Bank take-overs and mergers are tough on employees. I know from personal experience. The only bright spot is that they take a long time so there’s time to adjust and plan. What complicates that is that the Republics have screwed up the economy so badly that planning is difficult.

Bush is Lucy, setting up the political football.

The Congressional Democrats are Charley Brown, moronically convinced they have no choice but to once more try and kick the ball.

But this time, instead of Bush snatching the ball away, it’s McCain who intercepts the play, grabs the ball and runs with it to the opposite goal line.

The score: Bush and the Democrats look like a losing “team” while McCain boasts of saving the taxpayers’ $700 billion.

And Barney Frank is once again revealed to be a capitulating tool.

The e-mail calling for a protest was sent out on Sunday night. That wasn’t much time for people to make arrangements to get there.

Plus I realized it would not reform the system, which is what is really needed. Sure was fun to think about, though!

“McVain has realized that there is a difference of only two letters between “whine” and “win.” He’s therefore determined to do at least one of those.”

There’s no I in TEAM…and somebody needs to tell McCain there’s no HE in WIN.

Well, thanks, I was laughing so hard and it felt so good to imagine, I needed to know.

On NPR headlines, WaMu shares fell to $0.43 per share in after hours trading. They had fallen to a buck something during the day.
