Re: Let's talk Economy

I love Jon Steward's approach to all that spin in the news. This one is a already a classic:

Many people here at the hospital have pulled their money out of WaMu bank. Not quite sure were they are going to put it? Maybe bury it in the backyard? Might just as well do that, since the banks hardly pay any interest and the government takes what little there is as income tax. An Asian friend of mine recommends buying real gold jewelry.

Re: Let's talk Economy

Have you been to hulu.com? They keep 2 weeks of most tv.

I love the clusterf**k to the poorhouse that Jon starts the show with.

Re: Let's talk Economy

I have to put you on restriction, Dave. I just don't want to open another tab for you until you post a quote from the site you are pointing to -- you are cluttering my FireFox session with saliva-spewing right-wing (how do you guys fly - all your planes have 2 right wings) web-sites you send me to.

That was a pretty interesting article then I tried to read the 'blowback' and yewww, so vitriolic

Economy professors in US institutions must all be on some sort of Wall Street contract that forces them to brown-nose with full power. Well, you know the rich eat better.

Re: Let's talk Economy

I did not know that the Fed had fan-fic
Quote ...
Bernanke, trying not to slip in the patches of blood on the floor, struggled with Greenspan. The older man moved like a snake that moved like a former Fed Chairman who moved like a ninja. At last, Bernanke got a solid grip on Greenspan’s collar and hurled him through the fourth wall, knocking you to the ground.

Improvising a tourniquet from the remains of the snake left over from the earlier simile, Bernanke moved on through the hallways.
