Rate Your Governor

Mercury · 10-22-2011, 07:47 AM

My governor, John Kitzhaber, is a fuckin pussy. I mean, he seems like an intelligent man and all, but the man doesn't pwn his position like he should. I'm not speaking on any particular issue here, I'm just saying if you're a fucking governor you ought to carry yourself like one. My governor just looks and acts like a glorified state worker. And that's how it's always been in Oregon. We've never had a badass governor. No Schwarzenegger, no Jesse "The Body", none of these slick dudes who are always on the cable talk shows and in the news, no Romney or Palin; our governors NEVER even run for president!

What kind of lame shit is that? I want my governor to rule with an iron fist and I want the country to know who he is. I also want him to have a loud, thundering voice and to wear a sash and a top hat while he's at it. I want a governor that's worth some goddamn reverence!

(I'm just rating him a 2 star instead of a 1 star because there hasn't been a sex scandle.... yet)

I have a Premier. I'll give him a passing grade simply because he isn't a conservative.

We actually re-elected Jerry Brown in CA, so I forced to assume that life is an absurd illusion and nothing really matters.

Brian Schweitzer-You are a tubby, cowboy-tie wearing bastard. However despite making sure our state lives up to its cowboy stereotype, you vetoed banning Montana Medical Marijuana, you vetoed gutting Planned Parenthood, and you consistently fight the Feds on gun control and the National ID.

Brian, you may be a Democrat, and we will definitely lose you due to Montana term limits next year, but goddam if you aren't the best governor a boy like me could ask for. Four stars.

MF Global files for bankruptcy protection

Quote:

MF Global Holdings Ltd., the securities firm run by former New Jersey Governor and Goldman Sachs head Jon Corzine, is seeking bankruptcy protection one week after reporting its biggest-ever quarterly loss.

MF Global shares plunged 66 percent last week. Besides the loss of $186.6 million for the fiscal second quarter, investors were spooked when MF Global's debt was downgraded to junk status. Credit-rating agencies expressed concern about the firm's $6 billion portfolio of European debt.

MF Global appears to be the first major U.S. casualty of Europe's debt crisis, although last week it sought to reassure investors that the investment in European sovereign debt was prudent. It blamed the big loss on weaker-than-expected trading revenue and one-time costs.

Trading in shares of MF Global Holdings Ltd. was halted early Monday. The Wall Street Journal and others reported that Corzine worked over the weekend to find a buyer. The Journal says that an effort to sell the firm to Interactive Brokers Group of Greenwich, Conn., fell through.

The filing came after

the New York Federal Reserve said it suspended MF Global from doing new business as a primary dealer. MF Global was one of 22 companies considered financially secure enough to sell US government debt on behalf of the Fed.

Corzine took over the helm at MF Global early last year. He set out to grow the company into a global investment bank. In addition to futures and commodities trading, MF Global started making bets with the firm's own money, The Journal reported.

Corzine is also a top fundraiser for President Barack Obama. Corzine has helped raised at least $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign since April, according to records released by the campaign.

MF Global turned a profit just three times in the past 12 quarters. As the European debt crisis threatened to spread, investors and analysts focused on the company's holdings of debt from Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.

Last week, Corzine said he expected the firm to "successfully manage these exposures to what we believe will be a positive conclusion in December 2012."

MF Global filed its petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Including its subsidiaries, MF Global has assets as $41.05 billion and liabilities of $39.68 billion, according to its bankruptcy petition.

Of its five biggest unsecured creditors, four are vehicles set up by German megabank Deutsche Bank to buy bonds from MF Global. Its single biggest unsecured creditor is JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, which bought more than $1.2 billion in bonds.

The case was assigned to Judge Stuart Bernstein. Bernstein gained attention this summer for a ruling that might make it harder for victims of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme to recoup their losses.

Bernstein ruled against a trustee who was trying to recover investors' losses from an unrelated $700 million fraud. The trustee sued Wachovia, saying that the bank ignored obvious signs of fraud. Bernstein ruled against the trustee, saying the bank's suspicions were not the same as actual knowledge of the scheme.

the only ones worth half a shit are John Lynch (NH-D) Schweitzer (D-MT). Simply because they govern generally sparsely populated, mostly homogeneous states with a libertarian-populist culture. makes them have alot less to do.
