Looks like stocks are going to tank today.

U.S. stock futures fell early Friday after the previous session’s roaring gains, as investors awaited a key reading on the retail sector and reacted to reports of massive layoffs at Citigroup.

Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) is getting ready to hand out 10,000 pink slips, reported The Wall Street Journal, in addition to the 23,000 jobs that it’s already axed over the past year.

I’m hoping to see a 800 point drop. What about you?

I’ve always wondered where the foreign stock brokers were during this crisis. Every story I see dealing with Wall Street shows the same guy.

I wonder why the foreign guy is standing outside…:

Stocks slumped Friday, but managed to end off session lows, as Wall Street joined a worldwide market slump on bets that a recession is imminent – if not already under way.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) fell 312 points or 3.6%. The Dow slumped as much as 504 points in the morning, recovered to within 112 points of break even and then fell back again by the close.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 (SPX) index fell 3.5% and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) slid 3.2%. Both stock gauges had posted steeper declines in the morning.

Friday’s session capped off a tough week on Wall Street near the end of a brutal month. The ongoing credit crisis, sluggish profit forecasts and falling commodity prices have all amplified recession fears, and the weakness hasn’t been limited to the United States.

Oh….I get it. That Chinese man (or Japanese, Koren, Hong Kong…shit everyone looks the same. Even white people look the same to me…I swear.) doesn’t work for Wall Street.

How do I know that?   We wouldn’t be in this fucking mess if he worked on Wall Street.  Nope.  This fuck up is us white folks.

It’s okay though. See these white people didn’t kill anyone. They just stole people’s hard earned money and gave it their rich white friends.  Not one person was shot, stabbed, raped, murdered, set on fire, kicked in the nose, popped in the dick, falcon punched, or poked in the eye by these guys.

Now black people mess ups…that’s a different story.

Hey…this reminds me of a joke..you want to hear it?

Alright here it goes…

Today’s going to be a good day. At least according to Fox News:

U.S. stock futures plummeted Friday, pointing toward a very scary open for stocks, after Asian and European markets broadly sold off overnight.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 550 points, or 6.27%, to 8224 as of 7:15 a.m. here in New York. The S&P 500 futures were down 60 points, or 6.56%, to 855.20 while the Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 83.50 points, or 6.66%, to 1170.

Both the Dow and S&P500 futures have hit their “lock limit” – meaning that regulations will not allow traders to sell the futures off more. They can trade above those levels, but cannot trade below those levels. It’s similar to the New York Stock Exchange’s circuit breakers – which were put into place to keep panic selling from destroying the stock market.

With fair value calculated into the futures, the Dow is expected to fall about 450 points at the 9:30 a.m. open.

And I hope when those bald white middle aged fuckers see that point drop, they all die from sucking on the governments big black dick.

I hope everyone else has an amazing day….I mean that from the heart.

This country was founded on war. How dare Ron Paul for saying a good thing to come out of this banking crisis is less military overseas.  Doesn’t he know how much that will cost Americans?

How did this man get elected into Congress?

That’s the 700 billion dollar question.

Heeey now Johnny Boy. You didn’t think I was going to let you get away with this now, did you?

I’m freaking Barack Obama.  “The Truth”.  Have you not seen the polls yet? I’m not going to let you pussy out on me now. I’m going to spank your old ass in this debate.  Why do you think I’m been practicing all week?

You see Johnny McCain, I’m a leader and I’m going to do what leaders are supposed to do.  While you pat yourself on the back for announcing that you are about to lead, I will get up and speak to the American people about this situation.

Now do me a favor and get some paper and pen.  Why?  Because school is now in session.

Come on man.  This dude used to be a prisoner of war….PRISONER OF FREAKING WAR!!!!  You think he is not going to go down without a fight?  The Sarah Palin pick was merely a bodys hot…..setting you up for the knockout blow

POW!!!!

How do you like that now Obama…..how do you like that now?

Finally someone nailed the Obama camp.  For so long they have been making fun of Sarah Palin’s “Bridge To Nowhere” and now Fox News comes out with new information about how Barack Obama and Joe Biden both failed to strike this amendment down:

Although Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere,” Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive twice.

Both Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.

And both voted for the final transportation bill that included the $223 million earmark for the Alaska project.

An amendment offered by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, would have stripped the money appropriated to connect the Alaskan coastal city of Ketchikan to its airport on sparsely populated Gravina Island and diverted the money to Louisiana.

But Biden andObama and 80 of their colleagues rejected the measure, an amendment to a massive 2005 transportation bill that funded thousands of projects across the country.

Suck on that Liberal Media.   Fox News proves once again that they are….what’s that? This article was published on CNN’s website?  What did Fox have on its site during the same time period? Really?

Goddamnit it Fox…..

