We here in Australia thank the USSA for pouring buckets of Rubles, I mean US dollars, into nationalising the the free markets.

Our Pacific Peso is not going to go tits up and reduce us to eating our children and the crippled.

@jnov: wha-wha-whaaaaaaa?

Don't know what to say about that -- Escher is certainly a go-to artist for folks like myself, and folks like myself tend to populate the staffs of these shows. But under the circumstances, this was something of a non-obvious play.

I'll say coincidence for now, but it's an eyebrow-raiser.

I think with the "discouraged," it's like 7.something nationwide, which means its probably 8-9 in California. In Ga. we're only 6.3, but we're usually lower than the national average (6.1). Meanwhile, they'll continue to vote against their own interests here unless there is an active job to suppress the votes of stupid white people (I'll sign up for that).

@nojo: your Escher made the Maddow show tonight. Coincidence? Great minds? Or a super-secret audience...

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in California has jumped to 7.7%....and that doesn't count the people who have given up job-hunting.

@ Manchu,

Dude it's all cool. Comrades Bush, Bernanke & Paulson can just throw the levers on those printing presses to whip up $45 T in a New York sec. Of course, a gallon of milk is gonna cost $43,000 by this time next year courtesy hyperinflation, but whatevs.

Go team United Socialist States of AmeriKKKa! USSA! USSA!

likewow: there's no use yelling about Disqus, we don't have any power in this situation. Until the Hosting Sadist returns our calls, we're SOL on the situation.

John 'The Alzheimerhoid' McCain is so fucked in the head that the neocons and gangsters that BushCo services won't even bother starting wars and raiding public agencies. They'll just walk straight past the Alzhermerhoid and loot the Treasury wholesale while the Talibunny kneels on the White House lawn babbling with arms outstretched, shrieking at the sky and begging god to deliver the apocalypse he promised.

@Dodger Kurt: I hate Vegas with a fiery passion. I can tolerate Reno because it's a little scruffier and you can see the trees on the mountain ridges. Plus it's a nice drive through Tahoe and Truckee to get to Reno.
re: W. I totally think he's hitting the sauce again. The NYT website had a photo from this morning where he was doing his monkey laugh again. If he's not hitting the sauce, then it's the early-onset Alzheimer's showing up.

Speaking of Alzheimer's, how about McCain's Pain with Spain? WTF?

@ KurtGodel,

My advanced Bush Derangement Syndrome prevents me from listening to anything that worthless asshole says, lest my fist goes through the TV.

@SFL: my wife is going to Vegas to GOTV. Really -- she doesn't like to gamble. You guys could hang out.

@Orig Andrew: did you hear W's talk to the press this AM? He sounded like an old drunk stumbling around at the bus station.

@cb: No update on when the Commenting Caddy comes back from the shop. Disqus options are limited -- looks like you get bold, italic and links only.

Can you imagine how some of those WH phone calls went?

…ring…ring…

HENRY PAULSON: “Dubya? It’s Hank. Yeah, I know you’re trying to watch the playoffs, this’ll just take a sec. I spoke with the insane and evil Star Chamber of foreign central banks, sovereign wealth funds, third-world oil-producing despots and hedge fund managers that actually own the smoking, gang-banged corpse of the American “free-market” financial system to let them know that they’re aahhhlllllll gonna git paid off.

Yeeesssssiiiirrreee! Big-time cashola! And in euros, too! None of that phony dollar shit.

Yep, we just need to add another trillion dollars to the national debt.

Oh and by the way WE’RE ALL COMMUNISTS NOW!”

Vladimir, I wait patiently and hopefull for the day when you will be Lyn-Nerd Skyn-Nerd, so that I can scream "Play Freebird." I made that up, you know, the tradition of maniacally and frantically screaming "play Freebird" at every band, in every situation. Really, I was the first, at The Shipwheel in Brielle, New Jersey in 1980, now I just have to remember the band.

@SFL: Yes. Yes I have, even though he swears he's a Dem. A solitary gay PUMA who itches for a 2012 Hillbot run. (If, FSM forbid, Unicorn doesn't get in, I'm not sure that Hillary would have a chance in '12 if Unicorn supporters get bitter at her and blame her for his defeat. I'd be that petty.)

@Jamie: What about a continuance? The client should understand, right? like you, I'm in the same boat. It's killing me... I'm getting twice-daily calls and emails to do GOTV in Nevada. I'd much rather go canvass northern N.M. than Reno. I just have to figure out how to get out of work obligations and maybe I'll be in RML's neck of the woods for Dia de los Muertos.
