More Than 90 Banks Missed May's TARP Payments

IF one only listened to the MSM (mainstream media) - which - at BEST is only a mouthpiece for the government - you'd think the US economy is well under way to a full recovery. Well, think again. The highlights of this piece that somehow took a MONTH to even make it as a CNBC link:

It was the first missed payment for 23 of the banks; for the others, it was at least their second miss...

The number of banks missing their TARP payments rose for the third straight quarter. In February, 74 banks deferred their payments; 55 deferred last November.....
SNL Financial's analysis found 20 banks have missed four or more payments since the program began in 2008, while eight banks have missed five payments.....
While many of the largest U.S. banks easily repaid billions in TARP aid, more than 600 smaller banks still hold $130 billion from the program, created at the height of the financial crisis.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about the future manipulations by the government and the banks - doesn't it? http://www.cnbc.com/id/37732312 Barfable.

Impossible? Could `Life' Be INSIDE The Sun?

As my regular Barf Stew readers know, I search for provocative ideas - by real thinkers - to bring to this webpage; and, today - I do just that. Indeed, have you ever encountered even the idea that the SUN may have life INSIDE of it? - Thought so.

So here I present a series of thoughtful ideas by a real thinker Chris Crawford - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rbzMR8XyBqIJ:www.erasmatazz.com/library/Miscellania/Life%20and%20Negentroy.html+life+in+the+sun&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=ca -- This, of course, is his five minute read about his idea that the SUN could harbor a life form. It's 100% Stewable.
But, I'm featuring Chris today and here's some more thoughtful ideas he explores:

Information Physics - http://www.erasmatazz.com/page78/page128/page370/InformationPhysics.html
Dreaming - http://www.erasmatazz.com/page78/page175/page176/Dreams.html
Consciousness - http://www.erasmatazz.com/page78/page175/page179/Consciousness.html
The Operational Approach to Reality - http://www.erasmatazz.com/page78/page175/page181/OperationalApproach.html
Sarah Palin - http://www.erasmatazz.com/page78/page93/page116/SarahPalin.html

And, again, regular readers know that I also recently featured Bruceleeeowe - and here - is a post he did last year -- BUT - is really the FULL OVERVIEW of the `conspiracy theory' about Real Life on Mars -- I know it took quite sometime to pull together the sources for this amazing read - Totally Stewable - http://weirdsciences.net/2009/10/07/rodents-on-mars/

Now, seldom do I run a Barf Stew video that happened the day before -- but - if you haven't heard that General Petraeus `passed out' while in front of the Senate yesterday - while Sen. McCain was questioning him - check this out. Weird. Real Weird. Then, note how his `entourage' went into work -





Thanks for visiting Barf Stew today - please tell a friend about BS today. Oh, I have a ton of stuff on Barf Stew that you will like if you liked what I gave you today - start here - http://barfstew.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

The Impossible Human - Yogi Prahlad Jani’s Fasting Miracles

By any chance do you remember that a few months ago the Indian government decided to study the probable Barf claims of a Yogi that he had not eaten or drank anything in DECADES? Well, the results of that 24 hour a day surveillance by 3 cameras has reached an endpoint; - and guess what, - we may need to expand the definition of what a human is and can do - as these Stewworthy results indicate - http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/35126/ - and, words such as these are in the report: Doctors have not found any adverse effects in his body from hunger or dehydration. They think that yoga exercises may have caused Jani’s body to undergo a biological transformation. The researchers said tests found that his brain is equivalent to that of a 25-year-old.


How about these words from the next Barf Stew link - Our main leisure activity is, by a long shot, participating in experiences that we know are not real. When we are free to do whatever we want, we retreat to the imagination—to worlds created by others, as with books, movies, video games, and television (over four hours a day for the average American), or to worlds we ourselves create, as when daydreaming and fantasizing. … - The post is called `Dream Time' -- and is deserving of your one minute Stew - http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/06/dreamtime.html
