A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he couldn't stand still. He asked Father Murphy for some advice. Father Murphy replied, "When I'm worried about gettin' nervous on the pulpit, I take a wee bit o' whiskey. Just to calm my nerves." So the next Sunday he took the older priest's advice. Before the mass, he got nervous and took a drink. He then proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the following note on his door:

1. A few sips of whiskey. Not the whole bottle.

2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Senior, Junior, and the Spook.

8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.

9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, don't say "He was stoned off his ass."

10. We do not refer to the cross as the Big T!

11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it, for it is my body"; he did not say, Eat me."

12. The Virgin Mary is not referred to as the, "Mary with the Cherry".

Just how much is $700 billion?

A lot, or not that much. There are about 300 million men, women, and children currently living (legally) in the United States, so the bailout is equal to roughly $2,300 per person. That's right around what we each paid, on average, for gas and oil in 2006 ($2,227) and a bit less than our average personal tax burden ($2,432).

Stepping away from average Joes, $700 billion is equal to about 12 Bill Gateses. The assembled net worth of the Forbes 400 is $1.57 trillion, or more than twice the cost of the bailout. Titanic, one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, raked in $1.8 billion from the worldwide box office, so James Cameron would have to make roughly 381 Titanic-sized blockbusters to settle Wall Street's debts. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the single-year cost of obesity in the United States was $117 billion in 2000, or about one-seventh the bailout—although that number has been disputed.

Last update: 4:53 a.m. EDT Sept. 23,
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The Office of Thrift Supervision is pushing Washington Mutual to find a buyer and is considering brokering a deal to break it up between several banks, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the talks. If no outright buyer emerges in the coming days, the regulator could split WaMu's attractive deposit base and retail branch network and also share its troubled mortgage portfolio, the report said. Those participating in the WaMu acution were J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, , Citigroup, HSBC Holdings, and Banco Santander

Good Karma so far.day dream

I am not an economist by any stretch, or even an accountant.

So there's a lot about the Wall Street thing I admittedly don't completely understand. As in why all these huge companies need bailing out by the Fed, (That's you and me), and why it's necessary for their executives to make out like bandits with multi-million dollar severance packages.

But I am very leery of what Sect'y Paulsen is asking for, $700 Billion in Tax money, almost as a blank check , overnight, and don't ask any questions, (pretty much), just leave it to him. This of course is the Bush/Cheney plan too, and look at all they've already done to us over the last 8 years. Is this just one last, very expensive, hurrah??

Does anyone here have a pretty in depth handle on what's really going on and the logic behind it? And whether you do or not, what do you think of the entire matter? Short of the Great Depression, who ever heard of this kind of mess before?
