It's the Economy, Stupid
Author: BobR
Date: 10/22/2008 12:29:35
John McCain says he wants to focus on the economy. All research shows that the electorate trusts Obama on the economy more than McCain. So if talking about the economy helps Obama, and that's what McCain wants to talk about, let's do it! Cue the organ music as we enter the Big Top of this 3 ring circus...
In the first ring, we have the stock market. Despite the bailout rescue package, there are still fears about a recession. The futures market is a good indication of where Wall St. thinks the market is headed, and it fell 250 points:
Over here in the center ring, we have the world markets. While our military strength is ebbing, we still have the power to create a global recession. That's pretty impressive, right?
The "silver lining" in all this?
The dollar: as seemingly worthless as the paper it's printed on, and yet, it's headed back up. That's bad news for those that invested recently in gold though...
Over in the third ring we have - yes, you guessed it - yet another proposed economic stimulus package being debated by our fine elected leaders:
So the Republicans want people to be able to dump all their stocks without having to pay taxes on the profits? How's THAT going to help the stock market? Besides - how many people struggling in this economy have stocks (or rental properties) to sell anyway? Oh yeah - the rich. Are you surprised?
As we exit the circus tent, it seems that the lurching extremes and the waves of fear have settled down, but the ripples are still flowing around the planet. The bubble has burst, and we'll have this economic malaise for a few years until the balloon is patched up, and we can start inflating it again.
With Democrats in charge, perhaps we can get some regulations back in there so that the balloon is kept under control... this time.
13 Days.
In the first ring, we have the stock market. Despite the bailout rescue package, there are still fears about a recession. The futures market is a good indication of where Wall St. thinks the market is headed, and it fell 250 points:
Wall Street headed for a sharply lower open Wednesday as investors again shifted their focus away from improving credit markets and fixated on corporate earnings that are raising worries about a deep and protracted recession. Ahead of the market's open, Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 250, or 2.76 percent, to 8,785.
On Tuesday, the Dow retreated 231 points after forecasts from DuPont Co., Sun Microsystems Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. raised fears that companies' outlooks for the fourth quarter and beyond could signal a severe economic downturn.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index futures fell 32.80, or 3.42 percent, to 926.50, and the Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 25.50, or 1.97 percent, to 1,267.00
While reduced strains in world credit markets have eased some investors' nervousness about the economy, market anxiety remains high as hundreds of companies this week release third-quarter earnings and in some cases fourth-quarter forecasts that offer a glimpse of the rough conditions that may lay ahead.
Over here in the center ring, we have the world markets. While our military strength is ebbing, we still have the power to create a global recession. That's pretty impressive, right?
Stock markets around the world fell sharply again on Wednesday after concerns about economic recession and falling commodity prices were fueled by a fresh spate of gloomy corporate earnings.
Emerging markets were hardest hit by the global retreat and the fresh commodity pressure, with the U.S. dollar and government bonds the big gainers.
MSCI's main index of emerging equities fell some 4.5 percent to its lowest level since June 2005, sharply underperforming the 2.45 percent loss in MSCI's index of world stock markets.
Global miner BHP Billiton warned on Wednesday that Chinese demand was set to weaken, echoing concerns last week from rival and takeover target Rio Tinto.
China said on Monday its annual economic growth fell to 9 percent in the third quarter from 10.1 percent previously and that factory output in September was at a six-year low.
"There is an increase in risk aversion. The emerging market world appears to be starting to collapse; that means it'll be much more difficult for the global economy to recover," said Peter Mueller, rates strategist at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
Commodity price losses mounted everywhere. U.S. crude oil futures fell under $70 per barrel and London copper futures were down almost 4 percent to their weakest since December 2005.
The "silver lining" in all this?
The commodity slide and emerging markets retreat all helped boost the U.S. dollar to two year highs, while gold prices fell to their lowest in over a month.
The dollar: as seemingly worthless as the paper it's printed on, and yet, it's headed back up. That's bad news for those that invested recently in gold though...
Over in the third ring we have - yes, you guessed it - yet another proposed economic stimulus package being debated by our fine elected leaders:
...Democrats have been pushing for a second stimulus package for months. Many of their proposals have featured direct cash assistance, while Republican plans have been focused more on providing tax incentives and tax breaks.
Among the proposals from Democrats: extend jobless benefits, increase food stamps and invest more money in infrastructure projects to create jobs in the near term.
Critics of the infrastructure spending idea say it takes too long to work as economic stimulus. But proponents say it can create jobs if the money is put toward projects that are ready to go but for the funding.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials estimates that $18.3 billion worth of such projects are pending.
[...]
Republicans would prefer that stimulus measures include more tax breaks than direct payments. Among them: a temporary reduction or elimination of the capital gains tax on stocks and lower income tax rates for companies that buy distressed assets.
House Republicans are also calling for purchasers of homes that are not primary residences to be entitled to the same capital gains exclusion as owners who sell their primary residences. Currently, a single homeowner can exclude $250,000 of capital gains on a sale, while couples can exclude $500,000.
So the Republicans want people to be able to dump all their stocks without having to pay taxes on the profits? How's THAT going to help the stock market? Besides - how many people struggling in this economy have stocks (or rental properties) to sell anyway? Oh yeah - the rich. Are you surprised?
As we exit the circus tent, it seems that the lurching extremes and the waves of fear have settled down, but the ripples are still flowing around the planet. The bubble has burst, and we'll have this economic malaise for a few years until the balloon is patched up, and we can start inflating it again.

