It may be nothing, but worth noting in case it is something:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has postponed a public meeting for Wednesday that was intended to answer questions about the recent closure of the Bank of Clark County.
The meeting was to have been held at Skyview High School, near Vancouver.
FDIC officials plan to hold the meeting at a later date, said Anne Butler, a former bank employee who is working for the FDIC since the bank closure.
Readers may recall that some depositors were tipped off about the impending problems at the bank, and well, others were not. Best anyone can tell that’s all legal, if not fair. Little old un-connected people didn’t seem to come out so well.
This town (Vancouver, WA) stinks to high heaven and I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out all sorts of interesting stuff someday. But that’s just a hunch. Most likely it will all go away in the end with a combination of fake “I’m sorries” and a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. The little old ladies who lost their uninsured deposits, you know, they’ll die sometime.
It might possibly be that the FDIC officials in question were unexpectedly diverted to the the frying of bigger fish.
Prevention is the best cure. Don’t put your money in small local banks run by Good Ol’ Boys. Don’t buy bonds, no matter who issues them. Matches and bullets will always be good as currency if there’s a crisis. Don’t believe anything a Republican says. If you follow these rules everything will work out all right in the end.
‘O hell ya!

Don’t put your money in a bank at all; use credit unions.
Don’t put your money in a bank or credit union. I bury mine in coffee cans in the back yard. Yeah, a “well-protected” back yard. Roger’s got in right — lots of ammo. But don’t forget the foodstuffs, water and whatnot in the bomb shelter. Even have a big library of Penthouse mags.
I’m ready.
Hey Jonny boy…
Where is your pithy response to your accusations in http://horsesass.org/?p=12757?
Pelletizer worded it wrong as always…
Don’t believe anything a Democratic like Barney Franks says. Look to your hero Harry Reid.
@7 I’m right and you know damn well I’m right. You just won’t admit it. Either that, or you’re a delusional fool.
@7
I supported Reid when he became senate minority leader ’cause I thought whoever got the job would get the shit kicked out of them. Reid proved me wrong by becoming the senate majority leader. :-)
