So, get me an answer, even if after he fact because I pondered this a while back.

Finally decided on galvanized metal roofing, cheaper than white and with today's finishes fairly attractive.

BUT if I'd known white was MORE reflective than your reflective, I woulda gotten that.

I have visions of pilots afraid to look down on sunny days. Joy.

Nice. Big letters, almost comic-book style, easy math. Well and precisely done.

There are references to 'cool' roofing and the white word and reflective but not specifically of metallic. And its relative RF (radiative forcing).

With the price of metal roofing going through self-same roof, it's important.

And then, the carbon footprint of producing/surfacing the white v. metallic ?

Good stuff

Absolutely crazed...In the best sense!

But lovely, bless yur heart.

[god knows why] Rent-seeking Behavior? And isn't that what the people with money ALWAYS do. [See..Lobbyist-as-Industry, et al].

And is it any surprise that F.I.RE. owns Washington? But what does one actually DO to curtail these behaviors.

So until there is real plan to obviate [I would really rather see them hard at it on work-farms] these ass-holes they will DO..Exactly what they do. Because they can. And the rest on our part is just noise.

We need armed Econo-Cops...big nasty ones...

They don't even see it...looking.

...For this.

If the Treasury is able to sell the assets for a good price, the monies paid by the Treasury were a purchase. If the Treasury is not able to sell the troubled assets ever and must eat a large loss, the monies paid by the Treasury are deemed to have been an investment in the firm -- and the government and the taxpayers own a pro-rata share of the firm, and get a pro-rata share of the dividends and the capital gains the firm earns in the future.

Something making sense, something sorta fair and something McDummer, here, can get his head around.

Very.

Hard to know, providing that they imbibed the water too, what hormonal agent/psuedo-estrogen flushed-down-the-toilet sort of thing might be in the water.

Or even something more along the pituitary axis.

That so...not much of a reach to hypothesize an agent to stimulate fertility per se. Or even the baby's gender.

McCain comes before the debate audience and tells us he's fixed the

Betcha. Money goes down ...now. 6:07PM MST

So if #4

But the easiest and quickest way to get real help to homeowners is point 4 -- permitting bankruptcy judges to make modifications of mortgages.

might just be adopted we'd get through.

But this [comment] is where it has utterly to fail...history tells us.

Fat chance

4. Permit modification of the mortgages in bankruptcy, or....

Biden would never allow this to pass, either in the Senate or as VP.

Go through this article on the previous bankruptcy reform law and search for Biden. Preventing option 4 is the reason the financial services industry has contributed so heavily to both political parties.

The dems have already caved under exactly this sort of Corporate pressure to FISA, they will, of course, do it again.

Britain was on Sunday preparing to pump more than £37bn into four of the country’s largest banks in a broad-based recapitalisation that could that could see the UK government end up with controlling stakes in Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS.

Your caveat is inapplicable. JC hisself best not run on THAT ticket.

The Drop in the Bucket argument

Why bother spending half an hour or more going to the polls and waiting in line when the chance is infinitesimal..

Because while it may be just a drop in the bucket

It is nonetheless ...a drop in the bucket

And if you hadn't dropped it, it wouldn't be.

In the bucket at all.

I'm assuming...

Keynes wrong and right ** http://www.atimes.com

The financial crisis and revived enthusiasm for government intervention in the economy has rendered "Keynesian" an ubiquitous legitimizing adjective for actions that make very little sense and bear little relation to his thinking. The world would be better off acting in the true spirit of the man. - Joe Costello

So how 'bout this for his idea?

If Detroit wants more government money, let them begin building more buses, trolleys and trains.

Mightn't that work?
