   My wife is always telling me to get into politics because I care so much. I tell her I can’t because my diplomacy skills would result in my immediate incarceration.

   This deferral, along with other accounting decisions made at that time relating to provisions for loan losses and the recognition of low-income housing tax credits, allowed management to meet the EPS threshold for maximum bonuses.

   Defer massive losses to allow for maximum bonuses! What could be wrong with that?

   Um… wasn’t Barney Franks’ boyfriend at the time an executive at Fanny or Freddy? Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

   My hubby thinks he may go into politics, but like you, he is WAY too vocal to be elected in a sane world. He would not be a ‘player’. Too bad, we need more of ‘not the player’ mode.

   Yes Dexter, I do believe Barney’s little honey-cake dude was among the higher-ups at one of those institutions.

   But the portion you quoted seems to me to be unadulterated fraud.

   We need a divorce in this country. Received recently via email…

   DIVORCE AGREEMENT

   Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives,
   socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

   We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

   Here is a model separation agreement:

   Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

   We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
   You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

   We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

   You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.

   We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

   We’ll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

   You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
   I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

   We’ll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.

   Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

   Sincerely,

   John J. Wall Law Student and an American

   P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

   The official government position on Fannie/Freddie is: “too big to fail”.

   Referencing Webster’s Collegiate Cynical Political Euphemism to English Dictionary, that translates to: “Leave our good ole boys alone!”.

    I know what you mean, my BS meter pegs too easily. As it is where I work, they don’t call me to meetings unless they really have to, because they don’t like it when I tell them where the dog died.

    *FHFA letter, dated December 3, 2004, to Congressman Barney Frank: “On November 15, 2004 Fannie Mae filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Fannie Mae indicated that its external auditors could not complete their reviews of its financial statements and noted the possibility of up to a $9 billion loss dating back to 2001. As a result, OHFEO has determined it will not provide a monthly capital classification at this time.”

    Clearly written by someone who hates gays, minorities and poor people.

    Don’t. Not unless you want to give up your morals and values. My Dad, once, had the opportunity to run and his decision, “no”, was because of his morals and values. Years ago, I didn’t understand that. Today, seeing how the government runs and knowing how the parties manipulate “newbies”, I can see why. Hang on to what you think is right, may find you an ignored “loner” in the mold, without re-election possibilities. You may have to sacrifice some of your values, just to get what you want looked at (as in bills). Unless it is city council, I wouldn’t consider it myself.

    The Democrats in Congress started this avalanche. Not only are they not being prosecuted along with their stupid and greedy Wall Street partners (of whom Geithner is one), but they are still working their magic in full view of the public. And no one in authority sounds an alarm. Their consciences are seared beyond repair. No wonder they have no concept of their own criminality.

    The world of right and wrong has been turned on its head.

    Sadly, “self-respecting journalist” has to be seen through the reality of Bernard Goldburg’s A Slobbering Love Affair.

    They don’t see reality.

    They are not simply “self-respecting”…

    they are self-loving, group-think meisters.

    Things do look bleak, but I am not sad, I’m fired up, ready to fight for Liberty. We are living history right now. We either roll over and become surfs or we rise up and fight. Our leaders, with clear voices like Michelle, are all about us here in this community. Take heart spacey, we will win this fight.

    He is not self-respecting or a real journalist but David Gregory might do it. However, I think he and Herb Moses are co-writing a new book entitled How We got Fanny at Fannie Mae.

    i am saved, divorce decree, my sentiments exactly. just before the election i got into a big argument with my brother who is married to a kumbia lib, and she sent me an email saying we should split into red and blue countries. she said the blue would have all the business of new york, california, washington, boston and chicago, while the red would have nascar. i wrote back the red would have all the doctors because the blue would get all the lawyers due to tort reform. the high wage earners would all move to the red states to escape all the onerous taxes and regulations imposed to maintain the welfare state. the blue states would have the welfare and illegal immigrant population, because the red states wouldn’t pay people to be lazy brood sows. and last but not least, the red states would have the food production, because california would have to buy water from us, and oh yeah, we would have the military to protect our sovereignty. she didn’t think it was funny. neither did i.

    I notice that too. Libs make comments like that and when people like us point out things, like you did, they get angry. People only ever get angry when they are told truth that they do not like. You ever notice the liberals who grace us with their wisdom never come into threads like this one, if they do, they never comment. Ignoring corruption and double standards do not make them go away. Obama and administration are proving themselves to be failures. The world loves them alright, because they know what suckers they are.

    Yeah, interesting about those bus tours. Obama’s thug squad is organized to threaten and intimidate the AIG employees who received contractually legal bonuses. Yet, the bonuses for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crooks are paid out and no one says “boo”. Congress stirs up public outrage over AIG, yet does a massive cover-up for thier “friends”. How much more of these cover-ups are we going to stand for as a country? How much more treason are we going to allow right under our noses? When are those pitchforks going to be aimed at congress? And by the way, when is our so-called “president” going to stop campaigning and start leading? Oh, never mind!
