Last dance...last chance...

So I blew of my run this morning and slept in with the husband. I just was not feeling the love after my training yesterday. I really was supposed to make up my bike session but I hate the bike. So I rationalized I can do my run after work and make up the bike tomorrow. We'll see...

I was dialoguing with JW today about an editorial in the WSJ which was talking about how the current Administration for all its campaign rhetoric is just continuing the Bush policies regarding detaining enemy non-combatants. We had a nice intelligent discussion and got to a lot of common ground even though I am right of center and he is left of center- I guess we reached the center. The best part though was when he sent me a link to a bunch of videos titled Green Porno. Isabella Rossellini must be really hard up for dough if she is doing those web videos. The first one he sent almost had me in tears- it was so wrong, so funny and she was so sincere it was scary.

So I have not really kept up with the craigslist killer story but today Mom IMed me that Dad may actually know the accused. Apparently when Dad was the superintendent one of the members of the local board of education had a son by that name. She wasn't sure but Mom is pretty good with that kind of stuff.

The ex called me today to tell me this Friday I don't need to pick up the boys until 9 PM. My oldest has his last school dance of the year.

So the tape rallied today. The mainstream business media tried to say it was because of Turbo Tax Timmy's commentary regarding banks having more than enough capital. Well if that really is the case then why won't the government let the banks repay the TARP? What I think really sparked the rally was CAT's commentary on their conference call. The company supposedly had called the recession back in '07 and so when they said they thought we were at the bottom that caused a pop. either way it is a head fake I think. Mainly because FNM and FRE said they are seeing prime loans now go into default in a huge way. This past month so called prime borrowers defaulting increased by fifty percent. The real estate damage is so not done yet.

The most entertaining comments I read were from the CEO of RF. He basically said TARP is a huge goat-fuck. The government keeps changing the rules on a day to day basis and is using TARP to implement a social policy program instead of addressing the economic causes of the current mess we are in.

I did do my run after work and was psyched I got three and a half miles in in a mere twenty nine minutes. Tomorrow I will be swimming in the AM and then maybe doing my bike after before the husband and I have dinner with MP who just got back from vacation.
