All of you pwogwessives at this here Saloon are upset because the bailout or whatever you want to call it is being done by a Republican Administration. If this was Laura Tyson or a Paul Krugmaniac in a Gore or Kerry or Clinton or Obaba Administration doing this instead of the Bush guy, you'd be relieved that wold markets have been rallying on this news.

This here mess started with Democrat Politicians pushing bankers to violate their normal lending rules, some kind of monstrosity called "The Community Resurrection Act" or something like that, my frem.

Then there was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "securitizing" lots and lots of bad mortgages, each of these companies was packed with about 20 loyal Democrats, each pulling down salaries and bonuses of at least $1,000,000.00 a year. Fannie and Freddie spent hundreds of millions of dollars lining politicians' pockets. Obama's buddy, Raines, has pulled down at least $100,000,000.00 over his "stewardship" of Fannie Mae. Yup, thanks to his hard work at this Ponzi Scheme, he got to be a centi millionaire, my frem. Fannie and Freddie bundled these bad, doomed to fail mortgages, and Wall Street had no trouble until now peddling and trading this junk paper.

What you gotta understand is Wall Street loves Democrats. Next to the trial lawyers, and teachers and public employee unions, Wall Street gives more to Democrats than anybody else.

Why do you think you see the dour faced Robert Rubin, formerly of Goldman Sachs, standing there with your Messiah, Barry 0? Why do you think another Goldman partner, Corzine, is the Democrat Governor of New Jersey? Why do you think Sandy Weil, the former chairman of Citicorp, escaped with his couple hundred million scott free after the Worldcom and Enron disasters? Hint, he was one of the Clintons' favorite White House guests.

Nobody wants to worry that their $1200 check from their $72,000 money market fund just bounced. Nobody wants to worry that their paycheck will bounce because Bank America couldn't honor it. If the goberment does nothing, stuff like this will happen, Mister Yardbird, sir.

Geeze, Pat A Tail, why couldn't you say exactly where I wuz wong, sir?

Maybe you been patting too many tails, an you got slapped too many times for that.

Seriously (ok I realize you can't be serious cause you are an Obababot) how do you think alla dis here stuff got started if it wasn't a bunch of quasi-sozializt politicians (Demokraouts) making the banks give their constituents free houses?

(OK you're allowed to say, 'why din't da banks say NO?'....... but the answer is simple, "politics rule economics and economics rule the world." -- but we free thinking types understand that you can only jump up and down and scream for the next 5 1/2 weeks because you are an Obamabot.)

How did alla dis mess get started, Pat A Tail?

I'm gonna turn off me football game and read it as soon as you splain it sir.

What has alla dis soziazm done for India, where you still got millions sleeping in the streets of Dehli, sir?

When you go back, please sir, don't you see they are trying to switch to a market economy instead of this warmed over soviet system which ran India into the ground, Swami?

Ground cardamon is so good in coffee, when the rest of the world discovers it, it will go to $100 per ounce, so, we will not only be dependent on the middle east for oil, they will also have cornered the market on Cardamon.

You see, the librals won't let us grow Cardamon here.

It might add to global worming.

I am not defending every detail of this plan, and you are probably right, much of it is costly to us all and dangerous.

All I am saying is: the danger began a good time ago when most politicians, mostly the Democrat ones, leaned on our lending institutions, and these institutions were pressured into giving too many mortgages to people no responsible lender could trust.

It was like let's pretend these people who could no way afford a down payment were just as reliable as you and me who spent many years saving for a down payment. You and I would never walk away from our home, but it is very easy for them to do so.

And, the rest, as they say is history.

So do not trust Gingrich or Obama on this: they both want to score political points, and I like neither one of them: Neut is an undisciplined bloviator and Barry 0 is a slick trickster who just might give this country up to the virus which consumed all of Eastern Europe and much of Asia.

You're the one who sounds adolescent. How old are you, sir?

Anybody who calls hisself 'totally' has got to be very very young, dude.

So, "totally," you are a young dude, and I am your elder, sir.

So let me give you some advice from a mature dude:

Never press a lady until she presses you first.

Never kiss a lady until she starts kissing you.

Never trust a candidate whose wife bitterly asks, "Where is MY trust fund?"

This kind of bitter person is more materialistic than Jamie Gorelick ever could be (because maybe Jamie Gorelick, Clinton's chief assistant AG, was born with trust funds; but probably she was not born with the kind of trust funds Michelle was not born with either, because, otherwise, why would Jamie Gorelick have to spend so much time conning the system if she had already been born with at least $10 million in trust funds.)
