Lord knows we don't have nearly enough of that.
At some point, someone’s going to have to get stuck with these assets, and the big loss.
Looks to me like it’s going to be the taxpayer.
(sigh)
So when exactly will actual Americans say “enough?” Enough of the theft of my money. Enough of the socialization of free enterprise. Enough of the loss of my liberty.
Why don’t you offer something constructive, instead of just being a jerk?
If I am saying something that is factually incorrect, or presenting it poorly, point it out. But don’t just do the damn drive by insult.
The only person that looks stupid doing that is you.
The FR section this article appears in is “Bloggers and Personal.” Maybe you could also explain why “a blogger pimping his blog” on such a section is wrong?
Fine. You've said half as well things that are being said twice as much elsewhere. How's that?
If I am saying something that is factually incorrect, or presenting it poorly,
Option B.
Nearly every one of your links has already been posted here in part or in full. Why don't you put your comments in one of those threads instead of cluttering up the forum with yet another blog-pimping vanity post?

You apparently aren’t so damn good at saying things yourself. You provided me with one option and called it “option B.”
Let me give YOU two options:
Option A: if you don’t like an article, don’t read it. What kind of slimebag writes trivial comments to something like you’re doing? Personally, if an article is a waste of time to me, I move on. I have a feeling people who don’t have giant chips on their shoulders do the same.
Option B: eat a buffet’s worth of fecal matter and die.
I’ve had a number of articles in which people have actually thanked me for writing/posting. Why on earth do you think someone died and made you God? Or even made you the godlike critic who gets to decide who’s written something “half as well” as someone else?
Assuming you actually bother to post articles, would you like it if I started offering MY trivial and angry little insights into your work? You don’t have to worry, because I won’t waste my time. I’m frankly a better and more substantial person than that. And I wish you could be one, too.
I’ll just assume that your mission in life is to be an annoying little gnat and - since you’re not close enough to me to swat the living sh@t out of - move on.
Someone need a hug?
I’ll take one if it’s a pretty lady giving it - with much sincere appreciation.
The other fellow simply needs to pull the giant stick out of his butt.
I really just wanted to talk about toxic assets and why the plan was deeply flawed, rather than some blowhard’s critique of my writing skills, such as they are.
Just make sure you don’t quote any oh his responses - he gets mad!
Blow me, newbie.
I’d say something about not bothering to quote any of his responses because he’s such a crappy writer and nothing he says is worth quoting, but that would simply be being snotty, wouldn’t it?
I get the profound sense you are very much the type who would really like it if I did.
Pull it out in front of me, and I'll make sure you lose it.
Just out of curiosity, is your entire sense of self-esteem bound up in the fact that you've got a longer history lurking around FR like some kind of little piranha than other people?
What a fun thread this turned out to be. /s
Not half as much as you would. I've a feeling it wouldn't be nearly the first time for you, either.
Listen new guy. It's really bad form for newbs to wander in to the forum and start pimping their own blogs. It's most especially bad form for newbs to pimp their blogs when those blogs don't contain a single original thought.
You know, like yours did.
You 'wrote' (such is the pathetic state of prose these days that what you tossed up is even referred to as writing)6 paragraphs and every one has a hyperlink to an article that's already been posted in whole or in part and quite thoroughly discussed here already.
In case you haven't noticed no one here thinks TARP 1, TARP 2, or any future iteration of TARP is a good idea. We've all already decided that it's a very, very bad thing.
We didn't need you popping in with yet another insufferable blog posting masquerading as a VDH piece.
Every single word you posted was done earlier and better by others.
That's my bitch.
Now stuff it.

Got sentence structure?
Your thin skin makes you easy to mock, FRiend.
For what it’s worth, I do not see anything in this peice I have an issue with. There is no unsupported pejorative in its opening sentence, unlike the discussion opener we sparred over last time.
If I were to critique the blog article, it would be over style - which is necessarily personal.
Overall, I would rate this article as readable and supportable, from my perspective. (If quoted on that I will deny it, of course! ;-P)
At least we got the entire article for a change.
A mixed blessing at best my friend.
