constitutional government.
Yeah RIGHT! IF the emergency EVER ends. EGYPT has been under emergency for over 27 years

And in the IRONY is Still here category

Ironically, the executive order sees no contradiction in the assumption of dictatorial powers by the president with the goal of maintaining constitutional continuity through an emergency.

>>>
No comment needed.

The directive specifies that the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism will be designated as the National Continuity Coordinator.

...snip...specifies that ...snip...the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism will be designated THE NEW DICTATOR of the UNITED states!
{under the instructions of the first dictator (bush the first)}

>>> Currently, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism is Frances Fragos Townsend.

Townsend spent 13 years at the Justice Department before moving to the U.S. Coast Guard where she served as Assistant Commandant for Intelligence.
So we can technically say, MADAME dictator!

SORRY I can't finish this, I am too sick

Please forward this post to your local news agency and ask why they aren't covering this??

This has been NEWS for the short attention span!

TecH: Microsoft to EAT/Swallow YAHOO??

Augh, that would mean I need to DITCH my yahoo-groups, yahoomail and everything else yahoo


AUGH, the pain

Look here for source

Oh and the stock (Yhoo) is up 17% today so far!

Don Imus-- my 2 cents

OK. I am a native (and now old/ex) New Yourker (yes, that is the correct spelling for the accent)

As such, I was lucky enough to listen to DON Imus 40+ years ago, when he first came on the air
.

He was on WNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNBBBBBBBBBCCC -Am (now WFAN)
(as imortalized in the Howard Stern, "private parts" movie....

Don Imus became old history when Howard Stern Hit the PM airwaves (yes, after the Soupy Sales Show) 27 years ago.

He was history. He was damaged goods, He was no longer state of the art.

Just like Howard Stern became old history when O&A (Opie and Anthony) came into NY, about 10 years ago.

I said then (try googling it on slashdot... id was very interesting... melksuckz)
Howard SHOULD have RETIRED the DAY they came into NYC..

'Nuff said. except that I've been there. I was listening the day that Howard was fired from WNBC, and the day that O&A got canned from WNEW for being "insensitive" to the feelings of Catholics when they ran a listener contest titled, "Sex for Sam" which encouraged listeners to
go to St. Patricks Cathederal.


IT was a STUNT. GET over it.

DONT like it? DONT listen

WHAT about when JESSIE Jackson called ALL of NY City "HYMIE TOWN"????

I could give 30-40 examples.

It is ALL blown out of proportion...


And by the way.
IMUS (or Howard either) DOESNT need the money.

So Imus will go back west to his ranch, and continue to raise money for CHARITY.


WE (as listeners) all lose because of CENSORSHIP and inappropriate condemnation.

After all The REV. AL SHARPTON DID support the original HYPOCRISY of
his SUPPORT for TAWANA Brawley....


So... We get closer to BIG BROTHER seizing the microphone....
OY vey!!!

Politics: First BUSH insider TURNS REBEL

I'm PUMPED

Headline in TODAY's (NY) Times:

Ex-Aide Details a Loss of Faith in the President

In a wide-ranging interview here, Mr. Dowd called for a withdrawal from Iraq and expressed his disappointment in Mr. Bush’s leadership.

Looking back, Mr. Dowd now says his faith in Mr. Bush was misplaced.

Mr. Bush still approached governing with a “my way or the highway” mentality reinforced by a shrinking circle of trusted aides.

“I really like him, which is probably why I’m so disappointed in things,” he said. He added, “I think he’s become more, in my view, secluded and bubbled in.”

In speaking out, Mr. Dowd became the first member of Mr. Bush’s inner circle to break so publicly with him.

In speaking out, Mr. Dowd became the first member of Mr. Bush’s inner circle to break so publicly with him.

WAY TO GO GEORGE! FIRST BLOOD!!! GO GO VAMPIRE BLOOD!!

Dowd Continues:

I’m a big believer that in part what we’re called to do ...snip... other people call it karma — is to restore balance when things didn’t turn out the way they should have, Mr. Dowd said.

Just being quiet is not an option when I was so publicly advocating HIS election.

He goes on to say:

“We should design campaigns that appeal not to 51 percent of the people,” he said, “but bring the country together as a whole.”

(that) the president’s announcement last fall that he was re-nominating the former United Nations ambassador John R. Bolton, whose confirmation Democrats had already refused, was further proof to him that Mr. Bush was not seeking consensus with Democrats.

that he came to believe Mr. Bush’s views were hardening , with the reinforcement of his inner circle. But, he said, the person “who is ultimately responsible is the president.”

He gradually ventured out with criticism, going so far as declaring last month in a short essay in Texas Monthly magazine that Mr. Bush was losing “his gut-level bond with the American people,”

If the American public says they’re done with something, our leaders have to understand what they want, Mr. Dowd said. They’re saying, ‘Get out of Iraq.’

Wow... Can we dream that George really knows how to read and gets the hint?

PoliticS: SICK SICK SICK Impeach ALL of WASHINGTON

OK. Now I REALLY want to throw up... OL' Froth shows us a 10 min clip of
REAL REPUBLICANs at work....
GOT 10 minutes? l want to throw up.... REALLY and as a TRUE DEMOCRAT of OUR COUNTRY.

