Unfuckingbelievable. It seems a blatantly DUMB move. All some supposed challenger, from Bachmann to Huntsman, to Perry to Romney to Ron Paul to Cain to whomever has to do is stand there and ask the 2010 cycle Sheryl Angle question of Reid:
Can’t he “man-up”? (Where’s the beef?)
Outta gas, out of steam and out of time. Out of office…
From ABC’s The Blotter:
After spending months touting the Obama administration’s decision to loan $535 million to the California solar energy upstart Solyndra, top officials took a new tack Wednesday while testifying before Congress about the company’s abrupt shut-down and bankruptcy:
the loan, they said, was actually the Bush administration’s idea.
The Energy Department’s top lending officer told Congress that the Solyndra loan application was not only filed during President Bush’s term, but it surged towards completion before Obama took office in January 2009.
“By the time the Obama administration took office in late January 2009, the loan programs’ staff had already established a goal of, and timeline for, issuing the company a conditional loan guarantee commitment in March 2009,” said Jonathan Silver, who heads the Energy loan program.
Republicans pushed back hard against this version of events, unearthing internal Energy Department emails that indicate the panel evaluating the loans had made the unanimous decision to shelve Solyndra’s application two weeks before Obama took office.
Blaming the failed loan on the Bush administration marked an abrupt turn for the Energy Department, which had championed the Solyndra loan as a model for its efforts to build a so-called “green energy” industry that creates jobs and safeguards the environment. The Solyndra loan was so central to this strategy that the administration initially planned to have Obama personally announce it, and later sent the president to the company’s solar panel manufacturing facility in Fremont, California to celebrate its work. . . . . .
Out.

BREAKING PENNSYLVANIA
The GOP’s Plot To Take Down Obama
So they link to MotherJones, all aflutter about GOP plans in PA to allocate Electoral College votes proportional to Congressional Districts.
Yeh well,l at this point, FUCK AL GORE –
A joke on so many levels.
As if it matters, notions of fair play, reform, or actual representation with the EC….ETC….. If anything, I’d say the Obsters should be fucking grateful, they might, might be able take carry Chaka Fattah’s district in North Philly. Snicker. Maybe.
Having no shame, I’ll call it now: Obby loses PA 55-45.
Hardly a stretch.
Could you imagine, tho – if this motherfucker loses California or a couple big Northeast bastardions of the Democratic Party?

To Save Euro, Turn Banks Into Mutual Funds: Laurence Kotlikoff
Fuck, turn ‘em into a floating crap game for all I care…
I think France will nationalise their big banks…
Inevitable it think I guess where I’m going
just below is why the wagon circling is going to prop our thug state up of all thug states, I don’t know…
A difficult BFM kind of a situation.
Eurozone leaders reassure Greece
Lot’s of confort food available!
Massive default is best way to fix the economy
And I would heartily recommend the latter piece, it’s HERE, as is bagging the dollar-turd…I’d rec the latter piece if it wasn’t disingenuously sold as some kind of U.S. retail banking customer’s relief, if the purported reset to ensue wouldn’t involve the same bankster cherry-pick-pillaging consumers on the brink, if the default bandwagon wasn’t conjured up to let Commerical Bankster Bigs fuck the Lessers everywhere out of their CDS contract obligations when and whereever they will.
Oh there is sSUCH overwhelming SHITE about the EU, “responsible” UK, FR, DE this , profligate Greece and the lesser EU’s that… the whole game , regardless of how it’s framed in the American-teat financial press, is meant to keep U.S. of fuckin A from , poetically enough, our OWN Bankstageddon: Llike lights going out on ATM machines across the country when Mickey D’s and Gigundo Chain stores miss payrolls. Like riots with a trillion dollars in damage against commercial real estate and major retailers where goods are there for the taking.
Oh I THINK it Doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about “default” now.
Send in the Clowns, Don’t Bother……….. etc.
Epic realignment at this point.
oh yes the framing on this side of/about Europe is highly prejudicial… we always have to paint them as the profligate idiot Yurpeeans who know nothing about the Real World, and we, naturally!, know everything about the Real World as we built it in 6 days…
RFLMAO … is he seriously thinking their captive regulators will EVER do that?

