Jim Cramer flips out on a CNBC interview and starts yelling about how bad things are for the fixed income market right now. He starts of easy enough with choice bits like
Bernake needs to open the discount window. That’s how bad things are out there. Bernake needs to focus on this.
and
Bernake is being an academic. It is no time to be an academic.
and then completely loses it and screams:
HE HAS NO IDEA OF HOW BAD IT IS OUT THERE! HE HAS NO IDEA! HE HAS NO IDEA! I HAVE TALKED TO THE HEADS OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE FIRMS IN THE LAST 72 HOURS AND HE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IT’S LIKE OUT THERE! NONE! AND BILL POOLE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IT’S LIKE OUT THERE! MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON THE BUSINESS FOR 25 YEARS AND THEY ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS AND THESE FIRMS ARE GONNA GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND HE’S NUTS! THEY’RE NUTS! THEY KNOW NOTHING!
Funny thing is that he’s advocating not a reasonable economy but for the Fed to show up and bail out the financial institutions like Bear Stearns that have gone way over their heads and stand to loose big in the current subprime mortgage meltdown.
Dan Savage comes up with his own modest proposal to replace the abstinence education program.
If you believe that premarital sex is always wrong, Mr. President, then act like it. (Let the liberals laugh about Senator David Vitter, the conservative GOP senator from Louisiana caught up in the “D.C. Madam” scandal. At least Vitter had the decency to wait until after marriage before hiring hookers to diaper him.) The current status quo is unacceptable! We can’t continue to spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to talk teenagers into remaining abstinent while their gonads and hormones implore them to do the opposite.
I am baffled by the absurdity of somebody arguing that we can’t possibly descend from simians because a banana fits perfectly in our hand, so I’ll let them speak for themselves.
Music video from Beyond Re-Animator, hilarious in that unintentional you’re-taking-it-way-too-seriously fashion that the first movie had, performed by someone who makes George Michael look like Clint Eastwood.
Nothing says techno like dancing gay blood-gurgling zombie mimes. Re-Animate Your Feet!
