Dow closed 1/2/09 (the last trading day before the above post) at just a bit over 9k.

Do not forget the power of lobbyists, campaign contributions and all the rest. C is top dog in political pull, right with BAC. In some ways it might even be reversed. But you can bet your bottom dollar that C is far more integrated into the political machine than even GM. GM will cost us a...

To be fair, the government of Somalia only recently passed a resolution that completely declared Sharia. There was a minor area that was not. Plus, it might still be in process. But it's a tiny footnote on the truth of this article.

Problem was, the government people are experts at doing the screwing, not getting screwed. Now, if we had an institution that was based on getting @$$-raped, why the feds would be THE dominant players. And look, we do. It's called the Federal Penitentiary System.

It's even smaller when one gets the amount of $100 million right.

Once again no surprise. Not even the moonbats expect anything but lies, blatant falsehoods and rampant hypocrisy from the left. These basket cases have sailed from the shores of reality a long time ago. It is surprising that she is still semi-functional on her own.

It's easy to spot the authentic ones. They are made from clothing, are dingy white and have a brown splotch. ;)

Specialization is another reason. Take an IT guy for an easy example. If he cuts loose from his steady paycheck to hang out a shingle, he now has a lot of other duties. Like invoicing customers, finding new gigs, dealing with purchase departments etc. When I was a self employed consultant, I...

She starred in some movie - maybe it was called Cats and Dogs or something can't recall - but she was attractive in it. It was a good movie and she did well. On 24 however, she's trying to be the new instance of a sullen female computer genius/geek, and she just cannot pull it off with any...

But it has worked many times in the past, and it will work again. You make the mistake of assuming that everybody wants to live and work in a free country that has a high standard of living. That's not the case any more. A large percentage of voters now want to live on somebody else's dime...

On one side, you have private citizens (the "rich") with fat retirement accounts. On the other, you have government wealth redistribution plans (Social Security, Medicare, ADC etc) in serious trouble and voters demanding ever increasing handouts. That's not an environment condusive to a safe...

Frank over at WWW.IMAO.US made a good point:

The French should be cautious when speaking about leaders and their dogs: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151564&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

". . . letters of marque. . . " LOL. Reasonably good idea, but the best part of it is it would drive the left insane! Boatloads of white males with guns roaming international waters shooting at minorities and muslims - there'd be heads exploding all over Europe as that image spread. And...

Don't make the mistake of assuming that everybody has prosperity as their top value because many (most?) people do not. There is a large group of people in the USA that consider other factors to be of more importance, such as "fairness". In their eyes, a poorer world where people are more...

And finally for today one that all you youngens won't understand: Roy Rogers' Boots One day Roy Rogers was passing the boot maker's shop when he noticed a pair of boots in the window that were the most beautiful he had ever seen. He entered the shop and told the proprietor that he must...

A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!" The panda yells...

Q. Why does a chicken coop only have two doors? A. Because if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan.

LMAO! The banks sign a deal with the devil (accept bailout coin), then the next thing they know it's: "Did you fly here in a company jet? You make too much money! Your bonus is too big! You charge your customers too much money! You need to make lots more, lots cheaper loans to...

You need to pony up $16.59 in posting fees. :D
