Why? He paid into the ponzi scheme too. He deserves his money as much as anyone else. I guarantee you he'd rather have been able to invest the money himself. Then he'd have a nice boat, a jet, AND a cc membership. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

ditto. This guy Obama needs to think before he so eloquently speaks. He slams the corporate jet industry, he slams Las Vegas. Doesn't he remember that he carried Nevada? Moron. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

This was too bizarre not to share on Valentine's Day. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,493011,00.html Ohio Transgender Woman Pleads Guilty to Homicide for Exercising Husband, 73, to Death Saturday, February 14, 2009 CHARDON, Ohio — An Ohio transgender woman has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide for exercising her 73-year-old husband to death in an apartment complex swimming pool. Middlefield police say surveillance video shows 41-year-old Christine Newton-John pulling James Mason around the pool by his arms and legs and preventing him from leaving. Mason had a heart attack on June 2 just after the extended swim session. Police Chief Joseph Stehlik says a deputy investigated the death because of previous complaints that Mason was abused. Newton-John pleaded guilty on Thursday. She faces up to five years in prison. Mason was a longtime friend of his wife's family. He knew her as John Vallandingham before she had gender reassignment surgery in 1993 and changed her name. They married in Kentucky in 2006. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Mike, this is the standard Amazon reply to an effective point. Gobbledygook. Doesn't try to refute your point, just babbles. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

I'm not, and I don't. We have two separate points going here. One is negligent homicide, and KBordson's post is reflective of my opinion there. The other is what to do in the future. I prefer less knee jerk government lawmaking, and more reliance on market forces which will put these bastards out of business. So. What is your opinion of these words>"actus reus" pertaining to this case? Again, separate from the point I was making about kneejerk government "we have to do something about every thing" reaction. However, I'm sure criminal liability can be proven in this case and if so, I hope the penalty is severe. But since congressional grandstanding is all that was happening in Washington, this guy is well advised to plead the 5th. Where the heck is LawRocket when you need him? I'm sure thats what he'd advise. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Plenty of FDA regs already in place, but once again, the government shows a dismal ineffectiveness. And these people are calling for more government involvement in free enterprise! Why not let the free market handle this? How many food makers are going to buy their pb now? They go out of business, and the strong/honorable survive.

Since you are in the top 5% you probably realize that each share of stock gets a vote for the board of directors, so if the management isn't making enough money for you, you can them. Most of us realize that corporate jets facilitate efficient travel for high talent individuals, and we don't envy the high roller image. Additionally, the corporate jet industry employs countless peeps and contributes to a robust economy. Interesting the other day that Oshit was terribly upset at the purchase of a Falcon and the next day said "spending is the point!" of stimulating the economy. I guess only government spending.

Very good spy decoder at the end! Apropos. Great movie. Loved the badass character. Talk about knowing your surroundings and paying attention to detail! But, I am curious - do you think this type of brothel exists to a great extent? I know there are thousands of women coerced and brainwashed into sexual slavery, which is evil enough, but just kept on drugs, chained to a bed and used like meat? Ugh. If so I would think some news media would have gotten a hold of it and put out a story, hidden camera or something. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

eh? What a load of bollocks Have you ever read The Communist Manifesto? If so you might heed your own sig line. Realizing that communism couldn't be heaped on a society all at once, he formulated tenets that would facilitate it over time. They are: 1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. 4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. 5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. 6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. 8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. 10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Just to help clear a few things up: Most people who talk about a "flat" tax are talking about an income tax with one flat rate. Still an income tax, and still Marxist in nature. The Fair Tax, on the other hand, is a tax on consumption, designed to replace both the income tax and payroll tax, and has been introduced in the US House (HR 25) and the US Senate (S 1025). The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

You are exactly right, and obviously very intelligent. I urge you to read about the "FairTax." www.fairtax.org The website is good, but the book is much better. It explains just how such a consumption tax would work and encourage investment in our economy. It also gives a good history of how the income tax came about. (It's a great example of how a temporary government program can never be temporary, it can only get larger.) The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

I too, wish her well. Pancreatic cancer is a tough one. My father died of it in 2006. The "Whipple Procedure" which I'm sure is what she just had, is very extensive and takes a long time to recover from. If successful it can prolong life for about a year to eighteen months. Add chemo and she has a very tough road ahead. My guess is that she'll resign soon. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

I don't expect much from him. I see straight through him. Additionally, I disagree that the mess is his to clean up. We place WAY to much importance on the job, as if we need a king. We place WAY too much blame on the job, as if we need a whipping boy. The economy has ups and downs. If left alone, it will recover on its own, and will be much the better for it. The best thing the Feds can do right now is cut taxes, provide some housing incentive, spend a very small amount on shovel ready programs, then get the hell out of the way. Instead, he is trying to sell this HUGE spending program with fear. It will be devastating years down the road. It's the ecomomic equivalent of a PIO. My question is when he admitted he screwed up - what did he screw up? The day before, he was behind TD all the way. Now that TD pulls out, he feels he must address it in some manner, but he doesn't explain it. Geithner is still in. He has yet to lead. He's an essay in hipocracy and inconsistency. I don't think he has it in him to be presidential. We'll see. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

What is he saying he screwed up? The vetting process? If so he had plenty of time to rectify the situation. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

But why didn't it come earlier. On Monday he was "absolutley standing with Tom Daschle." On Tuesday, another one bites the bus wheel. No new information surfaced. Nothing changed. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Isn't it just the opposite? Geithner was given money to pay the taxes. He kept the money, but didn't pay the taxes. It seems that his error was larger. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

No, it's not. "...you can't profit from a bailout." is a misinterpretation/spin of what he said, but it's not what he said. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Put away your ire for a second and think about it. Those companies are being bailed out instead of being allowed to fail. He's saying you can't profit from a bailout. That's not what he said. It just shows his level of naivate and lack of experience in the real world of business. It's hard to put away my ire when I see the most powerful free nation in the world trying to become a bunch of European socialist pussies. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.

Apparently my synaptic transmission fluid is low. Seriously, if it's an attempt at a PA, it's a poor one. If you're referring to a specific instance of violence, my knowledge of hate crimes is just not very extensive. The forecast is mostly sunny with occasional beer.
