If You See Something, Say Something





Time - Access to Passport File Gets Easier

The expanded access does not appear to be related to the breaches of the candidates' records. But privacy experts are concerned nonetheless


Hmmm...
The Bush admin relaxed the rules for access to passport files on Jan. 9

Jan. 9 is the same day Obama's files were breached for the "first time."

But, I totally believe the pish-poshing of the idea that these two facts are related and even the suggestion of the possibility of institutional involvement in this piffle makes me laugh. Laugh, i say. Hands on hips, bowl full of jelly-belly shimmying, chin to sky, trumpeting Ha-HAAAA!

You people who see dirty deeds done dirt cheap when you look at perfectly innocent mistakes, gaffes, flubs and bloopers...you people make me shake my head, roll my eyes and guffaw. You silly, silly, vigilant, familiar with history people.

Bear Stearns & the 2 dollar bill



HA, HA, HA!
Wall Street points and laughs at the guys who got caught.
Laugh while you can, boys.

Laugh while you can.

And while you're at it, try to get an office on the highest possible floor to make sure you finish the job when you hurl yourself out the window as the the market fall down, go boom.

What's that you say, Mr. Potter? Bankruptcy is for suckers?





Bear Stearns & the thieving criminals who brought us Sub-Primania!(tm) join forces with the most corrupt administration in the history of the U.S.A. to
save us
Save US
SAVE US!!!!
from panic and depression!


(at least until a Democrat is in office, when what could have been contained when it was nothing more than a nasty case of financial flu mysteriously becomes economic EBOLA and the world watches as we bleed out and die on the emergency room floor.)




NYT article from Gretchen Morgenson today:
RESCUE ME: A FED BAILOUT CROSSES A LINE



one of my favorite bits (from page 2):
"Investors, already mistrusting many corporate and government leaders, were once again assured that nothing was wrong — right up until the very end. So is it any wonder investors react to every market rumor of an impending failure with the certainty that it’s true? In too many cases, the rumors turned out to be true, notwithstanding the attempts at reassurance by executives and policy makers.

Only last Monday, for example, Bear put out a press release saying, “there is absolutely no truth to the rumors of liquidity problems that circulated today in the market.” The next day, Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said he was comfortable that the major Wall Street firms were resting on satisfactory “capital cushions.”

Three days later, it was bailout time for Bear."


My, grandmother Fed, what big eyes you have!
The better to see us through this slight downturn with, my dear.

My, grandmother Fed, what large pockets you have, and how full they are!
It's candy, I tell ya. The better to reward you with, my dear.

What a set of chompers you got on you, granny.
Those ain't teeth, you dummy; they're pillows. Put your head on 'em and you'll get the best night's sleep you'll ever have. You like sleep, don't ya kid?
