So what?

You're a partisan friggin' idiot.

So, Haliburton's former CEO urged higher tax rates for other Americans? If not, then what's the sense in comparisons? HAL etal went "off shore" because the bulk of their business is off shore and there was little compelling reason to pay U.S. corporate rates on non-U.S. derived revenue.

As of 2009, Germany had a Debt to GDP ratio of 64%. The debt to GDP of the United States was lower, at 59%. And German debt figures aren't handicapped by spending almost a trillion a year on Defense. So Germany, with higher taxes, no Defense and an economy that fared better than America in the...

This is case in point of why you add so little to these discussians. Being that you're not-American, you know shit about even current events, here. The recently departed Senator, Robert Byrd was a former KKK member. Did modern Democrat's distance themselves from him? Was he virtually cast out of...

Whitlock is undoubtedly one of the best sportswriters in America. He's consistently outside the box and on the right side of issues. But, as much as I dislike Jesse Jackson-as a Chicagoan I've listened to his bs for literally 40 years now-in this instance, I kind of agree with him. And I find it...

I think you're on target with the Reid race. Even George Will, inferred the other day, Reid will get the vote out. I see Kentucky as different. Paul is a by far better candidate than Angle-she's just a nut-whereas Paul is a smart guy, but one who still thinks Barry Goldwater is the conscious...

Awesome!

You're an idiot. But you already know that. The Nasdaq broke 50% during Clinton's last 10 months in office but of course, ONLY OBAMA inherited an imploding economy. Average, two term, unemployment rates between Clinton and Bush were almost identical (low 5's) How, if the market was to...

I clearly remember my initial feeling, when watching ESPN Sports Center, in the CME lounge, the morning after Nicole Simpson was slain. "Well, at least her ex didn't kill her. A guy with OJ's fame and money could give two shits about hacking up some broad, who he was probably tired of fucking."...

Huh? Obama was a MAJOR advocate of the Afghan invasion. Are you unaware of his comments during his 2004 Senate race? When he said if Musharraf doesn't get serious fighting al Queda then we should bomb areas of Pakistan?

Congress-the epitome of self interest- acts as if BP willfully chose to create a disaster threatening the very sustainability of the company itself.

Are you arguing just for the sake of argument? This is how it was done. The scammer went into a deferred, illiquid back month (actually they traded a slew of back months going as far as 3/2015) where the Velocity account was able to enter a "high ball" offer. The OEC account then bought the...

You're a bit off base. The trades were "pre-arranged" which in itself is illegal. Secondly, while an LLC or an "enity" MAY shield the general partner from ordinary liability, the structure does not give the GP protection, as an individual, from losses committed by recklessness or fraud. For...

Perhaps you're confusing Griffin for Spike? Griffin was a century old CBOT firm taken down by a London trader who used his own great scam-he executed trades through a "third party", via a "give-up" agreement. It took Chicago customers of Griffin a few weeks to receive their funds.

Every pollsters sample of minorities is near identical, dumb fuck.

Because Obama is spotted virtual 100% approval from the 12% Black sample in Gallop, it greatly inflates his numbers. His support with whites has been at a flatlined 41% average for months. The biggest factor in Obama's sub 50 total has been imploding support from Hispanics. He's lost 20pts with...

Who're the conservatives, accusing Obama of being tough on healthcare? I've heard charges of "jamming it through while the Dem's still have a majority", lying about "transparency and bi-partisanship" but I've never heard a conservative accuse Obama of being a hard ass. Candy ass yes but hard ass...

I doubt McCartney has ever paid a penny in U.S. income taxes. He's not a citizen nor legal resident. Even if his income is derived in the States-and I imagine most of it is-he's exempt from Federal taxes, unless he stays here better than half the year, which he doesn't.

You've earned yourself a rare spot on my ignore list. (you're just the 2nd in my 9 years here) I don't have time for idiots which is why I've little time for this pitiful website. "Biggest death toll from a natural disaster"? Katrina? You're kidding me, right? "One of the worse economies...
