Fed Cuts Benchmark Rate Half Point, Seeking to Forestall Recession in U.S. - "The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by a half point to 4.75 percent, the first cut in four years, to protect the U.S. from sinking into a recession sparked by fallout from the housing-market collapse. 'Today's action is intended to help forestall some of the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the disruptions in financial markets,' the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement after meeting today in Washington. The central bank will 'act as needed to foster price stability and sustainable economic growth.' Stocks surged, two-year Treasury notes rose and the dollar fell to a record low against the euro. The larger-than-forecast reduction suggests Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is prepared to leave himself open to criticism that he's rescuing investors from bad decisions for the sake of saving the six-year expansion."
U.S. Producer Prices Drop More Than Forecast; Foreclosures on Homes Double - "The 1.4 percent decrease, the biggest since October, followed a 0.6 percent increase in July, the Labor Department said today in Washington. So-called core prices, which exclude fuel and food costs, rose 0.2 percent after a 0.1 percent gain the month before. Slower inflation gave policy makers room to cut their benchmark rate today in an effort to sustain the expansion in the face of a housing recession. A drop in fuel expenses pushed prices down in August and cooling economic growth will continue to restrain raw-material costs, economists said."

U.S. Retail Sales, Output Rise Less Than Forecast, Adding to Rate-Cut Case - "The 0.3 percent increase in sales during August followed a revised 0.5 percent gain in July, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Purchases excluding automobiles unexpectedly fell 0.4 percent. Production gained 0.2 percent, with factory output declining for the first time since February. While a report from the University of Michigan and Reuters Group Plc showed consumer confidence increased, their sentiment index remained near the lowest level in a year. Treasury notes rallied after the retail sales and production reports, before losing the gains."

Greenspan Says He Didn't Foresee Credit Rout, Endorses Bernanke, CBS Says - "Current Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke 'is doing an excellent job,' Greenspan said in an interview on the 60 Minutes program, according to excerpts e-mailed by CBS today. The show is scheduled to air on Sept. 16, a day before the publication of Greenspan's book, 'The Age of Turbulence.' The remarks come amid criticism among some investors that Bernanke has failed to be as forceful as his predecessor in responding to financial turmoil. Greenspan in 1998 cut interest rates three times after a Russian debt default rippled through global markets. Bernanke's Fed has refrained from lowering its benchmark so far, relying on other tools to provide liquidity."
Commercial-Paper Market Decline in U.S. Slows as Concerns Over Credit Ease - "U.S. stocks rose and Treasuries fell after the Federal Reserve reported short-term debt dropped by $8.2 billion, compared with a decline of $31.3 billion a week earlier. That coincided with Countrywide Financial Corp. obtaining new financing and banks finding buyers for loans to fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s buyout of Alliance Boots. Issuers with the biggest chance of default had stopped trying to sell commercial paper, rekindling appetite for short- term debt, said Tony Crescenzi, chief bond market strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. in New York. 'Investors have already pushed out the weakest issuers,' Crescenzi said in an e-mail. 'The commercial paper that remains is a relatively more respected crop.'"

Where's the outrage for Clarence Ray Allen?

Where's Jesse Jackson? Where's Snoop Dog? Winnie Mandela? Jamie Fox? Where's the "Save Clarence" crowd? Where are the thousands of protestors for Clarence Ray Allen? He's supposed to be executed on Tuesday, so if they're looking to get a rally or something going, they'd better get a move on. Don't they care about the plight of the white man? We've got it tough, you know...

Or perhaps all those celebrities and NAACP leaders are racists. I'm obviously not. I wanted them to execute Tookie just as much as I want them to execute Clarence Ray. But due to the lack of concern thus far from Jesse, Snoop, Winnie, Jamie, et al I can only assume they're racists. They must want to see this white man executed.

SACRAMENTO — California's oldest condemned inmate asked a federal judge late Wednesday to block his execution next week, saying it would be cruel and unusual because of his age and health problems.

The last-ditch legal move by attorneys for Clarence Ray Allen follows a decision a day earlier by the California Supreme Court rejecting the same challenge. Allen is to be executed Tuesday.

"Mr. Allen seeks that relief because his execution would inflict cruel and unusual punishment upon him in violation of the Eighth Amendment in light of his advanced age and infirmities following more than 23 years of confinement on death row," Allen's attorney, Somnath Raj Chatterjee, wrote in court papers.

Allen, 75, is legally blind and nearly deaf. He had a heart attack in September and uses a wheelchair.

State prosecutors said they would urge the court to reject Allen's petition.

While serving time for murder at Folsom State Prison in 1980, Allen was sentenced to death for hiring a man to kill three people at a Fresno market. Allen had them killed because he feared their testimony would hurt his appeal chances.

Look at the google results for Stanley Williams vs. Clarence Ray Allen, and tell me they care.

Say hi to Tookie when you see him Clarence.
