Good lord, people, who even knew we would be doing this, tonight?! Just think, drinking and watching some crap on the teevee and maybe just cold layin’ down some blogs. Oh yeah right that is just the normal life in America every single day … or it was, before the Economy Collapsed. Anyway, who knows what Walnuts! will do — not wear pants? Pick his nose and wipe it on Jim Lehrer? A vaudeville softshoe? Everything’s possible when you are an absolutely crazy old idiot. MORE »

IS McCAIN TRYING TO SAVE BUILDINGS NOW? “We have breaking news out of Washington, D.C. where a building has partially collapsed. ABC2NEWS.COM has learned that the building that collapsed is unoccupied but it is affecting a building that is occupied.” [ABC 2]

Barney Frank is ANGRY, again, and John McCain better stay away from the portly House Financial Services Committee chairman. He says they’re all working with “serious Republicans” but that obviously means no McCain. Frank’s doing a live press conference, which we would liveblog, but we already did one of those this morning and it’s not even noon. Also, the People are going to start lynching CEOs (which is racist) if there’s not some relief for the common folks, &c. MORE »

Here, on this Wall Street Journal web page featuring this op-ed by Henry Paulson’s wife “John Paulson,” a curious advertisement appeared. It was this one, captured by Wonkette Operative “Evan W.,” so now you know! McCain Wins Debate! He wins by … uh, refusing to even say if he’ll show up! Maverick! And look how he suspended the campaign and all! Jesus christ …. [WSJ]

What’s it take to make this guy, our moronic tool of a president, seem like an ever-so-slightly sympathetic figure? Well, there’s the hilarious global dancing he likes to do, and then there’s John McCain. McCain parachuted into town yesterday and RUINED THE COMPROMISE that was at least going to maybe try to save the economy before it completely collapsed. Let’s see what George Junior has to say, as the stock market opens and plunges. MORE »

There are no more nights in politics or business — only the endless horrible grind of collapse and fuckery, 24 hours a day, including this newest chapter in our latest, greatest depression: Washington Mutual has collapsed, and was closed by the Federal Government late Thursday night. It’s the biggest bank failure in U.S. history. And the bipartisan congressional-White House-Treasury bailout deal that might have stopped the bloodshed, well John McCain visited Washington for the first time in half a year and wrecked EVERYTHING.

We’ve always known, in our hearts, that he was and is Walnuts! You’ve known it, even if you’re not always sure why this is the case. (Here’s why.) And now, finally, from the California GOP itself, here is the ultimate proof that crybaby coward John “Walnuts!” McCain is indeed the one true Walnut. (Click “more” for the big version.) MORE »

TROPICAL STORMS TO FINISH OFF WALL ST., CONGRESS, WHITE HOUSE, ETC. “Tropical Storm Kyle formed in the Atlantic, while a system farther north took aim at Washington, New York and other cities along the U.S. East Coast, forecasters said.” [Bloomberg]

LOL, BARNEY FRANK: After actually making the bailout deal with Chris Dodd, Barney Frank says of McCain’s dumb stunt: “He hasn’t been involved. He doesn’t know anything about it.” [Gawker/CBS]

John McCain’s whole brilliant scheme to bail Sarah Palin out of the debates will only work if his Republican pals refuse to come up with a financial plan for saving America until … enh, Monday or so. But now it looks like everybody is getting on the same page and working together in the spirit of bipartisan compromise and suchlike! This is good, maybe, for America, but bad for Walnuts. MORE »
