Dodd’s Production Run Is Way Down!! »

By Larry Doyle on Apr 2, 2009 in Christopher Dodd, Wall Street | 10 Comments

Any salesperson on Wall Street is always faced with the question as to the nature of his book of business. Meaning, not only what type of business he transacts but even more importantly, with whom does he do business. While there are many fabulous salespeople on Wall Street, sales managers are forever reviewing account coverage [...]

March Madness Continues. It’s Round Two in Our Tournament to Determine the Biggest Ass on the American Political Landscape. »

It was everything you would expect from the first round of a March Madness Tournament. Upsets, buzzer beaters, overtime and blowouts. Hard fouls, sharp elbows, long distance bombs and Larry Craig’s legendary wide stance. The battle for the No Quarter Trophy is underway. One National Champion will be named. The [...]

A dead rose by any other name still stinks….. »

By Uppity Woman on Mar 25, 2009 in AIG, Christopher Dodd, Economic Stimulus, Economy | 13 Comments

Using the AIG rendition of the social idiot who shows up at the party wearing a plastic groucho nose, eyebrows and glasses prop, AIG tore down their headquarters sign this weekend and unceremoniously, if not surreptitiously, changed their company name to AIU–although IOU seems to be a more appropriate name.
No kidding. You can’ make this [...]

LAVA Hot! Dodd’s Wife “Former Director of Bermuda-Based IPC Holdings, an AIG Controlled Company” »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 23, 2009 in AIG, Christopher Dodd | 41 Comments

h/t Truthteller for spotting this muy caliente story about Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) — now forever infamous for his Day One: “I didn’t touch the Wyden/Snowe amendment”; Day Two: “I altered the amendment in the bill, but I’m not being inconsistent in my truthiness” — and his Mormon wife, Jackie Clegg Dodd, also an [...]

It’s March Madness No Quarter-Style. Help us Determine the Biggest Ass on the American Political Landscape. »

(Bumped up from Thursday evening. JOIN IN THE FUN! This is a riot! - Susan)
It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

Well, Maybe If They READ The Damn Thing »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Mar 21, 2009 in AIG, Banking Institutions, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Christopher Dodd, Democrats, Economy, Rahm Emanuel, stimulus tax package | 66 Comments

That would be the Economic Stimulus bill, the one shoved through in such a hurry, no one had time to read it. No, they could not be bothered to take one WEEK to comb through the more than one THOUSAND pages of this bill. Maybe, just maybe, if they had, they would have [...]

[Updated VIDEO] Chris Dodd, After Lying, Admits He “Fixed” the AIG Bonuses »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 19, 2009 in AIG, Christopher Dodd | 56 Comments

UPDATE: I found the correct video, and replaced the wrong one. “Dodd admits to role in AIG loophole,” CNN says this is the video of Dodd’s confession, but it’s not. However, DODD remains mired in his envenomed, equivocating, and execrable excuse after excuse, as you’ll see in this utterly pathetic act of his. Dodd [...]

off with their heads! »

By American Girl in Italy on Mar 19, 2009 in AIG, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Corruption, Economic Stimulus | 112 Comments

I think Glenn Beck raises some excellent points in these two videos. The government, people like Dodd and Grassley, are trying to raise a mob to go after the AIG employees who took the bonuses. Grassley even said they should commit suicide…. Quit sending the rabid dogs after the AIG employees!
Government is buying you [...]

obama hypocrisy watch [update] »

By American Girl in Italy on Mar 18, 2009 in Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Current Affairs, Tim Geithner | 78 Comments

Update by editor (SusanUnPC): I’m listening to the 7 a.m. MSNBC news hour via my DVR — I watch the enemy often to catch any material to exploit — and Chris Matthews is hosting because of the live congressional (House) hearing on AIG. It’s a good thing I don’t have a Deadwood-style [...]

