See a Scraper at Work

October 8, 2008 by Hmmm

This links to a direct scrape lifting (stealing even) of my blog without credit reference given back to me…. the real author.

Feel free to let this “person” know how you feel about scraping of the work of others.

http://bailout.trippinpipe.com/the-new-wall-st-bailout-%E2%80%A6-i-mean-ressscue/

I will see what I can’t do through complaining to their ISP and WordPress about making them take this down or give clear credit to this blog as the originator.

Tina Fey Will Get the Republican Elected… Doh!

October 5, 2008 by Hmmm

Could McCain shoot himself in the foot any better?  He has complimented “his opponent” like at least 5 times now.  Savage said a few days back that he had shot off all his toes and was standing on one hand now.

He won’t even try to deal with the 20 million invaders to the US.

He also voted (just like “his opponent”) to bail out the poor investments of others.. at tax payer expense.

He has Carly Fiorina on board… failed CEO..Buehler? anyone?

Enter Tina Fey.. as Sarah Pailn.

Savage thinks the averageness of Sarah Palin may save the ticket.

And Tina Fey pushes it right over the top… You betcha…  Joe Sixpack

Haha

The New Wall St Bailout… I Mean Ressscue.

October 3, 2008 by Hmmm

Now it’s sweetened with pork barrel spending.

Wooden arrows for children?  Race Track?  Rum in Puerto Rico?

And something about investments in American Samoa?

Oh and don’t forget… Buffet invested $5 Billion in what’s left of

Goldman Sachs.   (continued after I show out a scraper)

Palin Biden Debate

October 3, 2008 by Hmmm

Umm  Did I miss the Gwen Ifill question about the 20 million plus invaders that shouldn’t be in the country?

Oh, there wasn’t one…   K

And yadda yadda.. Palin beats smoke stack Biden by a tiny bit?

Totally overshadowed by the “Rescue” of the poor investments made by others…

Warren Buffet on Charlie Rose 10/01/08… Hmmm

October 2, 2008 by Hmmm

Ok, Secretary of the Treasury Paulson… former CEO at Goldman Sachs…K

Warren Buffet just made a $5 Billion dollar investment in what’s left of Goldman Sachs… hmmm … K

Charlie and Warren yucked it up with Warren’s message seeming to be that Congress better hurry up and pass that bailout (which $700 Billion might be too small) or credit and market confidence was gonna dry right up.

Hmm,  The Dow was up about 500 Tuesday and only down like 19 Wednesday.

The markets seem relatively calm given all that we’ve been through.

I’m still leaning toward… those that made poor investments in various risky financial instruments, and things related to risky mortgage lending practices, should accept their losses with their wins.

And… some investment banks were allowed to accept their losses and collapse…  hmmm

Now then Senate has added inducements to pass the Bailout Bill (I mean rescue…) of Goldman Sachs?

Charlie Rose 9 29… Charlie, We Aren’t That Dumb

October 1, 2008 by Hmmm

First the audio feed was off and I just had to close my eyes to just listen to the audio.   Then, Charlie just acted as if he had no clue about the content of the defeated Bailout Bill HR 3997

What oversight?  You mean the Fed Chairman, SEC and HUD secretary?

You didn’t mention that Paulson coulda bought securities of any kind, foreign or domestic.

Umm Charlie, there wasn’t even a compensation cap on Golde Parachutes… just a 20% tax.

Really?  How come you didn’t ask any details Charlie?

Charlie, we expect better from you.

And further more, it was all hype on how we better hurry and pass something.   With NO evidence of any kind to support that.

Barney Frank Knows His Briefs…

September 29, 2008 by Hmmm

On the Friday, 9/26/08  Savage Nation, Michael had a hysterical sound byte of Nancy Pelosi.

And while “Barney Franks Briefs” sounds like one of the stories from the new book.

It is not.  Maybe there will be a later book called “Congressional Nudity”

Presidential Debate 2008 Really?

September 27, 2008 by Hmmm

Did I miss the Jim Lehr question about what either of these puppets would do about the

20 million plus invaders to the United States?

Ummm why isn’t Nader at least invited to particapate and able to be heard in said debate?

Buehler… anyone?

Oh, because they want us to keep hearing the same rehearsed government media complex answers…

and get used to the Republican Democrat uni-party of socialism and fascism where we just trudge along and don’t ask questions about CEO’s at Washington Mutual that get millions of dollars after less than a month of work.   What?  Was Savage right about that?

FOX news has it anyway…

No Taxation Without Representation… Remember the Alamo!

September 26, 2008 by Hmmm

I was reminded about the Taxation quote when someone called Savage’s show Tuesday.   And Remember the Alamo… means we had to deal with SantaAna and the Mexicans before…  Hmmm

And the bailout open check to Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson..without oversight… is back to

Taxation without Representation…  There was Tea last time…..

Senator Bunning Gets Props From Savage

September 25, 2008 by Hmmm

Senator Bunning gets kudos all around including Michael Savage in calling out Secretary of the Treasury Paulson, Bush and Fed Chairman Bernanke on the Wall St bailout as Socialism and UnAmerican.

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/the-home-front/2008/09/23/sen-jim-bunning-the-bailout-is-un-american.html

and…

The recent and former CEO of Goldman Sachs…  Henry Paulson…   Conflct of interest? and he’s out February of 2009 ?   Really?  Free money while some execs will still get millions for failed work?  Really?  and with no oversight?  Really?  and all the money at once?   Really?

Looks like the People are saying let Goldman go the way of Lehman…  No soup for you!

Now Warren Buffet invests $5 Billion in Goldman Sachs?  Really?

I will Seriously Consider Nader in 2008

September 23, 2008 by Hmmm

At least Nader has stated that he will try to deal with the 20 million plus invaders to the country.

Can he make any bigger mess of the rest than our Dems and Repubs?  Really?

It would be the true change that neither batch of elitest cronies and lobbyists want.

I call on Michael Savage to give him at least some air time in his discussions if not an outright interview.

Savage, you are the independent conservative.  At least mention that he’s on the ballot in 45 states and let his name be heard.
