    …and another bank goes belly up in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  2. columnv says at 2:51 pm, July 28th, 2008

    u guyz r deep.

  3. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:53 pm, July 28th, 2008

    They’re all gonna laugh at you!

  4. SayItWithWookies says at 2:54 pm, July 28th, 2008

    “Half the companies in the S&P 500 that have given outlooks so far say earnings will fall in the third quarter.”
    Jeeze — how much of this whining about our imaginary depression are we going to have to take?

  5. Serolf Divad says at 2:56 pm, July 28th, 2008

    This sucks! I’ve got $100,000.00 deposits in every FDIC insured bank in America. There’s no secure place left for me to place my assets!

  6. Canuckledragger says at 2:57 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Even in private chats, no mention of assfucking?

    I am SO disappointed!

  7. Serolf Divad:

    And you wonder about why the Bushes are moving to Paraguay?

  8. El Bombastico says at 3:00 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Quit your whining Wall Street! Invest in the Mott’s Corporation! Applesauce futures are going through the roof. The sauce is all the rage in the media, and its been proven safe for senior citizens.

  9. RuperttheBear says at 3:03 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Go to your closets and pray!

  10. gjdodger says at 3:10 pm, July 28th, 2008

    El Bombastico: But what’s the “core” rate of inflation? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

  11. Carrie was so hot.

  12. ColdCupofHope says at 3:12 pm, July 28th, 2008

    This is all mental, right? I still have money in the bank (checking balance… oh shit!). Um, I have to find someplace high to leap from now. Look out below, bitters!

  13. Buffy and Hildegard says at 3:18 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Oh God, McCain is on the tee vee right now telling all Americans to wear sunscreen while standing in front of an oil pumping thingy. God help us if this man becomes president.

  14. freakishlystrong says at 3:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: And the FED will bail it out in 1..2..3..4..

  15. jagorev says at 3:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Are our Wonkette editors on some kind of elitist “Macintosh” computer? Damn limousine liebrals.

  16. freakishlystrong says at 3:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Applesauce? I want Pig’s Blood..

  17. SayItWithWookies says at 3:21 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Buffy and Hildegard: Where is he? I’m just curious to find out where the next hurricane’s gonna hit.

  18. Larry Fine says at 3:22 pm, July 28th, 2008

    If Hopey wins, I’d invest in the new National Drink, Grape Soda.

  19. jagorev says at 3:22 pm, July 28th, 2008

    ColdCupofHope: The poors and bitters have an average BMI of 32. Don’t worry, they’ll cushion your fall.

  20. sanantonerose says at 3:22 pm, July 28th, 2008

    I can see your dirty pillows, Ken Layne.

  21. Buffy and Hildegard says at 3:23 pm, July 28th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: I’m not sure where the heck he was, but I could see that he was standing in the sun without the benefit of an over-sized safari hat or an umbrella — and THAT can’t be a good idea for him.

  22. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:24 pm, July 28th, 2008

    …the scary thing is how many economist believe that the shit-storm has just begun. That whole “stimulus check” gimmick was designed to delay the economic cluster-fukk until AFTER the election. If you think the economy is bad now then just wait until 3rd and 4th quarter numbers come in.

  23. In other news: Intelligence declines on Layne/Newell conversation. :-)

  24. Buffy and Hildegard says at 3:28 pm, July 28th, 2008

    sanantonerose: THOSE aren’t PILLOWS!

  25. Serolf Divad says at 3:29 pm, July 28th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy:

    Here’s a little check list of items you should stock in your basement for just after Bush leaves office:

    [] Canned goods
    [] High powered rifle
    [] Ammunition
    [] Bottled water
    [] Ammunition
    [] Freeze dried NASA peach ice cream
    [] Freeze dried peas
    [] Ammunition
    [] Spring loaded animal traps
    [] Firewood
    [] Ammunition
    [] English-to-Chinese phrasebook
    [] Infra-red goggles
    [] Batteries
    [] Ammunition

  26. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:32 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: …you left out good ‘ol booze and porn!

  27. I got everything except the firewood! But no worries! I can always burn the house down to stay warm!

  28. freakishlystrong says at 3:38 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Q2: Might as well, ‘taint worth nothin’ anyhoo!

  29. ReelectTilden says at 3:39 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Larry Fine: Wise guy, eh?

  30. jagorev says at 3:40 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: a high powered rifle is not a bad idea, but since your most likely target will be rampaging Hilltards protesting a NOOBAMA victory, I think you’ll get better bang for your buck with a 12 gauge shotgun.

  31. WhatTheHeck says at 3:42 pm, July 28th, 2008

    The Fed says there is no depression. There is no inflation…
    …if you don’t take into account the cost of:
    a gallon of gas
    a gallon of milk
    a typical trip to the supermarket
    an average car
    insurance: home, auto, health
    a lap dance.
    Other than those few things, the economy is fine… if you’re a millionaire. HaHaHa.

  32. PrairiePossum says at 3:43 pm, July 28th, 2008

    The GOP believes by scaring Americans into stockpiling guns, ammunition, booze and porn, they can pull the economy out of its nosedive.

    Send out more stimulus checks, STAT!

  33. jagorev: This leads us to the Best Way To Kill Zombies debate. Shotgun wins, hands down. Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 with magazine extension. 12 guage 00 buck.

  34. NedPepper says at 3:52 pm, July 28th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: With the love affair congress has with hearings on inane matters, why no hearings on what is happening with banking and finance in this country. Why are the regulators still in office? They seemed to have regulated and oversighted us into the free soup and sandwich lines. Could it be the pols are in the tank with those fleecing us?

  35. NedPepper says at 3:58 pm, July 28th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: My prediction and you might want to mark and note this is, Nov 18 2008 the wheels are coming off, the large rats have already fled the sink financial ship. We just don’t know it yet.

  36. NedPepper says at 4:07 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Q2: What you want to buy is some ammo if you can find it, for that 12 gauge called dragons breath turns the gauge basically into a small flame thrower, kills everything zombies included.

  37. Volumptuous says at 4:37 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Wall Street shouldn’t be that drunk by 3PM

  38. SedatedGodzilla says at 10:04 am, July 29th, 2008

    Chatlogs are lame
