@buddy larsen:
Incoherent turmoil sending so many rational players to sidelines that even wilder swings go undamped by depth. Who are these accounts? Where are they from?

Fannie’s CFO and Risk Manager both just resigned, BTW, after mkt close today.

Well, OK. It does seem to make sense that all that money, “foreign” and otherwise, looking for a “safe harbour” is going to always trump the Elliot Ness and The Feds, et al, by setting them off on wild goose chases or quagmires (Sarboxia, right?), or whatever else they’ve pumped and dumped dry. All that Saudi-Dubaiskii money is no doubt much more huger than little Georgie Soros, even.

So, it is no stretch to imagine that the party of the Already Rich (starts with a “D”) would be subject to fits of “reconstructed” candidate pimping while engaged in these shenanigens.

So, yes, if something concrete exposing that which is easily distinguished from moonbattery comes up, great. Maybe it “has to” for American of the [not world wide wealthy] Americans to continue.

I don’t know. I do think paying attention to either “Convention” is an abysmal waste of time. I think the entire blogosphere has turned to chasing “the big story” while ignoring “the real story” with a vengeance. Fatigue? Corruption? Who knows?

Russian build-up to war around the Caspian is more immediately significant than self-congratulatory PJM’ers or their Nutroots counterparts seem to be able to understand, and I don’t like that at all.
