Schwarzenegger''''s miffed at the Prez''''s lack of movement on Global Warming, so the Prez better watch out. I''''ve seen Schwarzenegger throw people out of helicopters.

I thought about Arnie''s movie, Commando (Greatest. Movie. Ever.) and this quote he spoke while hanging a guy over the cliff:

"Loyalty isn''t the most important thing. The most important thing is gravity!"

WHEN WILL JUSTICE BE BROUGHT TO GEORGE BUSH?
We all know now he lied to bring this nation into war and all we write about is his "humanitarian" concerns regarding wildfires or flooding.
He killed 10''s of thousands of human beings.
Humanitarian? You decide.
He needs to be brought to justice

Fannie and Freddie shares have declined by about 80 percent this year. The slump in the two mortgage agencies has sparked a new catchphrase -- ``Too Chinese to Fail'''''''' -- based on the $974 billion of U.S. agency debt held by foreign investors, a fivefold increase since 2003.

Financial markets and U.S. legislators alike have derided U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson''''s plan to bail out the mortgage lenders. One of the two key elements is illogical, while the second is plain outrageous.

Just last week, Fannie Mae said it ``has access to ample sources of liquidity, including access to the debt markets.'''''''' Freddie Mac said it was ``adequately capitalized, highly liquid and an essential part of the nation''''s housing system.'''''''' Either they are being economical with the truth, or the decision to let them borrow from the Federal Reserve''''s discount facility is window-dressing that serves no real purpose.

Defending the Indefensible

Worse is the scheme to allow Paulson to dip into the nation''''s tax revenue to purchase shares in Fannie and Freddie -- shares that investors have already deemed to be almost worthless. If the mortgage lenders can''''t survive in their current form, the government shouldn''''t be defending the indefensible.

In April, Standard & Poor''''s said the risk that the U.S. would have to prop up its so-called Government Sponsored Enterprises posed a bigger threat to the country''''s AAA rating than its willingness to underwrite securities firms.

Article: "The president was expected to...take an aerial tour to survey fire damage...with Gov...Schwarzenegger"
