Barney is such an idiot. Ex post indignation. It's not like the golf tournament was a secret - Mickelson managed to find out about it even before it started last Thursday. And what about the jobs created by this spending? You needed busboys to set out steak knives, roadies to load in Chicago's amps, course marshals at the golf tournament, and David Feherty. That's responsible spending.

The second co-signor of Mumbling Barney's letter represents the Upper East Side in the hallowed halls -- which includes TIF. If NYC loses banks and luxury good stores, what's left for the economy?

NT's menu looks positively New Jersey wedding: salmon and steak, a pasta, and a bunch of mediocre vegetable dishes.
Barney should congratulate them on being frugal.

There's a good chance Rick says a big ole FU to Barney Frank and returns the TARP money...NT made $630M last year, and didn't want to take it in the first place. Hopefully other banks follow and we can all start doing our jobs again.

re John School: Nice to know that a blowjob is considered a "crime against nature" in good ole Charlotte. Also, $1,000?! Seems like there are less nearshore savings in prostitution vs. NYC than there is in banking.

Was Nancy wearing a fertilizer sack? Seriously, she was jsut in Italy, she couldn't buy a current trendy outfit for tonight? She had to wear her "fat dress" cause her week in Italy seems to be showing on her hips.

chit, Bret Baier on Fox just asked David Axelrod "so the nationalization of some banks is not off the table." Now the answer to that was not the answer as conculuded as it was that axelrod gave. He should have said "no we aren't nationalizing banks" but he didn't, he left it open."

Really silly question here, but perhaps the grand wizards could clarify something for me:
Why is it popular to bemoan the plight of homeowners whose equity has declined due to no fault of their own, while no one has a problem saying that C shareholders should get screwed in a nationalization?
Before you answer, the trick here is to distinguish between the two.
Thanks much in advance, bunch.

re tea party NYC, be sure to bring your worthless derivative securities for dumping. C stock certificates are also fine.

Posted by guest , Feb 25, 2009 12:37AM
@36, obviously that's the assumption politicians have made, but I have to wonder if that is the reality. Maybe it's naive to think that pension funds/mutual funds/institutional investors continue to hold C stock, but it should be clear that many "innocent" (read: democrat) investors have or had an equity interest in C (albeit indirectly) that is worth a lot less than they paid for it.

Since it's rarely been above freezing in NYC during January and no golf courses in NY are open, does it really make sense is playing golf in the area? Hey, no need to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

About this 'revolt':
Where was this rightous indignation from CNBC, a majority of those on Wallstreet and those posting here when the bailout was for the banks and borkerage houses?
I recall all sorts of sky is falling, this has to be done yesterday, 'what about the children' type rants....ah the smell of hypocricy in the air. Maybe instead of a tea party it should be a bottle service or Starbucks latte party.

@16 - Yes, he's the big purple dude, and after years of singing "I love you, you love me", he recently left his boyfriend.
