The Bailout — City Crisis – The Pa. Legislature -Toomey
The bailout controversies have missed a key point. Who really got the money and how did they get it? Example: Battered AIG pays money owed to Goldman Sachs. Geithner, Liddy (AIG boss), Paulsen are all Goldman Sachs guys. Goldman Sachs wants to pay back the money to the government but the government says “no.” One day, the books on the bailout will expose a scheme to protect the insiders, and nothing else. Check out this months article at Rolling Stone magazine. And don’t read it after eating. You might get sick.
Michael Nutter is between a rock and city council. I have many friends on council. Some of them are useful. Others are hardly full time. Council needs to find alternatives to Nutter’s various plans to stop the city’s financial bleeding. For years, council has been a less than exciting place to be, a place where turf and protecting it, is more important than good governing. Where are the ideas from Council? The feud between Nutter and council will intensify until the 17 members find a real leader who can seek compromise. In the meantime, council would be wise to work over portions of the summer or however long it takes to find funding for appropriate recreation for the children of Philadelphia! Council’s summer vacation is joke.
On the subject of money. The Pa. Legislature should meet for 60 days a year and get its work done, a model followed by many legislatures in the nation. Governor Rendell should take a look at proposing a Constitutional Amendment to create a once-a-year-session. That’s a great way to heal the budget crisis in Pa. Save millions on the legislative sessions. PS on this one. Good move by Rendell to form a commission to watch over stimulus spending. With Pennsylvania’s history of corruption, Rendell wants to ensure that the money is spent wisely and honestly.
Why Is Pat Toomey hesitating a bit on his plans to face off against Arlen Specter? I can tell you why? The former Congressman and conservative darling is afraid that pro-lifer Peg Luksik, who will enter the race, will siphon votes away from him. That’s a real possibility. The second reason, which I believe is far fetched: Toomey’s advisers think that Specter might switch parties. That won’t happen. But if it did, Toomey would not want to face off against Arlen Specter in a general election. He would get crushed.
That’s all for now. Keep writing.

Geithner is not a Goldman Sachs guy, check your facts Larry and don’t be so sloppy and lazy about what you write. Geithner never worked anywhere on the Street- ever. He’s an academic and a NY Fed lifer,which is a big critizism against him. He could not clearly explain what securitization was today on Meet the Press. Although his plan (private/public partnership) to get bad assets moving off banks books is the best hope we have and the market seems to be ratifying that.
If you are a gentlman and a scholar you will correct your error about Geithner before I bring it to his attention.
Larry, regarding the governmnet saying “no” to Goldman paying back too soon. It not some great conspiracy, I’d love it to be since its the Democrats who are saying no. It’s because if the stongest institutions pay back too fast it will underscore that the other weaker ones cannot and possibly create more runs on the weak ones. The reason PAulson took the first nine banks into a room and made them all take TARP was to not expose the weakest links among the top nine. I know this isn’t your area of expertise, but its irresponsible during this crisis for you to be lobbing out conspiray theories about the govenment rejecting repayment of TARP and implying there is some deep yet uncovered scandal. I admit I dont get my financial information from Rolling Stone Magazine. Why don’t you roll yourself another joint or take a few extra bong hits before you try to be a commentor about finacial matters. Actually, try reading the WSJ or NY Times, they generally lay out these facts pretty well.
I am merely a reader of teleprompters. I don’t research or write the stories. Please don’t confuse my show or this blog with journalism. Perhaps you are not just the angry, ignorant bigot that Barney Frank thinks you are. Perhaps it is insightful entries like those above that I look the other way on some of your entries. Good work Columbo.
“I have many friends on council. Some of them are useful.” Says Larry Kane. This by far is the strongest stance taken by Larry on any subject. How many friends that Larry actually has on council will have to be imagined since Larry will not tell us who they are. I doubt Wilson Goode Jr is one of them, at least I hope he isn’t. Apparently Larry has defected from the Mayor Nutter camp and has decided that City Council must now lead the way out of the city’s financial crisis. Good Luck with that Phila……
Larry suffers from ADD. He can’t remain on one subject for more than 30 seconds. That’s why his columns are so fragmented.
