Tim “The Safecracker” Geithner is going to be demonstrating his deft touch for opening vaults this morning and we will take you there via liveblog.
As being well-prepared will help attenuate the degree to which you are blinded and blind-sided by bullshit rhetoric, you might be interested in reviewing this viewing guide from Baseline Scenario via Alea.

That Vermont Teddy Bear commercial is the one thing on CNBC that annoys me more than Maria’s screech. Thank God we only need to endure this for two weeks.
Could that be any more directed to the B&T? Is it a local commercial? Can they just play it on Long Island?
Looks more like he is twisting my balls.
I can’t wait to see this Faber/Greenspan interview on CNBC.
Will the man admit he had no idea what was happening in the economy?
Will he continue to claim he couldn’t do anything about the bubble?
Will he admit reducing rates to zero during a credit bubble was a mistake?
Or will it just become painfully clear to all that he was in over his head and suffering from early dementia his final years in office?
If I hear the word bubble today I am going to slap someone
@2 – Completely agree
“see what you do is you force the firms to take the government funds and then you give ‘em a chance to use it, and that’s when you’ve got them by the balls. At that point it’s really just a matter of squeezing and twisting…i equate it to fishing with a rusty hook and extra barbs”
“And then Congressman Frank grabbed my ass like so….”
Nah. Live it looks like safecracking. Lots of twisting.
As long as it’s not a clawback…….
That is the scariest looking tribe member I have ever seen. Get away from me, that is my sack of gold!
“Access to government resources is a privilege not a right and comes with tough new conditions and responsibilities.”
I sure hope someone remembers this quote when the administration nationalizes our health care system.
