AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--that's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--that's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
HUH? The lawyer acts up and the case is dismissed? Why can’t they do it again with a new one?
It will be interesting to see if Rush bucks up the troops or blasts McCain for his idiotic new bailout.
Hi all
Thank you every day for the ping.

Credit Default Swaps
http://everydayecon.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/credit-default-swaps/
is a complicated name for a simple concept.
It is a legal contract in which an investor who buys, say, $10 million worth of bonds could pay from tens of thousands of dollars to more than a million dollars for the insurance, depending on how credit analysts view the safety of the mortgages underlying the security. The insurance contracts enabled banks and other investors to
buy securities and hold them as if they were top-grade assets, because even if the security defaulted, the credit-default swap would kick in and make the investor or bank whole.
One big problem: Anybody could write a credit-default swap.
Many in the market now worry that people who wrote the contracts may not have enough cash to honor them, which could leave institutions without safety nets they were counting on to limit their losses.
Is Odinga a Muslim? I see he’s a socialist...
Oh.....

Widely used by banks, hedge funds and other investors, credit-default swaps’ total outstanding value likely exceeds $58 trillion. But because the markets are unregulated, there is no guarantee that sellers of swaps would pay their obligations.
The turbulence in the credit default market may indicate that the financial markets’ problems will not be resolved by the Bush administration’s $700 billion plan to purchase troubled mortgage assets. Even though many in the markets expect Congress to pass the rescue effort today, the credit-default swap markets continue to indicate turmoil ahead for financial firms.

Sorry, son, but you're young, stupid, and expendable. Go hack Sarah Palin's email for us.
I only watched until Brokaw complained for the 37th time about “The rules BOTH campaigns agreed upon”...so all I saw was the first five minutes. Did Obama bring up the Keating-5?
and Odingbat is related to Obama. (I wonder if Odingbat lives in a hut on a $1 a day...)