If we could put a condom on his typewriter finger maybe we would hear coherent ramblings from this man.
Brrrrrrrrrr I can’t wait to get back to Boca. 36 degrees here. How do you people do it? I love Boca. The weather is great.
I don’t like Mondays though. Return flight from PHL to FLL. It will be 2:30 by the time I get back to the condo. Just enough time to shower, change and get to the early bird at Manny’s. I love white fish. Can’t get good flounder down here but just about every other fish known to mankind. I’ve developed a taste for Grouper. I particularly like the Carribean seasoned fish here. Spicy and tart but without the after taste. Kind of like my women. Ha Ha Ha!
Larry, thank you for mercifully changing the blog topic. Again you’ve out done yourself with another set of weak topics. Where do you come up with these lame ideas? The senior center in Boca Raton? Can we put a 36 hour life on this blog? Promise to change by Wednesday night?
Oh puppets will come Larry. Puppets will most definitely come…
Larry, now that Obama has taken over the hiring and firing department in this country maybe he can fire some of the incompetent members on City Council.(not your friends though)

Larry, people will come Larry. They’ll come to your website for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up on your blog not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your website as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around, you’ll say. It’s only $20 per copy for ‘Ticket to Ride’. They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have sock puppet names somewhere along one of the storylines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the website and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Larry. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been blogging. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But blogging has marked the time. This website, this activity: it’s a part of our past, Larry. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh… people will come Larry. People will most definitely come.
Larry,
I’m feeling backwards today. Up is down, black is white, dogs and cats are living together. I’m Mr. Insideoutsky.
Still, I find can count on you for semi-grammatical journalism to ground me in these difficult times.
Why? Will it tell me where the apostrophe went? And are you really going to cite Rolling Stone as an authority on anything? Are you going to admit to reading Rolling Stone? Frank Zappa defined rock journalism as people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t think in order to prepare articles for people who can’t read. Ouch, that hits close to home.
Maybe council will also help people figure out where to put commas. Stop the bleeding commas!
I particularly like your point that the city government of Philadelphia should have no summer vacation and should work incessantly whereas you believe that the state legislature should only work for 60 days a year. That’s plain bizarre.
And I can’t get excited about Rendell appointing a commission to oversee spending of stimulus money. You know what a commission is? It’s a lifeform with six or more legs and no brain. It’ll be larded with Rendell cronies who will carefully steer funds where he wants them to go. That’s hardly something to celebrate.
I don’t know, Larry, you can tell me why? I don’t understand your question.
Everyone knows that Specter, having turned his back on the EFCA that he once sponsored, is really going to try to make a run for the GOP nomination and will run as an independent moderate a la Joltin’ Joe once he loses the GOP nomination to a right-wing whack job whom only Sarah Palin could love. Josh Shapiro would make a weak showing for the Dems, especially if Specter could argue that Shapiro wants to ban secret ballot representation elections for employees at companies targeted for union organization.
Where have all the puppets gone, long time passing?

Good morning Philadelphia! Back in Boca. Another day in paradise. Rise and shine! Looking forward to getting back to the Mae Volen Senior Center today. Field trip! We’re going as a group to Miami Monkey Jungle. It’s the real deal. You walk amongst the monkeys in a screened in trail. It is crazy fun. I love monkeys. Then we stop at TCBY for some frozen yogart on the way back. There is a Rita’s Water Ice nearby that I’m lobbying to stop there instead of TCBY. It will be quite a coup d’etat if I can pull it off. So far I’ve got 19 votes out of 45 on the bus so far. I need another 8 votes to get a majority. This is tough work. Especially trying to turn the old birds from Brooklyn. I have a new found respect for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. This is tough work. But a would there be a better way to cap the day than a Mango Misto Shake?
Before I get too busy today I want to do my patriotic duty and vote. Sally Starr (could I tell you some stories), the Chief, Happy, Gene (or was that Jean), Lee (what a creative guy), Pete (did you know he was tracing?), Rex Morgan, and Pixanne. Though I grew up in NY I feel like I’ve grown to know all of them by ancedotal expression and as a cub reporter. They were all great. It is tough to choose.
