The Scott Brown Rally

Well, here it is- the business world's response to the great teabag victory in Massachusetts:









And here I thought that they were going to jump for joy when a hard core member of the dishonest, lying, incompetent political party that nearly drove us off a cliff a year ago won a Senate race.

I hope you are enjoying that, conservatives. You may be able to sucker the voters of Massachusetts, but apparently the boys on Wall Street aren't quite so stupid.

Lol, I love how you attribute the most random things to conservatives. It was kinda gloomy today in Columbus, was that Scott Brown's fault too? It couldn't be because China clamped down on bank lending and 4Q profits are falling short, could it? On top of housing sales falling in December and new housing starts declining as well.

If there's on thing I've learned in the past fateful year, it's that the gambler's mentality that characterizes 'money-workers', is primitive, superstitious, atavistic, irrational. "Reasons" Derek, are not nearly so influential as "feelings' for these types. And today they were feeling that Scott-Brown-the Teabagger's success indicated a world going topsy-turvy again.

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Not many "feel" their way around wallstreet. Those who buy and sell don't "feel", they research. You might be superstitious about your finances, but the markets are driven by key factors, and in the past couple days those factors look terrible.

"the Teabagger's success indicated a world going topsy-turvy again."

Because the Democrats for the past three years has worked out fantastic.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
