Failure Friday?
True, we did hear catatonic murmurings through the bathroom door before the announcement last Friday as Sheila Bair bobbed her head left and right rhythmically on the floor of her shower, knees pulled into her chest, rocking back and forth, hypnotically repeating "...absolutely safe... ...fully protected... ...ever lost a penny of insured deposits... ...none ever will... ...none ever will..." over and over again as the soothing hot water concealed the tears that would otherwise be streaming down her face.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Uh, Chairwoman Bair? Five minutes to air."
*No Answer*
"I've got your lucky penny here. Do you want to rub it?"
*Chanting Stops*
"Pooh Bear is out here waiting on your chair...."
*Silence*
"The cafeteria has butterscotch pudding tonight, your favorite!"
*Water Turns Off*
"I'm coming goddamn it!"
Strangely, silence is all we hear today. Anti-psychotics? Sedatives? A whole bottle of them? That there is good staff work.
Unfortunately, Upjohn is not public.

If she puts out another video like the last one,
I'll be sure that Moonies or the People's Church have taken over.
Ah the moonies, a fun destination in stamford when you first get your drivers license. Very fond memories of the moonies.
Pure brilliance. In a league with Stewart and Colbert. Maybe even better.
I needed that laugh. Thanks!
Marla can sure paint a picture can't she... not too shabby!
hey, hey! we got one already in Sparta, Georgia.
edit...looks like a minnow, don't have DIF hit yet.
Betting on a Georgia bank going down is like money in the bank.
you mean imaginary Fed Reserve printed money in an imaginary fascist banking system backed by an imaginary insurer who calls themselves the FDIC
No, I think he means 1 Sextillion Pengo, errr I meant Fiatscos. Or 100 Trillion ZIM$. What's it all matter among friends?
+1
i am disappointed that we have not seen more out of fla, cali, az.
maybe the airfare is still too high to ship the fdic crews out of d.c. cross country
Looks like a few FDIC crews have been permanently relocated to Georgia, which is within an afternoons drive to Florida.
Kinda like an election.Got to wait for the polls, er doors to close and all the workers to go home.Don't want a run on the bank to get all the cash that isn't there.
Likely only an appetizer before the main courses, only $58 million estimated cost to DIF on $157 million in assets.
Green - I hope you caught the action yesterday. Perhaps a misconception was answered....

She just has to keep the rules straight.

Perhaps some dialectical behavior therapy would help.

Marla, you forgot to weave the song from "The Crying Game" into the scene.

ew. just had another disturbing visual.
Can someone direct me to a bullish board with somewhat the same attitude as this one, and with equally valid arguments, philosophy, and most of all Dufresne and RoboTrader trophy pix, for going long?
I've been on these bearish ones for nearly a year and it's costing me a lot of psychosomatic illnesses,nervous eye tics, lost friends and accomplices, not to mention so many missed financial opportunities I'm beginning to think that the bear boards are yet another plot by Goldman Sucks to make money off me somehow just by tuning in.
URL's accepted as well as just names for Googling.
Please.
Check CNBC's website, I'm sure you can find some great boards there, maybe tips on how to keep your cheerleading costume from wearing thin at the knees.
Oh, and you can try making up all your lost money by shorting gold and going long commercial REITs. Hope that helps!
Try googling "Gold" "Record High" "Failure to deliver" "Tungsten Filled Bars" "COMEX Default" "Backwardation" "TEOTWAWKI" "BOHICA" "We Are Fucked" "We are holly shit fucked" "We are mega shit holy mary mother of god fucked to the Nth Degree"
Looks like we have our 1st failure of FDIC Friday.
On Friday, November 6, 2009, United Security Bank, Sparta, GA (including the branch that operated as the Bank of Woodstock) was closed by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. No advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution is closed.

damn, marla. that was intense.
"I'm coming goddamn it!"
Does this count as a double entendre easter egg?
what's my prize......
Oh, you caught that one did you?
Well... we know where your mind is Deadhead... I never would have caught that in a million, zillion years... and I think your prize is to have that visualization burned into your mind for the next 10 years :-)
ouch!
whoops DH... no offense meant... came off a little stronger than I intended :-)
oh goodness Minn.....absolutely NO offense taken: actually, quite the opposite....i thought your comment was funny as hell! Keep 'em coming (pun intended)!!
:-)
I didn't notice the three speed... perhaps life at the top office aint all it's cracked up to be.
Never watched the Sheila Bair message before, she actually says "substantial authority to borrow from the Treasury dept." ending with "in short we cannot run out of money.". Why did she have to say that last phrase? Her speach almost seemed credible, as long as you never look into the numbers. But then she had to spoil it all with that phrase from the book of Bernanke. "A bank is a non-failure event"... Well, when you have over 100 per year and mainstream media doesn't even mention them it at all. I'd say the FDIC is just the "to small to matter" club. Until it matters and it's too late...
Print baby Print has replaced drill baby drill.....
And we have #2: Home Federal in Detroit, MI
up to four now but the night is young!!!! oh by the
way how about changing these math questions to some

up to four now but the night is young!!!!!!!! oh by the way you should cut out these math problems especially since i don't have a phd in mathematics.
Start Menu ---> Calculator
Most of the math problems are around the 7th grade level (or what was the 7th grade level just 20 short years ago).
Agree. This morning I got Blank plus -29 equals -57. Now we all know the correct answer is -28. Yet the blinking thing told me I could not use an answer with three characters. WTF????
Marla - You are so very Rocked. I think I love you.
