Aripya,
Honey I live in this place called reality. You should join me there sometime. Did you know Nashville unemployment rate is 17%. And from what I hear it's not the only one .

[:yawn:] Since you have not the slightest idea how it got to 17%, It is clearly worthless discussing how tragic and awful that unemployment rate is, and how it can be rectified.
From the same article:
So if they failed in 2009 they were in trouble in 2008. You know, when the recession was heating up.
You know, when your boy was on the hot seat.

I'm guessing it got to 17% because Nashville is a hole.

Nah, Nashville is actually pretty nice. A bit of a sprawl but not terrible.
Huge, huge dependence on entertainment and tourism, though, which tend to suffer during recession.

Nice. But when were you going to provide some sort of evidence that the failures were because of the administration and not due to the overall financial sector collapse?

I know it's hard to see, but there is a hair-flip and an effeminate finger wag in this sentence.

Having looked it up, I'm calling ******** on this. As of December it was hovering around 10%.

Well, your particular brand of idiocy is hard to deal with while retaining faith in humanity.
Can you try and spot where the downward trend begins on that graph?

Orson Welles' Citizen Kane premiered in the same year that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
Therefore, the two MUST be connected. Since Citizen Kane came first, it must be the cause and Pearl Harbor the effect.
Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because they disapproved of Citizen Kane.

I bet you do. After all, words are hard
But, for those troopers who carry on past the pretty pictures...
The article right below the graph wrote:
The Commerce Department's final estimate showed gross domestic product grew at a 2.2 percent annual rate instead of the 2.8 percent pace it reported last month.
It was still the fastest pace since the third quarter of 2007 and ended four straight quarters of decline in output. The resumption of growth in the July-September period probably ended the most brutal recession since the 1930s.

To be fair, even if it's one of the greatest movies of all time, I found it REALLY boring.
Rosebud is the sled. There. I just saved you two hours of your life.

84 banks closed last year, up from 25 the year before, up from 4 the year before. I see a pattern.
According to your last comment it was three in 2007. Stop inflating results to try and prove a point :)

It can't be both. What you're saying is that others have called it the greatest of all time but you A) disagree; B) lack the attention span to appreciate it; or C) lack the aesthetic sense to fully appreciate it.
Your choice, really.

I found it disappointing. Mostly because there wasn't even a cane. But also because my expectations were too high before watching it, I think. I can see how back then it was amazing and revolutionary. But i can't say i was stirred, or moved, or touched, or even really entertained. It was a bit like a museum of journalism in movie format.
I would have said a museum of framing and directing a movie; but yeah, I get that. It's mainly of interest to film students and other buffs at this point, probably.

Indeed. because it makes the top 10 of pretty much every "Top 100 movies of All Time" list, you feel you have to watch it, but... It's a bit like Stonehedge, really.

Aripya,
Must I educate you on everything? Every now and then it's nice to have a liberal validate their response with something other than 'you're stupid and I don't have the time'. That's such a copeout. Maybe next time. In the mean time allow me to show you some numbers that further prove my point about the state of the economy (under liberal democrat control).

I particularly like the graphs. The democrats with the leadership of Obama have completely f*cked this economy up. But hey as long as we stop spending money now and promise to tax only the very rich we'll be ok.

Years ago the credit ratings agencies stopped rating some financial products at their true risk rating. Financial products were being sold around and around not at their true price. Wholesale banks and financial institutions were loaning out credit to other banks where there were no true assets and not enough guaranteed income to back the repayments of the loans. The chickens came home to roost in 2007. All the banks became frightened of loaning to each other any more.
This was a disaster for American retail banks because the savings of American customers in each bank did not cover the demand other customers, such as business customers, had for credit needs. Most modern businesses use monthly credit to turn over stock. Suddenly American banks could not extend all businesses more credit, credit necessary for their usual operation, since foreign banks were no longer loaning cash to American banks.
Money has been choked off and choked out of the American banking and business system since 2007. So many institutions were carrying massive debt to asset ratios. It's like huge rows of dominoes slowly and inevitably toppling over ever since.

People have nicked bits of it and used them in their homes? Its exact purpose is still somewhat murky? It's a large, ancient group of standing stones?

If "Modern Times" are the Pyramids, "Citizen Kane" is Stonehenge.

Orson Welles certainly qualified for the last bit.
