These Banks, while bragging that they were "strong and solvent, were in reality in very precarious positions. Why was the FDIC Insurance levels raised to 250k days after WAMU failed? This would have helped the Bank a lot. Lets face it the fix was in on Wall Street and with the help of several key Federal employees in high positions who were former Wall Street Bankers, and guess what, "you know who" got the Bank he wanted, no matter if it was legal or not. J.P. Morgan then, took the assets and dumped almost all White collar employees, and did a quick chain sawing on WAMU, and the Seattle Real Estate Market has yet to recover. Good, devoted employees discarded like a used up tissue. I have to laugh.. while Seattle overwhelming voted for Obama, (well he could write a good book, but really had no credentials), well he is letting his buddies on Wall Street get a free ride for their crimes. None of them have or will be prosecuted by the Fed Attorney General under this President. Yeah, gotta love the super liberals. And what did Washington's Senators do about this..WAMU being taken over? Nothing. Hopefully, this book has so more chapters to be written. I wish someone would face some Prison for this. The crimes committed were heinous.

End of Gangs. Society is too permissive and it takes to long for criminals to get "justice."

I caught it in a health club steam room, probably nicking the skin of my calf on the grout in the steam room. I had to push the surgeons to lance the boil, as I had visited the emergency room several times, and even though it was huge, they said it was not "ripe." The last visit I had a slight fever, and was having difficulty walking, and the cyst was huge and dark purple. It was here that I asserted myself and insisted they lance it. They did, and all agreed it was definitely the right thing to do. I was taking several antibiotics, but this would not have healed till the lanced and drained the cyst. We had to dress the wound for over 3 weeks as they will not stitch an infected wound. A very painful and unpleasant task. Twice daily. We thought it was at first a spider bite, but later, the surgeons told me that many of these infections are improperly diagnosed as spider bites. Cat scratches can get infected, and is more common than you might think. MRSA and other drug resistant strains are a problem due to antibiotics being too liberally prescribed to patients, and not finishing them per the instructions. Antibiotics for viral infections like a cold, are a waste. If you want to monitor an infected area, outline it with a marker and see if in time the inflamed area gets larger.

It appears the "news" article has been scrubbed head to toe. And yes, it does matter.

NY attorney general Cumo reported that 9 banks that recieved TARP money paid out more in executive bonuses than they earned in Net Income? These "executives" almost brought the country to its knees with their stupidity. Where is the outrage? As it pertains to the man buying air conditioners.. we all knew this weather was coming.. its your fault for not buying an air conditioner before the demand was up... does not compare to Katrina. A few years ago we had a heat wave in July, they forecast it, so prior I went to Lowes and bought a window AC unit, thinking, if I don't use it I will return it.. guess what? I used it, and all the stores ran out. Same thing for Hurricanes, they forecast one was in the area, when I lived in Florida, I went bought plywood, screws etc. Guess what the Hurricane came and I was ready, the stores ran out.. Your lack of planning doth not.. You are all whiney weasles..

Soo when there are phrases above "different culture," you have no idea. They are animals.

Does he deserve to live?

A lot of americans laid off in pretty bad situations financially, instead we see companies continuing to bring them in by the "rice bag full." Its very wrong. I thought Obama was going to put a stop to this. I treat these people with the contempt they deserve, job thieves. Unions I believe are our only hope. I would love to see some radical groups forming to deal with this ourselves. So.. all of you that are unemployed, when you are in Redmond, Bellevue, and you see an Indian.. they have your job. How do you feel about that?

Its a form of treason, selling out the american worker to make a buck, for a few rich shareholders.

So the cards are stacked against us.

I have nothing but contempt for them, and Google and Yahoo for working with the Chinese to hone their search engines to deny their people access to information on the net.

We are now digging out of 8 years of corporate america running wild.. especially Wall Street. The economy today, is the result of 8 years of total incompetence in the White House and their willing accomplices on Wall Street. Was not the White House in the waning desperate last hours of the last Administration undertaking huge bailouts of the Banking System? People never talk about the tremendous loss of life of the Iraqis in the war. Thousands. Children with no parents, parents who lost children. All that is ever dicussed is our losses. Iraq's civilian population has lost a lot, part and parcel due to our medling. Don't forget it.

I won't eat Lobster. I know as a creature on this planet, they are low on the totem pole.. I just can't be part of it.

And lets not forget the Grizzly bears that gorge on them to build up their fat stores for winter, and HAVE been for centuries.

Apparently they have far too much time on their hands with this ridiculous stuff. Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:18:47 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/50645447.html#IDComment27159786 http://www.komonews.com/news/50358802.html#IDComment26830173 You gotta love these Pro Sports Stars! What wonderful role models they are for America's youth! The come into money, drive ridiculous vehicles, go to stripper bars, raise dogs that fight, have guns on their bodies, or in their vehicles and they are violent. Pro Sports has too exhalted of a position in our society. Their salaries are much too high compared to their contribution to society as a whole. Look at the salary of the President who makes decisions that affects everyone's lives and a Pro Sports player who makes many times more.. A friend once told me; "Trash is trash. Trash can come into money, but they are still trash.

However, if want to talk about greed and developers lets talk about these ugly townhouses that are right on top of each other, and outside of a very few - UGLY. And cheaply constructed. Particle board.. I have lived in many cities in the country, and the architecture here is ugly. I really can't see how people can drive into one and park in their garages.. I've also seen some rather large new condo's go up and apartments, the same cheap particle board. What's wrong with concrete, bricks, CBS? I see lots of older architectually beautiful houses that are brick.

And now we see some engineering flaws.. I hope the management that is responsible for this, gets no bonuses, no pay increases. With the wings needing some design mods, can they even take this plane in the air? I wonder if the move of management to Chicago is also a "problem?"

Lauderdale Fl. awhile back, for several years. Crime was a huge problem. Alcoholism, drugs, prostituion. The city fought the super lib's ACLU for years and now its gone. Why is it assumed the responsibility of the local municipalities to take care of these people? There have been beggars, alcoholics, "misfits," criminals since the beginning of time. I certainly don't want this in my backyard. Good for you students, if you don't like be vocal. Mon, 6 Jul 2009 20:31:05 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/50038122.html#IDComment26492236