Ms. Lurita Doran, the HEAD of the GSA(Government Services Administration) that HUGE supposedly NON-PARTISAN agency that RUNS the ENTIRE government (and provides copiers, computers, and paper clips too)

Is sitting thru a scathing session on CSPAN3 dated yesterday, of Congressman Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), asking her about a POWER-point presentation on GSA property, DURING work hours from a WHITE house (non-career) employee, talking about HOW the GSA can help
take back the SENATE and Congress in 2008

YOU've gotta take the 10 minutes this clip will go, and just watch, and ...
YOU'll be as mortified as I was at her CRASS BULLSHIT

Summary...

It starts with her saying,
yes I guess that my office gave YOU this powerpoint.
Yes, I understand that the powerpoint was presented
NO I don't remember a thing.
No, I didnt know waht that slide meant, I dont recall ever seeing this before
No, I dont recognize this
Yes, this was given by a political operative of the white house, as a "team building" exercise
No, I dont remember getting up after the presentation and saying anything
OH, you have sworn statements that I said, LETS give 100% of the GSA to get the TEAM going from now ON???

OH I dont remember that

OH, I'm under oath? are you saying I'm lying?
NO, we have statements from multiple parties at taht meeting that you said similar comments.

and SQUIRM squirm, squirm she does.

HumorR: Rove Testimony under "cone of silence"™

Over at Don Davis's Blog
He has this great headline with a photo of my all-time FAVORITE MEL-Brooks (written) TV SHOW,"GET SMART"!

"Under Bush’s plan, White House aides such as Karl Rove and Harriet Miers would testify under the infamous “Cone of Silence” employed in the iconic 1960’s spy show, Get Smart."

Just to ensure that no public leaks of testimony occur, Bush added that “only Republicans will be allowed into the Cone of Silence, with the exception, of course, of Joe Lieberman.” However, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed out, “Lieberman’s head might be too big to fit under the Cone.”

Thanks to Don at http://satiricalpolitical.com for this great item.

Impeach NOW: BUSH and CHENEY MUST GO

OK I'm tired. TELL THE GUY with THE button,

HE LOST the last election!

Sorry. THIS IS BULLSHIT.

ABC News (I like their RSS feeds, I don't watch their news, ok?) leads off with THIS STORY here

stating:

A defiant President Bush warned Democrats Tuesday to accept his offer to have top aides testify about the firings of federal prosecutors only privately and not under oath or risk a constitutional showdown from which he would not back down.

Oh YEAH, BRING it on. Unlike CLINTON, HE WILL LOSE the F#&#$%^ Impeachment vote in the SENATE..

And I also say IMPEACH the DAMNED VP at the same time.

As I said PREVIOUSLY... PRESIDENT Pelosi will work fine for me!

Ditch the LYING THIEVING, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC, PRO-TORTURE, PRO-"US-citizen spying" PRESIDENT that thinks HE IS America's answer to the congress and the democrats

Start with the Attorney GENERAL
THEN GO TO CHENEY
THEN remove SECURITY CLEARANCE from CARL ROVE

Just IMPEACH the ENTIRE Presidential Branch for VIOLATING our CONSTITUTION


There. I feel Somewhat better.
Now if the damned congress would JUST get started with this!

In Memoriam: Anna Nicole Smith (1967-2007: {39})

I Can't belive it.

The Stripper who got it all, went to the Supreme Court, and got the chance for her money again.

Just to have her son die last fall.

She died today.

Hmmmm... Live fast, die young, just like her hero Marilyn Monroe.. At least we have a Marilyn Monroe movie we can watch to remember HER!

"She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner," her lawyer said. Monroe died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962.

The Texas-born Smith was a topless dancer at strip club before she entered her photos in a search contest and made the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992.

Goodbye my precious... We'll miss you, and the great headlines we watched from you

NoT HumoR: In Memoriam Twoey

OK. Memorial number two for this year. (# 1 was here)

My newfound Friend HERE. Explains this Picture: by saying:

The Body (and apartment building) aren't even cold yet, and people are already sending me gallows humor about Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle smacking his plane into an apartment building:

Yes fans, today's plane crash was NOT a terrorist incident, but a TERROR incident, in which one flight instructor, and one student pilot with over 75hrs flight experience (and the owner of the $187,000 plane too) CRASHED when SOMETHING happened to the plane over the EAST River.

It COULD have been worse (and also a terrorist incident if it had happened 42 blocks south, at the UN, which he likely passed (at that speed) about 20 seconds before CRASHING!

Some possible ideas on comments on this are:

• The FAA and Major League Baseball are scoring this an E1.
• Cory Lidle ends the season with a one-hitter.
• Better then the YANKEES ending record (ooh, low blow!)
• Plunk!
• LaGuardia Air Traffic Control is being charged with a blown save.
• Joe Torre has already called Triple-A Columbus and asked them to start having prospects smash hang gliders into grain elevators.
• The Thurman Munson Flight School is refusing requests for interviews.
• The flight instructor must have been at the controls, because since when has an American League pitcher ever hit for himself?
