Now that we have the Mueller Report I thought it might be interesting to see how often different people are mentioned in it. Obviously these counts are limited to the non-redacted portions of the report. Here’s how many times each appears:

Trump, Jr/Trump Jr 194

Manafort 624

Lewandowski 151

Cohen 877

Giuliani 38

Flynn 742

Stone 50

Gates 191

Ivanka 30

Papadopoulos 370

Kushner 311

Pence 13

Really? Mike Pence is only mentioned 13 times in this report?!

And at that, many of those mentions are not even really about him, like in this footnote on page 106, Vol I:

See, e.g., 8/16/16 Email, joshmilton024@gmail.com to ■■■■■■■■■■■■ @donaldtrump.com (asking for Trump/Pence signs for Florida rally)

That seems odd. Was he just sitting in his office with his earbuds in, listening to Michael W Smith, while all this is obstruction was going on?

I live in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton was a bright spot of industrial America, a sort of early twentieth century Silicon Valley. In 1884, the National Cash Register Company (NCR) was founded here. They made most of the world's cash registers, right here in Dayton, until well into the 1970s. NCR announced today that they are leaving Dayton and consolidating their operations in Atlanta, Georgia. Dayton Engineering Laboratories was founded here. They developed the electric starter motor for automobiles and became the DELCO division of General Motors. The last General Motors plant in Dayton closed last December. In 1903, the Wright Brothers built the first airplane here in their bicycle shop. The site of their shop is now one of many vacant lots in a decaying neighborhood.

There are not many jobs here now. Let me show you around...

I was reading the Wikipedia page on the Great Depression and came across a large passage from the memoirs of Marriner S. Eccles, who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1934 to 1948. I was curious to see what parallels existed between the start of the Great Depression and the events that existed today. It turns out that the role of credit and income inequality in causing the Great Depression greatly mirrors recent economic conditions. I considered how the $700 billion bailout as proposed by the Bush administration might help things and concluded that, if Mr. Eccles' assessment of the causes of the depression are correct, that giving money away to banks would only delay the crisis for a while.

(This started out as a comment I made in a diary by Bob Sackamento. It got a lot of recs so I added pictures and fleshed it out into its own diary)

It seems these days that McCain can't go five minutes without stepping in it. He lies, he switches positions, and he has ties to dozens lobbyists. His running mate Sarah Palin is even worse, she seems to know nothing about foreign policy and little about anything else. She is mired in scandal and exudes incompetence. As the never ending stream of lies, scandal and deception filter into the public consciousness, John McCain's support is falling.

And falling and falling and falling.

But there is one last hope for John McCain's campaign. He needs to run a "Willie Horton" style ad. The original such ad ran against Michael Dukakis in 1988. It tied Dukakis to convicted murderer Willie Horton who was let out of prison as part of a weekend furlough program, only to kill again. McCain needs a Willie Horton.

But who?

DISCLAIMER: The following is snark. The interview never occured. All facts and figures are made up.

There's bad news in the financial markets today. Merrill Lynch has been bought out by Bank of America, Lehman Brothers is collapsing, and AIG is also imploding. Now, it occured to me that I don't really know what it is any of these companies do. Bank of America is a bank, obviously, but apparently the others do investing or something. AIG, or American International Group, appears to be involved in insurance, as well as a million other things. To get to the bottom of things, I picked one of these big corporations at random and called them up. After a few false starts, I eventually got in touch with Mr. Jack Waterhouse, Assistant Vice President of Corporate and Business Operations at Lehman Brothers. I spoke to him via satellite phone as he is currently on a ship located somewhere in the North Atlantic. A transcript of the phone call is below.
