A little thrift called WaMu (Washing Mutual) failed today.

The biggest bank failure to date in terms of $$$$.

Yup, let 'em rot. The more money you sink into the Titanic trying to stay afloat, the less you're spending on the life rafts.

And they were ordered sold to J P Morgan.  Check out the history of J P Morgan.  This is suspicious to me.  The history of the Morgans gaining control of the banking sector has not been a pretty one...

From a friend:



I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America

During the 2003 protest march in San Francisco, I saw the most prescient sign ever:

"Drunken fratboy drives country into ditch"

Someone call AAA for a tow.


I think his daddy called AA for a tow, but the vehicle was already too damaged to ever perform well again.

Sounds like the trailers for the new movie "W".
