Reconciliation

And now we get healthcare.

I'm with Krugman.

Can't wait to see the exploding heads over this one.

Texas, Treason and Trevino

I have been meaning to post on this since the kerfuffle irrupted.

Josh Trevino (no tilde and no fucking link) tries to paint a simple assertion as a corruption of history (that would be the accepted history according to the cant and prattle of the Nativists).

Erik Loomis Ph.D went all liberal-biased fact on Josh's ass.

Kinda glad I hesitated to pull the trigger. The shit storm continues.

Dr. Loomis has continued his analysis of a modern secessionist Texas.

But of course, Texas committed treason in defense of slavery twice.

The historical narrative pains me even more than when I had my "Come to Jesus" moment about "Uncle Billy".

Oh, and Rick Perry (R-Tool), thanks a ton for unpacking this suitcase of dirty laundry (the whites) in the public square. Douchebag.

Added) this wicked slapdown in media res.

The next time

someone asserts that the sub-prime market killed the economy, point them here.

A taste:

There were negatively amortizing loans everywhere: Option ARMs for homeowners, toggle PIKs for corporations, and of course interest reserves for Construction & Development loans (always common, but are blowing up on lenders).

Dosen't look like a gang fight to me.
It looks more like a session of the U.S. House.

Fly away

To a simpler time

Well produced.

Boooooring

The one thing I would add to Prof. Krugman's statement that

Instead, however, finance turned into the monster that ate the world economy

is the word again.
