Random Boring Notes From Nowhere...& Anywhere

This will make the bail-out/rescue an even trillion, right? Why no, we misunderstood the text at the top of gmail™©, which read: U.S. Treasury to inject $250 billion into banks. Huh?...Turns out it's from the already committed $700,000,000,000.00. Whattaya know. Is there anyone w/ any money left? Anywhere?...The longest presidential campaign in remembered subjective history drags toward an almost perceptible conclusion somewhere in the not too far future, pretty much unchanged since the last time we pretended we gave a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut about any of this, w/ the exception that the right's rabid weasels have begun screeching about "voter fraud," hoping to establish a case that Obama couldn't possibly be the winner, remember, shhh...he's black, you know...or a defense for the voter suppression they'll engage in...blah blah...Do you ever ask yourself, "Why do I keep bothering? What difference could it possibly make?"...Or do you sometimes find yourself holding your breath waiting for the Bush Admin.'s last-chance-at-anything "October Surprise?"...Looks like those fuckers who made the planes that sneaked up on our boyz at Pearl Harbor many yrs. ago still have some money, if no one else does, as Mitsubishi UFJ has just bought into Morgan Stanley, w/ the "assurance" of our gov't. Did you get a firm handshake on that one, Mitsubishi?

The announcement came after federal officials assured Mitsubishi UFJ late Sunday that its planned investment would be protected, according to people involved in the talks. The Treasury’s assurances amount to another extraordinary move by the government and could serve as a model for future deals. The tense, weekend talks were so critical to the financial markets that they drew in both the Treasury and the Japanese government. Mitsubishi and the Japanese government pressed the Treasury Department to guarantee that if the United States were to inject money into Morgan Stanley at a later time — a step the Treasury has ruled out for now — the move would not wipe out Mitsubishi’s investment.

Happy 13th!!
