Sarah Palin vs The Economy

I'm proud to announce that, like Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin has chosen Jesus' General as her platform for communicating in the patriotsphere.

Welcome, Gov. Palin. The keyboard is yours. More

Which End?

JEERS to technical difficulties. If you watched Bush last night you probably spotted a few things: 1) He's grown a hip, sassy unibrow. 2) Dick Cheney's mortician did a great job with Bush's makeup. And 3) You may have noticed that it sounded like there were gusts of wind blowing across the microphone. After making some calls, C&J found out why: they clipped an extra mic to Bush's ass because they weren't sure which end he'd be speaking from. It was later determined by ABC News that only the adverbs came out of his mouth. Link

Smoke Test

You always hear the words, but so rarely see the smoke.

I took my main desktop over to General Nanosystems tonight. They'd had it after I inadvertently didn't set the video card in correctly. When the motherboard started yelling about "No CPU" I panicked and took it in, which cost me $30.00 and they found that problem. When I brought it home, however, it wouldn't power up, and when it finally did, the fans appeared to have gone south, both in the power supply, and in the line that was just for fans. I put it back in the trunk of my car, and stopped there tonight. The tech guy was replacing the power supply, after he determined it would boot with a different one. He didn't get the connectors right on a card, and when he turned the computer on, smoke rose off the card. Hence, Smoke Test.

I left the computer. He's going to call me in the morning. It needs to be replaced anyway, but I keep hoping to postpone spending the money.

He did seem like he drank too much coffee.

Meanwhile on the homefront, somebody locked himself out of the house.

Bye Bye WaMu. We hardly knew ya!

Government Seizes WaMu and Sells Some Assets

By ERIC DASH and ANDREW ROSS SORKIN

Washington Mutual, the giant lender that came to symbolize the excesses of the mortgage boom, was seized by federal regulators on Thursday night in the largest bank failure in American history.

Regulators simultaneously brokered an emergency sale of virtually all of Washington Mutual to JPMorgan Chase. The remainder of WaMu, the nation’s largest savings and loan, will be operated by the government. Shareholders and some bondholders will be wiped out. WaMu deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the $100,000 limit for each account. WaMu customers are unlikely to be affected.
