| Wall Street is onto something here, because the Demotards are suddenly awake and reacting, twitching all over like electro-shocked cadavers, showing some signs of something resembling life, motivated no doubt by the clearly populist tinge which led the "more-liberal-than-average" Taxachusettians to reject a lousy [female] candidate possessing every conceivable built in pre-electoral advantage known to (wo)man for a more charismatic [male] candidate who appeared to be goodlooking as well as glib, but hardly anybody can say for sure.
State Senate to White House with a brief stopover on Capitol Hill?
If any of this sounds familiar, think back to the last time a lousy [female] candidate for an important office came into a race loaded with all the advantages and proceeded to get "unexpectantly" trounced.....what is it about all these lousy [female] candidates, anyway? You just had one in upstate NY drop out of a race for a congressional seat that was held by her party since approximately the same time Caesar got et by two bruties, or wtf.
Anyway, enuff of the female candidate bashing, yr obdient servant never stoops that low. Thats Byron's job. Even the scintillating Claire McCaskill from the Probama camp is not out in favor of Bernanke's re-selection. She's having second thots. And so is Harriet Reid, for that matter. Women. Jeesh....

Geithner is down and almost out, too, his big-easy-on the big banks theory replaced by Paul Volcker's big-bang-on the big banks theory.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
What Volcker wants is for the big banks either to act like safe, boring commercial banks in order to remain protected by the Fed or, if they choose to act like investment banks they looose all Fed backstopping when their gambling ways lead them into bankruptcy.
Et tu, Mssrs. Glass and Steigal?
Presidit Obama, all of a suddenly, has decided to announce his support of Volcker's policy three days after last Tuesdaze wake up call, even though his policy switch to tougher banking regulations ha sbeen in the works since December.
Why not fire Geithner too, Mr. Presidit? This would make a nice matching set of sacrificial economists alongside the dumping of Bernanke.
I think Mr. Volcker would fit rather well in either chair.
Plus, he'd make a good pivotman for the WH 2 on 2 half court team....a lumbering George Mikan-type giant, but he can set a thundring pick, no doubt.

And in closing, healthcare reform is dead. Presidit Obama speaks about salvaging the pieces of the legislation that garner broad bisexual support. Uhhh, which pieces are those, Sir?
The semi-colons or the Pyrrhiods?
Maybe we can pass a bill to subsidize coffins for the hundreds of thousands without health insurance who will die bankrupt in the years to come for lack of health insurance.
This special election has positively been the best thing to happen to US politics since gay Republikkkans turned an underage page in 2006 and lost their dicks in the airport mens' room keyhole.
I feel so invigorated I might need to splash cold water on mine.
