That is a powerful statement there. Hits the nail on why we can't value any of these "bundled" loans. You sir, are a thinker.

Let's see. The government with an equity stake in private (that's a laugh) companies. Sounds like an idea I read about once in a history class. Politics aside, does any of you truly not believe in the power of free markets? Just curious. I'll assume most responses will have something to do with obama being the solution. Another "not bush" voting year. It harkens back to one of my favorite south park episodes with the vote between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. I should have never read this thread.

Here is my problem. Ever since I took administrative law in law school, I'm convinced that every federal agency (fourth branch of government) that is generated seems to have as its primary goal self-sustainment. It scares me that any candidate wants to generate more federal programs to help us out (I certainly include bush in this arena) If a democrat would truly come out for specific reduction in federal agencies/commissions, it would make it so much easier to vote for the democratic ticket. And with that, I take off my pants and leave it to the thread sharks to take dead aim and

clay aiken's gay? now I've heard everything...

I am about to hit the patio before the rain hits, play guitar, get drunk, and with drunkenness comes drunk-dialing. so be prepared.

sorry I missed this thread, hope you had a great one!

We are preparing by drinking heavily.

Happy birthday!

this thread made me smile for a minute today that is some f***ing accomplishment

happy birthday you perv I don't "swing" that way

I have no problem with anyone zealously supporting a candidate. I just have a distaste for schoolyard insults (this only relates to this thread of course)

I wish I were as sure as most of you are this early on. It must be very comforting. you should know that at times the smugness is unbearable.

You are one of a kind Happy birthday friend

thanks for totally freaking me out.

was that an 80s tracy chapman hit?

thanks for another racist, hate-filled post

I was really going to take a stab at this thread but then I remembered to learn from the past. some of you can focus on such selfish minutia. but that is youth.

optimism is not contagious

all points aside I freaking adore your avatar

are you kidding me? a prosecutor with indictable evidence moves. that is just plain silly. and the political angle would be uncalculable. cite ANY credible evidence that an indictment against Bush has been stymied by political pressure.

this is the debate about our next president?

I'm still waiting on the damning mccain marriage hype. Do I need to go back a few more pages?

so two wrongs really do make a right

Ugly divorces are now the province of republicans? Why are you doing this?

agreed. why such animosity about the marriage?
