Is Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein a Liar? »

By Larry Doyle on Nov 19, 2009 in AIG, Current Affairs, Economy, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog) | 9 Comments

On Tuesday, I wrote “Just How Sorry Is Goldman Sachs?” in response to a blanket, unspecified, and unsolicited apology put forth by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. In my commentary, I asserted:
Wait a second. Blankfein admits that Goldman participated in activities that led to the crisis? Get Lloyd back in here and ask him for [...]

Elliot Spitzer versus Jim Cramer »

By SusanUnPC on May 13, 2009 in AIG, Bailouts, Bank Bailouts, Bank Failure, Economy, TARP, Toxic Assets, Wall Street | 42 Comments

I got bored with fast-forwarding through Hannity last night who devoted an unbelievable 45 minutes (!) to the Miss California non-news story, so I checked out Rachel Maddow. Her guest? The always compelling Eliot Spitzer, whose recent remarks to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria were covered at No Quarter in two posts, the last of [...]

Leave Them Singing »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Apr 7, 2009 in AIG, Barack Obama, Current Affairs | 10 Comments

This is my last post for a couple of weeks. I thought of writing up this sad story from Baghdad, “Six Gay Men Shot Dead By Tribe Members,” but I just couldn’t do it. It is a brief article, if you want to read it, and sad, needless to say, especially since the [...]

This man (who rocks, really) is hitting the nation’s air waves non-stop today to fight for his state and its primary industry, essential not just for the economy and jobs but also — critically so — for our national security.

South Park: The AIG Bailout Told Violently »

By John Batchelor on Mar 28, 2009 in AIG, Current Affairs, Economic Stimulus, Economy, John Batchelor, Larry Johnson, Tim Geithner | 28 Comments

Editor’s Note: Eat your eggs before you watch this video.

South Park silences the brains of the most ponderous characters in the United States Treasury. September 15 and 16 2008 come to this. The Republic was as headless as a chicken. Is it better today? AIG is the answer.

The Identical Plutocrat Pigs Who Destroyed the Economy Are Eating at OUR Trough Again [Updated] »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 26, 2009 in AIG, Larry Summers, Middle America, President Barack Obama, Tim Geithner, Toxic Assets | 36 Comments

The plutocrat pigs are at our trough again, thanks to one Timothy Geithner and one Lawrence Summers. Well, if you have seen my posts featuring interviews or columns by Princeton’s Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate in Economics, you know Geithner’s “toxic assets plan,” announced Monday under Geithner’s, not Obama’s name, is designed to 1) Avoid any [...]

“The Way to Hell …” »

From Reuters: Geithner’s global dilemma
Mar. 25 - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner caused a ruckus in foreign exchange markets after conflicting comments on the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency.
His comments follow a growing European backlash against parts the Obama administration’s economic revival strategy. Speakers: Mirek Topolanek, prime minister, Czech Republic; Meg Browne, senior [...]

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 [...]

Criminals: Wall Street vs. Main Street »

By Pat Racimora on Mar 23, 2009 in AIG, Corruption | 21 Comments

Can you imagine the scenario in my toon actually happening? It seems ludicrous beyond words. The police would probably make a quick stop at the nearest mental facility just to assess how delusional this dumb sap is before booking him for robbery.
And yet it is exactly parallel to what is happening at [...]

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 [...]

MAJOR VIDEO UPDATE: BELOW the fold, the FULL interview by Fareed Zakaria of Eliot Spitzer.
Foreword: Special thanks go to my dear friend Truthteller who introduced me to the incendiary phrase, “Lava hot!”
Let’s face facts: Obama does not have a plan for the economy. There IS NO PLAN. That’s because he doesn’t do the work. [...]

[UPDATE: I'm Floored] Explosive: AIG will dispense more bonuses »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 21, 2009 in AIG | 23 Comments

UPDATE: Given the few comments this story has received, I guess that everyone here at No Quarter is mostly alright with AIG’s executives receiving two more rounds in millions of dollars of bonuses on July 15th and September 15th. Okay. You’re not presuming they won’t get those bonuses, are you? Or that Congress can pass [...]

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 [...]

From Larry Doyle’s wife, a great short speech by a Congressman »

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter slams AIG stimulus protections passed in partisan stimulus bill:

Rep. McCotter comes from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District and is, yes, a Republican. Here’s his YouTube channel and the link to his House Web site. BELOW, REP. McCOTTER ASKS THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I DID in my story below which, for short, I’ll [...]

Obama’s Contributors »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Mar 20, 2009 in AIG, Bamboozling, Banking Institutions, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Citigroup, Rahm Emanuel, Wall Street | 49 Comments

Since AIG is big in the news right now, with Obama claiming his faux outrage over the bonuses, and Chris Dodd saying, “Don’t blame me!” “I mean, do blame me!” (c’mon, don’t you KNOW Rahm Emanuel showed Chris just how they do it in Chicago to make him take the fall for this?), I [...]

[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 [...]

PSAs and AIG »

I have a couple of things to share with you. They are not fun topics, but they are important topics.
The first deal with Domestic Violence. This issues has been in the forefront recently because of Rihanna and Chris Brown. Disturbingly enough, HALF of young people surveyed in Boston think it is Rihanna’s [...]
