Fannie Mae forgives loan for woman who shot herself

"(CNN) -- Fannie Mae said it will set aside the loan of a woman who shot herself as sheriff's deputies tried to evict her from her foreclosed home."

Well, that's one way to settle your mortgage.

I feel like Rip Van Winkle, is it 1929?

Only for us po' folk. The investment bankers and lawyers are doing just fine, thank you.

How does a 90 year old person get a mortgage?

Here's a little NSFW imgage of a sign allegedly seen in NYC. A little vicious, but emotions can run high with a $700 billion bailout on the table.

With the pork, the bailout is now over $830 billion. Not that it matters. It's not real money, right?

And the $700 billion is aimed at the market, the investment banks and other swindlers, not for people who are losing their homes.

Let's Play "WALL STREET BAILOUT"

Wow. Great youtube anonymous. Thanks for posting it. Too bad they didn't listen to her version of the game.

The last clip at the end from W. made my mouth drop. Was that a fake, or did he actually say something that stupid? He has let loose with some loo-loos in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Please sign up to be an irregular and continue to post here. People will take your posts more seriously.

Saturday Night Live's take on the bailout

Why should average Americans follow the rules anymore? This is outright theft of our lives' work, and that of generations to come. It is much more devastating than 9/11, and the criminals who pulled it off are being rewarded with our money by our government. They should be stripped of their wealth and imprisoned, not given our money. Our children will be working for decades to pay off these swine. How can you vote for anyone who had anything to do with any of this? I'd rather elect gangbangers - at least they're upfront about who and what they are.

How would Americans in 1776 react to this? By worrying about their 401Ks?

KK, President Bush actually did say that. As usual you only get the small sound bite. It was a joke. Listen to all the reporters laughing in the background.

Here is another good video.

I begin to wonder if some of the MIT Black Jack Team members are now working on Wall Street.
