Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
tell Bush that giving a speech tonight is a massive example of not helping in the least
Did you all see his press conference over the weekend? We talked a little about the language (" turns out there's a lot of interconnectedness in the market...") but when you watch it it's one of the scarier things I've seen in a long time. I mean, most junior high kids could sound more of top of things. I saw a clip of it again last night and it just gave me chills.
He'd better not fuck with Bones tonight.
It's supposed to be at 9pm, but I'm worried the networks will be breaking in before that. Bones being on Fox doesn't help things, either.
Huh, another detail [link]
The Obama campaign said Obama had called McCain around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to propose that they issue a joint statement in support of a package to help fix the economy as soon as possible. McCain called back six hours later and agreed to the idea of the statement, the Obama campaign said. McCain's statement was issued to the media a few minutes later.
I don't think requesting a time out looks presidential at all.
ITA. I mean, if he's trapped in the White House by a large pig, he can't expect the pig to give him a time out.
I can't do that kind of number in my head, but quite often that does not save you that much money when the difference is that small. Also, how many years have you paid on your mortgage already? Cause if you have already paid five or ten years worth and go back to a 30 years mortage then you can lower your monthly payments and still increase what you pay over the lifetime of the mortage. You are not losing equity per-se in that kind of deal, but you basically turn your lifetime payments into paying a 40 year mortgage which costs you a lot in interest.

Exactly!
Cause if you have already paid five or ten years worth and go back to a 30 years mortage then you can lower your monthly payments and still increase what you pay over the lifetime of the mortage.
If you have enough years paid, you could go to a 15 year fixed. You might be able to get an even better rate that way as well. Your monthly payment would probably go up, but the lower interest rate would mitigate the increase.
And Obama is supposed to be making a statement any time now.
I don't think requesting a time out looks presidential at all. I think it either looks like he's exploiting the economy to get out of the debate or best case, he can't keep up.
To me, it looks like grandstanding.

Oh, for fuck's sake. What a cockbite!
