Tony Tassell of the FT reports on the return of the pension fund fudge:

Reading through the thousands and thousands of pages of Valukas' report has proven, as we suspected early today, quite entertaining. After having first uncovered the Repo 105 accounting gimmick, and E&Y (and, in a normal society, Tim Geithner) coffin nail, we are convinced that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and sure enough, as we read along, more stunners come to light. We will update this post with new discoveries, but for now, we present the  Fenway Tri-Party Repo Market Clusterfuck ("FTPRMC").

Stacy Summary:  Federal judge rules that Congress acted unconstitutionally in de-funding ACORN.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Thursday that he is seeking U.S. government permission to import cheaper drugs from Canada for use in state insurance programs.

Obama is a mean, old, selfish conservative in liberal clothing. I mean really, where is the outcry for universal pet insurance? How inhumane can this man possibly be to let pets suffer and die because their owners couldn’t afford Rover’s medication, prosthetic leg or even heart transplant?
How about food insurance? There are many people that go hungry. If we had free food insurance we would surely solve that problem immediately. Since the U.S. government thinks of itself as the only super-power tasked with policing the world, I suggest our benevolence be extended across the globe. What kind of people would we be if we provided free food insurance to only our selfish selves, and not the rest of the world? That would just not be right. Everybody has a right to a Big Mac!
Let’s not forget clothing. We can’t expect anyone to go without. That would be inhumane and un-American. I suggest we implement free clothing insurance immediately.

Rep. David Dreier (R., Calif.), ranking Republican on the House Rules Committee, said the Slaughter Rule is evidence that Democrats cannot pass their bill "while playing by the rules."

“With the Slaughter Solution, House Democrats have exposed themselves as willing to abandon the most fundamental element of legislating – a transparent, up-or-down vote— in order to achieve a unpopular partisan objective. This is highly disturbing and in some ways, dangerous. The American people do not want this health care bill and they certainly don’t want the democratic process turned on its head in an effort to pass it over their objections.”

Kurt Nimmo reports:
Lewd references to Eric Massa and 24/7 coverage of mindless bread and circuses covered by the corporate media are no mistake. By the early 1950s, the CIA owned the corporate media and used it to promulgate propaganda.
Former Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner created Operation Mockingbird in 1948 and recruited Philip Graham of the Washington Post to run the project. Mockingbird eventually controlled news reported by the New York Times, Newsweek, the New York Herald Tribune, Time Magazine, and hundreds of other newspapers and magazines in the United States and around the world.
By the 1950s, according to Alex Constantine (Mockingbird: The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA), “some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts.” Wisner was also able to restrict newspapers from reporting about certain events. For example, the CIA plots to overthrow the governments of Iran and Guatemala.

Cocaine users were last night accused of helping to make global warming worse.

Alan Sabrosky considers the characteristics that differentiate Jewish nationalism from other nationalisms, highlighting in particular its intrinsic extremism, its xenophobia, racism and militarism, its undermining of civic loyalty among its adherents in other countries and its propensity to hatred and racial exclusivity.

The Trustees of Social Security Fund, in their annual report, have implied that the trust fund will turn cash flow negative around the year 2017. This doesn't mean they will be bankrupt and out of assets in 2017, just that they will start to pay out more in benefits than money they take in.

Well, scratch that 2017 date. The fund is now cash flow negative.
