Billion, million, sound the same to me, how different can they be? LMAO.

We're not gonna be able to keep this pig in lipstick `til Novemeber like I thought we could. . .

Most Greeks already know the score. Taxes and fees are going to soar, government services drop and a lot of pain is coming. The question is, how will the pain be distributed? Greece is amazingly corrupt by US standards. Bribes and kickbacks are a regular, accepted part of doing business...

Man, you let one fart escape and everyone is making jokes. :(

Exactly.

A decade ago, people were very worried about Y2K bugs bringing computers down. The very first place to bring in the new year was some cheezy island nobody ever heard of before. It was watched with interest not because the island was (by itself) significant - any other day and the island could...

Good news, no question. But interesting spin, none the less. That phrase "more confident" makes it sound like they are confident that the economy is on the mend. One could just as well written:

Looks like it's not just Uncle Sam that's boning you from behind, the Greeks want a go of it too: http://www.investorsinsight.com/blogs/john_mauldins_outside_the_box/archive/2010/05/03/the-great-reflation.aspx

I did something similiar. We were partying at a hotel pretty fierce some time ago. The next morning, I'm elevating down for breakfast and let an impressive stinker. The doors open to the lobby to reveal an old lady and her grand daughter waiting to go up. Still makes my eyes water to this...

How do you get a bunch of old ladies to say "fuck you!"? Yell "Bingo!" http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/05/04/1415023/2-injured-in-bingo-battle.html

Thank you for the example and doc. Page 16 shows the interesting chart. Federal Debt as a ratio to GDP was flat at about 20 points`til 1980 or so, then climbed to about 50% of GDP when apparently they began to get their house in order. Further, the federal deficit was only ~8 points compared...

Examples please. And fairly substantial and recent examples if you would be so kind, no "The country of Gomerton banned booze in 1865" or somesuch. World history is replete with examples of a significant and serious resistance to hard change. My example would be Detroit, Michigan. No matter...

What if it turns out the bomb was planted by the usual group of terrorists? Imagine that. A peaceful moose limb bent on destruction and the fiery deaths of innocents? Who could imagine such a thing? Boy, we'd sure be shocked.

More bad news: http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2010/04/26/costly-irs-mandate-slipped-into-health-bill/ Lots more regulation, IRS activity, government forms and time wasting pointless effort? Dow 14K here we come!

We need some really bad news, then we could set new all time highs.

Look up the sales tax in Greece. :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100503/wl_nm/us_greece_explosion

Highly skilled openings. If you are bright, talented, motivated and experienced in a specialty that is in demand plus not trivial to aquire, you can get a job. If all you can do is lift or carry things or other simple tasks, you're voting democrat and kvetching about your 99 weeks being up.

Imagine that you are in serious trouble financially. You're spending more than you bring home by a good bit. Your bank is ready to foreclose, your cards are maxed. You approach your parents, hat in hand, and ask them for a loan. They tell you to shape up, they want to see a plan for how...

It is hard to believe the History Channel would make a series with such a pro-liberty spin, although I rarely watch TV any more. In a hotel room, I watched a show about the history of space, and it was mostly about how great the Russian space program was and what a bunch of losers the Americans...

The days of a single bread winner raising a family from his job that a trained monkey could do are almost over. My old man was a meat cutter and we were a middle class nuclear family. Used to be that you could graduate form high school and work your way up to a decent job in a couple years -...
