After the mortgage crisis, congress passed a law saying credit agencies would now be liable for their ratings after they rated junk mortgage-backed securities AAA, and the day the law went into effect trading ground to a total loving halt because every agency said "you can't use our ratings anymore for your products!!!!" and the FCC had to step in and say "just kidding ignore that law"

Her love for the Republican Party began in the 80's. Over the years she was proud to have chaired a luncheon for Barbara Bush, chosen to be a delegate to multiple national conventions, counted chads, worked on multiple strike forces across the country, and helped elect many Texas Republicans including Governor Greg Abbott, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and President George W Bush. Patricia's accomplishments and awards were many. While governor, George Bush appointed her to the TX State Banking Board and the Red River Boundary Commission. Pat Peale's love for politics will live on forever.

My only regret is that she didn't live to see the Maoist Uprising

This is actually heartbreaking to me and not funny, but near the end of Jeb's campaign when he stopped wearing his glasses. Behind the scenes stuff showed his staff had been trying to get him to take them off for a year, but he always refused. They were the one way he'd always stay true to himself, the one thing he'd never compromise on, the one piece of dignity he'd have even if he lost. But then he gave in. This one desperate, last-ditch thing when his campaign was basically already over. It was nothing but a sign of how badly he'd been defeated.

Kinda reminds me of Newt Gingrich giving up his environmentalism in 2012.

Sarah Palin ended the career of hockey goalie Manny Legace after she was brought out on a carpet to do the "first puck drop" (NHL rip-off of the first pitch), and he tripped over the carpet and hosed up his knee.


I watched that in person and I was like "seriously, this is how it ends? That's the Blues for you."
