Another Tragicomedy
If I didn’t know better this looks like Humbert Humbert and Dolores Haze thirty years later.
Why It’s Not Over, Part II
OK, this is just funny and we need a breather, but no one with any management skills at all tries to quell a real crisis this way. More seriously, if I were a Nobel Prize winning economist this is what I would have to say about the Paulson business. As they say, read the whole […]
Strange Bedfellows
Well, this whole bailout failure, and the resultant market collapse, has produced a number of strange bedfellows. Nancy Pelosi and George W. Bush. Dennis Kucinich and Newt Gingrich. John McCain and Barack Obama. Hard left progressives and hard right conservatives. Mike Castle and ….gasp…. me. Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., broke ranks with the majority of […]
New Republican Leader, Eric Cantor, Is a Wussie
Cantor, who has rested control of the GOP from George Bush, John McCain and John Boner, would have had the house GOP members vote for the bail out, but they got mad at Nancy Pelosi.
There is an upside….
….to today’s market collapse, a loss estimated to be $1.2 trillion dollars, in that Charlie Copeland’s trust fund now has that much less to tap in his run against Matt Denn.
Castle Voted Yes.
Roll Call on the vote is here (warning PDF). Congress is in recess until Thursday, in observance of the Jewish High Holidays. So no vote will take place until then, at the earliest. Now, will the Compromise Bill that failed today be voted on again? Perhaps, considering the fact that, according to Republican congressional leaders […]
Deep Thought: RIP Republican Economics
Can we please go back to the progressive economics that began under FDR and created the 50 year long economic expansion, not to mention the middle class as we know it? It seems to me that a bail out bill that puts back in a truly progressive tax income tax code (bye bye loop holes […]
22nd District Update From Rebecca
I thought I’d pass this along. Hey Jason, So far I’ve received $1,250 dollars from DelawareLiberal bloggers! What an amazing group of people. How lucky I am to be a part of that community. Thank you so very much, this will go a long way toward paying for my newspaper ads. FYI, my opponent has […]
UPDATED: Kavips is taking dumbass pills or something
Some people are so used to blaming everything on Democrats that they just can’t not blame Democrats. The fact of the matter is this bill sucked. It basically turned Paulson into the economic King of America, just like the first version. Only it did it on an installment plan and pretended to protect taxpeyers. But […]
Denn: “(Copeland) the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier”
Matt Denn, who during his time as Insurance Commissioner had a front row seat to all of Copeland’s anti-consumer/pro-insurance industry votes in Senate, hit back at Charles Lamot Dupont Copeland’s smears today and did not pull any punches, calling Copeland “the insurance industry’s chief water-carrier in Dover” for voting against consumer protects and in line […]
Strap In
The bailout package has failed. The Dow is currently down 525… Enjoy the ride. Update: It occurs to me that this could be a case of crying wolf! Several times in the past 7 years, we have been faced with ultimata from the Bush administration. “You must pass this, or else” has gotten us killed […]