The Perry campaign is making some very interesting moves; beyond all the “tough talk” on librul ideas destroying ‘merikkka he stood up for educating the children of “llegals” in the debates and has come out against the border fence…a naked play for the hispanic demographic the rethugs are supposedly so at odds with?
I’m not looking forward to Pretzl Perry, but then I wouldn’t be looking forward to a second term for the Oobsters either. Basically the smoking orangutan in Kuala Lampur getting the nom would be a better situation than any of the possible outcomes we currently face
I am sorry that Otto the predictive Octopus died. I’d vote for him. My next nom is Yvonne the runaway cow that escaped her voyage to the sluaghter house.
They both have better instincts.
Well, either Perry, who I feel plays a mixed game! or Romney is making some interesting deals. I sense a move to dump Slobster brewing. I mean a dumping by the Big Guys. Immelt, Mickey Mouse, the Green Aussie Lizard who Does Commercials, you know, that set.
I’m gonna vote Peace and Freedom again next year. Don’t know who they’re running and don’t care about their platform. I just find voting for the party ironic.
I’ve written in Donald Duck since Kerry “ran”…Mickey seems a little too elitist for me…the Duck is the kind of guy I could have a beer with and since Disney is one of the votes thqt actually count throwing mine behind one of their company men might gain me some entry into the putative Duck whitehouse…

UBS rogue trader accused of $2B loss

UBS Blames $2 Billion Loss on Rogue Trader
Rogue Trader. Rogue Trader.
Roger. Roguetrader, that is, the fellows name coincidentally enough.
LOL. ANYWAYS – that roguetrading time again.
Where, amidst Systemic Fraud , Theft, Embezzlement , Old lady purse snatching , Candy-from-Baby beating and otherwise unwelcome forms of “client focused” rumbuggerry, we got a “rogue” trader poppin up. Yep, just sorta popped up there at UBS with the whole rogue-y runnin amok thing . GMAFB.
Gad knows whats going on at derivative desks…
A little candor, that last bit…….
whoops, wrong place.
I want to steal 2 billion… I don’t understand why it is not happening. OR, be the single signatory on 4 million political accounts… with no oversight.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Why Doonesbury isn’t in the Chicago Tribune this week
Utterly pathetic and transparent sophism, but then again not at all suprising…
Jesus… I did read some mention of that. I think even La Palin herself would say, print it. Who cares. (Althought I think Trudeau himself is an asshole, but who cares)
Incredible, really to censor a comic strip and then claim libel concerns..as if there’s an US editor who doen’t know the ramifications of Fallwell v. Flint
Trudeau is an asshole…
The headline says it all:

In the Nogales sector at least these guys are a bit of a joke; they don’t patrol they just occupy a hill outside of town and maintain radio contact with BP.
BTW The Gaurd bivouacs inside Nogales at a tiny post first utilized as a camp by the Buffalo Soldiers. The barracks they used was built by Pershing’s troops when they we’re running around Sonora “looking” for Pancho Villa; much to small and retrograde so now we tax payers are paying for new, top of line digs for our boys. An acquaintance (i.e. a rethug idget I know) is a contractor building it and claims it is going to completely fill the un-used space tiny (5 acres?) post with new apartments for Gaurdsmen…
One more bit of trivia: Jazz great Charles Mingus was born in Nogales, AZ
Thank you Oobster for making green energy not just a madison avenue come on but actually devalued as chinese…
he really did it… one reason I think the decision to jettison him has been made. Solyndra is being covered everyday out here, morning afternoon AND evening. All thru the day… and they are linking the failire of Solyndra to now tracking other stumbling new energy alternative energy businesses. And who got how much from this administration.
The Republicans have excellent CYA, a series of emails indicating the Bush admin clearly shelved the Solyndra project before they left office. (whatever the truth is, they can wave those around)
One thing that has been known out here for years, the only market REALLY for solar has been large industrial or business installations…. like some German state wants to put solar on all their city buildings, that sort of thing… the banks for years resolutely do not extend home loans FOR solar installation. And in too many districts (Bay Area is one) selling the energy BACK to the local provider is a mess.
The other thing openly discussed here FOR YEARS is that Cali may do some small or medium sized green energy production NOW but that is not slated to last. Cali will be ownership, development that sort of thing, but there will nto be a sizable green energy production done here.
I mean, what the fuck does that tell you? early years are a con.
Coming back from the hospital the other day, I noticed that every street lamp has a tiny solar panel attached. A good idea I thought, until the entrance lights at two of my neighbors went out, they used to light their entry ways VERY well… and for some reason both entries were dark for several nights, a near the corner entrance that lit both the stairs rising to their front door and two lights up at the front door, the next house just up the street from the corner entrance… that also had well lit their doorway. WIthout those exterior house lights the blockl was in utter and complete darkness. The street lamps were on but throw no light.
Solar deficient? I don’t know… it sure was not working out.

