DAILY BRIEFING

Nation Of Impoverished Unemployed Mortgage Frauds

  • Hurrah, we will all be unemployed through 2009. And nobody will give us credit cards to fund our freewheelin’ lifestyles. [New York Times]
  • The Supreme Court child-rape majority ruling that cited “evolving standards of decency” overlooked the military justice system. [New York Times]
  • Barack Obama joins the ranks of Democratic fat cats who enjoyed cheap mortgages. [Washington Post]
  • Somebody on the Obama team must be floating the name of Kathleen Sebelius pretty damn hard, because suddenly she is everywhere. [The Hill]
  • John McCain’s campaign lacks organization, funds, and a consistent message. Besides that, he’s totally got this thing wired. [Politico]

    Hey y’all! I’m a democratic fatcat, too! I refinanced my majestic estate (worth WELL over $100,000) in late ‘04 for 5.5-something! But I’m totally in Rezco’s pocket.

    John McCain is not lacking in that one key aspect of presidential campaigning: media people who want to lick his balls.

    But it’s not deregulation or supply side economics that’s to blame for US America’s woes. As long as the rich are okay then everything is wonderful in US America, right?

    Rezco is obviously Tony Rezko’s sketchy white trash cousin. Learn to spell, bitch.

    All I know is this: I’m glad I stocked up on debt before there were shortages. Nothing’s worse than waiting hours in line and only being able to get a one little container of red ink for $39/yr and 18.99% interest.

    Jeebus Krispy Kremes, but could that NYT article be any more depressing? As it stands now, the economy is just one floatie away from being flushed down the proverbial shitter. Gah!

  7. RuperttheBear says at 9:36 am, July 2nd, 2008

    “As someone who has run campaigns, this campaign is not running smoothly. But none of this matters if they get their act together.”

    BBZZZAAAK! Captain Obvious strikes again!

    Kathleen Sibelius can deliver Kansas. Put it over there, by Guam.

  9. PoliticalGraffiti says at 10:08 am, July 2nd, 2008

    well forget this job search im on then! time for alcoholism

  10. Thank you, SKS. Good gloom; just what I need to start my 4th of July weekend.

  11. Mahousu says at 10:41 am, July 2nd, 2008

    WadISay: Transport Kansas to the tropics? Good move; that would make Christmas visits to the relatives more pleasant.

  12. Mr.BorgtoYou says at 11:29 am, July 2nd, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: George W Bush’s economy is a floatie, Ha! What an image.

  13. Texan Bulldoggette says at 11:38 am, July 2nd, 2008

    Sorry, but putting Kathy S. on the ticket is too much damn change for America at one time (even HRC). Can you imagine the conversations in WV, KY, MS, AL, …:

    Redneck 1: Who you voting for this year?
    Redneck 2: Not the colored & the white gel.

    Obama needs to pick him a dull, boring white guy who has been shot at by people of a color other than white.

  14. DemmeFatale says at 11:44 am, July 2nd, 2008

    Sebelius? Really?
    That’s the best you can do?
    Smacks of tokenism, Barry.

  15. Son of Mark Penn says at 11:56 am, July 2nd, 2008

    That Washington Post article is terrible. Obama got a .3% better than average rate for a mortage. Won’t Barrack Obama apologize for having a better than average credit score???

  16. Aurelio says at 1:19 pm, July 2nd, 2008

    Kathleen Sebelius is not hot enough. I hope he doesn’t pick her. I want someone hot to look at on the teevee.

  17. floraway says at 1:36 pm, July 2nd, 2008

    Son of Mark Penn: Poblano said essentially the same thing:

    What does all this banter really say about our nation?

    I mean ‘rreeeeeallllyy say’??

    Well I think ATT nailed it.

    ATT, the same guys our Supreme Court wants to ‘protect’, and the same guys our very own Congress is selling us all out for, is now running a commercial where they feel the need to have a real dog dragging its ass along the carpet for several feet, to get our attention and sell us …shit.

    God I am so proud fucking of this country!
    And will surely think of those ATT patriots this 4th of July, along with that poor patriotic dog who was likely tortured and forced to drag his little ass, all in the line of duty.

  19. AxmxZ says at 3:19 pm, July 2nd, 2008

    That uppity ghetto Nigra, with his and his baby mama’s half a million in annual income, and his 2.27 million dollar book deal, and his fancy-ass Harvard degree, and aversion to credit card debt, getting a 5.65% mortgage… his FICO score should be in single digits! HE’S BLACK, PEOPLE!!! BLACK PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE GOOD CREDIT - THEY SEND ALL THEIR MONEY ON CRACK AND HOOCH!!

  20. boomer says at 4:06 pm, July 2nd, 2008

    If being elected to Congress cannot get you preferential mortgage rates and/or below market rent on basement apartments, what’s the point?

  21. Cicada says at 6:21 pm, July 2nd, 2008

    Sebelius pretty much rocks. She’s got tons of experience, she’s popular in the heartland, and she stood up to the Intelligent Design idjits. She’s a female version of Ted Strickland. If she had a penis, everyone would be loving on her. Of course, her vagina will somehow enrage the Hillary supporters who feel that their chosen vagina is the only vagina that should be VP, so I doubt she’ll get it.

    Ha-ha, the weird bitter fruits of “feminism”.
