You're 180 degrees ass-backwards, as usual.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in "the Republicans are doomed" thread. Either way, it works.

YEAAUUHH!!!

It's not possible, given the scale and scope of this swindle and the nature of the Ponzi structure, that the liquidation of Madoff's assets will come anywhere close to covering the massive losses. Will the State step in beyond the paltry $500,000 guarantee to prop up the banks, foundations, and Shi-Tzu set that got taken to the cleaners? Stay tuned.

The results in America probably wouldn't be much different.

The latest recipients of a government bailout? Rich gullible douchebag Ponzi investors! A Palm Beach Enclave, Stunned By An Inside Job Judge Signs Order To Protect Madoff Investors

Yes, I see your point. Thank God neither the US nor its allies engage in unlawful detention and torture.

It also seemed worth asking to Sean Hannity, who did so when the incident was broadcast on Fox News. It's on Youtube. You fail...again.

Not bad. Amphetamines will do that.

I'm lovin' it.

Ha! According to the logic of your opposition to hate-crimes legislation, these people were just petty vandals!

Who is "we" and does it include the residents of Gary, Indiana?

Agreed. UAW workers' hourly wage, including benefits, is $70+/hr while workers at "scab" or non-union plants putting together those trash Toyotas and horrible Hondas make $40+/hr (80-90 grand a year for a factory job is no pittance). The UAW would do best to realize they've priced themselves out of a job. America would do best to realize that the lack of a national health care system has priced itself out of a middle class.

Workers have to start thinking outside the national cage.

Thanks for the Thatcherite perspective.

Thanks for the Canadian perspective.

Somebody needs to go over there and MAKE IT RAIN!

"Losing the baby" might be politically risky, raising questions as to whether she should have "kept the baby" in the first place. However, this option might be appealing to Sarah since she could use it as a pretext for giving Trig back to Bristol under the pretext of a "consolation prize".

I can only assume you mean Trig, since the impostor-baby is still gestating within the surrogate mother's womb. She's most likely a low level RNC operative with appropriate genetic characteristics. Someone like this:

Can we not come together in a spirit of bipartisanship to limit, if not place an outright moratorium on, the use of the term "assclown"?

The golden parachute.

The UAW has been giving up concessions for 25 years, you dumb cluck.

My bills are fine. Paid off the credit card in full a couple months ago. Feels good. As far as "shut the fuck up" goes, I've noticed that you've been shut the fuck up for a couple months now. Why is that? Have you any opinions about how badly the ideas you've been espousing around here have screwed this country and the rest of the world on a scale not seen in our (or most of our parents') lifetimes? Any ideas on that Fairweather? Or will you just stick with the bottom feeding, trite, easy shit: the guns, abortion, petty corruption and daily tabloid hypocrisies? Are you in denial? Were you misled? Any thoughts on the way forward? Stock tips? Bushmeat recipes?

By sinking the auto bailout, the Southern Republicans just shot another hole through the hull of USS United States of America in a cynical, purely ideologically driven effort to bust the UAW. Real smart. I'm honestly astonished at the complete disregard for reasoned analysis and foresight, their utter dereliction and abandonment of political leadership. Truly epic. In all seriousness, if I had any investments right now, I'd sell them and buy gold.