oh that explains why there has been an uptick in addled Jewish callers to my local talk radio, all manic about bombing IRan. “we must do it”.
I am so sick of Israel I could die. Talk about star crossed murderering partners, the USA!!! USA!!! and Israel.
Yeh that and the vote on a Palestinian State…
And I know the deal with Ron Paul, GOP veal pen for strays, but d a m n , there he was in some clips I saw of the last GOP debate, spreading the (LOL – heretical?) WORD — > about 9/11 in light of US occupation in the ME and carte blanche of Israel.
And there has been a whole lot of nervous chatter about how Jewish influence will be key in 2012.
Oh just LMAO. Drudge had something about “Jewish Revenge” put Turner over the top in NY 9 ..another few pieces popped up about how the WH is and the DNC have all hands on deck now on Jewish outreach.
Fact is, the Orthodox guy LOST
in a district that is changing fast.

Of course this is presently a minor inconvenience.
Longer term, there just isn’t the kind of EuroChristian guilt to assist the NY Ashkenazi.

Snob has come for your unlimited breadsticks!:
Apparently there is a weird new book out, suggesting little girls, and it is targetted for the children to read it, need to lose weight. TELLING them to diet.
Now obviously there are prblems, but we have problems across the spectrum, from hungry children to obese children, to body size obsessed children… to crazy fuckwitnut parents.
… and handing children a book teling them to diet is the wrong appraoch. But I half expect Snob to b hawking it soon.
When they pass a law banning the use of corn syrup in food I’ll begin to give anything the government has to say about what children should eat…
I agree…
That is exactly how I feel GG — all this other stuff is such obvious bullshit…
unfortunately it looks like guv’mint might be going the other way:

that ad compaign has been running out here for some time… all slap happy chatter about how sugar is sugar and the body can’t tell the difference. For years, people were afraid to even mention the words, “high fructose corn syrup” and once they did, just a few years ago, whammo as soon as the industry could, it hd a push back.
Believe me, NO elected official, and of course they are all Democrats, connected to the City is admitting to this, on the record.
OK! Even tho this is an anonymos interview with a Wall Streeter and one has to make allowances for Wall St paranoia, ti is still of interest. In fact very interesting.
Wall Street Insider, the complete interview
I think the meeting referred to is the one held this summer in NYC at Daniel, the restaurant…. Daniel Boulud himself cooked that night, it was a meeting of Ob and Wall St, and interested parties…
I read that, but it reads more like the author’s dialogue with himself than an actual interview.
Doesn’t change the fact that they are a bunch of incompetent idiots. By plan, mind you. For example, infrastructure investment is a terrible way to stimulate the economy. But if you’re a small time Chicago fixer, that’s the only way you know to dole out political favors.
Oobsters are incompetent and that’s according to “PLAN” but I found both the author and “Wall Street” both mostly unbelievable and annoyingly pushing sub-rosa content of Wall Street’s superiority; he’s not partisan he’s “educated”. Pffft, kiss my bonus. Reads like “masters of the universe”playing games with the media. HE-MAN Shouting with his big sword over our heads, “By the POWER OF Big Bussiness!”
But the meeting and how it went down….hmmm… just smacks of truth to me because of how Obster himself appears to me….
Yes, it – nd other things they do – is very much in line with the various gravy trains he was on in Chicago….
lol. It sounds like Jekyll and Hyde decided to have an argument…
