That is basically the excuse Rep. Maxine Waters (of ACORN-loving fame) uses for why Rep. Rangel is not going to have any comeuppance for his tax fraud in this article, “Rep. Waters: ‘Many Members’ Suffer From Disclosure Problems Like Rep. Rangel.” Holy smokes.
BONUS look back at Rep. Charlie Rangel. Remember when [...]

When I heard this story, I simply could not get over the incredible hypocrisy. This is not the first time Rangel has been in trouble over taxes, but he has stepped WAY over the bounds, a case made in this article, Sorry, Charlie: Rep. Rangel must step aside as chairman of the House Ways and [...]

I have some major things going on today, but I did want to touch on the Economy and what has been going on of late. As you may have heard, we have been adding $200 BILLION a MONTH to the Deficit. We are currently bumping up against the $12.1 TRILLION Debt Ceiling as [...]

Normally I would never quote Frank Rich. Endless copy excoriating Hillary Clinton in favor of Barack Obama during the primaries rendered his columns unreadable. Imagine my surprise to see Mr. Rich put down the Kool-Aid jug for a moment in his NY Times offering, Is Obama Punking Us. Let me start by [...]

Hillary Clinton has been working diligently for months to appoint a new administrator of USAID. Now Jill Dougherty of CNN reports that “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton showed a rare flash of frustration Monday:
– calling the vetting process for Obama administration nominees “ridiculous” and “a nightmare.”
At a question-and-answer session with staff from the [...]

That’s President Serene Jones, of Union Theological Seminary speaking. She continued, “Justice is what love looks like when it takes social form.”
Wow. This is but one of the profound statements made by Dr. Jones throughout the course of Bill Moyers’ “Journal: Faith and Social Justice,” which also included Dr. Cornel West, formerly [...]

Please adjust my goggles if I am incorrect, but isn’t Truthout.org that progressive publication that was forever calling President Bush and his administration out on the carpet for their many ills? Now Marc Ash of Truthout writes a powerful rant targeting the new administration called This Isn’t Working. I know there have been [...]

Faster than you could shake a drunk donkey off of an epileptic elephant’s back I put two and two together..
Sometimes I wish I had Larry Doyle’s knowledge and financial background. Sometimes I am glad I don’t, for if I did, I would not have amused myself as much today.
I was listening to a talking [...]

Editor’s UPDATE: Below the fold, there’s a pithy, explanatory description of what the T.A.R.P. oversight panel (Chair Elizabeth Warren et al.) concluded in its worrisome report on Treasury’s handling (or not) of the economy’s downturn.
John Batchelor: From my blog. Don’t miss Larry Johnson on my show Sunday nights. Watch for NoQuarter’s promo on Sundays.

Pirate Bankers Rising.
Francesco Guerrera, FT, reported to my financial roundtable on the show, Sunday 5, that the bankers are preparing to game the junk assets on their books. Here is the part of the scheme that [...]

When even MSNBC’s Obama cheerleader Rachel Maddow is reporting on Geithner’s inability to attract qualified staff — and she says that Obama confesses he can’t “give the jobs away”! — it’s truly worrisome. I hear that major business executives call and call and call, and can’t get anyone to RETURN their phone calls! [...]

(This is essential reading that I bumped up - Susan)
Remember when George Bush and Dick Cheney could rely on the many in the media to help them euphemize that dirty word, “torture?” It wasn’t torture, it was “enhanced interrogation.” That’s like calling the amputation of a leg, “enhanced skin removal below the waist.” [...]

With auto company bailouts highly unpopular with the citizenry, President Barack Obama, who will speak later Monday, felt compelled to shake things up. To be blunt, as Allahpundit puts it, “If you want taxpayer money, you’re going to have to do things The One’s way.”
The WSJ reports that GM’s Rick Wagoner and Fritz Henderson [...]

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.

There is NO doubt that our financial markets and financial firms will experience significant changes in regulation on a going forward basis. Turbo-Tim Geithner laid out those plans this week. President Obama is hosting the heads of the major banks at noon today to lay the groundwork for the universal acceptance of the new rules, [...]

The other day, I provided a cursory overview of the details embedded in the recently proposed Public-Private Investment Partnership, Will Banks Truly Sell these Toxic Assets?
The main point I tried to highlight in that piece was the need for true price discovery for these toxic assets. A loyal reader provided tremendous insight in highlighting that [...]

“She looks presidential.” No, she doesn’t. Yes, she does! Oh, honestly. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!
BESIDES: I can’t believe how the rightwing has walked right into Obama’s set-up, his favorite play with the magician’s “sleight of hand” to distract people, to keep the rightwing obsessing about brown people in Mexico causing WAR [...]

I took notice that Timmy Geithner rolled out his big regulation scheme after the horses have already left the barn and are galloping free without restraints, freed from the reins, the saddles, the crops, or the boots in their bellies. Yes, the scheme arrives after he’s created a “toxic assets” plan that’s a one-sided [...]
