*Morning Market Roundup: EU Recession Getting Worse, Oil Down, DOJ Goes After Taiwanese ‘Price Fixers’
Stock market is tanking globally, not just here
BBL…
the Treasury , Big Ben need to buy more mortgage back bonds that will go bad. Banks love it.
Mark
I basically laugh at Obama getting 47% on the latest Ras. Poll because that is all those lazy moochers who have no drive(according to Romney)
Jeff and I have trust funds out of the Country . Like U2 and other libs. So. we do not pay tax
d.d.
Now, Rats & Coffe, I have to sweep & mop , plus wash clothes & it isn’t funny either.

Anyone watch the TV program Scandal?
I do not, but they have my street all jacked up for filming today.
If coffee Steve watches it, I’m definitely running up and down the street with
ObamaBiden2012 sign in one hand and a coffee cup in another.
That was intelligent and nice, good job
Murdoch’s Fox No-News Corp. coverage of the protests in the Middle East are Anti American, No-News is using these protests for political purposes. Murdoch’s No-News Corp. is a political propaganda machine for the GOP Party of Crazy Stupid.
@Doug Z & Mark
The thing to take away from the polls is, just about all of them are within the margin of error. The media can hype the media may cry, the media may lie, but
This is and will be a close race

@Eggmanbill
You do not deserve any reponse
Eggmanbill
of course you are going to report on mainstream media, the alphabet is network and their liberal bias. The reason box was so successful so fast is they have no competition. In the world of economics that make you a star, rich, successful, number one..
I am a follower of business and I so Rupert Murdoch many years ago. It interview where he said he was going to start a is network. He said that the United States had all liberal news so that there was a position for the other side.
I was not smart enough at that time to buy news Corp. stock.
@Doug Z
I was not smart enough at that time to buy news Corp. stock
When the stock went low on the Star & Newscorp scandel I bought some just for fun, by the time I had to sell off when I took that job, I made a wee bit when thier stock recovered and did very very well
Doug Go to gallup and read the charts in depth, and they say Romneys having a bad couple of weeks?
Are you guys reading different numbers than I am???? FNC is still number one. Period. You all look at the ONE number that shows a slight lead and leave out all the rest that show MSNBC loosing. blind. And even people that watch FNC regularly dont watch Hannity. not much competition for Maddow. Hannity’s numbers come from people who forget to turn the TV off after the factor.
Libs and the four Ls
the 4L criteria:
Left Leaning Liberal Liars !
@Brian
What it is is these are the best numbers MSNBC has had in a very long time, yes Fox has been and will remain number one, but our Left friends who watch MSNBC deserve their day in the sun
@ Coffee Steve
Apparently so.
BOOM!!!!!!!
My beautuiful 28 year old daughter had to take a test to be able to teach and be an aid at the school system here
SHE BLITZTED IT!!!
Dad is now going to pick her up and shall take her out to celebrate, she starts at a school next Wednesday
BBL this evening
Peace
Brian…..it’s because the only numbers that matter to the news networks and advertisers is the demo. Which is what manbc has won for the past few days….
Guys,
Where’s the fairness?
It’s not quite 2PM here & I’ve :
rode exercise bile 10 miles
dusted & vacuumed whole house
Bona mopped all the wood floors
cleaned ceramic floor in 1 BR
Brushed the long haired #%# dog (1 hr)
worked in 2 flower gardens weeding (1 hr. 20 min,)
washed 1 load of clothes , folded , & put them away
& I need to decide what’s for dinner yet
All while my husband plays golf & then retires with his pals to drink beer
Msnbc*
d.d.
will you marry me
