Friday Afternoon Open Thread

Who knew Anonymous' Barrett Brown had a sense of humor? His latest tweet:

Now my weed dealer won't come by because he's afraid of the damned Zetas. #OpCartel

Maybe he read my post calling him the latest drug war recruit and wants to assure people it's not true.

Congrats to Glenn Greenwald, whose new book, Liberty and Justice for Some, is now at #25 of the NY Times Bestseller List for Hardocover NonFiction.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

    Wall Street reforms, (5.00 / 2) (#12)
    by KeysDan on Fri Nov 04, 2011 at 04:11:14 PM EST
    lessons learned: keep regulators occupied.   Months before MF Global (MF) was known to be on the brink, federal regulators  tried to rein in the types of risky trades leading to the demise of the firm.  Jon Corzine, the CEO of MF, well-conected to the Obama administration, personally pressed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to stop plans for new regulations and the CFTC yielded to Corzine's superior knowledge and expertise.  

    MF told regulators, rather unimaginatively, that they were trying to "fix something that is not broken," adding that the firm was not aware of any firm that was unable to provide to their customers upon request any segregated funds.   Perhaps the clinching argument was MF's assurances to the federal regulators that the proposed rule could cripple the futures brokerage industry by hurting their profitability.  Meanwhile, MF is now in bankruptcy and the CFTC is hunting for $630 million in missing customer funds.

    Larry Summers explain that the housing market is damaging our ability to recover?  Sheer brilliance, who else could have noticed that had something to do with it. But I didn't really get the cure out of his words though his title claimed they were in there somewhere.  They were in there along with the command to watch the watch swing back and forth while Larry kept repeating, "must not return to regulation, the confidence fairy dies....must not return to regulation, the confidence fairy dies".

    "Wall Street owns the country.... Money rules (5.00 / 4) (#30)
    by MO Blue on Fri Nov 04, 2011 at 06:59:20 PM EST
    ....John Boehner calls on the bankers, holds out his cup and offers them total obeisance from the House majority if only they fill it. Barack Obama criticizes bankers as "fat cats," then invites them to dine at a pricey New York restaurant where the tasting menu runs to $195 a person.

    That's now the norm, and they get away with it. The president has raised more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and private equity managers than any Republican candidate, including Mitt Romney. Inch by inch he has conceded ground to them while espousing populist rhetoric that his very actions betray.

    Let's name this for what it is: hypocrisy made worse, the further perversion of democracy. Our politicians are little more than money launderers in the trafficking of power and policy--fewer than six degrees of separation from the spirit and tactics of Tony Soprano. link

    First, Barack Obama hires the rancid flotsam of Wall Street to command the economic team tasked with salvaging the nation from what the equally rancid jetsam of Wall Street had done to it.
    [snip]
    Why Barack Obama chose to exhume this fossil and empower him again will baffle historians down through the ages.
    [snip]
    Barack Obama owns that report. It was his commission. In sum, the path to a complete sellout of Democratic values was there, if people wanted to follow it.
    [snip]
    Oh, holy mother of god, what a crock these people are. In the middle of the worst recession since the 1930's, with the country being told to accept nine-percent unemployment for the foreseeable future, and income inequality swamping the middle class, the responsible point of view among the leaders of both political parties is to "reform entitlements" until what's left is sticks and splinters because then, and only then, will the delicate, blessed "Markets" feel goody-good-good about themselves again. We are all Dow Jones. This kind of thing should end your political viability on the spot. It should get you deluged with produce every time you set foot out of your house. It should mark you lousy.

    If the Democrats sign on to a "Grand Bargain" like this one, there simply is no argument any more for their continued existence as a political party.

    today.  Estimated 50 sworn city police officers on the perimeter, all wearing yellow slickers.  3 people in slickers inside the plaza next to a couple of U.S. flags fastened to rails by the steps.  So I asked, are you here because of those three people?  Yes.  So they won't pitch tents?  Yes, and for other reasons; plus, there are usually more occupiers--it's the weather.  Are you all sworn officers?  (Thought might be vol. citizen law enforcement.)  Yes.  Are there usually this many of you here?  Yes, and sometimes more.  

