| 03:08 pm [Link] | Guess I'm not the only one comparing D vs R presidents' effect on economy: Despite 'market friendly' Republican policies, stocks rise more and volatility dips under Democrats. what these numbers show almost beyond doubt is that Democrats are better at virtually every economic task that is important to Republicans Data for the whole period from 1948 to 2007 [...] show average annual growth of real gross national product of 1.64 percent per capita under Republican presidents versus 2.78 percent under Democrats.

| 01:23 pm [Link] | Перыядычныя заняткі танго, канешне, б'юць па кішэні, але й прыносяць псыхалягічнае задавальненьне, прычым не заўсёды напрасткі. Трохі месяцаў таму ў мяне зьмянілася першая лічба вагі, а паход у краму сёньня пацьвердзіў, што першая лічба ў памеры нагавіцаў таксама паменьшылася. Frequent tango dancing, of course, drains one's pocket, but brings a lot of psychological benefits, sometimes in a non-direct way. Several months ago the first digit in my weight changed for the better; the trip to a clothing store today confirmed that my pant size also shrank. Current Music: Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity |

Metallica - Death Magnetic А Металіка тымчасам запісала новы альбумчык 'Сьмяротны магніцік'. Вось на вытрубцы ляжаць 4 песьні, ды й астатнія недалёка. У адрозьненьне на папярэдняга St Anger, які я проста ніасіліў даслухаць да канца, у гэты раз усё гучыць прыстойна, ў духу "...And Justice for All" і трошкі "Master of Puppets" - такія-ж доўгія песенькі з гітарнымі салякамі (мне нават здалася, што ў першай песеньцы ёсьць нешта ад Blackened, ў другой ад Sanitarium, а ў трэйцяй ад Master of Puppets). Запісана ўсё, канешне, вельмі гладзенька, мэлёдыі вылізаныя, галасок Хетфілда гучыць незлабіва, карацей кажучы, гэта сімулякр былога велічу. Але, халера, падабаецца данельга :) |

Get Shorty! Americans have trouble with long words. So it shouldn't be surprising that my highly scientific analysis of the last 10 presidential elections shows that in 8 of 10 the winning ticket was the one where the combined length of the last names of running mates was shorter. The rule is "Whichever ticket has the shorter combined length wins, except for Democrats running against Bob Dole, when they win anyway" :) 1968 NixonAgnew HumphreyMuskie 1972 NixonAgnew McGovernShriver 1976* CarterMondale FordDole 1980 ReaganBush CarterMondale 1984 ReaganBush MondaleFerraro 1988 BushQuayle DukakisBentsen 1992 ClintonGore QuayleStockdale 1996* ClintonGore DoleKemp 2000 BushCheney GoreLieberman 2004 BushCheney KerryEdwards *Bob Dole on the R ticket Based on that, we can predict that Obama/Biden will win over McCain/Palin. |

Golden Arches Safer Than Uncle Sam? http://seekingalpha.com/article/97571-g Word on the street is that the credit risk of the Golden Arches are better than Uncle Sam.  VS.  5 Year Credit Default Swaps on McDonald’s Corp are trading at 24 to 29bp while US Credit Default Swaps are trading 30bp. This means that it is more expensive to buy protection against a default of the US government than a bankruptcy of Mickey D. Tags: shmeconomy |

FDIC May Need $150 Billion Bailout It won't take many more failures before the FDIC itself runs out of money. The agency had $45.2 billion in its coffers as of June 30, far short of the $200 billion Whalen says it will need to pay claims by the end of next year. ... A federal takeover of Washington Mutual, which has assets of $310 billion, could cost taxpayers $24 billion more, according to Richard Bove, an analyst at Miami-based Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. WaMu failed today (see my previous post). So after this FDIC will have half the money it had... Tags: shmeconomy |

Presidential vote predictions Ok, it's time to make your predictions. Here's mine. Mostly the vote outcome will be the same as in 2004 (for example, FL will vote R), with the following differences: - Democrats will pick up Iowa and New Mexico; - Republicans might pick up New Hampshire. The three toss-up states for which I am not making predictions and which will be key factors in deciding this race are Virginia, Ohio and Colorado. Whoever gets any 2 of these 3 will win. Make your own predictions in the comments. |

That's a good one I was talking to a friend's little girl, and she said she wanted to be Vice President some day. Both of her parents were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were to be the Vice President of the United States of America, what is the first thing you would do?' She replied, "What is it exactly a vice-president does?" And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party, sweetheart." thx shvarz@lj for the link |

Massachussetts - politics as usual Джон Буономо - вор, што тырыў дробязь з ксэраксаў - перамог на ўчарашніх праймерыз John Buonomo, the Democratic Middlesex County probate register charged with stealing from the Registry of Deeds in Cambridge, was elected without opposition despite his recent resignation, which came too late to remove his name from the ballot. Buonomo is widely expected to withdraw from the race, at which point the ward and town Democratic committees in Middlesex County will pick a replacement to put on the November ballot.

Следствия традиционные: перекрытые входы-выходы-переходы, пустая красная площадь, прилипшие к окнам продавцы и покупатели, etc. Но было и новое. - ( администратор - продавщицам ) Света! Лена!!! Вам что сказали - быстро в подсобку!!! - ( мама - администратору ) Ну а это у вас что происходит? - А это распоряжение. К приезду президента всех высоких продавщиц - убрать. 2) http://kolyaka.livejournal.com/156720.h Поступила директива В мягкой, дружественной форме попросили обходиться в карикатурах без медведей.

