    What the meltdown looks like

    What the meltdown looks like, a report on the foreclosure crisis by a Southern California TV station.

    Wow. I thought I knew what was going on, but this really made it a lot more understandable. Terrifying.

    The piece opens saying Californians are used to seeing homes destroyed by natural disaster, but this is a financial disaster... I thought to myself, that sounds a bit "over the top". Then I watched their report. They weren't kidding.

    CNN Laughs It Up Over Sarah Palin Interview

    YouTube: CNN Laughs It Up Over Sarah Palin Interview

    I didn't recognize it at the time, but Tina Fey's Sarah Palin said the exact same thing as the real Sarah Palin! It's recursive humour!

    Who's the parody now?

    The Agitator: What About the Renters?

    A great post, here is a great comment I found below...

    "I have decided to follow John McCain%u2019s lead and suspend all work related activities, so that I can focus my attention on solving the country%u2019s financial problems. It doesn%u2019t matter that everyone knows that my financial knowledge is extremely limited, or that I%u2019m not on any of the committees tasked with addressing the issue. I just think it%u2019s important to show the country that I%u2019m out there doing something."

    It's kinda like going shopping was the right thing to do after 9/11. If Bush was smart he would have suggested people buy and read some history books (and presumably let him know what they contained).

    GOP: "We do not support government bailouts"

    Straight from the GOP site itself: 2008 Republican Platform

    "We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all."

    There ya have it. So if a Republican administration bailed out private institutions, that would be hypocritical, even deceitful, wouldn't it?
