last night, the strangest thing happened. i was dozing off and all of a sudden i heard what sounded like gunshots.

i ducked down and carefully looked out my window, to see fireworks in the sky. they were in the general direction of a park lincoln sometimes rested in from practicing law, a park where the finest statue i've ever seen of lincoln stands.

these fireworks were fired off very systematically, and they nearly ended before i caught the last three. i think there must have been about 13. they were good ones, too, certainly not anything bought here in illinois.

i think it was either 12:39 or 12:34, i can't remember which.

but the point i'm trying to get at is, what kind of crazy motherf&cker is out celebrating the 4th of july on the 29th of september? and why now, since friday's the day the music dies?

for banned items--
the oh so sanctimonious reichwingneocons

likely say he is an illegal immigrant and
deport him to any number of brown countries.

The Nation -- Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich responded appropriately Sunday, when House and Senate leaders announced early a bipartisan agreement for a variation on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's $700 billion (plus-plus-plus) bailout plan Wall Street.

Kucinich wasn't buying into the idea that everyone in Congress would climb on board for the bailout. "If the votes were there, this would be on the floor. The votes aren't there," Kucinich said Sunday.

Clearly, the congressman was not on board.

On the floor of House Sunday, Kucinich declared that:

The $700 billion bailout for Wall Street, is driven by fear not fact. This is too much money in too a short a time going to too few people while too many questions remain unanswered.

Why aren't we having hearings on the plan we have just received? Why aren't we questioning the underlying premise of the need for a bailout with taxpayers' money? Why have we not considered any alternatives other than to give $700 billion to Wall Street? Why aren't we asking Wall Street to clean up its own mess? Why aren't we passing new laws to stop the speculation, which triggered this? Why aren't we putting up new regulatory structures to protect investors? How do we even value the $700 billion in toxic assets?

Why aren't we helping homeowners directly with their debt burden? Why aren't we helping American families faced with bankruptcy. Why aren't we reducing debt for Main Street instead of Wall Street? Isn't it time for fundamental change in our debt based monetary system, so we can free ourselves from the manipulation of the Federal Reserve and the banks? Is this the United States Congress or the board of directors of Goldman Sachs? Wall Street is a place of bears and bulls. It is not smart to force taxpayers to dance with bears or to follow closely behind the bulls.

That Kucinich is spot-on comes as no great surprise.

When he bid for the Democratic presidential nomination this year, he spoke more consistently and more bluntly about the economic crisis than any of the other contenders.

Kucinich was not treated particularly seriously the media or his fellow Democratic candidates.

Now that Kucinich has been proven right, however, Barack Obama might want to pay attention to what the former mayor, state legislator and veteran congressman is saying.

He actually gets it.

For once, the House finally listened to its voters.

YouTube: Kucinich: Bailout 'Driven by Fear Not Fact'

Any living beings who love/care/protect each other are truly the lucky ones to have found one another. Why, for any reason, would any human (the only ones who would question something beautiful that in no way affects them) want to sully that?
I can only wonder how much insecurity or fear (or both) it takes to strike out against that which makes the world something of a beautiful place.
My goodness, they were penguins...no agenda, no need for celebrity attention...good grief, get a bloody grip!!!
It wouldn't be so hair-raising for me if I thought it was only this one silly person, or even a few...but I know, like so many of you, that there are way too many wackos out there...ready to strike, out of their own fear & insecurities.
It's a bloody scary world we live in.

Wall Street crisis spreads through Europe's banks

Governments forced to bail out banks as turmoil widens

The contagion from the Wall Street crisis spread throughout Europe yesterday with the governments of Iceland and Germany stepping in to rescue ailing banks, following the decision in Britain to nationalise Bradford & Bingley and the bail-out of the Belgian bank Fortis late on Sunday.
---
The governments of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg reached agreement on an €11.2bn bail-out of Fortis on Sunday, in the hope of avoiding the scenes Britain witnessed as customers lined up to withdraw savings from Northern Rock.

Fortis is one of the largest retail banks across the three countries. Each government took a 49% stake in the Fortis subsidiaries in its country. ..

