@ Merkin

Just checked the Banking Committee's website. That retard congresswoman is no longer part of the Committee. HA!

Can't imagine why...

A while back I think I remember her saying something like, "I've got constituants with no jobs, living with their mamas. What are you (Ben) going to do about it?"

Bernanke - "I don't think a check will help."

Her lack of knowledge speaks volumes.

Carney has a good point. In this current market it probably wouldn't be advisable to go private. That said, give the markets a year or two to weather the storm and "rumor mongers" to simma down....then go private.

The arguement of these 'social injustices' is so overdone. It hasn't worked for the Commies, Jesse Jackson or anyone else who uses the arguement to further their poliical careers.

At the most basic level, money controls the world hippies. Class dismissed.

Dear Market,

I know the last few months have been tough due to the failure of market instruments that we invented to boost our balance sheets. But NOW we have this great new product that's doubly insured against failure. If you thought CDOs we good, do we have a surprise for you! Covered bonds are the sh!t! Everybody's got them. Christ, I bet your grandmother already has a few. Get in now broheem!

I think I remember reading something about a "moral hazard" somewhere.

Eh, I guess it was nothing. Carry on...

For those of you who are a fan of my movie I suggest you also purchase Whitney's Houston's newest album, Crack Pipe Monologue. It's an emotional collection of soothing melodies and inspirational lyrics that reminds us that while we all may have a rough exterior, being emotional is still human.

If you'll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes...

What do you think the percentage of DB readers are now unemployed?

I'm sure most of us are still working, but just curious.
