WMC has received a copy of the JASON report. (Is JASON really an acronym? Wikipedia knows all and tells all. No. Then why is it all capitalized? Guess those JASONs like yelling their name.) “In other words, you can’t tell the JASON and Nierenberg reports apart. OCS is nonsense.” No big surprise there.

And since I was the first to see WMCs post, I got to leave the first pithy comment, using my new wikiskills. And since I have more than 20 wikiedits, I am now a wikiexpert,{fact} which means I have to wikify all my wikicomments. ~~~~

In other news, Jim Cramer is doing his best to scr*w me. “I’d do anything to preserve UBS“. How the cr*p is anyone suppose to play the stock market with the government fiddling with it all the time. (Really?) The money quote, “…was there just seven hundred billion dollars that [Lehman Brothers] had borrowed from everybody with no collateral? It does appear that way right now.”

I’ve been saying exactly this for years. I wonder if anybody noticed, or if Stewart worked it out independently. (Okay, I stole the line from MT)

We’ve got three financial networks on all day. The bottom falls out of the credit market, and they were all running around. On CNBC I saw a guy talking to eight people in [eight different onscreen] boxes, and they were all like, ”I don’t know!” It’d be like if Hurricane Ike hit, and you put on the Weather Channel, and they were yelling, ”I don’t know what the f— is going on! I’m getting wet and it’s windy and I don’t know why and it’s making me sad!

WMC is taking bets for sea ice in 2009. My bet is the 2009 minimum will be the 2007 minimum +/- something. Which means I won’t be betting with him, since it’d be just a coin flip. The usual suspects have already admitted defeat in 2008, and have their bets in for 2009.

An unnamed source confirms that all crap has been removed from Wikipedia.[1] This also answers the question of where TCO has been the last few months.

In unrelated news, the articles for the 45th Vice President of the United States and the first-person, plural personal pronoun in Modern English. have been removed.[2] It’s suggested that until the vandalism is removed that you use the phrase “you and I” instead. Not to be confused with “you and us”[3], which will shortly be deleted as well.[4]