“Let Larry no be judged by the accuracy of his grammer, but by the content of his ramblings”.
MLK 3/31/09
I think I should have stayed on the beach.
OOOJ-I’m going right to the winner,Stu Nahan,the original voice of the Flyers.Or so I’m told,actually I was kinda busy back then.
With a name like Wee Willie I found it hard to compete with the likes of Larry Kane for the top local news positions. You know “here’s Wee Willie with tonight’s top story”. Or “Wee Willie, What’s your opinion on the City Council vote?” Larry was smart. He didn’t use the long laborious Lawrence Kane he went for the friendly approachable Larry. Oh well just sour grapes on my part I suppose. Here’s Wee Willie signing off……..
And no my willie is not wee…
Let’s leave that up to me to decide.
RED RUM!
Lar I love your blog and the followers. Its so edgy I could scream. But tell us do the Phils pick up Sheffield? What do your inside sources tell you about how much gas he still has in the tanks?
Larry doesn’t comment after 8 pm so I will tell you right now that Larry has no idea who Gary Sheffield even is. I’m sure though that Larry thinks that Sheffield is a winner. We are all winners, in our own way. That’s what makes us winners.(I hope I put the commas in the right place)
Does Lary watch Bill Oreily or keith olberman?????/
Does Rachel Madow turn Larry on????/
Inquireing minds want to know
We finished in last place last season.
We just traded for career AAA player OFer Josh Anderson.
We moved Carlos Guillen to LF.
What does all that tell you?
Sheffield is done. Stick a fork in him.
Besides he could not DH in the NL.
Do the Phils need another $8M pinch hitter?
Get a grip Loogy.
I’ve known Larry and Ethel a long time. They have a collection of I Love Lucy VCR tapes they watch over and over again. Cheetos, winecoolers and Lucy are all the aphrodisiacs those two need.
You have been repeatly asked nicely to refrain from sending messages after 8PM. What part of that don’t you understand? Larry is trying to sleep and he is easily disturbed by computer noises.
Rise and shine! Another day in paradise here in Boca. Sunny sky and warm temps kind of belying the type of day this will be. We are under attack! I’ve been told that there is a killer virus set to attack all computers today. They call it Comficker-C. My people have advised me to shutdown the website for protection. They don’t want one of you jamokes infecting the website. Frankly since most of you are now sock puppets we don’t care what happens to you. Anyway the site will be shutdown for 24 hours. We will be spraying Lysol on all of our equipment and wearing doctor’s masks as a precaution. We can get through this crisis together. Stay trashy and nasty Philadelphia!
Karate chop!
Well Larry, it sounds like you and “your people” have thought of everything. Please change the blog topic before going into lockdown mode. When will you be re-emerging from lockdown mode?
I hesitate to make recommendations to a computer guru like you but a couple of ideas:
1) If you turnoff your computer at night you won’t be disturbed by computer noises. Better yet move your computer out of your bedroom. You may shutdown at 8PM but the rest of the world doesn’t.
2) Can you adjust the website clock for daylight savings time? How hard could that be? Most website hosters automatically do it. You need to speak to “your people” at badcat.com… While your at it, fix the blinking time on your VCR.
3) You have been using your new book as an excuse for your lack of participation on and attention to this website. How long does it take you to finish this novela? Are you writing it with charcoals from the fireplace on the back of a shovel? Do you have severe writer’s block? Trying to figure out how to write both Josh Shapiro and John Lennon into the storyline? What gives?
YFAP, welcome back to Larry’s humble site. Too many days on the beach? Was Ms YFAP monitoring your post during your absence? Where have Leo and George gone? Have they followed Jack Russell to a renegade website or are they appearing strictly in nom de plume? Looks like it’s just you and me and the sock puppets… Oh brother…
Larry, I’m still feeling all twist-turned-inside-out. I read this today.
http://www.pennlive.com/editorials/index.ssf/2009/04/no_more_mopin_around_gov_rende.html
Rendell is going to spend $15 million of the stimulus money on clowns and mimes? Hello? You champion this man as through he were some kind of wise philosopher king. And yet he insists on stupidity such as this. I can’t wait to find out what Josh Shapiro is proposing to do with stimulus funds; I’m sure it will have nothing to do with rewarding clients of the Center City law firm that employs him. What a waste. Why not spend the money on needed projects that will last? $15 million could do a lot of construction, which would do much more to stimulate the economy than some mime hanging out at King of Prussia Mall.
