Keith Olbermann: Eight Years of Bush

God I love Keith Olbermann. One of the few actual liberals in the "librul media".

If the shoe fits

Here's your legacy George... "The Shoe President." Still, you got to admit for a coke addled war criminal who can't pronounce the word nuclear correctly to this day, he has pretty quick reflexes. Must be from all that time spent being a cheerleader in college.

Bush on Al Quaeda not being in Iraq before invasion: "So what?"

So there you have it. It doesn't matter if Al Quaeda wasn't there before King Dubya decided to invade on false pretenses. It doesn't matter that it was a major blow to U.S. credibilty or that 4000 plus soldiers are dead because of it... So what?

Is it January 20th yet? No? Damn it...

Ballot Measure to Name Sewer Plant in San Francisco after George W. Bush

Excerpted from The UK Independent:

Some presidents get carved into Mt Rushmore; others have airports, motorways, and even entire cities named in their honour. But when George Bush leaves office, his most visible memorial may be a mouldering patch of human effluent.

In November, alongside casting their ballot for the next president, the people of San Francisco will also vote on a measure to rename one of the city's largest sewage works the George W Bush Sewage Plant, to provide a "fitting monument" to the outgoing commander-in-chief's achievements.

I hope this passes.

Take the Bush or McCain Challenge

One Bush Left Behind

Excerpted from Gregpalast.com:

Here’s your question, class:

In his State of the Union, the President asked Congress for $300 million for poor kids in the inner city. As there are, officially, 15 million children in America living in poverty, how much is that per child? Correct! $20.

Here’s your second question. The President also demanded that Congress extend his tax cuts. The cost: $4.3 trillion over ten years. The big recipients are millionaires. And the number of millionaires happens, not coincidentally, to equal the number of poor kids, roughly 15 million of them. OK class: what is the cost of the tax cut per millionaire? That’s right, Richie, $287,000 apiece.

The next time someone ignorantly states that tax cuts help the less fortunate, tell them to put this in their pipe and smoke it.

Something catastrophic is coming...

Excerpted from Financial News Online.

An anonymous investor has placed a bet on an index of Europe's top 50 stocks falling by a third by the end of September, as world equity markets plunged for a third day and volatility hit a three-year high.

The mystery investor has bought put option contracts on the DJ Eurostoxx 50 index that will result in a profit if it plunges to 2,800 or below by the end of September. Based on the 2,800 strike price, the position covers a notional €6.9bn, and potentially even more using a market price of about 4,100 when the trades were done on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The identity of the investor is unknown but market sources speculated it was either a large hedge fund hedging itself against deepening losses, or a long-only fund manager pressing the panic button to protect its gains.

The investor has bought a total of 245,000 put options on the index. The September put option with a 2,800 strike was the most popular DJ Eurostoxx 50 contract yesterday, according to data from Bloomberg. Continue article...

This next blog spells it out...

Excerpted from CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS.

The two sales are being referred to by market traders as "bin Laden trades" because only an event on the scale of 9-11 could make these short-sell options valuable.

There are 65,000 contracts @ $750.00 for the SPX 700 calls for open interest. That controls 6.5 million shares at $750 = $4.5 Billion. Not a single trade. But quite a bit of $$ on a contract that is 700 points away from current value. No one would buy that deep "in the money" calls. No reason to. So if they were sold looks like someone betting on massive dislocation. Lots of very strange option activity that I haven't seen before.

The entity or individual offering these sales can only make money if the market drops 30%-50% within the next four weeks. If the market does not drop, the entity or individual involved stands to lose over $1 billion just for engaging in these contracts!

Clearly, someone knows something big is going to happen BEFORE the options expire on Sept. 21.

Why would you bet that much money against the market? The only reason you would is if you had fore-knowledge of a catastrophic event. Something like...

Excerpted from MSNBC.

Al Qaeda has an active plot to hit the West. The United States knows about it but doesn’t have enough tactical detail to issue a precise warning or raise the threat level, says Vice Admiral (ret.) John Scott Redd, who heads the government’s National Counterterrorism Center. In an interview at his headquarters near Washington, D.C., Redd told Newsweek’s Mark Hosenball and Jeffrey Bartholet that the country is better prepared than ever to counter such threats. But he also believes another successful terror attack on the U.S. homeland is inevitable. Continue article...

I know they have been saying this since 9-11 but there has been a renewed drum beat to war with Iran on the 24 hour cable news networks and it appears I am not the only one who has noticed it.

Excerpted from Infowars.

Massive evidence has come to our attention which shows that the backers, controllers, and allies of Vice President Dick Cheney are determined to orchestrate and manufacture a new 9/11 terror incident, and/or a new Gulf of Tonkin war provocation over the coming weeks and months. Such events would be used by the Bush administration as a pretext for launching an aggressive war against Iran, quite possibly with nuclear weapons, and for imposing a regime of martial law here in the United States.

Not to mention the heightened security in the nation's capital...

Excerpted from NBC's Wesh.com.

Members of the 1st Battalion 265 Air Defense Artillery have mobilized and are on a plane headed first to Ft. Bliss, then for federal active duty in the capital region.

The troops will be deployed for a year. Continue article...

And let us not forget what Bush said earlier this week at the VFW...



So let's get this straight: the media is trumpeting what a threat to US Iran is, administration officials are repeatedly saying something is coming, someone stands to make two billion dollars if the stock market takes a dive like on 9-11, and now we have Bush bringing up the spectre of a "nuclear holocaust." There is a term for this in boxing... it's called telegraphing.
