    I think this headline in the Times is certainly appropriate:

    A Year-Round Summer Place: Make your uninsulated house comfortable for winter use

    …because you’re living there now, suckas!

  8. Holy SHIT, is that supposed to be kid from The Omen?! Have the Chinese have already begun re-filming our movies? What’s next, are they going to start covertly attempting to show us up in the next space race while everyone in America is too busy divesting all of their savings, burying their money in their backyards, and stocking up on canned goods and that ice-cream flavored powder stuff that astronauts eat? Oh, wait…

  9. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 3:05 am, September 26th, 2008

    It’s a beautiful illustration of the new close relationship between regulatory agencies (left) and Wall Street (right).

  12. All I know is my 401k is losing about the amount of my yearly income for each of the last two weeks. I am not amused. I desparately need a reason to think of Whore Diamonds right now.

    Breaking News: Beavers Fuck Trojans in Writhing Late Turnover

    (Trojans) coach Pete Carroll said. “They didn’t hide what they were doing, they just did it. We couldn’t stop it…”

    “It’s who plays hard,” Rodgers said.

    “…everybody, every position. There’s not need to point fingers,” Sanchez said.

    “The Beavers certainly seemed to have the Trojans figured out, holding them…”

    - By ANNE M. PETERSON, AP Sports Writer

    Your taste of the Beav. “They Are Coming.”

    Thank you.

    Face it fellahs. Soon we’ll all either be working for Microsoft or Apple, or cleaning house for the nice Chinese couple in that new gated community on the other side of town.

  21. Hunter Gathers says at 5:22 am, September 26th, 2008

    Leave it to Walnuts to destroy the economy. Today just might be the shitstorm to end all shitstorms. The market is not going to be happy. People are going to be pulling thier money out like fucking crazy in about 4 hours. All the house GOPers walked out because thier plan was bullshit (eliminate the capitol gains tax! remove what regulations that are left!). That and they are scared of Grover ‘Pig Fucker’ Norquist. I may not like the idea of a bailout, but it has to happen, and soon. If the credit market seizes up, alot of people are going to get fucked in the ass. Like the poor bastards at WaMu who are going on the dole later today. God help us all.
    Hey Johnny Mac - GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.

  22. The Hispanic Buddy Holly says at 5:49 am, September 26th, 2008

    Hunter Gathers: When Republicans get together lots of people get fucked in the ass regardless of the situation (especially each other).

  23. bago: soup?

  24. SisterTruth says at 6:59 am, September 26th, 2008

    i usually love wonkette, but this racism is not funny and beneath the quality of this site.

  25. SisterTruth: RACIST!!!

  26. As long as those inscrutable celestials keep buying Australian rocks, I’m very happy to have pulled all of my money out of the US last year and fully invest it here in kangaroos and Men At Work albums.

  27. Bless his heart, look at the ears on that child.

  28. teebob2000 says at 7:21 am, September 26th, 2008

    I think probably Mandarin, Hindi and Russian, so we can properly understand and obey ALL our new 21st century financial overlords.

  29. Hunter Gathers says at 7:28 am, September 26th, 2008

    teebob2000: We are going to have to learn Martian. On Monday, our new Martian overlords will come down and purchace the entire country for a pittance. M. A. R. S. Mars, bitches.

  30. WE MUST DESTROY AMERICA TO SAVE ME

    Wakarimasa - wah-care-ee-ma-sah… oh, hell, that’s Japanese. Does anybody know where I can get a Chinese dictionary? I really want to make a good impression when they get here. It could mean the difference between working at a fertilizer processing plant or carrying the bags at a Hotel Xi-Cheng.

    Is it dogs or cats that they like better? (No, not as pets. Bear with me.)

  32. I’m going towade into Mexico, and maybe get a nice job harvesting agave. Or weed.

  33. Cape Clod says at 8:27 am, September 26th, 2008

    Hunter Gathers: Funny you should say that. Yesterday, Mars bought the Wrigley company.

  34. rocktonsammy says at 8:39 am, September 26th, 2008

    I think I’m ready to sell my baseball cards now!!

  35. There’s an HSBC in the lobby of my building. I’m a gonna go down there now and open an account. From now on I’m skipping the middle-man and going straight to Hong Kong.

  36. Ngoh gokdak leihdeih yinggoi hohk poutungwaa. Guangdongwaa haih taai sanfu hohk la!!

  37. sanantonerose says at 9:37 am, September 26th, 2008

    I want to know which marketing genius came up with that lame ass and sexually charged “feel the whoo hoo!” trademarked phrase.

    This was an early indication of supreme FAIL.

  38. I for one welcome our preteen Chinese overlords.

  39. comradepaulson says at 10:52 am, September 26th, 2008

    The Chinese Olympic Gymnastics Team bought Wamu?

  40. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:20 am, September 26th, 2008

    comradepaulson: Thankfully, there are no age restrictions on corporate takeovers.

  41. Deepthroat says at 1:22 pm, September 26th, 2008

    wow. just… wow. I am officially shitting my pants

  42. regisgoat says at 1:50 pm, September 28th, 2008

    sanantonerose: I wanted to find this person and beat them with a sock full of grapefruits. I hope the marketing genius is drenched with alcohol this Sunday, thinking of his terrible, terrible assholry in selling the image of this funzoid bank that turned out to be so utterly inept. Say, maybe they should have let the old fusty bald conservative bankers run their fucking joke of a bank instead of the young hip guy who was like a bleached Dave Chappelle. What a chumpion I was to have banked with these dickheads for as long as I did.

  43. Ergh. Same here. And they’d NEVER raise my overdraft amount?!…oh.
