Sunday Matinee: Burning Down the House… I suggest listening to it with the sound down.

Socialist scheme to make houses more affordable, distorts markets, creates housing bubble, proves capitalism is a failure.

 

Timely Remarks

Check out this link to a 2002 interview with vice-chairman of Fannie Mae, Jamie Gorelick, explaining why there is no need for a Republican investigation of her company.  Jaime Gorelick at an earlier point in her career thought it was important for the CIA and the FBI not to talk to each other either.  She wrote a famous memo on it.  I wonder how that worked out?

The Crony Capitalists

Sunday Matinee: Barack (prepared to be President) Obama calling on UN Security Council to resolve Russian invasion of Georgia, unaware that Russia is a permanent member with veto power.

It could have been worse, Obama could have called for the Model UN to resolve the crisis.

Obama and Biden compete to see who can make the most gaffes–performance enhancing steroids may be involved.

 

Pfather Pfleger Tells It Like It Is.

Departing head of Fannie Mae, Daniel H Mudd, departs with a 9.3 million dollar gold parachute. I wonder if he’ll use the money to buy a house?

From the NY Times article by Eric Dash:

But even after the government seized the mortgage finance companies on Sunday and dismissed their chief executives, the companies’ outgoing leaders could see big paydays — a prospect that angers many investors, particularly because ordinary stockholders could be virtually wiped out.

Under the terms of his employment contract, Daniel H. Mudd, the departing head of Fannie Mae, stands to collect $9.3 million in severance pay, retirement benefits and deferred compensation, provided his dismissal is deemed to be “without cause,” according to an analysis by the consulting firm James F. Reda & Associates. Mr. Mudd has already taken home $12.4 million in cash compensation and stock option gains since becoming chief executive in 2004, according to an analysis by Equilar, an executive payresearch firm.

If Barack Obama isn’t a Muslim, how come liberals pray to him 5 times a day?

From the Memory Hole: I’m shamelessly using the Oprah\Palin kerfuffle to repost a 2 year old, unrelated picture of Oprah.

 

Oprah Talks Dirty

Drudge is reporting Oprah is refusing to allow first double x chromosomed Republican VP pick Sarah Palin on her show.  Claims it will interfere with previously scheduled Biden makeover week.

UPDATE: Oprah refuses to allow Sarah Palin on her show.
