Ping!
2. Rep. Kanjorski got the date wrong. Sept. 15th was a Monday. Maybe he meant the 15th, or maybe he meant the 18th. We need a better resolving lens than Kanjorski's statement.
3. Of course, this happened while most people here in Houston were blacked out by the hurricane of Sept. 12/13th (Fri. night overnight), and while newspapers were available (the generally pitiful libtarded Houston Chronicle), Internet and cable biz news weren't, until about Sept. 27th-29th for most Houstonians ..... Just in time to see the market go over the waterfall. (Perhaps the events are related? Word "got out" and a rush to cash ensued?)
4. Minyanville also describes the peculiar This Week appearances of Sec'y. Paulson (who had a visible tic) and Rep. Boehner and others, who were singularly uncommunicative but indicated that something had happened or had nearly happened, ominously refusing to say what, even when prodded by George Stephanopoulos. A straightforward explanation would have been less alarming, one imagines (imagines -- since TV wasn't available here).
For possible interest.
