Glenn Greenwald writes a hard-hitting piece:

There is a major push underway -- engineered by Obama's Treasury officials, enabled by a mindless media, and amplified by the right-wing press -- to blame Chris Dodd for the AIG bonus payments. That would be perfectly fine if it were true. But it's completely false, and the scheme to heap the blame on him for the AIG bonus payments is based on demonstrable falsehoods.

This is just too much. It appears Geitner & Summers are attempting to point the blame at Dodd when the exact opposite happened. Now I know Dodd is questionable at times, but in this instance, he battled against Geitner & Summers and introduced an amendment that would strip out the word "retroactive" in the Bill where bonuses were concerned. Geitner & Summers were battling Congress over this. Read on...

We should familiarize ourselves more with the blatant crimes Jim Cramer admitted to in the now infamous video brought to light by Jon Stewart. Cramer and his merry band of Hedge Fund thieves have learned how to illegally game the system of short selling and crippled countless businesses and their investors.

I will begin this thread with a video created by Bloomberg News called "Phantom Shares." It was also nominated for an Emmy for long-form investigative journalism. It's long, I know, (25 mins.) but well worth seeing to understand the compelling reasons why Wall Street is failing today. According to this report, there are billions of phony stocks floating around the stock market that have never been settled. It certainly gives new meaning to the term "toxic debt" that we hear so often now. I hope that shocks you enough to grab a cup of coffee, watch the video, and then meet me on the flip-side.

(Couldn't embed the video so am providing link for it.)

A couple of days ago, Daily Kos member "occam's hatchet" published a diary called "The New Ozymandias" and it was a brilliant adaptation of Shelley's sonnet "Ozymandias." Occam's Hatchet brilliantly used photos of today with the words of Shelley so long ago.

It was so powerful, I offered to do a video using the same photos and words and this is what I came up with. I wanted Occam's Hatchet to see it first but the email on his profile is odd, to say the least. (perhaps I'm missing something here.) Anyway, occam's hatchet, this is for you! Hope you like it.

Would you like to recapture a bit of the excitement we all experienced last Tuesday night? I've gathered pictures released from the Obama campaign; pictures from around the world; and pictures from across America, that show the celebration of President-elect Barack Obama's historic win.

Pour yourself another cup of coffee/tea and sit back to enjoy this near 7 minute production. You may find yourself cursing me at some point because the video makes you feel so good, you won't be able to stop watching it over and over again. But that's OK...it's totally nirvanic. Enjoy! :D

We did a little diddy called John McCain: He's Got Nothing and entered it in the Air America ad competition. It's made the top 10 finalists and we need our fellow Kossacks help to win!

Colin Powell knows he blew it as Secretary of State and practiced a little redemption today by endorsing Barack Obama. He exposed the wrong direction of the Republican party and expressed a desire for an all inclusive leader to guide us in the difficult years ahead. It takes guts to abandon the political party that built your career. He's made many mistakes, but today put the needs of the country first and is right for doing so.

Robert Greenwald's new video titled "McCain's You Tube Problem Just Became a Nightmare" couldn't be more true. McCain will be beaten silly by all of the video footage of his past comments available online to anyone who knows how to use a search engine.

I don't know about you, but I saw red when listening to Bush's speech before the Knesset. I also read it caught McCain by surprise and he had to make a quick decision as to whether he wanted to jump on Bush's bandwagon and use his speech to beat up on Obama. Bad, bad move Senator McCain.

A couple of days ago, there was an outstanding diary on Daily Kos discussing where John McCain was on the day Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. To many, it was a defining day for McCain and it illustrated very starkly, the type of leader he would be for this country.

I took most of the ideas and comments that came up in that diary,(damn if I can find it now) and created a video highlighting McCain & Bush eating cake while Americans were drowning. Thanks in advance for watching and many thanks to the people of Daily Kos for your fine ideas. I made sure to give kudos at the end of the video.

We used to laugh at Hillary's claim to having "a wealth of experience" and is the most qualified to be our next president. But when we began researching her life, we were amazed at the number of historical photos where she could be found.

Did you know she was there when Washington crossed the Delaware? Did you know General Patton was the first big general to endorse her? And would you be shocked to learn we found her at Woodstock?

This is a pictorial tour that takes a satirical look back (and ahead) at the many faces of Hillary Clinton, and all the great moments in history which could never have been the same without her.

I found this on Hal Turner's website today:

Since more than 100,000 of you read the story on Huffington Post about me being friendly with Hannity years ago, I made an offer on my radio show tonight:

I will release to the public, all the tape recordings I have between me and Sean Hannity both on and off the air IF, by April 15, 2008, those 100,000 readers of Huffington Post send me one dollar (or more) each until such time as I receive One-Hundred-Thousand Dollars ($100,000.) AND the deadline for the money arriving is April 15. If I receive the $100K by April 15, I will release via tape, CD and download from this site, all the "dicey" conversations we had. If I do not receive at least $100,000, by April 15, I will not release the tapes.

I will not speculate or make any representations about what is on those tapes, but suffice it to say I think there is material on them that you will find VERY useful!
