    The 9% that are satisfied must have ZERO compassion for others.

    McCain's question is , Who is Barak Obama? There is only one Obama, the problem is that McCain goes in and out of the real world. and like Spain and other gaffes, he forgets wo people are. Obama is the Obame who is eatting your lunch and talking about issues and trying to solve the economic problem in our country.

    It's over, Grandpa. Your buddies who play golf with Dubbya and you have fucked the nation over real nice with the DOW crashing each day downward. You can trot out all the Caribou Barbie gun slingin' babes you like. You can POW the shit outta the country. I think anyone with an IQ above educable retarded will be sending your lovely GOP packing for quite a while. Seen your 401K this week? Taken a look at your pension fund in the last two weeks? How's that workin' out for ya?

    And you assholes were going to let Wall Street run our Social Security accounts?

    U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox's regulators stood by as shrinking capital ratios and growing subprime holdings led to the collapse of Bear Stearns Cos., according to an unedited version of a study by the agency's inspector general. The report, by Inspector General H. David Kotz, was requested by Senator Charles Grassley to examine the role of regulators prior to the firm's collapse in March. Before it was released to the public on Sept. 26, Kotz deleted 136 references, many detailing SEC memos, meetings or comments, at the request of the agency's Division of Trading and Markets that oversees investment banks.

    ``People can judge for themselves, but it sure looks like the SEC didn't want the public to know about the red flags it apparently ignored in allowing Bear Stearns and other investment banks to engage in excessively risky behavior,'' the Iowa Republican said in an e-mailed statement. An unedited version of the 137-page study posted to Grassley's Web site Sept. 26 showed that Bear Stearns traders used pricing models for mortgage securities that "rarely mentioned'' default risk.

    From Broadcasting & Cable:
    An FCC spokesman confirmed Monday that the commission has asked for information from TV military analysts concerning their possible role in a Department of Defense program ...whether TV stations or networks bear any responsibility for not identifying the analyst's connection to the Pentagon or defense contractors.

    OT question. Why do they keep saying that the town hall format benefits McC. This seem to imply that Obama is at a disadvantage in this format. He seems personable enough. Seems to me the repubs are building huge expectations for Johnny tonight.

    Britain’s taxpayers will tomorrow be committed to spending more than £50 billion to bail out the high-street banks in a bid to avert a cataclysmic failure of confidence, The Times learnt tonight.

    Alistair Darling will tell the City in an early morning announcement that the sum is available for “investment” in leading banks that have demanded help from the Government.

    The drastic rescue move is designed to help restore stability and kickstart the paralysed credit markets by encouraging banks to lend to one another again.

    But Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling were forced to bring it forward earlier than they intended because of fears that a second day of hammering for bank shares had made leading institutions vulnerable.