Larry, what would you do with $15 million in stimulus money? I’d try for FREE AIR, and I’d slap some new paint on the SEPTA trains.
Larry, maybe Nutter can get that $15 million from Rendell and keep some pools open this summer. What do you think? After all, Rendell’s committee will ensure that the money is spend “wisely and honestly.” On mimes.
On thing is for sure, the mimes will never say anything…
I see I have misspelled “spent.” Larry, your blog continues to intoxicate me. The idea that you’re jazzed about Rendell’s management of stimulus money, only to have it revealed that he’s proposing to spend millions of it on clowns, is wigging me out, man. I’m losing it.
Moolb-Careful,commas can be tricky.At least that’s what Ms.YAP tells me and she’s the writer.
OOOJ-Ms.YAP was with me & one of the Clippers.
Jim Leyland-No one cares,this is Philly not Detroit.Quit if you don’t like it,like you did in Colorado.
A Pirate calling me out? What’s up with that? I’m the original Pirate at least I was originally a Pirate.
I’ve been to more playoffs than Charlie Freakin Manual. From one old dude to another old dude about another old dude, forget Sheffield. The juice is gone and the tanks are empty. If I were Philly I’d say no tanks
Rise and shine! Another day in paradise here in Boca. Huge plans today. Breakfast at Dennys. They are offering all Seniors a free Grand Slam Breakfast between 6-9AM in Dade County. I love free breakfasts. I have a dilemma though. If I get sunnyside up eggs my yolk leaks all over my pancakes. If I get scrambled they are dry sometimes. Got to get there early to avoid long lines. You know how Seniors are.
Then over to the Mae Volen Senior Center for arts and crafts. Last week we made beed chain bracelets. Rumor has it we’re doing real pottery this week. Spinning wheel and kiln baking. I haven’t played with clay in my hands since Silly Putty. We’re making bowls. This is cool. After the MVSC we head out to Manny’s for white fish. I love fresh white fish. There you have it. A perfect day by any standard.
For those wondering I could not turn a couple of old cows from Cheltenham Township and we ended up at TCBY. They wanted the Frappe Chiller.
Be trashy and nasty Philadelphia!
Well Larry, it looks like you soon will be the sole individual contributor on your own website. Even the puppets have grown weary and bored. As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. The puppets – they scatter – they relocated to friendlier sites. The regulars – they’re long gone – to places they are appreciated and challenged. What remains is your lowest common denominator and most loyal supporters. Even they will soon disappear into the night – quietly – after 8PM of course.

Good jorb, YBP. You win teh Internets!
Larry:
All your base are belong to us.
This is Ground Control to Major Leo
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare
Are there any other women who comment here besides Leo…..??
No man could be as anal as Leo,,,, except maybe Larry,.. but the way Larry tends to his blog I doubt it. Or maybe that’s why Larry spends so much time at his analyst’s office.
Patti just because you’re a fav doesn’t mean you can dis me girl. This be my blog and I be da king here. I’d offer you the position of queen but that be already taken girl. Peace. Out.
You white boys …. don’t you have anything better to do than to hang out in Larry’s blog? Do I have to pull a Little Richard on you? yeeeee haaaaa !!!!
ouuuuuu!!!! yes oh lordybe!!!!!! Ohhh my
female parts are shivering!!!!!! it’s like a volcano in heat!!!!!!!!!my insides are a quivering !!!!!!
Patti aren’y you suppossed to spell your name P a t t i e justs like the word potatoe,,?”’
If you got turned on by my riff give me a call. (610)555-booty. leave off the y for yeehowwwwww.
Patty, I saw your food products on clearance at Genuardi’s. You and Larry should start a line of hair care products for Philadelphians.
