I wouldn't say infiltrated. Paid off, even extorted in two cases, but not infiltrated. ;)

Nutmeg, I do believe you have found a loophole. Gotta go get me a chicken ranch and get started on my new business. Soon to be a franchise, I'll let all me fellow ETers in on the ground floor. :)

How jaw-droppingly, depressingly empty does one's life need to be to reduce them to such a pathetic wretch lurching around in the shadows, desperately trying to scribble his graffiti on a wall before it is erased and he is chased away? I cannot even imagine.

I presume. It shows a frog with a spine. That's pretty funny.

I couldn't find one either, so I grabbed the first book in the cookbook section and headed back to the apartment. I really should be more careful in other cultures - the name of the book was 101 Ways to Wok Your Dog.

"Mr. President, Chairman Hu's on the phone." "Who?" "Yes Mr. President" "Huh? Who's on the phone?" "Yes sir." "Arafat? WTF, he's dead. He can't be on the phone." "No, Mr. President, Hu's on the phone." "I don't know who's on the phone, I didn't answer it." "Sure you do...

`Cuz it's a risk free game. Heads and the bankers win, tails and the taxpayers lose.

A blonde was shopping and came across a silver thermos. Fascinated by this object, she brought it to a clerk to ask what it was. “That's a thermos,” the clerk said. “It keeps some things hot and some things cold." "That’s amazing,” said the blonde, and bought the thermos. When she...

But The One has "saved or created" some eleventeen gabillion jobs. I mean, how can you argue with that?

They split 65 million three ways just for having an idea. But no, that's not enough, they want even more. That's the problem with being rich & famous, the cockroaches crawl out of the woodwork, hook up with some lawyers, then come after you. People who never liked you and haven't seen you...

"Kick the can down the road" is gonna be the overused phrase of the year.

Interestingly, there appears to be rewards for the first of the PIIGS to tank. If the PIIGS are going down like dominoes in some cheezy analogy (:D), then the first one(s) will get the best bailouts. The "trailers" who unwisely do the best job of keeping themselves afloat ("Afloat? Didn't he...

Portugal could be the proverbial straw. . . <IMG SRC=https://admin.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/File/LisaCatchDEC2010/squash4BIG.jpg> Note that the #s are from May, so it's kind of old. But it does show the crazy interconnectedness of the whole mess.

Spread, but also include more details. How was this innocent man found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? The anti-punishment folks have an agenda so they are pushing this story out. Nobody is more happy than I that an innocent man is . . . well, he was already free but now he's exonerated...
