The Back Room

If I see he neighbors houses disturbingly dark, you bet ya... but if no one cares one way or the other then it's a wasted protest. Would be interesting to see though who is participating.

I've met a number of those folks in my life. I've enjoyed those times when I was around to see them (and those around them) realise just how far off the mark they can be. However, it has come to light that a number of folks did know exactly what they were doing - ripping off other people - and there were a number of economists (especially in the Austrian school) that predicted what happened last fall as long as five years ago.

I knew it! It's those frakkin' Scandinavians!!! Such heartfelt appeals for donations to some asswipe 100 billion dollar "trade fund" which Brazil won't controbute much to but which it will gladly help spend certainly make me hope the U.S. does the right thing.

Oakman wrote: Mike is a patriot and a thinker. He's wrong some of the time well thank you. I agree with all the points you've made. Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

Oakman wrote: Your faith in Pelosi and Reid is touching. Are you kidding? Pelosi and Reid are two of the most trustworthy people in politics. My faith in them will be amply rewarded, I'm sure. Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Good to know there are still some honorable people in the world! Thanks for the link.

It was much easier before they changed thier contact page, you have to work a bit to find representatives that don't represent your district. You also use to be able to post 'email' to congressional representatives outside your district, they "fixed that". Change was made IMHO to reduce 'email' on key votes to representatives who are borderline on specific issues.

Don't forget that Moddy's kept rating CDS's as A number 1 practically until Lehman bros went belly up. Thye might be overly cautious these days. On the other hand, saying that any bank in any country is sick and may not get better is pretty much a sure thing. "Put your faith not in the Princes of Men, my son, but in gold - bullion and coins." I'm sure that's either in the Bible or Shakespeare . . . Jon Smith & Wesson: The original point and click interface

If you're referring to your imaginary friend Jesus, then tell him that if he wants my love he'll first need to deposit 100 million tax-free USD in my checking account. Then I'll be happy to kiss his invisible ass like you do. ShamWow
