13. You'd love being around me

when a republican is mouthing off on TV.I got some soft rubber sucker balls,soft jelly balls,and a nerf dart gun I keep near the TV remote, I cuss up a storm and fire away at the tv,I aim the sucker ball to cover up *'s face. All while my roommate or any friends in the room blow soda out their noses and nearly have an aneurysm laughing their asses off. I can do a 20 minute blue streak if I am pissed enough.And trust me it's creative cussing too.

6. I found this...

"The new kid at the Treasury hasn’t quite learned you really can’t talk in public about what you are really up to at Treasury. New Interim Assitant Secretary of the Office of Stability, Neel Kashkari, has been caught on tape providing the true details of what Treasury is up to. This will get him muzzled pretty fast, but it provides us the opportunity to see the scheming going on at Treasury.

Kashkari’s statements were posted on YouTube, and now appear to have been removed."

12. When Kashkari was introduced by the media as the person in charge of the bailout monies

I could not believe he, like his boss, were past Goldman Sachs executives. You would think by now they would at least try to make their appointments look legitimate.

14. I hope rachel and keith tear it up

And reveal what it means to the listeners,in real terms and explain what it says in it's fucking putrid glory and turn the nation against these fucking asshole"Ceo" Banker pieces of shit robber barons. It is time we took back what was STOLEN from us.If they don't hand it over,well Bastille Day comes to mind,Ggrrrrr..

7. on the one hand Obama supported the bill... bad bill might equal "bad obama" to some

on the other hand, per Cenk's take on it... this discloses a conspiracy to take the teeth out aspects of the legislation, that Obama supported... an attack on Democratic efforts by Bush/McCain operatives.

Obama issues a firm assurance that pro-consumer provisos will be enforced under HIS administation?

net plus

Election aside, Ms is right... these are some of the skankiest MFs in human history

The national and global economy are collapsing and they're maneuvering to cash in, in advance of all the human suffering that's bound to come from it

nasty, nasty people

8. Can someone do that whole "digg" thing to get more attention to this?

I'm rather clueless about the digg phenomenon.

10. of course

Why else would they try to force it through quickly, before the cops could arrive? A month later, we're still deliberating, and the world has not exploded and imploded simultaneously.

11. Here's where you can DIGG it! :)

16. Looks like Bush is already doing this, as per this MSNBC article.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27161138/

<snip>

The Bush administration plans to spend as much as $250 billion of the $700 billion bailout buying stock in private banks, greatly expanding protections for the U.S. financial system out of deep concern for the faltering economy, industry and government officials said Monday night. President Bush planned to announce the details Tuesday morning.

<snip>

While the administration refused to provide details in advance, two officials with knowledge of the plan said it would include billions of dollars in spending by the government to purchase stock in banks as a way of providing them desperately needed money so they could resume more normal lending. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the details were yet to be formally released.

The administration will use perhaps as much as $250 billion of the bailout program recently passed by Congress to buy into U.S. banks, the officials said. The government will initially purchase stock of nine large banks, but the program is expected to be expanded to many others.

<snip>

The $700 billion rescue program that Congress passed Oct. 3 will continue to feature the purchase by the government of banks’ bad assets but will now devote a significant part of the effort to direct government purchases of stock in banks, an idea that Paulson brought up only last week.


<snip>

=====================================================================


So, the initial $250 billion released of the $700 billion authorized will be used to buy shares of 9 large banks, not all of which are failing. It supposedly is a maneuver to try to "unfreeze" the credit market.

17. Please let us know if you see this in media today...

Since this article indicates the Dems were duped (duh, couldn't see that one coming), this is Bushco at its finest shoving shit in the Dem's face, not to mention the American people.

It's hard to separate from the bailout, since both candidates supported it, albeit with reservation. Hay could be made out of this tidbit, IMO.
