I hadn't watched Gregory on Meet The Press since Russert's death. That was smart.
Today Mr Gregory, in questioning Gov Crist, quoted "analysts at Amherst Securities" who denounced Obama's housing plan for giving the most aid to those who had stretched the limits and "lied the most" about their income. He quotes "analysts at Amherst Securities," so this must be a fact. What is a fact is that Amherst Securites is a "leading dealer and market maker in mortgage backed securities" - the bastards that got us into this mess.
And the new folk hero, Rick Santelli, who Maureen Dowd said "struck a populist nerve with his screed about the unfairness of responsible homeowners picking up the tab for irresponsible homeowners" was galvanizing the masses - of traders at the Chicago Board of Trade. Prior to rousing the rabble, Mr Santelli "was a vice president handling institutional trading and hedge accounts for a variety of futures related products. He also served as managing director at the Derivative Products Group of Geldermann, Inc., and was Vice President in charge of Interest Rate Futures and Options at the Chicago Board of Trade for Drexel, Burnham, Lambert.(An illustrious firm,some of whose principals did jail time, after the firm's bankruptcy.)
Frankly, I've never heard of a populist leader coming out of Drexel, Burnham. But now, according to Michelle Malkin, quoting the populist Investors Business Daily, we can look forward to Tea Parties in Chicago. Not like the Boston Tea Party, more like the Mad Hatter's.
Salutations. Who is Emily?

Thank you for reminding us that the rats, even after chewing through the sails and causing shipwrecks, often then survive on bits of the flotsam. They drift a little while until they find an opportunity to re-establish.
I wonder what the bustard thought of Rockobama's speech this evening? And who was this guy who distributed his $60 million cash-out? Guilty conscience?
I wish BHO were not so vague about what he means by health care reform.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever. Twas just wondering if she was your sister. I was guessing that she is. You know how deeply intuitive I can be. I was also wondering how you are doing. It's only natural I suppose. After all, we have been corresponding for years and it has been awhile. You have not posted very frequently and I have lost the urge to be combative with you. I am certain you understand.
Hope all is going well as can be expected.
Very, very best,
Rick

Rik -
Thanks for your patient understanding. Your intuition about this is quite good - she's my sister in law.
Your intuition about McCain's victory was a little less good -
I am slowly, very slowly, returning to life - and look forward to returning to combat, as well as hearing about the lamb you will grill on Easter,
All the best
George
