Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass is not shy about saying who got us into this mess:

Back in 1994, Congress gave the Federal Reserve the authority to ban irresponsible mortgages. Alan Greenspan, as a very committed anti-regulation conservative, refused - literally refused - to use that authority. Congress can give people authority; we can't compel them to use it. Ben Bernanke, to his credit, realized that it was time to use that authority. So he promulgated a set of rules on July 14 of this year to prohibit a lot of the mortgages of the type that got us in trouble. If Alan Greenspan had done 10 years ago what Ben Bernanke did this past July, we would have much less of a problem in subprime mortgages.


Start lining them up yaaaa... Bush, Cheney, Greenspan... in front of a big jury, y a repartir sentencias y sopapos, coño!

Banda sonora para una crisis, vía Libro de notas: ...selección narrada de temas musicales que han ilustrado de forma más o menos acertada los tiempos de crisis económica....

Supertramp: 'Crisis, what crisis?'
Es de sobra conocido que Supertramp es uno de los grupos favoritos de Zapatero, por lo tanto no sorprende la respuesta del presidente durante meses cada vez que era interrogado por la situación económica: “crisis, ¿qué crisis?”. La portada del LP, por lo demás olvidable, es harto elocuente. ¿Será Zapatero el que disfruta bajo la sombrilla ajeno al mundo exterior? No sabemos si el presidente aún seguirá siendo fan de este disco o si habrá acabado en los contenedores de basura de Moncloa.

« B.B. King: ‘Recession blues’
Ya se empieza a hablar sin pudor de crisis. Incluso de recesión. Tiempos duros. Ya lo cantaba B.B. King: Since this recession I’m losing my baby, because the times are getting so hard

10cc: ‘Wall street shuffle’
El rechazo del Congreso americano al plan de Bush provoca el pánico en Wall Street, arrastrando a las bolsas de todo el mundo. En el horizonte el dramático crack del 29, aunque esta vez, de momento, no se tiran los ejecutivos por las ventanas. El grupo 10cc reflejó como nadie en los setenta ese fétido y alocado mundo de Wall Street: To do the Wall Street Shuffle / Let your money hustle / Bet you’d sell your mother / You can buy another.»

mientras tanto....

el senado estadounidense dice que sí, tirémosle otra soga a la economía hecha mierda por los forrados, que con la última soguita del subprime casi la ahorcamos. ya en walls street preparan un amanecer sonoro y la cámara de repre-sentantes se prepara para hacer lo mismo el viernes: que sí, que sí, que no nos queremos hundir.... entre todos se darán palmaditas y se congratularán. mientras, el fantasma de FDR se meará de la risa, sabiendo que la fiesta en sí acaba de comenzar....

nuestra única pionerita pensante

La frase “volver a la normalidad” es repetida por secretarios generales del Partido, por choferes de camiones cargados de tejas y hasta por los propios damnificados. Se trata de borrar a toda costa el “ahora” para regresar al “antes” de los dos huracanes.

Los cierto es que no creo que un mes atrás tuviéramos algo parecido a la “normalidad”.
Es más, en las tres décadas que arrastro sobre mis hombros, no creo haber vivido en otra cosa que no sea lo anómalo.

A quienes pronuncian la palabrita, me gustaría preguntarles si ellos creen que es “normal” el Período Especial, el miedo a la opción cero, los discursos interminables, la Batalla de Ideas, los mítines de repudio, mis amigos armando una balsa para echarse al mar, el “hay pero no te toca, o te toca pero no hay”, las colas perennes, las promesas de cambio que no se concretan, las tierras ociosas, la idea de plaza sitiada donde disentir es traicionar, el hablar en voz baja, la paranoia a que todos puedan ser del Aparato, las restricciones a viajar, los privilegios de unos pocos, la dualidad monetaria, el adoctrinamiento en las escuelas, la falta de expectativas, las vallas con consignas que nadie cree y la espera, el aguardar, los sueños de que alguna vez todo pueda arribar a un punto cercano a la “normalidad”.

UPDATED franco dickcionario biodesagradable

John McCain In the Republican Party, there are two kinds of dicks: those that support the Iraq War but were too cowardly to fight in a war when they had the chance, and, much less common, those that support the Iraq War and did fight in other wars when they had the chance. McCain is the latter kind of dick.

Sarah Palin is the current governor of Alaska, Republican vice presidential candidate, a compulsive breeder, and a major lady dick. The only thing Sarah Palin seems to enjoy more than having children is giving those children ridiculous names and inadequate sex education. On August 29, 2008, Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain performed perhaps the greatest political mindfuck in American history by announcing that he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin celebrated by ovulating.

Cindy McCain She hails from Phoenix, Arizona, a city pretty much entirely inhabited by the type of dick who likes to siphon off hundreds of billions of gallons of water from the Colorado River just to be able to play golf in the desert, in a state pretty much entirely inhabited by the type of dick who likes to vote “NO” on recognizing Martin Luther King Day as a national holiday.

Barack Obama is a senator, presidential candidate, and celebrity politician (“celebritician”), and a dick. It is important to note that Obama is not so much a dick by virtue of who he is, but rather by what he has chosen to involve himself in (e.g. presidential politics) and the resulting crowd it forces him to deal with (e.g. Joe Biden). ... As far as anyone can tell, however, the only things Obama did as junior senator from Illinois were to not vote for the Iraq War and run for president.

Joe Biden is the senior U.S. senator from Delaware, the 2008 Democratic vice presidential nominee, an obvious recipient of both hair plugs and dentures, and a dick. Biden failed to gain the Democratic Party’s nomination in 1988, when it came out that he was a serial plagiarizer. Biden’s two sons are lawyers. One, Beau, currently serves as the dick Attorney General—or, “Attorney Genital”—of Delaware. Interestingly enough, should Joe Biden win the Vice Presidency, many believe Beau Biden will be appointed to fill his Senate seat. The situation is complicated, however, as Beau is also a captain in the Army National Guard, and slated for deployment to Iraq in October 2008. Should this actually wind up being the case, it is sure to generate a ton of national media attention, especially because nepotism and military service in Iraq are supposed to be the sole provenance of the Republicans.

Michelle Obama Like many dicks, Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Like many lawyers, Michelle Obama is a dick. This is a perfect example of the converse logical property of dicktitudinousness.

Judge orders Cheney to preserve records

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued over records... Defendants are Cheney, president's office, National Archives...
Judge ruled against administration over visitor logs in December


U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found that the records are not excluded from preservation under Presidential Records Act, which gives the national archivist responsibility over the custody of and access to the records at the end of a president's final term.
