Where's my bail out?


First the banks, then the insurance companies, then big auto, housing, commercial real estate. Homeowners. Cat Lovers. Larry Flint says that the libido of the american citizen needs a lift and wants a porn bail out. The Arts. Manufacturers want to make sure that they can keep getting cheap off shore textiles and I see that they have their collective mitts out.   There is a new NASDAQ index for TARP recipients that is already sinking unfortunately.  But it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that they are far more takers than we have money to lend - so people might want to tighten their belts and figure another way out.

It is also a little depressing to see that Democrats are behaving like the folks across the aisle in so quickly condemning Obama's picks.  Panetta, Gupta, Brennan, etc.  I think that he will get enough crap from Republicans and that Feinstein and Conyers should give the guy a little break for a while.  These picks seem fine to me.  Jeepers!
