Actually a lot of people are kind of pressed this week because of the need to compress a week of work in a couple of days.
You will be pleased to learn that we were very professional and had lots of common sense so that we were able to more than double our anti-Clinton threads while setting records for the "I am more progressive than that backslider Obama" threads. We also had 227 sightings of martyrs who complained that they were being forced off the site by people who criticized their posts while they were criticizing Obama, they had expected critical threads to be met with atleast 100 recs.
There was a resurgence of tin foil posters who claim that the entire meltdown was a scheme to loot the treasury for shareholders and it actually seems like it might be something because they are purchasing shares and loaning hundreds of billions. (If the economy comes back those assets should return to the government). The only problem with the conspiracy theory is that the shareholders are essentially being wiped out and the governemnt purchase of shares gives the government more security and dilutes shareholder wealth even more. If they had the power to conspire with the government you think that they would have better returns on their money (kind of like Austin Powers having the time travel machine conspiring to blow up the world when he could simply, as number 2 points out, buy Microsoft and Google for pennies.)
