why not let it fail? With a SPLAT.

btw could some responsible adult explain why Nancy Pelosi is front-and-center with Paulson and Cox pushing for this stark rip-off? Is she a Lieberman Democrat?

The bailout is not on the table, Nancy.

Because JESUS wants us to. JESUS needs only programmable sheep. Dumb fucking idea rolling your way? EMBRACE IT. ADOPT IT AS YOUR OWN. No idea is too dumb to promote.

Don't think. Let go. Let God.

My God, she's like Dubya with tits.

That the reports I read on my favorite "fringe" (ie dissident) websites of GOP insiders tearing their hair out in frustration over Ms. Palin's "cluelessness" are at least half-true.

What could possibly be more American than mixing sex with violence?

Rape is SACROSANCT. The Concerned Women for America know this and are to be applauded.

Screw the bailout. No fucking way. Let the Fed fail, and good riddance.

The idea of keeping such a corrupt system alive on life support is offensive. LET IT DIE ALREADY the world will be a better place.

Calls like "NO! NO WAY! NO WAY! NO BAILOUT! NO WAY!" left, I felt, very little wiggle room. Bailout? NO. NO WAY.

Let it fail horrifically. Bailing out Wall Street? CEOs departing failed corporations with $20 million golden parachutes? Are you JOKING? NO FUCKING WAY!

And here we are, another cheerful Monday, my grandchildren saddled with how much debt before they're born? This is THEFT on a vast scale. We lock up negro crack dealers for life after "three strikes" but rich white CEOs skate away, counting their millions.

What part of NO did you refuse to understand? Fuck the Feds, fuck the banks. They bit off more than they could chew and they ought to take their lumps because of it, NO bailout.

Angry? Oh, I was angry BEFORE this latest debacle rolled down the chute -- I'm several stages beyond angry at this point.

When do our politicians appear before adoring throngs to tell them the good news? Who was that Indian CEO who was killed by angry workers? We could use headlines like that in the USA.

CEOs and Congressional reps versus angry taxpayers. Place your bets.

$700 Billion AT ANY ONE TIME -- hey, keep it flowing, it's an emergency, you can trust us to tell you when we've had enough...

I mean that literally, TAR AND FEATHER the executives who gambled and lost. Too big to fail? Too big to exist, then. Kind of reminds me of the Titanic.

Golden parachute? Sorry, we need to confiscate that for NATIONAL SECURITY reasons. We do, however, have this lovely hot tar and this mountain of feathers right here...

The next time you see Nancy Pelosi or George Bush (Bush the Lesser) on television, visualize them covered with hot tar and chicken feathers, running for their lives pursued by the angriest crowd anyone has ever seen.

Fix that image in your mind.

FAILED to bring US troops home from Iraq?

FAILED to impeach Bush43?

BUT THEY CAN PASS A CORPORATE BAILOUT BILL?!

Would that not GUARANTEE electoral defeat in November?

Which he used to bail out AIG?

One blank check per Treasury Secretary.

Remember than the $700 Billion USD figure was *AT ANY GIVEN TIME* so look upon it as being a first installment. When you tap a vein this rich you want to milk it for a while.

Let it fail. The whole house of cards. Let's start over on level ground without the Federal Reserve or any other form of central bank.

Remember that the "bailout" money is insignificant compared to the real game, the $50 TRILLION shadow banking system which is virtually unregulated.

Up from $1.72 a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't dream of spending money on a latte. The splurge for McD's coffee leaves me with enough guilt.

It's not a question of credit or liquidity but of trust. There's a $51 TRILLION unregulated shadow banking system out there and suddenly no one trusts anyone else -- everyone's probably holding paper that's wildly overvalued if not 100% worthless. When the music stops, who gets to the chairs first?

That's the real game here.

Rebecca is cute. Is she straight? Is she single?

>And let’s not forget the fact that this bill does NOTHING to address the underlying problems with the derivatives market, the failure of ratings agencies, the lax oversight environment over reliance on leverage (debt) etc etc etc. and, by injecting yet more good money after bad will drive up inflation.

Slam and dunk.

> Chinese explorers landed on American shores in 1421.

Pale ink: Two ancient records of Chinese exploration in America

ISBN 1437530818

This book along with the physical evidence of square stone Chinese anchors found between California and Catalina Island make me wonder.

There is always more to the picture than meets the eye.

By Feinstein's own accounting, she received 93K calls and 85K were AGAINST the bailout. That's 93%. So how did she vote?

She obeyed her masters.

Where do I sign up for the revolution? Congress represents no one I know.

More of the same. Would you like the McSame flavor or our dynamic new Osama flavor? They're essentially the same thing.

What was that about $700 billion for dictators and tyrants? Did he deliver that line with a straight face?

So the Senate, our Millionaire's Club, passes a bail out bill to placate overseas holders of our worthless dollars. It doesn't solve anything. The bail out bill doesn't address the root of the problem.

One can only hope that the House will say HELL NO when asked.

Oh, wait... is this a "conspiracy theory"? Then it cannot possibly be worth your time. Sorry.