Larry, have you figured out where Rendell’s $15 million clowns will be allocated? I’m hoping that a few of them are put on Broad north of Temple’s campus and that a few are put at 52nd and Market. That’ll be a good use of stimulus funds, don’t you think? More at 11 . . . .
Larry, I heard on a right wing show that Obama is outlawing NASCAR and is working with the Queen to become King of America. What do your sources say about the veracity of these stories coming from the rabid right?
Leo, try to remember that April 1st is April Fools Day. You’ll live longer…..
Leo you and I are in the liberal sachel. We love Barry Obama and the lovely Michelle.
We love the real Governator Ed Rendell.
We love the up and comer Josh Shapiro.
We look forward to the day of Universal Healthcare.
We look forward to the day we can get married legally.
Yo Patti you got it going on girl.
Rise and shine! Another beautiful day here in Boca. And another big day planned for me as well. Over to Mae Volen Senior Center for shuffleboard tournament at 10AM. I have a new secret formula to put on my pucks. Bacon fat. Slides like you know what through a goose. After Morty Crim and I crush the competition we’ll join the ladies for Bingo at 2PM. I love Bingo. Buying 12 cards between us today. Once Ethel starts kabitzing I’ll be on my own watching our cards. There is no better feeling in the world than yelling BINGO. I love Bingo. Then we have to hustle over to Manny’s in time for the early bird. A full and satisfying day! Stay trashy and nasty Philadelphia!
I have a new name for this website:
Larry Kaighn’s House of Pain
What do you think? Cleaver marketing?
Larry now that Arlen has launched his 2010 campaign, it’s clear he is going to attack Toomey for being part of the financial establishment that brought our country into a recession. I think Toomey worked in the banking industry in the late ’80s. Instead of attacking the real culprits Arlen is using the scapegoat tactic. Blame the other guy, even though he was a senator since 1980 and should have known what was coming. Specter is a louse and a liability to the people of PA.
larry, PA is not going to elect another Democratic senator. Casey was selected for name recognition and the Republican backlash that occurred in the last election. PA needs strong leadership after all that has happened in Harrisburg during Rendell’s reign. The leadership vacuum in this state is deplorable. Look around Larry. Look at the politicians in this state. Half have been around too long and the other half don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground, or have their heads buried in a hole in the ground as they collect their enormous wages for such little work.
I’m not saying that Philadelphia should be another Hollywood but the faces on the City Council could scare Freddie Kruger. The last time I saw so many weird looking people in one place was when I watched “Night of the Living Dead” in color. The makeup the hairdos, the toupees….. It’s all so surreal. Am I living a nightmare or is this just another episode of The Twilight Zone?
One of my greatest fears is having Ed Rendell sitting on a pile of stimulus money. Just the thought of this “used car salesman” having the ability to dole out cash to his nearest and dearest pet projects is of great concern to me. Oh yeah … his self appointed hand picked overseer gives me great comfort. Yeah comfort my foot…….
Rendell will probably use the 1st billion or so erecting more casinos and putting poker machines in every saloon down the highway.
the 2nd billion will be for more soccer fields across the state.
The 3rd billion will be spent on updating cheese steak shops.
Didn’t realize how nimble Obama is until I saw him bowing to the Saudi king.First we have Chelle Chelle touching the queen & now this.Time for a new protocol director.
I can’t believe I throw the term billion around as if it were merely millions…..
YAP, I’m available. Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies. Would I wear a badge and carry a whistle as the protocol director?
A Fan-You’ll have to carry a dog whistle, if you get my drift.
TWWEEEET TWWEEEEET!
I’m going to use FREE AIR to blow my DOG WHISTLE. My DOG WHISTLE says “BLOW ME.”
After I blow my DOG WHISTLE, I’m going to give Angela Merkel a DEEP MUSCLE MASSAGE.
You need instructions for a whistle ?
W already did that,why not go after Sarkozy ?
Obama is saving his massage for Nancy Pelosi
Arf!
Hey ya’ll. Can you tell a guy where to find out where the klan meets round these part?
AAaawwwwwww. We gots it goin on!
Rebel-Big Klan meet tonight @ 29th & Diamond.Good timing on your part.
