You asked for it, you got it. Here’s your open thread for the day, where you are welcome to talk about anything you want. Let’s still try to keep it PG-13 and as polite as possible. This should be interesting!

This will be on the test.
I’m saving some of these articles and magazines about the events of the past 6 months. I think they are historical, and I think that when we look back on this in 10 or 20 years – it’s going to be something we won’t have forgotten easily.
[And yes, I saved the NY’er and NYT magazines after 9/11.]
No more poo mist or poop stories, please?
I have to say one thing. This has been the most civil day ever on Brownstoner. I can’t believe it! I’m having a conversation with Biff and not once I “went off”. Please will someone call me a Asshat..
Later Guys..

“Both characters. Rent the movie and watch it (Redux Version).”
What, I watched the redux version not that long after it was released in 2001. The movie still holds up incredibly well.
“That’s why lounge acts died out.”
It’s better to burn out, than fade away.
“since the Great Depression”
“Black Swan”
“historical”
blah, blah, blah
“Nothing worse than Biff’s lounge act.”
That’s why lounge acts died out.
Rob, I’d hate to hear the ‘R’ rated version of your 4:10 post.
“What, did you have in mind Capt. Willard or Lt. Col. Kilgore when you adopted the phrase? I always assumed it was the latter given I believe you’ve used the napalm reference here before as well.”
Both characters. Rent the movie and watch it (Redux Version).
“They’re called cycles What. We’ll be in another up cycle faster than your doomsaying could imagine.”
No Dave this is not a cycle, this is the after effects of a Mutant Asset Bubble. The events in this last year are historical in nature. Most of our largest Banking Institutions are gone. The US Government is assuming liabilities for Citibank, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Bros. Plus don’t forget in Maiden Lane the NY Fed is still holding the liabilities of Bear Sterns.
Here you go Dave! I can do this all day long…
Fed Refuses to Disclose Recipients of $2 Trillion (Update2)
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=apx7XNLnZZlc&refer=home
Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve refused a request by Bloomberg News to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.
Bloomberg filed suit Nov. 7 under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act requesting details about the terms of 11 Fed lending programs, most created during the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Pay attention Boy’s and Girl’s at the quote “since the Great Depression.”. This will be on the test..
