Here’s a thought.
This is not a “Wall Street bailout”.The banking giants FannieMae, LehmanBros, Wachovia, MorganStanley, etc,etc,etc, have all either withered and died, or have been gobbled up by other banking giants for pennies on the dollar by now.This is no longer an effort to keep a large number of super rich investment banks and insurance companies like AIG afloat. It’s too late for that now.What this is, at this point, is a plan to spread around 700 billion in capital to all the still functioning lenders, so that they will have money to hand out credit ie loans to everyone under the sun, and in doing so keeping the economy afloat.No credit means no car loans, no new mortgages, no new business ventures, no home improvements, and etc,etc.The economy is based on lending and loans. Without it, the economy dies.Question is, now that were not investing this 700 billion into direct, palpable companies like we did with BearStearns, where EXACTLY is this 700 billion going to?No financial analysts have answered this important question.This money is going to be pumped into literally thousands of different banks across the nation.

The eight years of Bush, six of them with Republican congressional majorities, are always blameless. The truth is this crisis is solely the result of the Bush administration’s failure to regulate the explosion of derivative investments that turned our capital markets into crap. http://www.unregulatedleverage.org/.

A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers’ blood.
A finger fired the trigger to his name.
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man’s brain
But he can’t be blamed
He’s only a pawn in their game.
A South politician preaches to the poor white man,
“You got more than the blacks, don’t complain.
You’re better than them, you been born with white skin,” they explain.
And the Negro’s name
Is used it is plain
For the politician’s gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid,
And the marshals and cops get the same,
But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool.
He’s taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
‘Bout the shape that he’s in
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks,
And the hoof beats pound in his brain.
And he’s taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide ‘neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain’t got no name
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He’ll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.

FOX News Is Ignoring Reports About Palin’s Extramarital Affair
Reported by Ellen – September 26,
When the National Enquirer broke the news a few months ago about John Edwards’ extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, there was a steady stream of stories and discussions about it on FOX News although Edwards was no longer a candidate by then. Yet FOX News has been ignoring the same tabloid’s report about an extramarital affair between current vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her husband’s former business partner, Brad Hanson.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, the McCain campaign has threatened legal action against the Enquirer. But the Enquirer says it has three sources from Hanson’s family, including one who signed a sworn affidavit, and has published the story.
Pretty juicy stuff, eh? Just the kind of thing that FOX News couldn’t get enough of when it involved Democrat John Edwards. Hannity & Colmes even devoted a full show to his scandal (plus more segments in other shows). On August 8, 2008, Sean Hannity said, “I applaud the Enquirer” for investigating Edwards because “He’s running for president… He’s a contender for vice president or was.” But here we have an actual vice presidential candidate and… silence.
