Animals

During the Katrina disaster, victims were perceived as criminal vermin by media, law enforcement, and the military. It was never quite clear how starving people would get very far swimming down the road with big screen TVs, but for a time that concern was seen as more important than people simply trying to eat or drink fresh water.

Wanker of the Day

Andrew Malcolm.

 
I CRASHED THE MARKET

Not really, of course, but people had made convincing case that that the housing numbers were going to be much much worse than expected. And they were!

 
Bringing In The Bucks

An energy innovation hub at the Navy Yard sounds cool. You know what else would be innovative? Extending the subway to the Navy Yard.

 
Perhaps You Should Start Listening To Some New People

Krugman reminds us of that crucial misstep, when the administration economic advisers were spooked by sasquatch invisible bond vigilantes and pivoted from stimulus to CUT SPENDING OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.

Maybe some people should recognize that they suck and should retire. Maybe before the election?

 
Shovel Ready

Yes I'm sure that if the government tried hard enough, they could borrow a bunch of money at 2.5% and figure out some crazy ways to spend it.

 
Kick Their Ass And Take Their Gas

We should probably just put Pete Peterson and T. Boone Pickens in charge of everything and the rest of us can get back to our lives..

 
They Ran The World

One of the incredibly frustrating things during the Bush years was that people who were incompetent buffoons at best and transparently evil liars at worst were treated as Very Serious People.

 
Nobody Could Have Predicted

And on and on...

Sales of previously owned U.S. homes dropped more steeply than expected in July to their lowest pace in 15 years, an industry group said Tuesday, implying further loss of momentum in the economic recovery.

The National Association of Realtors said sales dropped a record 27.2 percent from June to an annual rate of 3.83 million units, the lowest level since May 1995. June's sales pace was revised down to a 5.26 million-unit pace.

The expectation was 4.7 million.

 
Beware Of The Bond Vigilantes

10-year Treasury at 2.51. As I keep saying, at rates this low it's a crime not to borrow crazy amounts and spend it on SUPERTRAINS and fixing bridges and whatnot.

 
Only A Stock Market Crash Can Save Us Now

I'm guessing the same people who think the cure for a recession is a long spell of mass unemployment don't actually think that a falling stock market is a good idea. Labor should feel the hangover, but not the mighty capitalists with their Galtian splendor.

No I don't really want any bad news, but some kinds of bad news might spur some action. The kind of bad news that doesn't spur action? 15.6% unemployment among African-Americans.

 
Decades Of Crazy Right Wingers Appointing Crazier Right Wingers

I don't know, but likely that's the untold story of the Fed.

But they're all very serious people!

 
Morning

Listening to Digby on Virtually Speaking. She has a wonderful radio voice. Also, what Digby said.