Oh come on.  Really?  Do we have to waste tax payers money on this kind of witch hunt?  Haven’t the heads of these companies suffered enough?  It’s not very often that a group of people can ruin the economy in this fashion.  Shouldn’t that be punishment enough?  Why do we have to “investigate mortgage fraud” too?  These people wouldn’t screw over the American tax payer.  That’s not why they got into this type of business.

I’m sure this is just the Left trying to drum up support before the election.  Why are they playing the political card when these poor people just loss their jobs?  That’s so un-American.  Republicans don’t do this kind of thing. If anything, the Republicans try to help those people out. That’s the philosophy the Right believes in.

Why doesn’t the FBI get the real criminals.  Those people who do drugs.  Leave these hard working, upper class citizens alone.  They don’t deserve any of this.  They were just trying to help out these great country and made one tiny mistake.

James Moore published an article on the Huffington Post, ripping John McCain for this stock market thingy.  I personally don’t understand what the big deal is.  If Bill O’ Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh say the economy is fine then it’s fine.  Those guys have never lied before and I’m sure they wouldn’t start now.  In the article Moore speaks thing about some scandal John McCain was in during the late 80′s.  I don’t remember it so I think he’s lying.

The S and L scandal, which may look precious when compared to our present cascade of problems, isn’t hard to understand, either. But it is impossible to take John McCain seriously on our current financial Armageddon since he was dabbling in the historic collapse of 747 S&Ls that occurred during Ronald Reagan’s era. In the early 80s under the Republican president, congress deregulated the savings and loan industry in much the same way that Gramm made sure there were no laws hindering our current financial malefactors on Wall Street. S&Ls simply lobbied until they had less regulation and then began making rampant, unsound investments.

McCain and four other US senators (known to history as the Keating Five) met with Edwin Gray, then chairman of the FHLBB. McCain had been hesitant to attend but had reportedly been called a “wimp” behind his back by Keating. The message to the FHLBB and Gray from the Keating Five was to lay off Lincoln and cool the investigation. Gray and the FHLBB did not relent but Lincoln stayed in business until 1989 when it collapsed with the rest of the S&L industry. The life savings of more than 20,000 elderly investors disappeared with the failure of Lincoln. Keating went to prison for five years.

Wait a minute there buddy, did you just say that John McCain was called a “wimp”? You’re talking about the POW John McCain? The guy who got his ass kicked for five years because he was an American? The man who wouldn’t leave earlier because the people who were captured before him weren’t allowed to leave? They called that guy a “wimp”?

See that’s how I know you’re lying in this article.  Anyone with half a brain knows that McCain did this on purpose. Why?  Because murder would be too quick (and it is still illegal….unless you are the state of Texas) McCain wanted them to be ridiculed in the public for calling him a wimp and messing up the economy was the only way for him to do this.

What about the American people you ask? Collateral damage.

Nobody is safe when John McCain is called a wimp.  Even God.  He can turn Lot’s wife into salt for watching fire rain down from the sky but He can’t give someone a mere cold for calling John McCain a wimp?

Where were you at this time Big Man?  You only get this pass once.  Don’t don’t f*ck up again.

What kind of story is this?  Why would CNN even run this?  I was expecting to find people selling their child’s organs on the black market not this:

Rebecca Fabian is the breadwinner in her family of four, and they are tightening their belts.

“I have given up doing my hair and nails, shopping, going to the movies, eating out, and buying drinks like Gatorade, Coke, etc. I drink a lot of tea, water, and Kool-Aid. I buy the cheapest groceries I can,” she says.

Amanda Scott of Owasso, Oklahoma, recently had to give up something very precious: her dogs.

Soon after Scott bought a new home, she learned that the cost of day care was going up by $10 a week. Then came the double-whammy. “We got an estimate to build a fence for our two basset hounds in the back yard. It was outrageous!” she says. “There was no way we could afford to build a fence.”

The fence cost, combined with the normal costs of taking care of two dogs, was too much. “It broke our hearts, but we decided we’d have to give up our dogs. Luckily, our old neighbor wanted to adopt them.”

A single mother with three children, Kathleen works a full-time job and two part-time jobs. Recently she listed what she has had to give up on iReport.com. The list includes cable television, land-line telephones, allowances, movies and eating out.

So we are supposed to feel bad about someone who has to give up getting their hair done, a couple that decided to give away their dogs instead of keeping them inside, and a single mother of three who had to give up movies and eating out?

This is what we have to live without? These people should be thankful for what they have. Do they have any idea what it is like giving hand jobs at ten dollars a tug, just to put food on the table? My seven kids aren’t going to feed themselves. What?  You think I’m going to get rid of my internet? Please.  Craig’s list is my life blood.  I loose that, I loose my kids.
