I agree 100%, scaredy. Excellent post!![/quote]

Oops!! I was supposed to give an opinion with which I didn’t agree…….Your post SUCKS, scaredy!! You don’t know what you’re talking about, and, besides, how the hell are you supposed to try on an opinion for size anyway…….

Nah, not working. Just can’t do it in this case. It IS a great post. Both astute and timely.

Not bad for a lawyer.

[quote=eavesdropper][quote=afx114]I’m not an economist, so maybe one can explain to me. If the S&P downgrade was such a big deal, why are people still pouring money into US Treasuries, driving it down to very low rates? Is it because the US is still the least worst of many worster options? (Yes, I just said ‘worster’).[/quote]

It’s okay, afx114. The financial crisis has been going on or some time, and the rabid press corps who are covering it for those of us “who don’t understand business” (yes, another priceless Rick Santelli moment on CNBC this morning) are desperate for new adjectives. Word is that they’re offering big bucks for novel descriptive prose that will produce panic in their viewers, and incite them into looting their local Super WalMart stores.

I’m thinking “worster” says it all. In fact, I’m getting my flame thrower out of my kids’ old toy box as we speak…..

As for the reasoning behind the brisk business in U.S. Treasuries? S & P planned it that way, naturally.[/quote]

Oops! Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard “worster” used pretty regularly on “Fox and Friends” to describe Obama as president, Obama as senator, Obama as candidate, Obama’s choice of judges, Obama’s appointees, Obama’s ideas, Obama’s strategies, Obama’s speeches, Obama’s ties….you get the idea. So you can still use “worster”, but you can’t enter it in the competition I mentioned previously. But getting mistaken for Steve Doocy should make up for it…..
