General Motors had a good run.

100 years is a good time to end.

GM shares drop to 58-year low, global risks eyed

 

[Trurl]

I bet that the Dow has another 1,000 points to go before it sort of evens out. I know very little about stocks, but I think that will but it at where it dropped to around 2003.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

He is the worst.

nothing worst than Hannity

...nothing

 

[ToxicAdam]

Thank you.

Quoting here so it doesn't get missed. Anybody else? I'm thinking Hitokage, Cheebs...

It's not a huge issue (well, it is to me) but he was against NASA and the increased funding for the space program (specifically, the Moon/Mars programs).

He then changed his position in April.

WOW. In 2002, Bush actually told people with bad credit to buy homes.

So much for the VOLT...

if it DOES come out, it'll end up being 90k to make up for the differences.

No, they're driving away in all the GM cars to the giant parking lot in the sky.


Also, they're playing Monopoly at McDonalds.

Proof that the only stable stock in these turbulent times is OBAMA on Intrade.

If GM had invested in fuel-efficient vehicles as I recommended in my college freshman research paper (1999), they wouldn't be in this mess. Did they listen to me? Nooo, they though SUVs were future-proof.

Although what's with Macedonia, that's odd.

From least worst to worst:

Beck (dunno if he's before or after Limbaugh)
Limbaugh
Hannity
Savage

Agreed except who is Savage?


Also, I thought O'Reilly's recent Obama interview was awesome. I wish the McCain campaign had the balls to put Palin on.

 

[Tamanon]

Agreed except who is Savage?

He's like if you took Limbaugh and stripped away the cheerfulness. Just utter, complete hatred of everything he doesn't agree with.

The stock market is making it all seem like the last eight years didn't exist.....which doesn't seem that bad, actually.

Nah. The only one of those guys I can tolerate in a non-ironic way is Limbaugh. He is actually a pretty good entertainer. You can at least enjoy his show in that sense even if you think his views are crazy.

 

[The Lamonster]

But what is his first NAME, man

 

[ChoklitReign]

Agreed except who is Savage?

Radio show host Michael Savage, who told a gay prank caller to die from choking on a sausage and claimed that autism is a myth.

 

[Tamanon]

Nah. The only one of those guys I can tolerate in a non-ironic way is Limbaugh. He is actually a pretty good entertainer. You can at least enjoy his show in that sense even if you think his views are crazy.

I think it's because Limbaugh, even though he's a blowhard still treats it like a radio show, he has a schtick for saying things, well-worn jokes, musical bits and all that. Which is probably why his TV shows never work out, because he has a radio schtick.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

It's being run by the guys behind the McCain campaign.

So we're on the right track then.

Good stuff.

michael savage (aka michael weiner) is arguably the worst person in this country. well maybe behind dick cheney.

Looks like it's settled at -634.79 for the day.

Holy crap.

Technically it can't drop below zero. So there's that.

It won't settle for another ten minutes or so, gigantic sell-off to end the day.

Is it a good time to start a 401k at work or does it even matter?

 

[Fragamemnon]

.........

As opposed to Palin, whose very nomination to the office of Vice-President has done damage to the importance of that office.

Palin has gone from exciting the GOP base to inciting them.

 

[Hootie]

Man, by the way the economy is going, I wouldn't be surprised if the post count in this thread is higher than DOW by tomorrow afternoon :lol

Awesome.

 

[Fragamemnon]

if you have employer matching funds, there is never a bad time to start a 401k. Not even the stock market could beat the return you effectively get with an employer match.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I think it's because Limbaugh, even though he's a blowhard still treats it like a radio show, he has a schtick for saying things, well-worn jokes, musical bits and all that. Which is probably why his TV shows never work out, because he has a radio schtick.

He's the only one of those guys with a sense of humour. Now he's not George Carlin, Richard Pryor funny but you are right in that he understands at least part of the job is to entertain people. I heard Glen Beck for the first time a few years ago and I had always heard he was funny but I don't see it. I mean compared to Savage yes he is funny but I don't actually consider that funny. Limbaugh really does have a sense of humour. I think "Operation Kaos" was a perfect example of that despite him pretending he was dead serious.

It could potentially be the best time ever to, right?

 

[ViperVisor]

Beck on TV will push my brother to yell at me to change it or he gets up to do it.

The other guys are complete tools or are entertaining. Beck is a mindfuck to reason.

 

[Fragamemnon]

I do, though unfortunately I do not do so with the characteristic Southern drawl, as that was denied to me for some reason while I was growing up.

 

[speculawyer]

WTF is happening to the market all of a sudden?

All of a sudden? :lol It has been 7 sessions of losses.
