• “There Must Be a Strict Supervision of All Banking and Credits and Investments …” #
• “… There Must Be an End to Speculation with Other People’s Money” –FDR 1933 #
• @smheadhunter Nope. It was deregulation. Try again. #
• @smheadhunter The Bush administration (Republicans last I heard) opposed greater controls on Freddie and Fannie #
• @RadioCarla OK! You can adopt me as a brother-in-law. I’ll file the papers tomorrow. #
• @Mamalogues Fannie and Freddie’s boards of directors and lobbyists, who are technically not employees gave $169,000 to John McCain #
• @Mamalogues The same group, gave $16,000 to Obama … hmmm which one do you think they liked more? #
• @Mamalogues Besides Fannie and Freddie are just two of the dominos to fall from the root of the real issue; deregulation of finance #
• @smheadhunter reality is in the tank for Obama. #
• @Mamalogues Well of course started with Reagan and was helped along by things like the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 #
• @Mamalogues that wouldn’t be accurate at all, sorry. FDR had to clean up one of these messes created by Republicans himself. #
• @smheadhunter I wasn’t attacking regulators, what are you talking about? The Bush Admin refused to put more oversight on Fan/Fred #
• @zanesafrit yeah so much for the guy who can “really get things done in Washington” #
• @zanesafrit they probably bailed on him because they saw his numbers, they’re already got Bush on their backs, don’t need another looser #
• @CosmosGirl I heard that that tweet-up was gonna be moved downtown #
• @Tojosan ok then. Kind of a long trek for me to pop in to say hi, so I doubt I can make it then. Maybe next time. #

• @Mamalogues how are they planning to abridge free speech? #
• @kopper Yup McCain only has a 19.5% chance of wining the election now (as opposed to Obamas 80.5%) #
• @kopper If McCain continues to slide we MIGHT see an Obama landslide #
• Http://fivethirtyeight.com memo to Biden, let Palin talk #
• @elisfanclub that will probably be a great place to be for the next 6 months. I wish I could go. #
• @Cinegage true dat. But things could turn out different now with all the ties btween Hollywood and the financial sector. #
• @tagami actually if gold continues to improve, gold mining stocks could be a good buy too #

• @JoeTrippi good post, tracks with what I’ve been thinking, McCain is flailing and it’s a bit disturbing to watch #
• is it weird that my female dog is always trying to hump my male cat? he doesn’t seem to mind so much. #

• Annie Z at the RFT wrote a nice blog post about one of my projects this week: http://icanhaz.com/atozlofi #
• Wow NOW I know why we don’t ussually nominate distiginguished members of the Senate #current #
• They all talk like senators! #
• Big crowd at the Royale, packed #
• @cspenn with McCains poor performance last night and over the last week, it would take a lot of extra manipulation to make him look good. #
• went canvasing with my union this morning in Suburban St. Louis. People are pissed off at the Republicans–lots of Obama support #
• Came across one guy retired union member, in his 80’s said he wasn’t gonna vote for no fucking n-[word], Archie Bunker is alive! #

• @twittervlog yes McCain “suspending” his campaign was totally political #
• We’re getting jacked in all of this stuff, they’re playing politics, they’re jacking us big time #
• McCain is neck deep in this bullshit, has been for years, hello! Keating 5 anyone? #
• @sull unfortunately the American political system makes 3rd parties unviable #
• @sull parlamentary systems are generally more democratic but they aren’t perfect either, but we don’t have that #
• @onedadslife I don’t have one, I’m more pragmatic than idealistic. #
• Republicans just droped a deal on the table that asked for more deregulation and tax cuts! Morons. #
• Asking for more deregulation at this point is like the Captain of the Titanic asking for more iceburgs. #
• @onedadslife not really it’s just that our system doesn’t really allow for third parties at all. It wasn’t designed for any parties #
• @onedadslife it was certainly an oversight by the founders. They didn’t want any kind of factionalism, didn’t last one election #
• @onedadslife I dunno I think parlamentary systems can be better, they were devised after our system and learned from our mistakes #
• @onedadslife the problem is that markets aren’t really free without regulation, that’s the paradox #
• Intact markets aren’t really functional at all without ground rules (regulation) #
• I gotta go to bed. #
• @sull I disagree, Republican party merely supplanted the Whig party as a second party, and I wouldn’t call Ventura successful #
• @sull Ventura was effectively an independent and found it hard to govern without the support of a party machine #
• So McCain will debate after all, what a dipshit, he went all the way back to Washington for a photo op #
• According to the http://fivethirtyeight.com if the election were held today Obama would win 307.8 electoral votes to McCains 230.2 #
• @Schmult that goes without saying, but the trend lines don’t look good for McCain. Not too many people left to sway #
• @Schmult I do have a point but I keep my hair cut in such a way that no one notices ;) #
• Headed to the Royale to watch the debate tonight if yer in STL and are so inclined come on down and say hi! #

