IndyMac Bank seized by federal regulators - Los Angeles Times
IndyMac, which once employed 10,000, fell prey to a classic run on the bank, and regulators singled out Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) as having helped to fuel massive withdrawals. On June 26, Schumer said in letters to the FDIC, the OTS and two other federal agencies that IndyMac might have 'serious problems' with its loan holdings."
Senator Schumer caused the run?
The democrat .....?
I'm bettin' ya didn't hear that on your 6:00 news.
Dang, if he'd have been a GOPer they would have had screaming "SPECIAL REPORTS"!

Antioch faculty to keep teaching as school closes
"Antioch College, founded in 1852, doesn't grade classes, encourages students to develop their own study plans and combines academic learning with experience through a co-op program in which students leave campus to work in various fields."

Who'd of guessed?

Okay, toddlers who don't like foreign food are racists.
Non-Muslim kids who won't kneel to Allah are bigots.
Tall shrubs for gay swingers are a civil right.
And Al Qaeda's 'Ambassador in Europe' lives in a million and half dollar house and enjoys nearly $100K in government benefits.
That whirring sound you hear is Winston Churchill in his grave."

Condemn And Remove Congressman Murtha
Condemn And Remove Congressman Murtha
"Murtha has a long history of sleaziness as a congressman. The late 1970s FBI Abscan sting operation has a tape of him and FBI agents posing as middle-eastern businessmen discussing a $50,000 bribe for political favors. He said on the tape 'you know we do business for awhile, maybe I'll be interested.'
The Citizens Against Waste voted Murtha as the Top Porker of the Year in 2007.
These shenanigans indicate a less than honorable character but pales in comparison to his besmirching our troops in a time of war."

"Holly Hughes in Muskegon is trying to do that, in her way with an open house at her headquarters on Norton across from Meijers, You’ll see her banner out front today between 5-7pm. See my side bar under “calendar of events” This is what I’d like to talk up with the Muskegon County Republican Party. Perhaps do it on my own some how. I’m thinking a picnic type of thing. If you have any ideas, comment on any of my posts, or come to one of the early morning coffees listed in the side bar under “Calendar of Events”. I realize this is naïve and a bit fanciful, but if others will join me perhaps it will seem a little less naïve and less of a fantasy."

George F. Will and beer?
"Beer is a health food.
So let there be no more loose talk -- especially not now, with summer arriving -- about beer not being essential. Benjamin Franklin was, as usual, on to something when he said, 'Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.' Or, less judgmentally, and for secular people who favor a wall of separation between church and tavern, beer is evidence that nature wants us to be."

OPEC's "Thank you America!"
An e-mail i just received from Susie!
OPEC's Thank You Note to the U.S. Congress
Dear Infidels:
The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say, "We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant, you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy.
We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!
While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tar sands.
We know if you did this, it would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you infidels.
Thanks for limiting defense department purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.
Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.
Thank you for caving into environmentalist whackos by limiting drilling off shore, in Alaska, or anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better humans suffer and you get re-elected. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.
More refineries?
Nuclear power?
Both bad ideas.
Corn based Ethanol?
This sham is a gift from Allah. It uses more energy than it produces and simultaneously drives up food prices.
Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name!
We never would have thought of this one!
This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive up food prices.
Thank you, U.S. Congress!
And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end.
You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies.
We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for our benefit.
"THANK YOU, AMERICA!"
You stupid fools!
Praise Allah!
