POPSMore liquidations coming? In the past few years, not only were banks and hedge funds willing to find a way to give loans to desperately struggling companies, but most companies were able to get debtor-in-possession financing to weather bankruptcy. Retailers like Linens N Things might have had the option to enter bankruptcy protection, exit troublesome leases, and shape up its business. Is Linens N Things impending liquidation a sign that retailers and companies in other industries will be forced to liquidate irather than rework a business in bankruptcy?

POPSOuch!... Palin Slams Obama On His Ridiculous Surge Stands Experienced Governor Palin blasted him on his surge stands today: Watch MSNBC video at site: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/ouch-palin-slams-obama-on-his.html In more bad news for the democratic media conglomerate-- 10,000 subscribers called Us magazine to cancel their subscriptions after their hit piece on Sarah Palin. Hat Tip Andy B. And, Patrick corrected my earlier numbers... Over 40 million watched Sarah Palin on Wednesday not 37 million. The Nielsen ratings showed that Palin attracted a huge female audience of 19.5 million women, nearly 5 million larger than the third day of the Democratic convention when Hillary Clinton spoke. Sarah better look out. The media is hot on her tail and not because they like her. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-is-two-palin-now-more-popular-than.html
