Professor Beard Is Back

By Equity Private

Lecturing Congress like a Monday morning professor, again. Ugh. I think I am detecting a pattern here. A droning, dense lecture that bores the markets into a placid, dumb calm. I used to think him annoying lacking in initiative. I mean, he’s telling them what TARP is again, and what it will do. But, considering it, there are probably 4 or 5 members of the Committee that will ask 15 questions about the TARP plan now, which they have already passed. Clever, clever. I see what you did there, Beard.


I mean seriously, why do we let these clowns conduct hearings during market hours? It saps confidence out of the market like a… nevermind.

    First – these fellas need to be quiet during market hours unless they’re announcing half-priced beer events

    What is going on with the giant bomb timer in front of the Beard ?
    Will he be setting it for some evil countdown to catastrophe ?

    The Beard is asking for a new fiscal stimulus package to be passed pronto. He ran out of ammunition.

    I thought this was a tutoring session. You know, the congressmen need to go over it again before the test?

    Early lobbying. The guy is terrified that any new administration will come in and raise taxes and effectively screw up his well oiled plan. Guess he sees the polls and the preponderance of new dems on the way in.

    If there’s a new package, can it PLEASE include a ban on the use of the term “Golden parachutes”? I mean, seriously, for the good of the country.

    Maybe Silver parachute would be more appropriate anyway.

    This is damn near painful…these people should pay for the right to address the Beard. I’m waiting for one of these former real estate agents or insurance salesmen to ask about the gold they bought off the tv last night.

    I know, that gold commercial on CNBC is really impressive. doesn’t it make you want to run right out and buy a whole bag of those shiny beautiful gold coins. And then you get to rent your own guy to watch you bag of shiny new gold coins.

    Secretary Paulson is on with breaking news. He is certainly raining on Uncle ben’s parade today.
