Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

7997.28.

Seven thousand, nine hundred ninety-seven point twenty-eight.

That’s where the Dow Jones Industrial Average is as of this moment.

Since the Ayatollah Obambi’s treasury secretary, Emperor Paulson, declared his intention not to bail out “toxic assets” with the trillion-dollar Crap Sandwich 2.0&#153, and since the automotive industry in Obambi’s blue state of Michigan signaled their greed in whining for part of that bailout, stocks have nosedived.&#160 The Dow has lost nearly 50% of its value, thanks to the failed economic policies of Al-Obambi.

And the country, so full of itself with HOPE!!!&#160 and CHANGE!!!,&#160 continues to implode apace.

Hey, America, you damnfools&#160 voted for this jug-eared son-of-a-bitch.&#160 You wholeheartedly deserve not only this, but the worse…and worst…that is to come.

Let’s hope that folks don’t get so desperate that you libtard fucksticks have to find some way of defending yourselves when the wolves are at your door.

Me, I won’t lift so much as a finger to help.&#160 I’ll be videotaping it all, and laughing at each nanosecond of it.

Hmmmm.&#160 Says here that the Dow Jones has lost nearly 950 points since, oh…roughly Tuesday or thereabouts.

About the time that some 62 million short-bus retards decided to put a socialist into the White House.

Coincidence?&#160 I don’t think so.

Welcome to Al-Obambi’s Recession&#153.

That’s right Ayatollah – this one’s all on your pimply ass.&#160 Just like you liberal bastards have blamed Bush for every single damned thing that’s happened over the last eight years, we’re blaming your guy for everything that’s happened from 11/04/08 going forward.&#160 And even some that haven’t.

Welcome to Hell, Jugears McHopenchange.&#160 How do&#160 you like it?&#160

The beautiful and talented Princess Malkin has this post up about the Chicken Littles over at the White House and at Treasury, and it’s a damned good one – one I think you should go read.

But what I want to point your attention to is a comment in that thread made by a reader of hers named shooter – which said, in part:

Success is a mind set.

I wonder what would happen if we heard all good and positive outlooks for 2 days. We could recover a bunch in short order.

And it got me to thinking.&#160 (Dangerous, yes, I know.)

Ever since the Dow peaked above 14,000 a year ago – and, in all honesty, long before that – how long has the Lame Stream Mediots&#153 been singing the siren song of “The SKY is falling, the SKY is falling!!!1!!ONE!!ELEVENTY!!!1” ad infinitum, ad nauseam?

Fact is, they’ve never stopped, have they?

At the risk of invoking Godwin’s Law&#153 – what was it Goebbels always said?&#160 Repeat a lie often enough, and it’ll become the truth?

More later.

Mark the date & time, Denizens.&#160 I’m actually in agreement with a libtard.

If this&#160 is true – and I have no reason to believe that it isn’t, despite the fact that it comes from the Associated (with terrorists) Press – I’m inclined to agree with Henry Waxman on this.

Less than a week after the federal government had to bail out American International Group Inc. (AIG), the company sent executives on a $440,000 retreat to a posh California resort, lawmakers investigating the company’s meltdown said Tuesday.

The tab included $23,380 worth of spa treatments for AIG employees at the coastal St. Regis resort south of Los Angeles even as the company tapped into an $85 billion loan from the government it needed to stave off bankruptcy.

The retreat didn’t include anyone from the financial products division that nearly drove AIG under, but lawmakers were still enraged over thousands of dollars spent on catered banquets, golf outings and visits to the resort’s spa and salon for executives of AIG’s main U.S. life insurance subsidiary.

“Average Americans are suffering economically. They’re losing their jobs, their homes and their health insurance,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., scolded the company during a lengthy opening statement. “Yet less than one week after the taxpayers rescued AIG, company executives could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation.”

Now, five’ll get you ten that AIG’s “leaders” are, in fact, Demoscum.&#160 Which would make Waxman’s angst ironic, if palatable.&#160 But if AIG execs are feasting on caviar & lobster tail after just having my tax money bail those bastards out, then rack & thumbscrew are too good for the mothers.

And you may quote me.
