So...Twice this year bailouts have been voted on and fail in Congrees but they both still get passed eventually anyway.

Still feel like you live in a Democracy?

I think not...They do what they want...When they want...

Did Tyrone follow his own advice? If so, can I have a ride on his yacht?

If only I had followed this advice. Wait, I didn't have any money, never mind.

Too late Bubbas. The market is set for a mind-blowing year end rally. We will shoot past 12K on the Dow and anyone short at this point is either an idiot or likes playing the fool.

You can get short next year around February. That is when reality will set in. A new currency is coming in June of '09 and you might want to hide in the bunker after that.

It's funny how all of the left's heroes are finally realizing that all the Obama-mania was a giant fraud.

Here's John Pilger exposing the fraud that is Obama:

Beware of Obama's Groundhog Day by John Pilger

So when will Keith admit that his hero is just a giant fraud representing the status quo??

Will he ever admit it?

Let's not forget. Keith was comparing Obama to Martin Luther King Jr.

Bwahahahahaha!!

You just gotta love how more of these liar/cheater/stealers are getting flushed out into the open. Bernie "Made-off with your money" Madoff literally ran a modern day Ponzi scheme for DECADES. Keith, I don't think the US has reached the soot/ashes phase yet, it's still in the burn phase. Sigh. Like many of your well informed readers, we are trying to avoid getting burned or choking from the smoke.

People are comparing this economic chaos to prior recessions or even the 1929 depression. While there is academic curiosity to do so, the magnitude of the differences dwarf the comparisons and hence it seems silly to compare. Our world wide economy is light years different from 1929 or even the 70's or 80's. And sadly the calamity of financial sector implosion is orders of magnitude more dire. Hence, the convergence of these massive negative factors are impossible to make any comparisons to. The list is so lengthy and they have been described by so many it is redundant to do so in this brief post.

In the next 12-36 months there will be a distinct shift in pundits' and economists' writings where the emphasis will be to point out (after the fact) the contrasts of this economic tsunami to anything we have previously experienced. And by that time the real affects of this megawave will start to show it's catastrophic destruction on the world wide economic system.
