Or, as M’Chelle might say, “let them eat zucchini bread.”
Ha! Worst since the 2008 crash! Or as I like to call it, “The day the market found out that it was a choice between global warming idiot McCain and Communist idiot Obama.”
This crash is like the intermission of the worst fucking horror film ever conceived. When the market finds out that Obama is gone, it will respond.
It’s all the fault of the Tea-Party Terrorists, you know. If they hadn’t delayed the increase in the debt ceiling, and forced all those draconian cuts, the economy would be just fine.
No, alp. The TEA Party’s hostage taking of the American people, leading to draconian cuts, caused this.
If we’d just let Obama spend, all would be well. There’ve been studies. Science!
Whoever’s fault this is, one thing is clear. It’s not Obama’s, because as Corky Wasserman-Shlultz says, “the economy is clearly turning around”.
oops. Cranky beat me to it.
Crazed-ass echochamber!
I stand corrected. But I’ll keep beating my drum anyway.
Obama’s an idiot.
Which reminds me, alp.
Q: What’s Joe Biden’s Secret Service codename?
A: “No, the other idiot”

Happy Birthday Mr. President.

I think i would probably love B-B-B-Ben and Jerry’s Food Stamp Paste ice cream.
I will be looking for it.

YES WE CAN watch Dev’s new video
Top Drudge headlines:
Heh.
I think Dev looks way better when she’s hot.
Listening to Hannity right now, and this black conservative woman, Star Parker, is beating up a liberal commentator, Tamara Holder, on the subject of birth control. What’s wonderful about it is Parker’s put this white liberal on the defensive, forcing her to defend the charge that she’s a racist who supports policies aimed at Black genocide in the inner cities. And the po’ white liberal is really not enjoying it.
Reversing the narrative, indeed.
Star Parker rox.
She’s written books about the liberal plantation and everystuff.
Speaking of putting proggs back on their heels, where’s Liz Cheney been?
Heard that too. Tellin’ the white lib how she’s braggin’ about going into the inner city and convincing them they’re animals.
Bullseye.
The market apparently is a jihadi/hezbollah/taliban/terrorist too, because this drop is the market’s way of saying what those fucking uncompromising extremist hostage takers were saying last week. The governing class is knaves and fools. They have squandered our magnificence, and indentured our children, and the fact is that at the last possible time this ship of state might be nudged from a headlong dash to destitution, our leaders chose peace in my day.
I don’t know for certain but I thought Liz Cheney was helping her dad write his book? So, busy for the last few months maybe?
QE 3 baby!
We’re gonna need a higher debt ceiling.
A higher ceiling means a deeper basement.
Maybe we should start calling it a play-pit?
What’s sorta funny is that inflation is staying Bernanke’s hand at the moment. As their target is around 2% and they’ve actually been forced to say they’d raise rates if necessary, it’s hard to square that circle and go ahead with QE3.
July’s numbers come out Aug 18th and I’d be really surprised if they fell over 40%.

This last time this happened like this, Jimmy Carter was president.
Obama and his EPA had better get right on shutting that natural gas thing down. I’m sure they’re breaking some regulation. How could they not?
Has anyone waded in to see what hilarity MSNBC has conjured up to account for the marketfall without implicating our Savior, EmpLamDukO?
JD, I’m looking at you man.
yeah that’s a new look for her not sure what’s up with that
Cranky, your #28 is bitterly funny….I could almost see someone posting that on Kos or Puffington Host, etc..
We have more than one color. Spending cuts, tax rate cuts, regulation eliminations, Department eliminations. You can have any color you wish as long as it is “less”.
Then we have a call for a new improved tougher Obama.
Go for it dude, YES WE CAN!
Okay, you gotta click this link. It’s honey badger guy ripping on the Washington spenders.

I think it’s against the law to throw rotten tomatoes at the Presidential Bus. Or rotten fruit of any kind really. It would be a shame if anyone thought otherwise.
Fear and Loathing on the Back Nine
Heh, I’ve never seen that sketch before, guins. Cheers.
newrouter,
I am on the verge of moving to Pennsylvania, because they are (dare I say it?) FRACKING there.
Unemployment? About 3% (I know that’s backwards, but this is the new millenium).
Money up the ying-yang? You bet!
A thousand dollars a week for driving a WATER TRUCK? (they call it swimming pool water here, and it is very seasonal and worth NOTHING near that).
Tough decision, but I can also make money playing music five nights a week. Money is oozing out of people’s ears in this part of Pennsylvania (Hint: Little League World Series).
My girlfriend is not up to it, because after SEVEN years at Walgreen’s, they pay her $10.31/hr. She should OWN that store.
Shoveling horseshit for three hours a day will give me a free home, and, where I am now I shovel a different kind of horseshit horseshit 8 hours a day to almost pay my rent.
Tough decision, but I am leaning that way.
There ARE still places of opportunity, but Cass Sunstein and Obama are hunting them down, as I speak.
Who knows? Maybe my ISP will be changing for the better very soon…
That’s Mike Mussina’s neck of the Pa. woods TLD, and if I remember right he studied the oil-rock business at Stanford . . . wonder if he’s gone to work in the gas discovery side?