How Wall Street Bought Washington »

A great American and loyal reader (thanks FL) shared a report recently produced by not-for-profits Essential Information and The Consumer Education Foundation. This report, Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America, has gotten little to no attention in the general media. What a shame.

But Paul Krugman is. And he had this to say about the team Obama has put together to deal with the economy: All the President’s Zombies. Nice title, eh? Pretty much sums it up, but Mr. Krugman does go on to explain:
Ben Bernanke’s testimony over the past two days gives us our [...]

Stay tuned for LD’s Central Station — which is turning into a weekly Saturday morning LIVE chat that is NOT to be missed! — starting at 9:00 a.m. to Noon where you can ask the master himself, LD (!), as we navigate the economic landscape. LD is a Wall Street veteran who welcomes sharing his [...]

Frank Rich Roasts Republicans on the Economic Crisis: Pot, Meet Kettle »

By Ani on Feb 3, 2009 in Barack Obama, Bush/Cheney, Campaign promises, Christopher Dodd, Current Affairs, Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Republicans, stimulus tax package | 84 Comments

(bumped up from earlier this evening)
I couldn’t resist weighing in on Frank Rich’s latest lefty missive to poke another stick in the eye of Republicans, even though it is obvious there is plenty of blame to go around regarding our current economic crisis. Rich begins his rant:
Here’s a bottom line to keep you up [...]

“Let’s Really Question Ms. Schapiro….” [Update] »

By Larry Doyle on Jan 18, 2009 in Christopher Dodd, Current Affairs, Economy, FINRA, SEC | 45 Comments

In light of the disaster that is Wall Street, I do not know if I am simply dumbfounded or merely dismayed by the softball questioning of prospective SEC chairwoman Mary Schapiro yesterday.
With the dissolution of the investment banking model, the massive injections of government capital, and potential indictments of major Wall Street icons in [...]

Obama’s Questionable Internet Donations Raise Suspicion at WaPo »

By Ani on Oct 31, 2008 in Backtrack Obama, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Campaign promises, Campaigns & Campaign Financing, Christopher Dodd, David Axelrod, Democratic Nomination, Hillary Clinton, John McCain | 159 Comments

Yesterday John McCain made this statement regarding Senator Obama’s infomercial which aired via his multi-million dollar ad buy on CBS, NBC, FOX, UNIVISION, MSNBC, and NY1:
“When you’re watching this gauzy, feel-good commercial, just remember that it was paid for with broken promises. Senator Obama signed a piece of paper committing to public financing of his [...]

“Part of the Problem” »

By medusa on Oct 29, 2008 in 527s, Advertising, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Economy, Housing & Housing Crisis, John Kerry | 43 Comments

Created by the conservative group “Let Freedom Ring,” this one-minute ad just aired during prime time in the swing state where I live. I think it’s very effective.

Was Deep Throat A Mother? »

I have a funny story for you - some comic relief from all of the sexism, class warfare, racism charges, defacing of property, etc. Just to give us all a it of a break two weeks before the election.
But first, I do want to point out that a lot is going on [...]

On The Economy »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Oct 12, 2008 in ACORN, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Economy, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Thomas Jefferson | 29 Comments

There have been some complaints that not enough is being written on the Economy, and that there is too much focus on Obama’s shady past. True enough, the stock market hasn’t been looking too good this past week. Or the week before that. Or even the week before that one.
But [...]

it isn’t coincidence…there is a pattern »

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this:
Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable.
Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, organizing events [...]

New Ad on Washington Sleaze »

By Bud White on Oct 8, 2008 in 527s, Bill Ayers, Censorship, Christopher Dodd, Current Affairs, Democrats, Fund Raising, Home Loan, Housing & Housing Crisis | 158 Comments

The American Issues Project, the 501 (c)4 organization whose first ad exposed Obama’s long-term friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and which the Obama team tried to quash, released a new ad on Wednesday about the economic meltdown, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and corruption. This ad does not mention Obama or the fact he [...]
