> I like itulip, but this video is just stupid

Yep. Sure looks that way today.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock...

Interesting video, but you could try a different approach to the fading of the clips. Instead of just stopping the previous clip and fading it away, mute it but let it continue while fading away. This way the newsreaders wouldn't freeze in a unnatural-looking way when they disappear.

Yes, we should have done cross-dissolves. The effect in some of the transitions is comical, which kind of works.

BAILOUT BILL: NPR reported 10/4/08 on This American Life that for the taxpayers to purchase this huge, stinking pile of garbage assets and get nothing in return is certainly possible.

However, someone in both Sen and House has added language to the bailout bill to give the Treasury Secretary the OPTION of requiring stock in the failed banks, along with the worthless assets.

Sort of like yes, we'll buy your bad debts, but we own a % of your business.

Q: How do we force them to do this now?

I don't get it. To what or to whom are you responding?

[ArchaicRevivalx2012]

Go fuck yourself.

This is as sensationalist as the mainstream media. Invest and hold for the long term. I'm assuming the median age of YouTubers is about 30. Have patience and a long-term outlook; the next 5 years are meaningless unless you're 63 years old right now.

A good collectio of clips. Thanks for creating that. But I reckon you should be watching some key bellwethers, like Builders stocks, which tend to peak 6 to 12 months before their related property markets. See my video response: "Are the Builders signaling a 2008 UK Property Crash ?" ... or click on my name.

There's not going to be a 2008 election. Do you really believe these criminals will allow a president of the people to be elected to dismantel this OIL war? They expended Billions of Dollars and Thousands of lives just to give it to Ron Paul or Hillary Clinton? I predict a 9/11 type event where Bush will declare Marshall Law and seize power like Adolf Hitler (his grandpappy's protege). You're gotta be jokin. The republic cannot be fixed hacked electronic ballot.

Pro-American Anti-War Vice President Dick Cheney bets against the Dollar: Cheney has between $10 million and $25 million in American Century International Bond (BEGBX). The fund buys mainly high-quality foreign bonds (predominantly in Europe) and rarely hedges against possible increases in the value of the dollar. Indeed, its prospectus limits dollar exposure to 25% of assets and the fund currently has only 6% of assets in dollars.
