As far as political junkies are concerned, this show is only good for laughs. Ping-Pong balls work great for throwing at the TV when you hear a real howler. Every few minutes the show literally treats the audience like children -- using the device of having miscast, stiff-jawed Geena Davis (seems like she's had an early face lift) or the "first gentleman" explaining something about the world and her job to their kids. The real ninnies are the whole team behind this thing.
This show sucks! I watched it and boy did it suck!
I thought I was watching Hillary Clinton running the White House.
9:16 - maybe that is why they brought in Bochco. Now we'll see butt shots of Geena Davis, which isn't too bad since she has always been hot, but now at 50, is she at MILF status? Don't know. Haven't seen her naked in years.
"Commander' is a lobotomized version of 'The West Wing'! The Pentagon show 'E-Ring' is much better.
Mayor, didn't see an open thread. sorry. posted here.
Greenspan Concerned About Risky Mortgages By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer
Sat Oct 8, 1:58 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is turning up the volume on his warnings about the potential perils of certain risky mortgages if the high-flying housing market loses significant altitude.
There are signs some companies are getting the message. A few have begun scaling back some types of those mortgages or making them less appealing by raising costs.
Greenspan mostly is worried about homeowners who took out an interest-only mortgage or option adjustable-rate mortgages to buy property they otherwise could not afford. Borrowers and lenders holding such loans could get clobbered if housing prices drop or interest rates rise.
"In the event of widespread cooling in house prices, these borrowers, and the institutions that service them, could be exposed to significant losses," Greenspan said recently.
Greenspan has warned homeowners, lenders and investors that they should not count on similar increases. "History has not dealt kindly" with that kind of optimism, he said in August.
HEY DICKHEAD... no open thread doens't mean post your shit in every fucking story.
3:42 ok mr. dickhead master. my mistake, i learned from you.
Hey, does that mean when Hillary is President we get some butt shots of her?
How about some great cheesecake shots, you know, showing the legs, like the Betty Grable pin-ups?
Ooops, I think I'm gonna barf.
This show is nothing like what you'd imagine a Hillary presidency & White House, which would be interesting and fun to watch (and I don't even like her). This is just stupid TV.
