Some media guy, Billingsomething advised viewers to take their money out of WaMu. I have been holding out for dow under 10,000. Maybe I will wait for dow under 9000

Sorry, it was Palm Beach County. But who's counting? If the stock mkt drops like a bomb on Monday, what effect will that have?

Now merger between Merrill and B of A being discussed. Futures down.

F & F are so last week. Lehman going dooowwwnnnnn. They are doing "netting" in advance of a probable bk filing Monday. I assume you can't file on Sunday, bk courts not open. If no bk, netting trades never happened. I don't like this at all. Hysterical?? CR bears saying...

Yeah, just how will we Floridians screw up the vote this time around? So many competent women out there and he had to pick an ignorant one (smart, but ignorant) who is cute. I used to rather like McC.

I counted being taken over as not surviving. We still have a checking account there. Just aren't many banks on Merritt Island, and few to none others open on Saturdays.

Please, we are too weird here to be analyzed like that. Just recently in Broward County, in a ocal election, there was a recount in a close race for judge, I believe, and it was discovered that about 2500 ballots lost. Other candidates in close races then wanted a re-count. They...

I thought truthi had disappeared. I guess not.

I haven't been here much, because all I've been doing is reading Calculated Risk, and I can't keep up on that. Well, surely we live in interesting times. I prefer boring times myself. Everybody should take in Tanta's mortgage pig/Palin cartoon.

So I assume a well qualified borrower will get a loan in Cali? My impression is that it's rare for a well qualified borrower to get a loan in South Florida. Maybe we have no well qualified borrowers. A client is the hospital was telling me his roommate was telling him how he was...

CR's blogsters seem to think this is well nigh the end of the world. I don't think it's that bad. Since F & F are conceded to have less loxic stuff than other banks and lenders, I think it shows how bad off everyone else is by comparison. Lehman filed an overseas honcho. WaMu...

I tried to get on yesterday and the site wasn't up. Refresh didn't work.

Apparently it is still uncertain as to whether the preferreds will be spared or not.

Gustav gave Bush and Cheney an excellent excuse not to show up at the Rep convention. Thank you, God. oops. . . .

To me, ducks are 'way more disgusting than rats. There is nothing like the pooping ducks do. Luckily alligators eat them here. Maybe you should temporarily import a coyote. Nature, you know.

If the teenager wanted an abortion, she surely wouldn't be allowed to have it. Probably doesn't want one, but just sayin'. . .

At least one of her kids is old enough not to need much raising, but in the event that McC and Palin do win, she's not going to have the time to see her kids or grandkid much, and that would certainly be true of a man too. If she succeeds him she will have virtually no time to take care...

Hah, Troop, you are still yearning for that bungalow.

The playing side of the piano is against the wall, so it can't be used.

Down's syndrome does rise with age--including the age of the father. But I have known very young couples with down's syndrome kids, and my bestest friend had a kid at 44 who is perfectly normal. I would abort a down's syndrome child in a minute. And I agree that a person's...