Larry,i know your a big obama fan,but mrs obama looks like a fish out of water when she is in the company of the world leaders and their spouses,she comes across very uncomfortable with the last thing on her mind is world peace and the american flag….and it has nothing to do with her huge donkey zone..
Jack is Back! That’s definately the real Jack Russell. How’ve you been Jack? Not missing much here, although Larry has taken to writing things that are simply untrue about the Treasury secretary. He also thinks there is some type of cabal, or a conspiracy of “European Bankers” protecting insiders on wall street, and by European Bankers I dont mean Christian bankers in Europe or the U.S….get my drift…he no longer allows the J-word to be used on his blog, I didnt realize it was a profanity, but it’s now censored, and I guess he beleives it’s in the same category as hymie. That’s the problem with censorship, people just come up with other code words, however, I have never heard of censoring the noun used to describe someones religion. “Catholic” to my knowlege can still be used- God forbid if he censors that, it will become the C-word and we’ll have that fine religion confused with a female body part!
Jack Russell I wanted to say welcome back and stay a while. Now its time for me to go to bed. Did you hear that dog whistle? Sweet dreams.
Rise and shine! Another beautiful day here in Boca. If I could only stay. Today we go to Hector’s Crab Shack for brunch. They have great lox and bagels. Hector is originally from Queens. I love bagels. Then off to the airport for my flight from FLL to PHL. I hate the long flight. I don’t wear my normal knee high black socks on the plane. My doctor advised against it. He’s worried about bloodclots. I’m already on so much daily mediacation that I don’t want to add Plavix. Jen Boyett the news director at CN8 invited me to join her after taping tonight’s broadcast at Cuba Libre for drinks and dinner. I think she may be talking big contract. She may want me back as a regular daytime feature teleprompter reader. I’m going to play coy. I’d rather be semi-retired in Boca. Stay trashy and nasty Philadelphia!
HELD HOSTAGE – DAY 7
Larry, please change the blog topic. No one except A Fan has even commented on it in the last 5 days.
Let my people go!
As Odie Cologne and I tour Europe together it is like these Continentals have never seen a black person before. Once we fix the world financial problems created by Biggie Rat and Mr Mad, I will again return to the Bongo Congo. Until then confound it that’s the most unheard of thing I ever heard of!
what’s up georgie,,yes we have to watch out for the censorship police,i quess only comedien’s and rappers have the green light..
Heavens to Murgatroyd its Jack Russell in the flesh. Come on for some Obama bashing? Exit stage left.
Sufferring Succotash where is everyone? Did someone say there is a Jack Russell Terrier in the neighborhood?
Yes OOOJ, it is me and only me who responds to Larry’s masterpieces of social and political commentary. If it were not for Larry’s attention to political nuances and inside information we, the public would not have a clue as to who is running for office, and who is obligated to the likes of Goldman Sachs. Thank God for the Larry Kanes of this world, for without them we would all be in the camp of Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olberman…… Larry’s ability to remain above the fray with his objective view allows us to make up our own minds. Kudos to you Larry!
PS: I have been drinking tonight……
I want to read your opinions about how Obama is trying to kill NASCAR and socialize stock car racing with new regulations.
Sufferring Succotash you care about NASCAR Hoogy? Where are you from? South Carolina? Do you live in a trailer park?
Was I good last night or what? Oh you won’t see it until it airs tonight. I slayed it. Sometimes I amaze even myself. I’ll be on a plane back to Boca later this morning. Thank goodness.
I would like to welcome back Jack Russell to the website. We missed you pal. I’m considering a bike for an alternative exercise program that my doctor suggested. I plan to ride for an hour a day at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Jack can you suggest a bike? Haven’t been on a bike in years. Do I really need to wear those flashy shirts and spandex pants? Of course I’ll wear a helmet. Until tomorrow stay trashy and nasty Philadelphia!
Wow! The return of Jack (welcome back Jack), cartoon charaters from the 60s, and A Fan getting all serious on us. What other new surprises does the day hold? Phillies start defense of championship. Larry heading back to Boca? Can’t wait for show to air tonight. Oh wait, I’ll be watching the Phils.
Sufferring Succotash this blog in inhabited by losers.