Oh man.. my boss was just tellin me about the RI Hospitality meeting yesterday. Industry's down 3% so far this year, due to lack of business travel and bad planning (meaning they opened a bunch of new hotels and expected the beds to get filled). There was a job fair for a new Hampton Inn down here the other day - 5 thousand people showed up to apply for 50 jobs.
And the unemployment rate.. what the heck man we're further in the shitter than Michigan now. And of course our douche nozzle of a governor "Don" Carcieri comes on the teevee this morning and says "well I got 20k jobs on the roll in my first term and they're still going" HEY DUMBASS WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 30K WE'VE LOST?!

We still have to go through all the candidates and mark off each one.
Oh, and no on 1 (eliminate state tax) and yes on 2 and 3 (legalize pot, end dog racing)

Well...it does seem to be a faith-based pharmacy, so I suppose that's within their rights.
Caritas Health, the former hospital arm of the Boston Archdiocese, does not provide abortion services in any of their 4 hospitals in the city. (of course, you can go across the street and have one); they famously fought for the right to deny abortion coverage under their employee health plan but ran afoul of state law and reluctantly provide it.
Catholic Charities in this state also stopped providing adoption services, rather than comply with state law and allow same-sex couples to adopt.

From DCRTV
4 More For O'Reilly At Fox - 10/22 - Howie Kurtz tells us that Fox News carnival barker Bill O'Reilly, who can't seem to get his low-rated radio show back on DC's airwaves, has signed for another four years on TV. At $10 million per year. In the Washington Post. Also, there are reports that O'Reilly will pull the plug on his slumping radio show early next year, when his deal with syndicator Westwood One is up.....

Notable Quotables - 10/21 - "His girlfriend, er, his grandmother... that he threw under the bus... has a broken hip." Rush Limbaugh via Citadel's WMAL today about Barack Obama leaving the campaign trail to visit his ailing grandmother in Hawaii. Oh, the NY Post says it made a mistake when it reported that Michelle Obama had "lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria" - when she didn't stay there. Limbaugh was quick to report the original item numerous times on his WMAL show, but has been silent on a like correction.....

Huh. No such animal around here....there are a couple of Dunk's established inside some Stop & Shop supermarkets, but otherwise it's a freestanding item here.
Oh, and having had a "Donut" in Lake Worth, I can attest that the donuts that Dunk's is selling in the South are not the same as the New England donut. They're rather anemic looking and the flavor and frosting coverage is off. (Hell, they didn't even carry the same coffee....at that same Dunk's, I ordered a "large dark roast, regular" and was rewarded with a blank look until the manager came over and said "You're from up north; we don't carry the same stuff as you do.")

For whatever reason, Florida unlike Massachusetts and Southern California is not big donut country. you can get them, but there aren't any mom and pop donut places owned by Koreans.
Of course the best donuts, ever are from Montgomery Doughnuts in lovely Montgomery County, Maryland. They are huge, fresh and well frosted. Plus they make bear claws to die for.

