They want to have something done by 4PM ET for the Asian markets.

[originalpckelly]

So, I guess this means we'll know by then how bad all of this is going to be.

1. Isn't that kind of late for the Boner to wait for a drink?

He might be sobering up by now and that could be a bad thing.

[CleanGreenFuture]

11. He doesn't wait.

[murielm99]

12. But he makes the President of the United States wait?

He walks out on the talks and does not return phone calls?

Asshole.

[snappyturtle]

2. On Face the Nation Scheiffer referred to (?-can't remember) that a solution or near solution

needed to be in place today because of the Asian markets.

[Rockholm]

3. They are just playing to the news cycle.

If not by 4pm, then all the newies will be going all night to have the morning script. They are trying to write this narrative. It's all about ratings.

4. is eric cantor getting into any short Asia funds at the last minute?

if so, I'd like to know how to get in myself, and make some easy money like he's done

5. Even a Republican should be able to pronounce "sayonara" or "sai djien"

Or "an yong hee ka za yo" or even "g'night, mate."

However you say it, they will start to wave goodbye to their American investments.

So what happens when China wants to cash in on $2 trillion in US Treasury paper?
I suggest we offer them Kansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi, and see if we have a
bargaining point.....

[Ghost Dog]

13. Hawaii. Sell Hawaii.

:(

[DFW]

14. Can't do that. My daughter would disown me.

She went to school there for 2 years, has loads of friends who live there. It'll have to be
someplace where I have no family connections, sorry.

[Ghost Dog]

15. Alaska?

:(

[DFW]

16. I've heard it's beautiful, but no real personal experience.

Only changed planes in Anchorage airport. Yeah, sure, if no one else objects. And the Inuit and other
indigenous people get to keep the land where they live, no matter what.

[ThomWV]

6. Are you suggesting they should take a short lunch?

Wouldn't that be asking too much of Boner and the Turtle-man?

[originalpckelly]

7. Oh no...

I'm saying we should know some of the details of the latest corrupt bargain.

It's a totally manufactured emergency, and they're fucking with people's minds to get them to go along with this shit.

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. Apparently, he is 'going it alone' with Cut Cap and Balance

:crazy:

Didn't someone tell him that the Senate killed it?

*sigh*

Here is the video from this morning. Listening to it now...

9. Also, 4:30 GOP conference call. They are blowing off the FX (4pm)

and moving the goal posts to 8pm (Asian markets open at 6)
