Your Tuesday Lunchtime Links

Good afternoon, folks. Well, better than yesterday afternoon anyways. Don’t worry baby boomers, we’ll spend the next few decades cleaning up after your drunken spending spree. No no, don’t get up. It’s fine. Assholes. Anyways, that 634 point drop in the Dow isn’t all that’s happening. Lunchtime links are queued up; roll tape:


-Looks like Obama just picked up a new political guru from Gotham. Why so serious? (politico)

-Way to go and ruin it for everyone, Mark Foley. (theDC)

-Ben Bernanke stays committed to his time-honored philosophy of throwing money at problems. (bloomberg)

-Ezra Klein rips off The Dude, downgrades S&P. (wapo)

-Looks like the market crash has hit some harder than others. Or this guy is seriously into a game of WoW. (wusa9)

-And now, a strong contender for the greatest idea of all time. (wapo)

-“A thrill-seeking Florida stripper and her AK-47-toting siblings on a multistate crime spree yesterday ignored their heartsick mother's plea to give themselves up, authorities said.” This does not happen enough. (nypost)

-Everyone thinks Obama is chilling out way too hard on this whole “economic crisis” thing. Harsh. (wapo)

-Caroline Kennedy stops ABC by revealing Jackie O thought LBJ killed JFK. WTF. (theDC)

The Hammer: Satisfied now that he has Han Solo frozen in carbonite, Michael Moore moves on to S&P.
