A Houston federal judge on Thursday dismissed most of pitcher Roger Clemens' defamation lawsuit against the ex-trainer who says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.

U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison ruled that Brian McNamee did indeed have an immunity from being sued for the comments he made about Clemens to Sen. George Mitchell's investigators in a Major League Baseball sponsored look at steroid abuse in the sport.

the banks have been kicking n screaming to avoid principal writedowns and schumer spoke against a gop amend to stim to let everyone refi at 4.5% which was a plan floated by the FDIC and others initially

suddenly that option is off the table, we need HOLC and many are asking for it but banks and it appears now Team Obama are resisting it, why?? it would solve the bad paper issues as well

I read on a British site last night that the EU is holding something like two times GDP in toxic assets too.

At this point, isn't there a world motivation to go to court?

That would clear the bank debt and everyone could find a reset button that isn't built on complete fantasy.

I am in the middle of shooting my next movie and I am looking for a few brave people who work on Wall Street or in the financial industry to come forward and share with me what they know. Based on those who have already contacted me, I believe there are a number of you who know "the real deal" about the abuses that have been happening. You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to be a hero and help me expose the biggest swindle in American history.

All correspondence with me will be kept confidential. Your identity will be protected and you will decide to what extent you wish to participate in telling the greatest crime story ever told.

If you have any info that would help, please contact me at my private email address: bailout@michaelmoore.com.

But face it what appears at one time in history is the right thing to do unravels at another time which could be counter productive for everyone.

I saw the speech Obama made about Lincoln, I was much moved, and if Obama wrote that speech I am very impressed. However thinking through and reflecting on some of the speech that referred the civil war and Lincoln not punishing any of the southern solders was o.k. at the time. But for me, with that Southern leadership too, was not totally a good solution.

The truth in reflection knows there was an explosion of cultural difference with Black and White that Obama left out of his speech. Legions of the Black populations that had little to no education are made free in an incredible social transition. A huge over sight for a huge change in thinking away from slavery.  

The transition was awkward. Social needs in government could not and did not move fast enough.  A great deal of turmoil happened and many Blacks publically condemned, face it being free to a black at the time had to be a natural high that was hard to compare to. This whole culture went on for decades to the point were the White Southern population festered into segregation bias and literally manifested Republican Southern Red Neck Red State idealism that grew into a our current Republican run Bush and Company hypocrisy. Funny, this now includes all the trimmings in the debate of torture, bias, and a new hatred for, or by Islam now staring right in our face.
