Bonkers: Auto loans & Citigroup

I think we extended Citigroup banks about 150,000,000,000 dollars to save their miserable butts!
Why don't they loan the auto companies the 30-40 billion they want?

michakra: Online Driver's License Renewal/ Georgia Dept of Driver services

Online drivers licence renewal (https://online.dds.ga.gov/licenserenewal/RINEntry.aspx)does not have the drop down box for DAY field. It does give you the drop down selection for the YEAR. How are we supposed to renew online if site is so poorly managed and quality controlled?

It appears that the current problem with the recession is that suddenly there was no credit, and past loans used for operating expenses were either cancelled or not renewed.

PTC Avenger: The Era of White Guilt is Over

"Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath.

Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America 's flirtation with neo- socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency.

DarthDubious: Billions for Bankers--Debts for the People Part 5: Yes, it's political too!

DarthDubious's picture

Democrat, Republican, and independent voters who have wondered why politicians always spend more tax money than they take in should now see the reason. When they begin to study our money system, they soon realize that these politicians are not the agents of the people but are the agents of the bankers, for whom they plan ways to place the people further in debt.

The Shadow: Obama Presidency Illegal?

The National left wing news media has kept quiet the lawsuit of Donofrio v. New Jersey on whether or not Obama is a legal US citizen.

sniffles5: Then Versus Now

sniffles5's picture

1938 Original Version
Father O'Malley (think: Bing Crosby) has heard some disturbing news. He's been informed that two of his charges at Boys Town High, nominally friends, have gotten into a fight in the boy's bathroom. Additionally, these budding hooligans are rumored to be in possession of pornographic comic books (called "Tiajuana Bibles). Father O'Malley has had enough. He marches these two miscreants down to the gym and has them lace up the old boxing gloves. He gives them a quick 2 minute rundown on the Marquis of Queensbury rules and nods approvingly as the two toughs proceed to pound the Holy Hell out of each other for the next 20 minutes, channelling their aggression in a controlled environment. The boys, having a positive male role model and seeing the error of their ways, clean up their act and go on to become responsible citizens in the community.

TJAM: Tyrone’s New Council One Year Later

Now that the new council has one year under their belt (they started holding secrete meetings in November and offering jobs to their hand selected applicants before January, yes there is proof of it, the mayor wrote letters) lets look at the “improvement” the voters got:

Nitpickers: Georgia's run-off election

I was reminded of the "Georgia" of old" today as to the way the run-off was done.

In the general election early voting was allowed for several days, allowing those who work during the open hours to arrange to vote on several time schedules---not so in the run-off.

TonyF: Two new misused words for the list.

TonyF's picture

Along with the "your for you're" and "to for too", not to mention all the misspellings whether from ignorance or intentional use (possibly to disguise inherrant stupidity), now I'm seeing "THEN for THAN" and "QUITE" when the word is obviously meant to be "QUIET", from bloggers whom I assumed to be of above average intelligence. Why do we, who profess to be so danged smart, show our lack of knowledge on every stinking blog we write (or is it "right")?

DarthDubious: Billions for Bankers--Debts for the People Part 4: Manipulating Stocks for Fun and Profit

DarthDubious's picture

You say, "This is terrible!" Yes, it is, but we have shown only part of the sordid story. Under this unholy system, those United States Bonds have now become "assets" of the banks in the Reserve System which they then use as "reserves" to "create" more "credit" to lend. Current "reserve" requirements allow them to use that $1 billion in bonds to "create" as much as $15 billion in new "credit" to lend to states, municipalities, to individuals and businesses.

"In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning."
