I heard Steve King (R-"Moran") is papering the Capitol grounds with the health care bill.

Has anyone read it to him to make sure he's got the right document?

Stupak

Awhile back Dan Savage coined a new word, or at least a new meaning for a word.

Suggestions for Stupak?

The press likes to talk about the tremendous bank bailout success - paid it back with interest! - but that's only if you ignore the failures and likely future failures...

I do not know why some people think women shouldn't have access to appropriate medical care. Something is wrong with them.

That Was A Big One

Just getting around to skimming the FDIC press releases.

As of October 23, 2009, United Commercial Bank had total assets of $11.2 billion and total deposits of approximately $7.5 billion. East West Bank paid the FDIC a premium of 1.1 percent for the right to assume all of the deposits of United Commercial Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, East West Bank agreed to purchase approximately $10.2 billion in assets of the failed bank. As part of the purchase and assumption agreement, the FDIC transferred to East West Bank all qualified financial contracts to which United Commercial Bank was a party and those contracts remain in full force and effect.

The FDIC and East West Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on approximately $7.7 billion of United Commercial Bank's assets. East West Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share arrangement is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The agreement also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers

Every Little Thing

noreply@blogger.com (Atrios) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:12:00 +0000

I didn't like George Bush and pretty much every little thing he did annoyed me, but I didn't think everything which annoyed me was somehow a big deal. But the right really just goes after every little thing because they know that eventually drudgico will pick some of it up and Chuck Todd will be blathering about it. Back in the day we'd be like uh, hey, uh, isn't torture, you know, bad? Now they have to settle for "some phrase I dislike for reasons I cannot articulate."

Extending unemployment is good, but the attached homebuyers' tax credit sucks and is expensive. Oh well.

Blue Doggery

The thing is that the media will generally let them get away with these contradictions. Everyone knows liberals just like to raise taxes and spend lots of money on useless crap, so a liberal supported health care plan must cause the deficit to increase. Only the brave Blue Dogs, fresh off voting to spend billions for more Freedom Bombs, can save us from that fate.

Oops. My Bad.

Former Citigroup guy John Reed, force behind Glass-Steagal repeal, actually apologizes for it.

Apologizing isn't exactly a difficult thing to do, but it's so rare that any of our elites admit any responsibly for anything.

Obviously the only way he can fully make amends is by donating a substantial portion of his fortune to a certain baby blue blogger.

I know supplemental war funding is technically "free," but perhaps we need some non-free extra stimulus instead...
