Henry Kissinger can fairly be called a lot of things. "Naive" is not one of them.

You know I've heard various accounts of the F2F crisis meeting at the White House yesterday that described that 'shouting' was going on at it, without any identification of who was doing the yelling... aside from mention that McCain was largely silent during it. So who was yelling?

I know it is the same at all big financial places, but it makes me more than a wee sick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Furthermore, one non-rank-and-file Republican, Senator John McCain, is apparently playing spoiler. Earlier this week, while refusing to say whether he supported the Paulson plan, he claimed not to have had a chance to read it; the plan is all of three pages long. Then he inserted himself into the delicate negotiations over the Congressional plan, insisting on a White House meeting at which he reportedly said little — but during which consensus collapsed.

I'll give him this much -- at least he didn't cause the problem and then walk away with millions.

You know, people often say that those who live in Alaska by choice don't fit in to the Lower 48 some way or another. That doesn't mean that gives her license to BE A FUCKING OSTRICH-HEADED IDIOT.
Excuse me, I'm going to go breathe into a paper bag now. OMG.

Hi all. ::waves:: Financial world still on brink of collapse I see. I am finding myself trying more and more to gird myself for this depression. I just wish I had the money brain to also make sure we'll weather it financially.

I keep wondering if our current elections look like Crazy Land to everyone, or if there's actually some constiuency who thinks this is normal.