Wonder if this will format properly below:
It’s the one thing actually getting cheaper.
Nope, didn’t format.
We’ve seen energy companies expend huge dollar on green p.r. and advertizing bullshit for the last what, 10 yrs or more? Wonder what the release of that waste of money put back to productive work will do to their bottom lines as the delusion of global warming wears off the ignorant populace?
I’ve attempted to run thumbnail variations on that, including just saying “Go for it!”/deregulation to the whole energy sector and it would be almost impossible to factor for all sorts of good reasons.
Make it cheaper (far cheaper) to make machines work and there’s no telling where that ends. Positive feedback loops and chickens in every pot, most likely.
Come 2012, I hope the non-Obama candidate talks up the deregulation of everything as the “free stimulus”/”take our foot off the brake” it really is.
‘Cause, we could use some fucking growth if we’re to recover from these last few years of imbecilic destruction.

In a way it’s almost — not really at all, but almost — comforting to know how little the old hands respect the juvenile delinquent in the White House. He’s a punk and they all know it.
I blame Al Gore bh. And all because he decided to “get even”. That bastard ought to be put out of the country’s misery.
what i find amusing is that the faa is on hold and the general population didn’t notice it. there’s a smaller fed gov’t video there.

Sdferr – my apologies. I cannot bring myself to watch that bibble babble tonight. Not when Burn Notice and Suits are on.
Won’t hold it against you at all JD, ‘specially in light of the fact that I can’t even bring myself to select that channel, let alone sit still to watch it. Anyhow, if they come up with any side-busters we’ll hear about it from somewhere.
I’m saving up the Burn Notice episodes for a mini marathon at some later date. When I watch, I always want to see more.
Sdferr – how does Sec Trans have powers that exceed the legislature? Never mind.
“how does Sec Trans have powers that exceed the legislature?”
no faa no authority. embrace your inner teaorists: burn baby burn.
How dim-witted do you have to be to say that with a straight face?
This is where it’s always tricky, B. Moe. Is she dim-witted or is she trying to lie to the dim-witted composing their base?
Both?
burn the progg gov’t thingy i mean. otherwise tasty cakes for the masses

sdferr,
All I know is that you just need one gas lease to live, and if it “comes in”, you da man, fo’evah!
As Chicken Man said: “They’re everywhere! They’re everywhere!”
And it is a most beautiful part of this country. The Shenandoah and surrounding mountains are absolutely cosmic.
But as I said, Cass Sunstein and Obama are probably stalking these “rebels” right now. How dare they create jobs and wealth in the middle of Obama’s planned depression and open opposition to creating our OWN energy? It might fuck up the O!’s plans to destroy American world power forever!
“Don’t touch MY OBAMA American oil, you selfish bastards! you might kill a cricket!”
Why should we drill for our own energy, when Soros can do it in Brazil with OUR three billion dollars? Good enough for thee, but not good enough for me.
Zombieland. That is where we live until this jug earred little bitch goes away for good. I hope he was sent here to teach us a lesson, but I am unsure as to whether the bible is right (I am not a thumper, but I have read it).
Obama is SUCH a clueless, totally immoral asshat.
What scares me silly, is to know, regardless of my own shortcomings, that I am smarter than this empty-headed blink, and have more experience in the real world than he could EVER imagine (even if much of it was drug fueled).
Enough.
The word “Obama” has already been picked up by the Crays, so I will just say: “I love this President!Best ever! NOTHING IS HIS FAULT! GEORGE BUSH, YOU STUPID PRICK! DON’T EVER LOWER TAXES! RAISE THEM, SO EVERYONE CAN GO OUT OF BUSINESS, OR SEND THE WORK TO CHINA!”
Whew! Didn’t I start somewhere in Pennsylvania?
The Nikkei is in the toilet. If those employment numbers are soft tomorrow, we’re gonna have another fun day.
On the plus side, I found a really cute girl doing a cover of “Collie Man”.
Taranto on the AlGore and other morons.
That’s an odd piece for Taranto, really.
Something there that I’d probably just flail around wildly for rather than find but I think… he’d like to say something like motherfucker or asshole.
But, he can’t. So he just went half-Shecky G. and half-withering sarcasm.
Albeit with linkage to Berkowitz’s calm autopsy of the corpse of Progressivism on the side.
Is it just me, or did anyone else notice that you can easily derive “Alinsky” from that and chuckle about it?
” When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn’t say ‘change we can believe in tomorrow.’ ”
Well, you did, champ.
I will give you that you didn’t say Change would be better. Anyway, keep stalling, as if things will turn any day now.

When he said “Change we can believe in,” I heard, “…boy!”
Not really. What I heard was, “…because you’ll never see it, so believing in it is all you’ve got.”
Si se puede, bitches.
