I just love when she acts like she has any idea of what she's saying, as well as acting as if she gives a shit about it anyway. Adorable.

Japanese-style malaise goes well with fish.

I'd like to point out that this is the same woman that said she'd bring Greenspan back. Nothing she says about the economy should matter, because that is simply DUMB. I know very little about economics, but I do know that you can't solve the problems created in under Greenspan's leadership by bringing him back.

Did anyone else read Obama's speech and realize that he isn't electable because he actually understands the economy and doesn't say either "I don't get it" or "Everyone will get their jobs back!"?

As a Southerner, I prefer Miracle Whip over just plain ordinary malaise.

...since we are turning into Japan are we going to get those vending machines with worn womens panties in them? Or at least some of those crazy game shows!

They even have better real dolls.

@FloraWay: NSFW!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!

@AngryBlakGuy: Sorry! Should have warned you.

I also want to point out that if we become Japanese, I'm not going to dress like this:

That is safe for work.

Relax. Remember how Hillary saved us from Mexican malaise by deploying the tiny El Mariachito? Well she has an even better plan to rescue us from the scourge of Japanese malaise. The Mothra Twins!

And even if we do catch the Yellow Fever of ennui, at least our clothes will be safe from giant moths.

@FloraWay: Geez, a little warning about the contenet wouldve been nice! My manager has already warned me that if he catches me on "...those sites" again he is going demote me to Drive thru!

@FloraWay: Ah yes, Japanese art of nose-picking... very honorable.

There is nothing the American people respond to in a presidential election more than malaise. Just ask Jimmy Carter!

Hold the malaise on mine. Do you have any grey poupon? Or better yet, wasabi?

@FloraWay: ...anyone who leaves the house like that deserve to be pushed in front a garbage truck.

Now these chicks on the other hand can get the business!

@AngryBlakGuy: Post Hiroshima mutants: why do you depress me so?

Has anyone ever asked if people losing their houses is really that bad? A lot of those people who lost their house had very little equity in them, with maybe even zero down. So it was like they were renting their house, and when housing prices dropped and their mortgage was bigger than the price of the house they bailed, with foreclosures leading to further drop in housing prices.

But housing prices have stabilized, even in the Bay Area (natural bellwether for housing prices, however the hell you spell bellwether ... Googling ... bellwether is correct).

So the economy is going to be fine, I think. But we do need better regulations to avoid highly leveraged risk with no transparency, so the financial services sector doesn't become the pariah of the business community.

@FoggyFroggy: In summary, Barack Obama knows what he's talking about and Hillary is some kind of Communist or something.

@FoggyFroggy: Ben Bernanke?

@FoggyFroggy: Exactly. Reforms to the current regulation system (and the bankruptcy system) as Obama was advocating today. The problem want to hear instant solutions to their own personal burdens, rather than long-term solutions that will help the entire economy.

Plus people listen to Clinton saying that she gives specifics while Obama is just giving "words" and they believe it. I read both of their speeches. Other than noting percentages of people unemployed in NC and other statistical information-- she wasn't much more specific.

I guess it is more reform vs short-term solutions-- and I always vote for reform.

Hills = Katisha...

Does this make Iraq the new Korea?

Japan experienced deflation for eighteen years. Their Sumurai 410-k plans and Bushido mutual funds went down in value. Their land and buildings went down in value. Huge lizards wandered the bay off Edo and giant flying moths terrorized the countryside. Lacking Damascus steel blades for sepuku, responsible ministers defenestrated, switching glibly from Japanese to Roman endgame, as prophesied by James Clavelle.

Shogun Hillsaku seems apprehensive about this kind of future. Dunno why, she's only sixty. Giant lizards won't eat her from professional courtesy.

"filming radioactive giant lizard-based horror films,"

We need more of these! If only Godzilla would step on Dick Cheney!

@Zhubajie: I join you in your great yearning for Godzilla to return and do DC. I don't know about you but half my free time is spent training to ready myself for the Greater Northern Hemisphere co-prosperity sphere. My Iai skills will enable me to protect my loved ones through Zombie Apocalypse (if the prophecies of Shoko Asahara have any credibility at all.) Banzai!
