Fed Defies Transparency Aim in Refusal to Disclose (Update2)
By Mark Pittman, Bob Ivry and Alison Fitzgerald
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral ...

... ``The collateral is not being adequately disclosed, and that's a big problem,'' said Dan Fuss, vice chairman of Boston- based Loomis Sayles & Co., where he co-manages $17 billion in bonds. ``In a liquid market, this wouldn't matter, but we're not. The market is very nervous and very thin.'' Bloomberg News has requested details of the Fed lending under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and filed a federal lawsuit Nov. 7 seeking to force disclosure. The Fed made the loans under terms of 11 programs, eight of them created in the past 15 months, in the midst of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. ``It's your money; it's not the Fed's money,'' said billionaire Ted Forstmann, senior partner of Forstmann Little & Co. in New York. ``Of course there should be transparency.''

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is putting up a lot of money to try to quiet hysterical markets. At the same time, though, Germany and Europe appear to be sinking quickly into a recession. Experts believe a massive economic stimulus package is needed to stop the slide.

Mexico City's 'water monster' nears extinction

MEXICO CITY – Beneath the tourist gondolas in the remains of a great Aztec lake lives a creature that resembles a monster — and a Muppet — with its slimy tail, plumage-like gills and mouth that curls into an odd smile.

Speaking the Unspeakable: what if McCain Wins?
Posted on October 28, 2008 by Mike O

What will happen if McCain beats the polls (as have every winner in the last several presidential elections) and wins?

Two things simultaneously: massive ‘voter suppression’ lawsuits and race riots.

If you thought Bush Derangement Syndrome and the Florida 2000 mess was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The MSM has set this up by reporting polling and absurd things like InTrade as gospel. Fact is, the Obama support has likely been overcounted for a very long time, owing to the social aggressiveness of his supporters; call it the Howard Dean effect. The fastest way to get out of an awkward political discussion today is to simply say you support Obama and walk away, especially in the younger sets. If you’d tallied both my son and wife anytime right up to casting their votes, they’d probably have told you Obama; they ended up both going with McCain (and I have gotten in very few political discussions with them, though naturally they know where I stand). They have been pounded mercilessly by Obama supporting friends, but both made completely independent decisions- for very different reasons- to just quietly vote for McCain and go on.

So the polls may prove to be wrong and the more ardent Obama supporters (egged on by the equally deranged MSM) will be sure they were right and the election just got stolen by a pack of racists. The resulting internal conflagration will be as bad, if not worse, than the worse parts of the 60s. A myraid of lawsuits will be going on during the major riots, trying to count every provisional ballot cast by record numbers of graveyard residents and multiple personality voters generated by ACORN for one of their own. It will get really ugly and sitting around ignoring this unspeakable aspect most people quietly realize is not going to make it go away.

... if the US scenario is scary ...
... the world scenario is even worse ...
... the planet can not afford another four years ...
... of GOP administration ...
... the economic effects on the US market ...
... are unpredictable ...
