Mike's Blog Roundup
By Mike Finnigan Thursday Mar 05, 2009 8:00amBrad DeLong: As bad news about the economy gets ever worse, the party of growth, markets and business is opposing every effort by President Barack Obama to shorten the recession and put people back to work.
Harold Meyerson: Who You Calling Socialist?
swimming freestyle: Despite the unAmerican asshats who're openly rooting for Obama's failure, and the incessant attacks and obstructionism of rabid ideologues, most Americans are hoping for the best, crossing their fingers, and praying this new president and his administration are able to pull off some miracles.
dagblog: The House That George Built
POGO Blog: Obama's statement yesterday on reforming government contracting was welcome news. His recommendations go to the heart of the systemic failures of how the federal government currently spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars.
Here's your chance to apologize to Rush Limbaugh!

Today the Late Breaking News on the local ABC morning news was Terrell Owens leaving the Cowboys.
But since I reserved this slot by mistake I may as well stay on thread
and EXPOSE my inner Cowboy feelings about this momentus event.

Damn, with the word cycling in that link I was expecting:

cause I would have thought if you were looking for a Gay Sports anthem and made a mistake chances are you would have hit this.

Actually for years the unofficial gay anthem was:

But then I ain't gay, just not lucky either.
Today's unofficial gay anthem.

They announced they cut him late last night. I still haven't found out the exact reason. I have mixed emotions about it. I can give reasons why they should have kept him and at the same time I can give reasons for them to cut him.
I sent WFAA an email complaining about that "late breaking news" regarding Terrell Owens, saying that should only be used for Amber Alerts, an unannounced but important presidential speech, a tornado on it's way, or an eighteen-wheeler dangling over the overpass, not a millionaire sports player and his team's Botox mutant owner.
I just used more punctuation.
the sports news is that the law requiring the University of Texas to admit students who graduated in the Top 10% of their high school class is going to force UT to suspend its football program. I believe your State Senator is leading the charge to save us from the terrible fate of having a half dozen middle aged white men lose their $600K + salaries as assistant PE professors.
Only the most overrated player, EVER!
He'll end up with the Raiders, like the rest of the asshole NFL players.
He DAMN sure better stay away from my Panthers!
I'm guessing he might end up in Tampa and I would bet on it if they still had Gruden as their coach.
Fired Gruden!
WTH?
The people in Tampa were all for it. The only Super Bowl he won was with Dungey's ex-team. My husband, born in Tampa has been a Buc's fan since day one and he is pleased that Gruden is out of there. Gruden had been considering hiring Michael Vic when he became available. That didn't make the people of Tampa very happy with him, on top of other reasons.
What is a Super Bowl?
I live in Detroit (tee hee)
What is a Super Bowl?
It used to be call The U.S. Economy.
That certainly sheds some light on the situation...
i was wondering why the city let out a collective giggle...
A-Rod has a cyst on his ass.
GOP Chair Michael Steele broke wind after a big meal.
Rush Limbaugh is an ass. (Ok...so that's not breaking news).
a Mighty wind, and
one amazingly large ass.

Ever take a bottle from a serious drunk?
Actually, I've been given one by a homeless guy, he said it looked like I needed it more.
Thanks for that link. I scanned several of their topics and found the site interesting and informative.

Well, certainly not the same POGO I read this morning, but none the less interesting.
AIG people testifying live explaining why they cannot fail and need endless dollars of unspecified amounts.
The market is down 200 points. Citigroup is below $1.
satisfactorily at least, why AIG needs some of my and my kid's money.
In a word, screw-em.
Dude, you should watch this hearing.
What the bailout is doing is to GUARANTEE market share and profitability to AIG, B of A, etc.
The government wants to see these companies post a sick profit in order to keep them from failing. Nothing will be done to prevent "too big to fail" companies from continuing to grow. If you deny them the ability to get bigger, you deny them the ability to recover. That is their logic.
American needs them to be strong...they are the cornerstone of our economy...if they fail...then capitalism will fall...and then...and THEN....waaaait for it...THE TERRORISTS WIN!!!
MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Under State Communism it has been said:
What is mine is mine, what is yours is mine.
Under State Capitalism it has been said:

In the past we have tried smoke outs,gas outs,boycotts on sponsors all without much sucsess.I believe however,if we had a set day for a CABLE OUT perhaps the corporate media will get the picture and stop fighting us with their weapons of false information.
We need to show the corporate media that we do not appreciate the hatered falsehoods and debunked lies they continue spew that make victoms out of millions for their own monetary gain.
We should also demand ALL public servants against healthcare for Americans should GIVE THEIRS AND THEIR FAMILIES GOVT.HEALTHCARE UP!After all, it is wasteful government spending,socialism,communism,according to them!
If the Dems won't get more serious about these issues,we must!
Pick a date...any date...lets do this.
Republicrats!!!!
the market is in a downturn today: dow and nasDaq. one of the reason(s) because communist china is NOT saying much about a STIMULUS package. i find it a little interesting we're counting on communist China stimulus news......the same people/investors complaining about some of the strategies being used as nationalization/socialism to get the u.s. out of this economic crisis.
have lost faith in the Obama administration?
i just think there is some irony on hoping/depending for china to have a economic stimulus. the obama stimulus critics are screaming socialism/nationalism but we're counting on communist CHINA to bail us out.
you wrote: communist China
the correct way to write that is "communist in name only" china