• I’m sorry this isn’t a take home test: FAIL! http://icanhaz.com/izag #
• McCain cancelled the debate because he needs a nap. #
• wow the McCain campaign can’t get anything right: http://icanhaz.com/bumblefuck #
• actually "McCain cancelled the debate because …" would make a great twitter meme, not that I’m starting it … #
• I think McCain might be stalling to cancel the VP debate? Hmmm Maybe: http://icanhaz.com/delay #
• @smheadhunter he’s got a big plane to get to washington if they need him. Presidents should be able to multitask #
• @smheadhunter having missed 80% of the votes in since 2007 why start now? Given his track record, it might be best if he weren’t there #
• @Ryanne yeah this isn’t a take home test, Sarah … FAIL! #
• @SuperFunCraig yes she had a major crash last night. time to reboot her. I hope she never becomes president, that voice would drive me nuts #
• @mamalogues heard some of your show on right wing talk radio this morning. It’s like listening to bizzaro world over there. #
• @DavidHowell oops! I bet that will be fun to watch! Screw-ups make some of the most entertaining TV #
• @violetblue yes! Do that and report back here on how it goes! #
• @dltq I give my students the basics of how to shoot and edit and then I give them a project to produce. they learn everything else as needed #
• remember when they made fun of Edwards for his $400 haircut? I wonder what those people will say about McCains $5000 make-up job? #

• @Mobasoft flash video is fast becoming obsolete, h264 (mp4) is where it’s going. Flash 9 can play h264 video source #
• How to know if something might be a bad idea (bailout) Bush feels "confident"about it. Bush’s confidence should make one very … #
• @Mobasoft no will check it out #
• @avandonsel brochures make sales people feel better about leaving without closing the deal #
• @theroyale I wouldn’t mind doing some art for art attack, that would be fun. #
• Wow everybody bend over quick! Wall St. wants some hot congress on tax payer action to cheer them up! #
• I know I’m repeating myself but if Bush says it’s a good idea it’s probably not. When will we ever learn? #

• @pootymoose is that like the porn version of Applebees? #
• @twittervlog thanks! I’ve been working with Apple Color and Motion quite a bit. Color is real buggy with muti-angle stuff though, killing me #
• @twittervlog I mean it’s killing me right now, on my current project I wanted to get out by tomorrow, ain’t gonna happen #
• @brismi drinks are on you! #
• Looks like the GOP convention bump is over #
• And it looks like the more voters know about Palin the less they like her. Lowest faverable ratings of any of the 4 candidates #
• And that’s down 10 points from last week #
• My prediction that she’ll become more of a liabilty may be coming true #
• Just got bombed with Interplay messages I guess it’s too late to suggest a planning Wiki … Next year … #interplay #

• @SunshineClarity no they said it’s still too early #
• No ultrasound today. still too early. They said 18 weeks was the magic time for that. OB office is in a cell signal gray spot I think #
• could barely get any data, maybe AT&T edge net was having issues again. #
• @Bloghalla yeah we prolly would have discovered twins with the first ultrasound–we were worried about that, wife has twins in her family #
• @charles_hope a true free market is a well regulated market. Unregulated markets are never free, they always devolve into insider cronism #
• The Helium Tapes are live on KDHX right now 88.1 FM St. Louis live stream at KDHX.org #
• @charles_hope WRONG! These bailouts are due to market failures that happened in dark (non transparent) unregulated markets. #
• @charles_hope markets only function well if everyone plays by the same rules, dark markets aren’t free or fair #