Shares in Fortis continued to fall yesterday, down another 23%, despite the bail-out and underlining the fear in the markets. Like many other banks, Fortis has had to take large write-downs on the value of mortgage-backed securities.
---
The government in Reykjavik seized control of Glitnir, one of Iceland's biggest banks, stoking fears that the tiny nation might be facing financial disaster.

The Icelandic government bought a 75% stake in Glitnir for €600m. ..

Iceland's economy expanded rapidly in recent years, making Icelanders among the richest people in Europe, but critics argue that the wealth has been built on too much debt. The country has been likened to a "toxic hedge fund".
...

Notice - these governments are buying part ownerships of the distressed banks.

Paul Krugman (Sunday 09-28): The good, the bad, and the ugly

Brad DeLong says that Swedish-style temporary nationalization is the right answer to a financial crisis; he’s right. I haven’t been clear enough about this, it seems, but it’s where my basic diagnosis leads: the problem is insufficient capital, you want to inject capital, but you don’t want it to be a windfall to existing stockholders — hence, take over and recapitalize the failing firms. By the way, that’s what we did with AIG 10 years days ago.

So that’s the good solution. The Paulson plan, which is some combination of sheer giveaway and mystic faith that a slap in the market’s face will make everything OK, is a bad solution (and probably no solution at all.)

But nationalization doesn’t seem like a politically realistic answer now. This leaves the rough question of whether to hold out for a good solution, which won’t be possible until Jan. 21st, or accept the ugly compromise that the WH and the Congressional Dems, once again, say they’ve reached. It’s a tough call, but as I’ve written, I’ll probably hold my nose and say OK — as long as it has broad Republican support.

If not, go back to the good plan.

Time to (temporarily or partially) Nationalize US Banks.

Panic grips world's markets

The financial fallout [of the failed bailout vote] was swift and brutal. Shares in leading US banks slumped: Bank of America by 16%, Citigroup by 12% and Goldman Sachs by 11%. Oil plunged by $10 a barrel to just over $96 as traders bet on a slump reducing the need for fuel. The dollar fell sharply and the price of gold surged close to record territory.

The banks themselves are losing money.

Nationalization would be to their benefit.

Gramps/Plain joint Couric interview on Gawker
In my opinion, this interview is worse than the previous interview with Couric. Obviously, the woman is not allowed to speak for herself anymore. And McCain comes across is a repulsive and angry asshole.

And from here on, she'll only be interviewed on rightwing talk radio. Wow. if I were debate organizers, I'd setup a bluetooth radio scanner.

What kind of monumental ego does it take to accept the position of VPOTUS with the minimal experience that Sarah Palin posesses? Anyone with a microgram of humility would say "Sorry but I'm just not qualified".

With everything happening in the world today: natural disasters, wars, poverty, and global warming.... religious extremists in America still find the time to try to ban books. Here is a suggestion for anyone who wishes to go banning books, if you don't like a particular book, then don't friggin' read it. I feel sorry for anyone who is so scared of a book that they feel the need to prevent others from reading it.

Perhaps it's because their belief system is structured around a book being the literal, inerrant word of God. Perhaps it's because they've disposed with critical thinking to shoehorn their belief in Biblical Genesis into a world that doesn't correspond with what is a creation myth, rather than God explaining it all. (I mean, come on, if I'm the Supreme Being, and I stop to tell some schlub How I Did It, I'm going to speak of myself in the third person? 'And God did this, and then God did that, and God saw a funny video on YouTube and smiled?')

September 29 is the feast day of Michael, the Archangel, Gabriel, the Archangel and Raphael, the Archangel. I also heard fireworks in Italy but this is nothing unusual here.

Since Archangels are generally considered to be the Guardian Angels, I think somebody in your neighborhood was paying respect to the Angels on their day, perhaps for a favor or protection he may have received. I'd say the person setting of the fireworks was probably a good Catholic, or even a Muslim since Islam also recognizes the Angels.

Thanks for the post - I'll buy this book!

Not that I know much about Jewish custom.. but I don't think fireworks is customary.
But OTOH, we do it for the Gregorian New Year, so why not?

The more I see and hear McCain, the more I despise the man. He might be worse than Bush, if that is even possible.

He is a senile, condescending, vindictive, prick. I saw a speech of his last night where he was extremely sarcastic and disrespectful towards Obama. I hope his actions come back to haunt him. There is no way I would vote for this asshole and his dumbass sidekick.