    On my return trip I saw more (maybe 50 occupiers alongside Civic Theatre (not in the actual plaza).  They had tarps and plastic sheeting.  (Rainy day--very unusual here.)  

    So I asked an officer if they had to take the tarps, etc. down at night.  He sd. I guess we're letting them keep up the tarps--for now.  At this point I noticed the law enforcement presence was greatly reduced.  Maybe I hit shift change.

     ...for someone who hold lives in his hands/computer.

    I bet there are plenty of souls not finding the humor in his tweet.

    Exposing these people is similar, but not the same as exposing anyone, be it a spy, or informant, or associates of a Cartel. He's knowingly putting people in harms way.  To me is simply playing their game, which is not for the squeamish.

    He played chicken and lost, actually posting the names will only guarantee their member's death and many more.  I would imagine he's trying to figure out how to back down without appearing weak.  Which doesn't seem plausible at this point.

    If the Cartels were so easily dissuaded they wouldn't be as powerful as they are.  I never really understood the whole threat, they leave human heads on the streets, this isn't Scarface where they prefer to remain anonymous, they want exposure.  Ditto for their advisories, dead people scare live people more than any threat.

    That being said, who is going to stand up to these clowns, in my mind there is only one way to break their backs, and we are no where near legalization of cocaine and opium.  Weed, somewhat closer, but that isn't their bread and butter.  Seems like sooner than later, they are going to control the State and then what, an actual war ?  We better hope and pray the Cartels never decide to make peace with each other...

Probably not time well spent, because with nearly 150 strips posted so far, I don't think anyone's said a peep yea or nay about the titles.

    about the situation in Greece.  On the one hand, the government is and has been enormously  corrupt and complicit, and the banks have been hugely predatory- no question about it.  And they are definitely asking the Greek people to take the major hit, as opposed to the big banks.  I'm also thinking that, would it be so bad if the Greeks went back to the drachma, defaulted like Iceland, and went their own way?  On the other hand, I happen to know, from friends and relatives in Greece, that it has long been a major Greek "thing" to avoid paying their taxes- that's always been a huge problem in Greece.  They want the benefits, but they don't want to pay for them.  So I don't know the answer.  I suspect that the best answer for the people of Greece, ultimately, is to default, exit the Eurozone, tighten their belts for a bit, but then they also need to start paying their taxes, in a fair-minded system.  And they need to elect a government that is even-handed and not corrupt.

The 42nd president periodically surfaces with cheerful tips on how he managed the economy and offers these observations in his book entitled "Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy." The Washington Post obtained a copy of the book prior to its publication."

    More from the Clinton book:

    Clinton maintains that  Obama could have averted this summer's politically damaging debt ceiling standoff if he'd pushed for for an increase when Democrats controlled Congress, or through a unilateral show of executive power.

    Instead, he says, the deal brokered with Republicans does little to address unemployment or curb long-term debt, leaving Obama with a "tough hand to play" in the months ahead.  

    Clinton also says Obama and Democrats could now be more effective in making their case for higher taxes on wealthier Americans by not emphasizing the class divide.

    SNIP

    Clinton says he and Vice President Joe Biden personally pushed Democratic activists to develop a unified set of talking points on the Recovery Act, auto bailout and financial regulatory reform - all to no avail.

    "We couldn't persuade the decision makers to do so," Clinton said.

    saw Mr. Wynn and his Miracle 3 live one time performing The Dream Syndicate's classic "Medicine Show" album...they hit us with 'Amphetamine' in the encore...it is a heart pumper.

    Perfect to geek me up for some football with the fellas!

    to see if and when the missing money at MF Global turns up.  In spite of spokespersons for MF Global saying that nothing is missing as far as they can tell, the money is still missing.  They did think for a minute today that maybe they had found it at JPMorgan Chase, but nope.

    it's Breeders Cup day kids!

    Going for a price with Drosselmeyer in the Classic...Uncle Mo will be beat.

    The ghetto burb syndicate will have a Pick 6 in play, Goldikova the lone single in the turf mile...the french mare retires in style, the lock of the day.

    Lovin' Hansen in the Juvie too...I'm a sucker for a fast grey.  Watch that colt go wire to wire.

    Just don't bet the milk money, no bailouts in this game:)
