Again, this is from last year. It seems pretty presidential, eh? Maybe bernanke and paulson – bush appointees – can’t read like their boss.
Seriously, what the fck is this assbag mccain talking about? He has OFFICIALLY lost his mind.
Even though this link states there were no major spills during hurricane Ike (3 oil platforms are missing), I wonder what a minor spill is? Or, I wonder how environmentally friendly 3 chunks of metal are on the ocean floor?
The following is an article regarding the 595 oil spills that occurred during hurricanes Katrina and Rita…

Seems pretty safe.
While I had no clue, I’m not running for president…

“During an interview in Miami earlier this week with Spanish-language station Union Radio, a reporter asked McCain whether, if elected, he would receive Zapatero in the White House. McCain answered, “Honestly, I have to analyze our relationships, situations, and priorities, but I can assure you that I will establish closer relationships with our friends, and I will stand up to those who want to harm the United States.”
Ouch. The question about Zapatero, clearly framed by the reporter as a question about Spain, came after inquiries on Venezuela, Bolivia, and Cuba. As a result, much of the Spanish press has decided that the Republican candidate, who hails himself as the experienced foreign policy choice in this election, confused Spain – a NATO member and key ally in the fight against terrorism – with one of those troublesome Latin American states. That was certainly the interviewer’s impression, for she followed up with a gentle reminder that Spain was a country in Europe.”
The jagbag of the year award goes to josh howard…
Piece of shiat.

J fcking C – possible government communications over yahoo. palin, are you serious?
As you will notice, a majority of her contacts use yahoo mail. Who uses yahoo email anymore? I guess people in Alaska are stuck in the 90s.
If the link above is timed out due to traffic – as it was for me several times – a screenshot of wikileaks entry can be seen here.
I wonder what dirt they’ll eventually uncover though I assume she’s not THAT stupid, right? October surprise anyone?
P.S. Mom, if the image looks small after accessing the “here” link above, left click on it once.
Update: BREAKING as of 9/17 at 4:00 pm CDT – If you want to give bristol palin a call, here’s her cellphone number – (907) 982-9061. Well, that’s her number for the time being. Confused? Check out the inbox for the picture message with the subject of “LOOK AT TRIG!!!!!”
As posted on BccList.com here a few months back, this clip from AUGUST 2007 is worth revisiting again. And, again. And, eventually again.
Not interested in trading? Don’t get caught up in the jargon – seconds 30-57 will make sense. Pretty amazing call, eh?
The Fed’s decision regarding the interest rate should be announced in 15 minutes – around 2:15 pm EDT. If the Fed decides to cut the rate – because inflation easing over 2 months is “good enough” after the last 12 months of it climbing out of control – there should be riots. I’m not joking.
As originally seen on BccList.com here, the only thing a rate cut does is screw the American consumer. If the rate does get cut, get ready to pay $4.50+ a gallon of gas as inflation increases significantly and the value of the dollar tanks.
Update: NO CHANGE – There is a God!!!! Oil should continue to trade lower than $92 (price as of 9/16) a barrel. Short oil futures and big oil stocks as originally seen on BccList.com here.
It’s amazing that the mccain camp thinks they can get away with this crap. After 2000 and 2004, we’re not collectively as stupid of a country as we used to be.

Wow, it all makes sense now!
“You are shopping in a busy supermarket and you’re ready to pay up and go home. You perform a quick visual sweep of the checkout options and immediately start ramming your cart through traffic toward an appealingly unpeopled line halfway across the store. As you wait in line and start reading nutrition labels, you can’t help but calculate that the 529 calories contained in a single slice of your Key lime cheesecake amounts to one-fourth of your recommended daily caloric allowance and will take you 90 minutes on the elliptical to burn off and you’d better just stick the thing behind this stack of Soap Opera Digests and hope a clerk finds it before it melts.
One shopping spree, two distinct number systems in play. Whenever we choose a shorter grocery line over a longer one, or a bustling restaurant over an unpopular one, we rally our approximate number system, an ancient and intuitive sense that we are born with and that we share with many other animals.”
The video below is not another doom and gloom “Lehman Brothers failing” video. Rather, it’s live TV at its best. Give it about 5 seconds…
Burchie, thank you.
Unlike what I have been pleading for over the past 6 months, the rumor is that the Fed will meet tomorrow (9/16) and possibly slash the rate.
What’s this mean if the rate gets slashed 25 or 50 basis points? The dollar will tank, oil will trade well above $120 a barrel, and inflation will skyrocket once again after easing over the last few months.
This proposed cut could end up being the worst thing the bush administration (they “hired” bernanke) has done to date. Yes, even worse than the Iraq war. Holy shiat!
This article hinting at an interest rate slash is from 9/11/08:

“At the same time, oil prices have fallen sharply from their record highs and the dollar has rebounded against the euro. Thus, some think the threat of inflation is receding.”
So, let me get this right – Inflation gradually moved to an unbearable level over 12+ months. Because the Fed hinted at a rate increase in mid July, oil has fallen over the past month or two as inflation eased. 12+ months of inflation growth vs. 2 months of inflation ease = inflation is no longer an issue so let’s slash the rate. Wow.
This article hinting at an interest rate slash is from today:

Seeing that john mccain admittedly doesn’t understand the economy, I wonder how sarah palin would handle this mess? That’s right, probably about as well as dubya. Will there be another “Where were you?” moment this week? It’s been almost exactly 7 years and the same administration since the last one.
Yeah, this was 3 months (not 3 years) ago…
P.S. I can’t wait to hear the political spin on this category 5 financial hurricane!
Update: Holy shiat – mccain said the fundamentals of our economy are strong as recently has 4 hours ago. I guess he truly doesn’t understand the economy.