There is dog racing in Mass? I did not know that. There are three dog tracks around here. One in Duval, one in St Johns and one in Clay county. The St Johns dog track makes most of its money from the poker room these days. The one in Clay has closed circuit TV and parimutuel on other stuff besides hounds (horses, jai lai), I don't know what the Duval track offers. I don't think people got for the dog races.

She gets that "oh here we go again" partial eye-roll expression on her face. She's used to him getting confused at the breakfast table in the morning, but no one is around to see it happen. It's a shame - he used to be fun, but with adult diapers and alzheimer's drugs on the horizon, she wonders how she ended up here? She looks in the mirror and thinks "I still have it going on - if he 'accidentally' rolls over and suffocates on his own pillow, I can find someone who will want to make me breakfast and wipe MY ass when I get too befuddled to do it myself..."
Then she hears the crowd and knows it's time to clap. "Flash that smile", she says to herself while looking at his cancer scar. "Not much longer..."

That is because MoDo's exudes self confidence. They don't need to no stinkin' self promotion on a TV show. Nor do they need a freakishly out-sized "coffee roll" to compensate for an obvious lack in other areas. No friends, when you have had the heaven on earth perfection of a MoDo's chocolate or blue berry donut you needed brag.

(I don't recall Montgomery Donuts being on the show...) :whistling:
That is because MoDo's exudes self confidence. They don't need to no stinkin' self promotion on a TV show. Nor do they need a freakishly out-sized "coffee roll" to compensate for an obvious lack in other areas. No friends, when you have had the heaven on earth perfection of a MoDo's chocolate or blue berry donut you needed brag.

au contraire, it's because Montgomery's is small and unknown (except to the locals).
Anything we do in Boston creates a national precedent.
(I saw the show too, that's why I'm itching for a Kane's run. It is closer than the Tim Horton's referenced below...)

And that's the trouble with having a 'donut-off'. They're too far away from each other. Unless we air-freight them, by the time we get to the tasting site, both will be stale.

Side note:
Some weeks ago now, I emailed both the Obama and McCain campaigns to ask what their respective stands were on supporting the BSA, despite it's discriminatory and homophobic stand. Specifically, I asked both campaigns if their candidate would refuse honorary chairmanship of the Boy Scouts (which the President usually holds as a matter of course) unless and until they changed policy.
Senator Obama's campaign just sent me a standard boilerplate response, listing his record and positions on LGBT rights. (Form letter, but at least a response.)
I'm still waiting to hear from the Senator from Arizona.

Bright ethical leaders for a new generation
Saint Anselm is located on a hilltop overlooking Manchester, N.H., within an hour of the seacoast, Boston, the White Mountains, and New Hampshire's Lakes Region.
Founded in 1889 by the world's oldest religious order, the Benedictines—a Catholic order that has endured and thrived for more than 1,500 years—we have spent 118 years shaping an academic community designed to meet your expectations.
Whether you want to be a doctor, teacher, nurse, or lawyer; start your own business or make films—or you simply know you want to make a difference and you want to figure out the best way to do it, Saint Anselm will give you the options, experience, and mentors to connect, solve, to serve, lead and especially to do the right thing.
Named one of the country's "Colleges with a Conscience" by The Princeton Review, Saint Anselm shapes the kind of leader the world is hungry for; not only smart, but good. We invite you to be one of them.

McCain throws LIEberman under the straight talk express.
Lesse... Poppy Bush, VP, Jack Kemp, VP, Al Gore, VP, Joe LIEberman, VP, John Edwards, VP, Dick Cheney VP, Walter Mondale VP...
Let's forget Dan Quayle, and go with the analogy...
John McCain called out fellow Republicans who have questioned running mate Sarah Palin’s credentials Tuesday.
“What’s their problem?” McCain asked during an interview with radio host Don Imus.
“She is a governor, the most popular governor in America,” McCain said. “I think she is the most qualified of any that has run recently for vice president.”

Gov. Palin has no control over the Alaska tax rebate. It was established by an act of Congress in 1976 as one of the conditions for building the pipeline.
It's paid dividends since 1982; most Alaskans count on that as a significant portion of their annual income...

Serve 35 years in the United States Senate and say you’ve got to divide Iraq into three different countries, or be governor of a state and a reformer and give people their tax dollars back and bring about reform in the way that your state does business? Which is better?”

