Oatmeal Stout. That sounds so incredibly good. I have been sick all week with this horrendous cold that everyone seems to have. Perhaps that's just what I need to rid myself of disease. 
Happy Halloween everyone!

Sounds like the right medicine to me!
Happy Halloween.
While I will probably be viewed as a jerk for my perisistence. Everyone needs to hear the message of David Walker, the former Comptroller General of the Currency.
I.O.U.S.A. This is a condensed version of the movie that is out:
I will crawl back in my hole now, Mark, thanks for the coffee.

Unbelievable. People need to be fired. Pull that money back.
Put me in charge. I'd make us all suffer. Very badly suffer. The banks and the rich the most, but all of us. For 2-3 years. I'd tax the hell out of everybody to pay off the debt. Then I'd start 400 plants nationwide making solar panels. Instead of a chicken in every pot, it would be a panel on every roof. I'd also bring the French over and build a new nuclear plant in every single state in the middle of broken down cities. Force it on them. No NIMBY's allowed to stop it. Put those people to work mixing concrete. No work, no food. Then I'd tell T-Boone Pickens to go ahead with his plan, at least the wind part.
And here I thought the Barry Goldwater mantra died with him, it's alive and well in Bamber!!!
Heheh
I think the one treatment that most of us are going to wind up using is Worktillyerdeadatril.
Phew, another rough day in the Market - Dow is down over 400 points today, about a 660 point drop so far this week and we still have two more days to go 
What the hell, retirement is really over-rated anyway...

And to think, just 13 months ago it was at 14164. It's lost almost 6000 pts since then.
You need to ask for a bailout, its the in thing to do.
igfly: Yesterday American Express was a credit card company, today they are a bank and have already asked for the parachute. 
It's time to throw some tea in the harbor

You're over-reacting...
However, here is the link to the TARP application guidelines and documents: http://www.treas.gov/initiatives/eesa/application-documents.shtml
Do you think loan sharking would qualify under the guidelines for 'Eligible Institutions'? Probably worth a shot, all they can say is 'no', and that seems highly unlikely.
Should America shut down the National Money Hole?

Christine Todd's name has also been thrown around as a possible appointee. I guess everyone should get a second chance
