Nope. Nice to see you, j_b. Likewise, Off_White.

allright, here is my parting shot, because I don't know how long till I'll be back. So, Jay-B claims he isn't a free marketeer but to him the fact that we need government intervention on an unprecedented scale, after all these years of deregulation and several speculative bubbles, to prevent market collapse, is just the public helping the market "function better" .... Orwell would be proud! It's all good and fun to try to reinvent oneself but what does Jay-B own up to exactly? Bush as president? the Iraq war? trickle down that is in fact trickle up? is it too much to ask for a little honesty?

This version is much closer to the truth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ_qK4g6ntM

Of course, a little demonizing always comes handy when you don't know what to respond. But you haven't said "dirty hippie"" and invoked "kumbaya" yet, so you still have some ammunition in your tired bag of insults. oh yeah, because the fed pumping 100's of billions of dollars of public money into financial market to stave off financial collapse of the world economy is standard government intervention, right? The zealots have done everything they could to escape market regulations, through 2 huge speculative bubbles and now they claim they always were for regulations to help the market "function better". Franckly that is transparent and laughable. You guys have as much intellectual integrity as earth worms, but we knew that already.

why don't you call it for what it is: a de facto monopoly on broadband and cable "function better" ROTFL. It's the euphemism of the year! It is not a matter of functionning better,it's a matter of preventing rampant speculation leading to collapse. So there is a need for rules after all! Why is it that your type had been serenading us about the "self-regulating nature of markets"? Anyhow it's good to see that you are backtracking and conceding that there is a need for regulation. I'll leave you to your scary stories about "central bureaucratic mechanism controlled by the state"; you can always tell it to the children to keep them in line.

Note, i said it first you'd pull out your anti-terrorist rattle. You are such a goon!

as if we didn't know you'd vote for Iosif Vissarionovich, if you could. as if we didn't know he'd vote for Hu Jintao, if he could. Yeah right, it's always somebody else's fault. When it isn't the terrorists, it's the commies. Pathetic.

as if we didn't know you'd vote again for Bush if you could.

The free marketeers have had that free hand so far up their asses for so long (~30 years as a matter of fact) that it's proving after all to be a little distraction, isn't it JayB? You seem to have forgotten all that wonderful rhetoric about "big government" and "nanny state" and "welfare queens" ... "let them eat jelly beans" and all that. Isn't it after all a good thing that your pals couldn't quite "drown government in a bathtub"? Anyhow, I am not coming out of retirement but I have been itching to come jeering at you and your pal PP, who doesn't seem too keen either on denouncing this massive bailout of financial markets. What a surprise .... not!

what 10 minutes gone and no repartee from the master of the inane?

i'd like to comment but i do not know that it is in my best interest. commenting on political topics on this site may result in your being viciously called a terrorist supporter. discuss at your own risk.

haha! any other bon mot you'd like to share smart guy ...

that's about your speed! after all, you'd still be trading jokes about feces and testicles with trask & co if you had your way.

come on y'all, join PP, it so much fun! no only can you spread outrageous lies about someone but you can make fun of them when they protest! only in spray! brought to you by the cheap shot artists, pilers on and associated shitalkers of the spray section.

we all have to live up to expectations ... all of us! wait till someone calls you seriously a molester and we'll see how much of a champion you are.

the day i'll let a 2-bit wingnut call me a terrorist supporter without raising a stink hasn't yet arrived. you can just be sure of that, whether you morons can empathize or not. DeChristo: if ever i start expecting anything out of people like you, then i'll have a problem.

right, wingnuts calling progressives, terrorists supporters, on an internet board in the middle of the war on terror! boy, the thought of it is just too hilarious. it's no surprise they have walked all over us for the last 20years!

chicken shit liar! and to think this dude is a mod on this board. creepy!

you're back? but where is your evidence? liar!

would not surprise me too much.

i can't believe you are really this clueless. you can decide for yourself what image you want to give to people who read you. i firmly intend to be in control of the image i project and not leave it to liars like PP. whether you like it or not isn't really relevant.

wtf? you may not be intimidated by someone lying on the internet about your stance on trivial matters like terrorism, but i do!

oh my god! he now tells me he doesn't like the vitriol! poor little PP who can't just tell lies (what a euphemism) about someone without feeling the vitriol! just not fair ...

you are especially a rightwing goon who thinks he can intimidate others by making outlandish accusations in public.
