    Heh. It was Clinton's signing of the repeal of the... ????? Act (name escapes me at the moment) allowing investment banks to purchase mortgage bonds that helped lead to this. Add to that the Democrats' push for banks to provide more sub prime loans, and behold a new industry was born that just imploded. I'd say they're both responsible... the Republicans wanted the act repealed, but the Democrats merely exacerbated the problem. (I almost wrote masterbated. I'm not sure that would have been wrong........ :~ :doh: )

    Yes, it would. The proper term is masturbated. :)

        True. There are a lot of heads that deserve to roll from both sides of the aisle.


        Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.
