YES! Finally, Bill Shatner and many of our fellow tinnitus sufferers may be able to enjoy silence again. Hopefully.

Europeans are revolting at Obama's Mega deficit spending as well, and they aren't even the one's who will have to pay for it.

@2 there is to be no negative comment or discussion of Obama economic or banking plans.

Pls. make a note of it.

You can trust the wall st. bankers to plunge into the banking plan in which we give them all upside and no downside! They love the plan. So, you should, too!

Keep dollar cost averaging - most of the traders have given up, which is the sign of a bottom inflection point.

We'll see how long after today Topolanek remains EU president, as it doesn't look like he'll be remaining Czech PM.

One guy's opinion = the opinion of approximately 1 billion Europeans.

Can someone explain the Steve Scherr joke? I love a good SS bashing as much as the next person but I'm not following this one.

@2 & 3

Having conversations with yourself should be seen as a red flag to seek psychological help.

Thanks for the advice.
Do you recommend the psychologist you are using?

--It's limited to 27 condos that are the targets of a new marketing campaign that launches this week. They start at $299,950 for a 595-square-foot one-bedroom unit.

The developers will pay no more than $2,500 a month, principal and interest only. The condo must be the buyer's primary residence.--

300 grand for a CLOSET? I dunno about you, but I know few people who pay anything close to $2,500 for a mortgage or rent.

This is EXACTLY what is wrong with the whole goddamned economy - the amount of greed far exceeds the consumers' resources. I am willing to bet all these units will become rentals - it's happening all over N Seattle. Brand new townhomes can be had in a number of places for as low as $1,200 a month for rent. Check Craigslist and you'll see.

@11,

There are so many condos of that size going for $200k or less right now, and in much better locations than fucking Northgate. This isn't just a problem with the economy. This is a problem with this specific developer who thought that anyone is willing to pay $300k to live in a small condo in a boring neighborhood.

You're right. They'll either all be converted to apartments or they'll be auctioned off at half the asking price.

@12 - The thing is, I wouldn't pay 200 grand for a closet, even if it came with a happy ending.

You are way beyond that basic kind of help. I recommend some one who specializes in lobotomies.

The Osgood quote about the state's ruling against cabaret wrestling was brilliant: "We're in 'Looney Tunes' territory here!"

It's fucked up beyond belief when Ariel Sharon is a better example of a peacemaker than a presumptive PM. I am so fucking depressed.

Count me in on the tinutus sufferers. The Who and The Clash at the King Dome 1982. My ears bled.
