I don't see that. Quite frankly if you are the CEO for a company that needs taxpayers money to be bailed out, you shouldn't even be making $500,000. Look at the performance of GM and the compensation of the CEO. The difference between average worker compensations and CEO compensation has been growing exponentially in the last years. Clearly that increase hasn't been reflected in the value that they have created in the same time frame. Way to skip the point of my posting. None of these companies are failing because of excessive pay. That they are failing at all says the execs are not worth $500k. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

No one is so certain that they'll live on 5-20% of their normal compensation. Maybe for a couple of months they should fill the boots of one of the employees they've laid off. Then $500k/yr will seem real easy. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and the band of libs that vote with them. They forced banks - via legislation and strong arming by their buddies at ACORN (which is supposed to be a get out the vote organization) - to make loans that people were not qualified for and wree destined to fail. The reason? Social justice, in their minds. Idiots. Except for CRA, which was NOT in fact part of the problem, no-one in government forced any bank to loan to anyone. Nice attempt at buck passing, but it was McCain who called himself "The Deregulator". Edited fur spelin If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

This is a trick question - right? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Sometimes bureacracies get out of control. If they have coercive power, it can be very nasty. Read THIS from today's news. The aviation bloggers are saying TSA is desparate to find something to justify its LASP program. Won't be long before TSA strip searches you before allowing you on a jump plane.

I'd rather give a taxpayer handout to a homeless person than to any bank exec right now. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Then you drag your feet and don't renew the licenses in time. And finally, the coup de grâce: you then seize their guns for failure to have a valid license! I suspect being $2.5BILLION in the hole has more to do with the delay than any nefarious motives. Perhaps you'll send a small donation to the state police so they can afford to hire more staff.

The USA is hardly in a positiion to criticize on that account. We've used nukes, cruise missiles, surrogates to fight OUR wars (Bay of Pigs, Iran-Contra), cluster bombs, land mines, chemical warfare in 'Nam, overthrown legitimately elected governments (Iran 1953, Chile 1973), sponsored terrorists (Mujahadeen, Contras) and invaded other nations unprovoked (to state but a few items). What's your point. That you hate what the U.S. has done, so it's okay to allow everyone else to do it too? That makes no sense. If you don't like the U.S. meddling in other's affairs with aggression, then you should also oppose the same tactics when done by Iran. Which is it? Do you approve of Iran's aggression, or not? I disapprove of Iran's aggression, just as much as I disapprove of OUR aggression to pursue our goals. Criticizing Iran for doing what we have done far more of is hypocritical in the extreme. Something comes to mind about casting the log out of our own eye before worrying about the speck in someone else's eye. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Given that it's a British magazine looking in from the outside, how do you make it out to be "one side"? The comments about Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter are right on. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Luckily the USA is not a bunch of religious fanatics.. although the last administration was getting pretty close. Reading some of the posts on here one could be forgiven for concluding that the USA is full of religious fanatics. Anyhow, the USA HAS been prepared to push its agenda by a multitude of unpleasant means. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

So why did they take $25 BILLION from the taxpayers? Greed? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law on July 2, 1964. Johnson told an aide, "We have lost the South for a generation," anticipating a coming backlash from Southern whites against the Democratic Party. Johnson's analysis is more accurate than yours. In fact the southern bigots went GOP for 2 generations. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Maybe you just dreamed it. Neither you or anyone else seems to have come up with anything concrete concerning "these two" supposed scientists. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Well use the word unfornately all you want. As I remember the article the two who were writing it were two of the main group who said CFC's were the main culprit. Unfortunately for you, they now say they were mistaken. They are saying they were wrong back then. Maybe you are now? I will look again You're cherry picking unspecified data from two scientists that you can't actually name out of a consensus of scientists and you expect to be taken seriously?

I warned you not to confuse them with facts. But does anyone listen to me? Hell no. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

I feel (if true) it really puts thing into perspective. So when we add 6% to the carbon in the atmosphere, and the total increases by 6%annually, we HAVE upset the balance. How many years at 6% does it take to double the atmospheric CO2? If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

So tell me. What's the point in having a rule, if you're going to allow the rule to be waived any time you feel like it? Wow, you get snippy when proven wrong, don't you? The waiver process shines a light on the individual for all to see (just like is happening now). If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Don't confuse the right wingers with facts, Nerdgirl. It does no good and just makes them grouchy. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

Nine Inch Will Please a Lady A song by Robert Burns Tune:The Quaker's Wife Come rede me dame, come tell me, dame, My dame come tell me truly, What length o' graith, when weel ca'd hame, Will sair a woman duly? The carlin clew her wanton tail, Her wanton tail sae ready - I learn'd a sang in Annandale, Nine inch will please a lady. But for a koontrie cunt like mine, In sooth, we're nae sae gentle; We'll take tway thumb-bread to the nine, And tha's a sonsy pintle; O leeze me on my Charlie lad, I'll ne'er forget my Charlie! Tway roarin handfu's and a daud, He nidge't it in fu' rarely. But weary fa' the laithron doup And may it ne'er ken thrivin! It's no the length that maks me loup, But it's the double drivin.- Come nidge me, Tam, come nidge me Tam, Come nidge me o'er the nyvel! Come lowse and lug your battering ram, And thrash him at my gyvel! If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

The Fornicator by Robert Burns Ye jovial boys, who love the joys, The blissful joys of lovers, And dare avow wi' dauntless brow, Whate'er the lass discovers; I pray draw near, and you shall hear, And welcome in a frater, I've lately been in quarantine, A proven fornicator. Before the congregation wide I pass'd the muster fairly, My handsome Betsy by my side, We gat our ditty rarely. My downcast eye, by chance did spy What made my mouth to water, Those limbs so clean, where I between, Commenced a fornicator. Wi' ruefu' face, and signs o' grace, I paid the buttock hire; The night was dark, and thro' the park, I couldna but convoy her. A parting kiss, what could I less ; My vows began to scatter, Sweet Betsy fell, fal, lal, de ral, And I'm a fornicator. But by the sun and moon I swear, And I'll fulfill ilk hair o't, That while I own a single crown, She's welcome to a share o't. My roguish boy, his mother's joy, And darling of his pater, I for his sake, the name will take, A hardened fornicator. If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
