I'm sick of the locals--mostly "I've got mine, the rest of you dirty rotten unAmerican cheaters can go hang" types--saying "Let everything just collapse!" They think they'll survive because they've got food storage in the basement.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not worried about my checking & savings accounts, but I'm damned relieved I wasn't planning on using my trust fund for anything in the next few years.

we are the voice of reason while much of the rest of the country is all OMGOMGing and pulling out their $500 from checking to sit on at home
That's right, I'm not just sitting on my $500, I'm buying food and guns.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oops.
Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the whip, estimated that Pelosi's speech changed the minds of a dozen Republicans who might otherwise have supported the plan.
Frank said that was a remarkable accusation by Republicans against Republicans: "Because somebody hurt their feelings, they decided to punish the country."
Ah, it wasn't Wonkette, it was Barney Frank who said that. My mistake.

I like this one:
Q: What is the role of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan?
PALIN: Afghanistan will lead to further security of our economy. It is, somebody was saying this morning, a toxic waste there on the verbiage that Senator McCain chose to use them. So we have got to get that gas line built, so pray for that. I see the collapse that we're seeing today, you know that there are very, very appropriate role in the stringent oversight, making sure that those abuses stop. Well, you know, kids who perhaps graduate college and their allies, including the United States as being a force for good in the trade sector today we've got to play an appropriate role in the sense of the earth.

I'm not worried about my checking & savings accounts, but I'm damned relieved I wasn't planning on using my trust fund for anything in the next few years.
Yeah, the stock that caused my sister to say that she should have put the whole trust into one stock (because it had gone from $3/share to close to $60)? The one I told her to sell 2 years ago at about $60 because it was insane to stay invested in single stocks when my brother and I are counting on this trust to pay our debts? That one? Yeah, she didn't sell any and it's at $15 now.
My 401K I worry less about because that is long-term investing. And I control it, not my craxy sister.
I'm not worried about banks at all for the moment.
