Stewart on Faux News: "That's the subtext, because we only report the news that conforms to the narrative we've worked so hard to construct."

Obama is just another warmongering, sniveling ass. Be warned. The newspeak continues...

Toxic assets = legacy assets.

Good fucking god!

Rachel Maddow has a different take on it all:

But Rachel...

Do you really suppose that fiscal accountability really means anything in an era of multi-trillion dollar spending on the economic crisis? The fed is spending money we don't even know about and doing so accountable to no one. Doesn't that give the fed power over our monetary system to make or break it as they see fit?

Money no longer has an actual tangible meaning. One of the problems we are faced with is the need to find something of real value.

I am reminded of the scene in Lawrence of Arabia when Audar says: "I must find something honourable." Of the few things depicted in the film we know that Audar finds both gold and arabian horses to be honorable.

And so it was, once upon a time, in this country.

The Daily Show vs. Jim Cramer






------

Ultimately, Stewart is unfair to Cramer. Yes, it would be nice if Jim Cramer would operate as more of a market watchman and do the hard-hitting investigative journalism that Stewart envisions as part of Cramer's job. But Cramer admits himself that what he actually does is more in the way of an entertainment show about the market. One has only to watch the show a little to see that his persona on the show is more in line with Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe - a fictional character on the TV sitcom "Frazier." Cramer is clearly not the investigative journalist that Stewart would seem to demand of him. Stewart also ignore that CNBC has advertisers that are most likely major players in the market and that they will not support the kind of show that Stewart imagines them putting on the air.

Stewart seems to want Cramer to do the job of government in regulating the markets, but he's just not going to get that is he? I mean, in what world?

The reality is that our federal legislators are obviously in bed with the great manipulators of the markets and that the SEC is very nearly toothless and utterly outmatched by an investment culture that views it with the same annoyance and a wink as do children when they consider the importance of the hall monitors at their elementary schools.

Government is not doing its job and it's every man for himself. You must carefully scrutinize how you invest and read every contract to the last line. There is no one else watching out for you.

Douchebags on CNBC



------

I am really starting to feel that the economic crisis that we now face is in reality the failure of capitalism. Given the chance, your countrymen will rob from you until you are a dead withered husk. People may complain about the ills of socialism, but I must ask:

How can it be worse than the last 150 years of capitalism in the U.S.? Is it possible to have even more corruption than we now have? Will we face an even more ruthless oligarchy?
