We saw this one coming: U.S. Rescue Seen at Hand for Two Mortgage Giants [1]. The Mother of All Bailouts (MOAB) continues to grow!

Season 2 of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles [2] (TSCC) begins tomorrow (September 8, 2008). In agreement with the fans at The Sarah Connor Society [3], I consider it is the best quasi-survivalist show on television. Don’t look for many useful preparedness tips, but at least it is entertaining and motivational for those of us with the preparedness mindset. Meanwhile, the fourth feature film in the Terminator movie franchise (“Terminator: Salvation” [4])–starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington–is now in production and is scheduled for release on Memorial Day weekend, 2009. This new movie is set almost entirely in a post-nuke future, as the human race battles Skynet and its Terminators. It should be good.

Eric sent us some more “punch to the gut” economic news: U.S. House Price Decline Could Be Worse than Great Depression [5], Credit Crunch: The Sequel [6], Banks: Dominoes Ready to Fall [7], Banks borrow more from Fed; Wall Street takes pass [8], and FDIC chief is facing exceptional challenges [9]. Somehow, the premise of my novel is starting seems less fictional, with each passing day.

Blazer sent us this: Another Friday, Another Bank Collapse [10]. Nevada is one of the states suffering the most from the housing market collapse, so this comes as no surprise.