To think that 45% of the electorate would, is beyond comprehension.

Lately I've just been thinking the USA has gone completely insane, but now I'm 100% sure. Bush/neocons/GOP have fucked the place over pretty good.

Amd people are still blind enough to go Palin/McCain, and your Reps walk out on important legislation (for the world) if their feelings are hurt. Bush grimaces, hides out, and takes NO BLAME at all. Not yet, not one bit-- has he? Yet they call everyone else Satans, corrupting the fabric America. (See topic of thread.)

What does three penguins have to do with the bailout, or am I missing something??

Barack Obama was a 20-year member of a racist church. He listened for 20 years to racist Rev. Wright telling his congregation to hate whitey. Unless they themselves hate whitey, why are they giving Obama a pass on this? All Obama has to do is tell people he never noticed what Rev. Wright was saying, and they believe that? Why do they want a president who was not offended by a pastor spewing racist hate like that? I don't think they have allowed themselves to think about this, don't want to think about the implications of it.

Palin's Stumbles Make for a Debate Advantage - http://www.politicalbull.net/palin_debate_advantage.html
Just as nearly everyone ignores the Democratic VP candidate in the campaign; so nearly all the attention in the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate will be on Republican candidate Sarah Palin. Democrat Joe Biden actually cannot win this debate. The problem is with the expectations. Typically campaigns spend the week leading to a debate downplaying their own candidates chances and praising their opponent's debating skills. It is done to make "achieving victory" easier by lowering the expectation bar for their own candidate. This time Republicans can skip this ritual as the bar set for Sarah Palin is so low it is laying on the ground. This presents a serious problem for Joe Biden.

You know all those calls for Palin to withdraw from the ticket from the right wingnut noise machine...its by design (see above)

Fareed Zakaria to the rescue: Palin Is Ready? Please. McCain says that he always puts country first. In this important case, that is simply not true. - http://www.newsweek.com/id/161204

Palin-Ignorance-is-Bliss Update: Of concern to McCain's campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin's interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing. The Palin aide, after first noting how "infuriating" it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions. After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases. There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.

Yes, homosexuality must be kept behind closed lavatory stall doors between Republican men.

Lulu @ 125:

Barack Obama was a 20-year member of a racist church. He listened for 20 years to racist Rev. Wright telling his congregation to hate whitey. Unless they themselves hate whitey, why are they giving Obama a pass on this? All Obama has to do is tell people he never noticed what Rev. Wright was saying, and they believe that? Why do they want a president who was not offended by a pastor spewing racist hate like that? I don't think they have allowed themselves to think about this, don't want to think about the implications of it.

Lulu, is that your real name, or are you a self hating closeted Republican homosexual racist?

this is about as relevant to the penguins as, well, actually less relevant than video of palin in the middle of a bunch of jesus horse ridin' toungues speakin' witch hunters doin' their ceremony and gettin' all jazzed over their pretend supernatural experience.

only difference is that in the video we see what is there, in your comment, it's just your foolish blather, and it's for the birds, that must be the tie-in.

It's books like this that made my penguin grow up to be gay.

I'm surprised that no one's tried to ban the song Skip To My Loo for homosexual/partisan content.

God, I'm stuck in Orlando for a few days, driving a rental car with no satellite radio. Nothing but Limpballs, Clannity, O'Really, etc. I know I'm going to lose at least ten IQ points by Friday!

Please pray for me...

Chimpboy just give another 15 second speech, begging for his billions.

Got to love hearing the disappointment in his voice and his total irrelevance!!

Fuck off you piece of shit!!

You'll need some therapy when you get back (reading, math exercises, etc).

Republican strategist Todd Harris has two bits of advice for Sarah Palin as she heads into the debate with Joe Biden this Thursday.

The second is to "literally reach through the TV, and grab those working Americans." Yes, you read that right. Sarah Palin should literally grab workers by sticking her arms through their television sets.

I'll be waiting with my pants unzipped...

You wouldn't enjoy it as much as you think you would. I suspect she would talk the whole way through, finishing with a mighty, "Yup!"

Male penguins endure the most extreme harships of any living creature on earth.
