And no sooner does Citi take over a bank that just failed, in part, because ellos los chaperon los penes de “La Raza”,  than it…does the exact same thing itself.
CITI AND THE CITI FOUNDATION AWARD $1,000,000 TO THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA
Grant Supports Ongoing Capacity Building for Local Affiliates
Just an FYI – Citi was one of the banks scheduled to be bailed out under the terms of the Crap Sandwich™.
Memo to Citi:  Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Last week, we had a veritable gaggle of Chicken Littles squawking that if the original $700 XXXL (that’s billion  to you folks at the Church of the SubTarded) bailout crap sandwich bill wasn’t passed BY FRIDAY, BAH GAWD™, that the economy would tank and we’d all lose our jobs and be living in SackclothAndAshes-Ville™ by Monday.
Monday they said that if Uncle Sugar didn’t do something by the end of the day, stocks would lose 398% of their value, the economy would crash and we’d all be selling apples on street cornersOHMAHGAWDTHEHORRORTHEHUMANITY!!!!!!!11!!ONE!!!1
This morning, as I write this, the Dow is up 240 points.  (And yes, I am fully aware that it may change, depending on what time you click that link, but that’s just as I was writing this, okay?)
I’m still here.  What about you?
UPDATE:  Dow finished up 485 – well over half the value lost yesterday.
Those of you who whined about the sky falling yesterday:  Don’tcha feel rather silly now? 
Denizens, remember a couple of days ago I challenged these pussies to come get me?
Not that I had anything to do with it (I didn’t), but it looks like they got the message, anyway:
Missouri law officials, including public prosecutors, who were reportedly planning to “respond immediately” to any misleading advertisements against Barack Obama if they “might violate Missouri ethics laws,” have now backed off the intimidating implications of that report, promising that they have no intention of prosecuting anyone.
[…]
A spokesperson for St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, however, told WND that the televised “Truth Squad” announcement was misunderstood.
“The only action they would take would be to provide truthful information to the public so they can make up their minds,” said spokesperson Susan Ryan. “Neither (Joyce) nor anybody involved in this has any intention of prosecuting anybody.”
When asked if the initial announcement suggested legal ramifications for “crossing ethics laws in Missouri,” Ryan confirmed, “Unfortunately it did suggest that, but the ‘Truth Squad’ has no intention of prosecuting anyone for this.”
Further, Ryan insisted, attorneys McCulloch and Joyce are participating in the “Truth Squad” as part of their private citizenship, on their own time, and in no way in their capacity as prosecutors.
Uh huh.  Right.  Pull the other one, bitch.  Like I’m supposed to believe anything coming out of the skanky piehole of a DemoNazi.
Mizzou governor Matt Blount (hmmm, wonder if he’s any relation to this guy?) isn’t buying it, either:
“That’s not how they announced it,” objected Gov. Blount in an interview on Fox TV’s “America’s Newsroom” talk show. “They rolled it out as prosecutors willing to take actions as prosecutors.”
Blount conceded that government officials could serve on “Truth Squads” in their private time, but defended his sharp criticism of the way the announcement was made.
“What I found troubling,” said Blount, “is that a campaign enlisted prosecutors, and those prosecutors specifically talked about targeting their opponents; they talked about responding to ‘alleged violations of the law.’ Generally when a prosecutor talks about responding to an alleged violation of the law, that means you’re going to prosecute.”
Oh, that’s what they meant to do, Governor:  Intimidate the populace into doing things their  way.  Just like a typical schoolyard bully.
Except these bullies didn’t count on the GenPop™ turning on them like they did.  Real brave they are when they’re in front of a camera or sitting behind their desks & benches.  Not so much when they’re face-to-face, hm?
Denizens, this is how you de-testicle a bully (assuming you can even find  their balls):  Stand up to them and tell them in no uncertain terms that a bloody nose – among other things – awaits them if they persist.
Stupid little chickenshits they are, and stupid little chickenshits they’ll be.
Typical Demoscum.
