Yellen Confirmation Debate Begins At 3:00 PM, Confirmation Vote Scheduled For 5:30 PM
While there were some concerns that due to adverse weather conditions, the Yellen vote may take longer than usual with many senators’ return to Washington D.C. delayed, for now proceedings are going according to schedule: the vote is expected to proceed at 5:30 pm Eastern, with one option being that the roll call could begin as planned, leaving the tally open for a number of hours to allow latecomers to vote. As a reminder, Yellen needs a simple majority (51 votes if no senators abstain) with Democrats holding 55 seats in the Senate, so there will be no major surprises and Yellen will receive confirmation. The only open question is how many Republicans will abstain from supporting Yellen, and whether this will surpass the previous record of 30 Senators refusing to support Ben Bernanke during his 2010 renomination.
In the meantime, the actual debate surrounding Yellen's confirmation is set to begin at 3 pm Eastern.

I've got a tingle up my skirt.
Is it priced in or Thomas Lee fat finger S&P 2200 on the confirmation news?
Is that a white Kevlar helmet she is wearing?
I might as well get it started...
FUCK YOU, YELLEN!!!
Yellen like a felon!!!
Yo at least she's a fresh face, not an entrenched insider.

She's gonna prove that a woman can hold down the CTRL + P keys as well as any man.
There is only one cure for that tingle, or indeed anything at all--> Print.
Print is a pain killer, not a cure.
There is no downside to consuming copious amounts of painkillers.
If you have a hammer, everything is a nail.
If you have a printer...you priiiiiiiint!
There is nothing else.
Will there be a Yellin Put(a) ?
Debate (LOL!) at 3pm, Vote (LOL!) at 5:30pm...arrest by 7pm?! (Woo Hoo!)
Thinking of you...
Who says she is a WOMAN, this THING has hair shorter than Greenspan or Bernake
Are there no good looking Jewish broads out there the tribe can put up that can make this FED criminal organization more palatable.
Put her and Sebelius in black and you get a vixen Sith thing going there...might have legs...er perks...ah, deadly ? Does WB7 have a position or angle on this ?
I'm at the edge of my seat wondering whether she'll ne confirmed. It's exciting, isn't it? What odds are Paddy Power offering?
Yup ... a new person to hate on.
I would ask that you guys have WB7 liveblog the event.
He is easily going to be confirmed!
pods
Golly gosh, what will Ben do next?
"Debate"....LOL. I think you meant to say that a little kabuki theater will be put on for us followed by the politicians doing what they are told.
There are so many of them. It is mass debation (also know as a circle jerk, lots of circles, lots of jerks).
When I was little, I was so good at putting worms on the hook, they called me...............
For fuck's sake who cares.
The real new head of the Fed is Stanley Fischer.
And, I'm willing to wager, he doesn't have your best interests at heart, fellow babies. You may beg for The Bernanke before the end...

OT, but while most of us probably realize John Kerry was never going to do much but lend the appearance of an effort at diplomacy on the Israel/Palestine issue, apparently even that is too much for McCain and Graham:
http://mondoweiss.net/2014/01/netanyahu-mouthpieces-jerusalem.html
Well, at least Kerry is 'neutral'....
Yup...there is just no way that Bernanke's mentor and the High Priest of Central Banking is going to play second fiddle on this one.
They couldn't get Larry to the helm so they will be sending in Stanley hoping no-one on the Hill would figure out what evil he has in store for the planet. Make no mistake Yellen will not be calling the shots... she will be the female shield that protects Stan from criticism while he and his bankster friends ramp up the plundering of the planet...
What are they going to debate? The only other candidate was Larry Summers who repeatedly said on TV that his solution is to print money. Maybe it comes down to which candidate is uglier.
My guess is they will have 2.5 hours of dramatic staring with occasional finger pointing. All in an effort to generate images with appropriate levels of concern, of course.
Oh, and the only "NO" votes will be by those who think she's too much of a hawk.
and in other news, Angela Merkel has fractured her pelvis, thereby placing those incredible forward pelvic thrusts of hers, in temporary hiatus...
Oh Rocky!
That pelvic thrust, thrust, thrust, really drives you insaaaaaaane.
Let's do the time warp again!!

Her pelvis broke after repeated fuckings by all of the other EU members. Germany should ditch the EU and let it sink.
I wonder if that was a warning?

Congress will do what the NSA tells them to do. What debate do you expect in a fascist, police state?
Mr. Captain Yellen FOMC Show Opening
Are there call options for a Jew being the next FED chair? If so I missed my chance to go all in I guess.
On Bloomberg, <FU> <HEBE> is the chain symbol. Hope that helps.
My old lady won't stop yellen at me.
She is perfect for the job. She's got Alzheimer, so they put her in a chair with her fingers on CTRL-P.
Cross-Eyed and painless.
Leaking and shameless.
Where are Mexican vigilantes when you need them?
Congress: We need a moar motherly figurehead to sweet talk these jamokes back into our 100 year old Federal Reserve Ponzi Scheme. Is the NSA watching us? Do we need to go off record to continue?
Congress Critter: "Madame, are you going to continue to print money as Dr. Bernanke did so we can keep spending money we don't have on things that don't need to be done?"
Yellen: "Yes."
Congress Critter: "You have my vote."
the face is kind of repulsive yes no.
i was wondering as i looked at the face all stern like that with no humanity as i was looking i wondered to myself....

Looks like a positive up vote for Yellen. You didn't have any say as expressed earlier. Welcome to democracy fraudulently exposed.
The FED and Mrs.Debtfire could end unemployment tommorrow if they gave jobs to any/all who would work, having each and every one of them print MOAR...print MOAR. Print faster dammit, we have to print faster than Abe and the Chinese.
This is the new norm...Insert bull dyke strap-on wearing hitler looking man beast female.
It puts the ink in the printing press, it does this when ever it is told...It puts the ink in the printing press or it gets the strap-on again...PUT THE FUCKING INK IN THE PRINTING PRESS.
yuck, just put a bag over her head and throw her down the stairs
with a lunch hour? Why would you need more than 2 hours to appoint a Money Czar?
"I'm going to fuck this country up so bad, you'll regret making fun of how ugly and retarded I am!"
Printee, printee, make your Fiat hard a good long time. Do it free for years.
Re: Humor
Relax. We promise to only charge Yellen 75% of all revenues generated by allowing her to run her business from the street side kiosk.
From Monday to Wednesday, only a card table, 3 shell nuts, and a pea. On Thursday morning to Saturday evening, Yellen can bring one monkey, one organ grinder, and one quantitative easing soup can. Any deviations can constitute up to $10,000 bitcoin/$25,000 gold fee violations. No Sunday business is permitted.

Due to inclement weather, we have postponed the Yellen confirmation debates until after the Yellen Confirmation.
We trust this has not caused you any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Your Senators.
P.S. Nobody cares about the debates anyway.
Fiat shrinkage ? Its getting rough out there.
It's less of a "debate" and more like clowns who don't understand economic policy asking open-ended questions and nodding like bubbleheads at the answer.
The senators just want the shit that will hit the fan to be delayed so it doesn't happen on their watch, and they'll make a deal with the Yellen to ensure that their asses are in the clear.
They all need to be summarily shot for treason, but that's a subject for another rant.
Check out www.shitcentralbankerssay.com, she's going to provide plenty of material to dissect soon.
I'm going long on FRN green ink and those ugly-ass watermarks every Target employee thinks they can see when you hand them a 50