Republicans are good for economy? Let's assume the president does affect the economy. Let's assume Dow Jones is valid approximation for the economy status. Let's assume CPI is a valid approximator for inflation. Let's take the Dow-Jones values at the beginning and end of presidents' terms and compare how Democratic presidents do vs Republicans. (I took DJIA values from http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=^DJ The results are - during the 7 Republican terms (Nixon, Nixon/Ford, Reagan, Reagan 2, Bush, Bush Jr, Bush Jr 2) DJIA multiplied by 3.667; during the 5 Democratic (JFK/LBJ, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Clinton 2) - by 4.765; the CPI-adjusted DJIA multiplied by 1.088 under Republicans and by 2.184 under Democrats. So the end result is - any growth caused by Republican presidents is eaten by inflation caused by their excessive spending. Party of small government, indeed.

Якая ўсё-ткі ангельская мова прыгожая Менавіта ангельская, амэрыканец так ні за што не напіша First I felt woefully out-of-touch. Then I simply hated the world a little more. And then an uneasy thought came over me. If the majority of other men genuinely spend hours hoisting their scrotum over the bathroom sink with one hand, nail scissors in the other, meticulously snipping and pruning their man-bush into a tiny ornamental hedge, until their entire pubic region resembles a tranquil arboretum in miniature, albeit one with a cheerful bit of dick poking out of it |

The Onion - Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain DAYTON, TN—A steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small Tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of Charles Darwin—author of The Origin Of Species and founder of the modern evolutionary movement—made manifest on a concrete wall in downtown Dayton.  Darwinic pilgrims claim the image fills them with an overwhelming feeling of logic. "I brought my baby to touch the wall, so that ( the power of Darwin can purify her ) |

Mass Primaries Заўтра ў нашым штаце прамерыз. Шмат дзе ўся палітыка вырашаецца менавіта там, бо на лістападзкіх выбарах перамагае дэмакрат, таму некаторым магчыма мае сэнс схадзіць і прагаласаваць. Вось тут: http://www.imagineelection.com/ можна ўвесьці адрас і ўбачыць, хто будзе на бюлетэне й пачытаць біяграфіі кандыдатаў. Самае сьмешнае: On September 8, 2008, John Buonomo resigned from his position as the Register of the Middlesex Family and Probate Court. He was caught stealing thousands of dollars from the copying machines at the court. There is a posted youtube video with footage from the security cameras that caught him in the act. І калі досыць людзей ня ўпіша ймёны другіх кандыдатаў, ён можа стаць афіцыйным кандыдатам! Mass has primaries tomorrow. In a lot of places all real political decisions are made there, because November elections are won by whoever happens to be Democratic candidate; so if you are in one of these places, it might make sense to go and vote. Here: http://www.imagineelection.com/ you can put in your address (put your neighbor's address if you are concerned about privacy) and see who is going to be on the bulletin and read the candidates' biographies. Here's the funniest one: On September 8, 2008, John Buonomo resigned from his position as the Register of the Middlesex Family and Probate Court. He was caught stealing thousands of dollars from the copying machines at the court. There is a posted youtube video with footage from the security cameras that caught him in the act. Unless enough people write in other candidate's name, this crook will be an official Dem candidate. Tags: poly-ticks |

Толькі пра добрае Зьезьдзілі ў Мэйн вучыцца прымітыўнаму выжываньню. Ня ведаю, як выжывалі дакалюмбавыя індэйцы, але мэйнскія камары апынуліся самімі злобнымі з усіх, што мы сустракалі. Яны проста ня ведалі, што алей цытранелы павінен іх пужаць, што апоўначы лятаць і кусацца ня трэба. Нават у флярыдзкім John Pennekamp парку былі не такія злобныя, здаецца. Вось здымак "We survived the Earth Living workshop!"  Знайшлі у суседнім гарадку кітайскі буфэт з сушамі. У лістападзе да нас даедуць The Sisters of Mercy! Замовіў квіткі. ( in English ) |

Звычайны цынізм / Ordinary cynicism Часам думаеш - ну ня могуць улады быць настолькі цынічнымі. Але кожным разам сьцьвярджаецц - могуць. Глядзелі ўчора КВЗ. Запіс быў зроблены ў ліпені. Я, як толькі пачуў, што адзін з бакоў - сумесь з абхазкай ды асецінскай камандаў, адразу сказаў, вось яны й выйграюць. І сапраўды. Жарцікаў у іх добрых амаль што не было (у адрозьненьне ад Прымы, якая зрабіла проста шэдэўр), але-ж раз-і перамаглі Sometimes I start thinking - the powers cannot be that cynical, ut every single time I find out they can. Yesterday we were watching KVN, the show was recorded back in July. As soon as they announced that one of the competing sides consists of teams from Ossetia and Abkhazia, I immediately said "they will surely win". And really! They had almost no good jokes (especially compared to "Prima", who made a real masterpiece), but still were awarded a victory |

| 11:42 am [Link] | Выбар Макейна мне падабаецца тым, што канчаткова перавёў (для мяне) гэтыя выбары з разьдзела 'Палітыка' ў разьдзел 'Забаўкі'. Паглядзіце, пяцёра дзяцей, цяжарная дачка, плёткі, што сын на самой справе ўнук - гэта-ж чыстая мыльная вопера! Вось і зараз чытаеш артыкул і не адразу разумееш, гэта сур'ёзны камэнтатар ці гумарыст. McCain also understands this election is about inexperience. America doesn’t want another Bush administration, and the only way to insure that is to elect people so inexperienced they don’t know enough about the government to corrupt it. Barack Obama’s set the experience bar pretty low, and to win, McCain needs to fail to clear it. Hence Sarah Palin, whose main qualification is she’s not a terrible mother. I can’t imagine a candidate less ready for national power — or more perfectly what Americans are looking for. By choosing Palin, McCain has guaranteed his victory in November. And also another four years of slapdash, incompetent leadership. But really at this point anything else would feel weird. |
