John Mica has the most extraordinary rug this side of James Trafficante on his head. That thing is beautiful, man.

Ames doesn’t need fan boys. He needs CRITICS! Even PBS is ridiculing the Dems for their lackluster performance. Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me: “It will be great when the Democrats have the White House, Senate and House. Then we’ll really be able to accomplish something.” The shit is sliding faster than we know. Shit, the Supreme Court just gave the Corps the ENTIRE electoral process! A significant reduction in pretension! Our duty now is to keep our few leftist heroes sane, not coddle them with compliments!

Everything, and I mean everything is going the plutocrats way. Why would they change a damn thing?

“There is an idea of a Tim Geithner; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable… I simply am not there”

Tim Geithner really reminds of Patrick Bateman. i fear he has an apartment somewhere filled with the dead bodies of prostitutes that he mutilates and eats

Aliens. Giethner = Bishop the android; sent along with the crew courtesy of Weyland Industries to ensure a smooth mission. He gets ripped in half by the Alien queen in the end though, boo hoo.

I would guess that the private Central Banks act as “Weyland Industries” and the Federal Government are the “Aliens.” We are the ignorant space marines that die fighting the Aliens for the profit of Weyland Industries! Hey at least a couple of them survive at the end of each movie right?!

I’m going to go spend some Zim Dollars to try and forget about this horror. As long as I don’t pick up the Alien Quadrilogy I think I’ll be alright this weekend.

Hey Mark, whenever you write on Rubin, Summers, Greenspan, Bernanke, Emanuel, and all the other usual Fed Reserve/Goldman-Sachs suspects (and their gentile “FRONT MEN” like Hank Paulson, Timmy Giethner, “Heckuva Job Bushie” & Dastardly Dick, and now Ba-rack Obama), can you include the LINKS to your earlier, excellent articles… especially the one from Nov. _2008_ where you __predicted__ this self-destruction Economic Nightmare of the U.S. economy? Thanks for dat…

And, no, I ain’t being “anti-semitic”… I have in past donated to, and supported, genuinely “progressive” Congressmen such as Robert Wexler and now Congressman Grayson.
But it wouldn’t have been “anti-German” to have pointed out, in the 1930s, that all Germans – good and bad – were under the heel of the you-know-who party, just as today, America is under the heel of the Rubin-Summers-Bernanke-Greenspan Goldman Sachs Financial Terrorists.

“SEC mulled national security status for AIG details

“NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. securities regulators originally treated the New York Federal Reserve’s bid to keep secret many of the details of the American International Group bailout like a request to protect matters of national security, according to emails obtained by Reuters.”

Heh. The Fed is already as secretive as spookville. Then SEC and Fed wanted to add a spook layer to that.

It’s impossible to distinguish between The Company and US Fed Wall Street ZLC (zero liability corporation.)

this outraged diatribe seemed genuine or at least properly faked: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/01/27/ma_dem_chews_out_geithner_stinks_to_high_heaven.html

Just watch Geithner’s face contort darkly as he gets insulted by the upstart congressman. It’s even more hilarious than the whiny “you don’t know me at all!” in the video you describe.

Anyway this article is beautiful, thanks

Why would these people want to “rock the boat,” as they say? Their JOBS depend on having rich individuals and corporations support them. Get that? Jobs?

Dead government walking!

What’s it called when the US has a bond sale, and the bonds won’t sell?

There’s an econ phrase for it…

some kinda “moment”

or something like that

I’ll look it up quick and get back to you

anyhow, that’s where the rubber meets the road for this funhouse mirrored economy

The “Minsky Moment”

Look it up

It a comin’

and it leaves the political show in DC looking like the band on the Titanic