Interesting, at the VERY least! About Sarah's 'personal Shopper'
Does the name Jeff Larson sound familiar? It should. Larson is the Karl Rove protégé who’s a principal in the robocalling firm of FLS Connect (the “FLS” stands for Tony Feather, Jeff Larson, and Tom Syndhorst, all veteran Republican political operatives). Larson’s firm is the same one that launched the scurrilous robocalls against John McCain in 2000, and that McCain has now hired to make robocalls connecting Barack Obama to Bill Ayers. He’s also well known in Minnesota for leasing his basement apartment at a steeply discounted rate to embattled Republican Senator Norm Coleman. Evidently, Larson also has quite the eye for women’s fashion. Even hateful liberals would have to admit that Palin dresses awfully nicely.

Methinks this doesn't bode well; as Coca-Cola always said, 'you run taste tests when you're #2'.
But then again, it's not much of a contest; Dunkin Donut's coffee tastes like coffee, but Starbucks tastes like it was condensed from a stinking draught that blew through a slaughterhouse...

BTW that wasn't on the doughnut fire, it was on the coffee fire. If you were a White Person, your choice would be neither Dunkie's or Starbucks. It would be the locally owned coffee roaster that has both free trade and organic coffees. I give you Stuff White People Like #1 Coffee.

He yelled at Rach, he insulted her... he said she was talking fast becuase she knows she is wrong... saying that sarah is attractive intelligent and decisive...

Well, I'd say Dunkin Donut's is more "stuff New Englanders like". Washington, DC is the dividing line, not many Dunk's south of that.
My dear aunt has a "get-rich-quick" scheme that involves a Dunkin Donut's franchise in the Lumberton/Fayettville area (Halfway between Boston and West Palm Beach). I think we'd rake in the bucks there...

Just back from work! WTF? Is McCain totally off his meds? Did he say "cunt"? This is what I'm hearing.
Did he also tell Western PA's that he agree's that they are racist, etc.

I liked what happened to Zak. It seemed like a logical ending for me. I am not critic, mind you. )
(you should know I like endings that makes sense. That was why I liked the story. ) I agree that the ending seemed 'rushed' but I still like it.

A story:
Katie Couric: When was the last time you cried and why?
Barack Obama: This one is actually easy. It was Malia, my 10-year-old daughter's, birthday party.
We were in Montana. And you know, she's a Fourth of July baby. So often times, during this campaign, we'd be traveling during birthdays. And so we were in this small hotel, I think a Holiday Inn, and we had this big public thing.
The staff organized for a smaller family party. And we were in this little, non-descript conference room, with Malia and Sasha, Michelle, me, my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece. And there was a cake. And there was some food, which wasn't, you know, stellar. And the staff had put together an iPod of all of her favorite music: The Jonas Brothers and Beyonce. And we just spent the evening just dancing. And we were all dancing to their favorite songs. And they were laughing because, you know, obviously their daddy's dancing is ridiculous. And Malia came up and said, "This is the best birthday I've ever had."
And she meant it. And I looked at her and I realized, you know, that she was growing up. And that she was wise, and turning out to be somebody who would say that to her Dad even if she didn't mean it, just to make me feel good.
And yeah, it chokes me up right now talking about it. Yeah, my kids can get to me every time.

OK... I just heard a pundit whine that the same tough questions (cough) asked of Sarah Palin are not being asked of the 'other candidates'
Uhm... The questions they are asking of Sarah are basic SIMPLE questions.
Joe biden would simply blow people away. Sarah is getting asked High school questions., Biden is in a PHD course.
Silly season, these knuckleheads REALLY want the media to ask Joe the same questions that Sarah is getting? Really?REALLy?

I grew up on my mom's coffee, and that was handed down to her from grandma's off-the-boat recipe, so lemme give my take on it..
Dunkin tastes like someone forgot a couple scoops in the pot. Starbucks tastes like Grandpa made the pot (extra scoop, not enough water) and left the percolator plugged in too long. :rofl:

Oh dear, more fuel on the donut fire.
Don't know if you saw the ad, but we just had a "Dunkin Donuts coffee beat Starbucks" ad here in the Boston market.
Methinks this doesn't bode well; as Coca-Cola always said, 'you run taste tests when you're #2'.
But then again, it's not much of a contest; Dunkin Donut's coffee tastes like coffee, but Starbucks tastes like it was condensed from a stinking draught that blew through a slaughterhouse...
