FRAK!!!!!Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

This one time, when I was like 7, I got vertigo and because I was throwing up all the time and dizzy as hell I had to take my medicine through the rear. In addition, I had half my face swollen at the time because I was hit in the eye with a pitched baseball in little league.
I recently had a dry socket, and man did that hurt. Not to mention that all the meds I was taking gave me a giant external hemorrhoid that was also very painful.
When I was 18 I got in a ski accent and had the end of the ski cut through my face, through my gums, and then out my mouth. Hence, the reason for the dry socket (replacing the tooth that was lost back then and shoved back in). Anyway, I had about 2.5 hours of stitches by a plastic surgeon, so I am as handsome as ever now, but they had to stop stitching a couple times because the pain meds were wearing off and they had to wait so they wouldn't OD me.
Well, if all those things happened at once the pain that congress is going to cause us on an individual basis for this incredibly stupid idea and vote is going to seem like a mosquito bite.
Side note; I'm only buying things made of wood for now on. That way when I need the heat I can burn it.Comment

Seems to me that people are realizing that $700 billion is a lot of money, but not so much in the context of the US economy and financial system.
We need to deleverage quickly, which is a several trillions of dollars process.Last edited by DanS; October 5, 2008, 23:59.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

They gotta figure out what they have first... then it's going to take quite a while to actually unravell the mess. (Even in cases where there isn't vested interests resisting actually marking things down.)
The Lehman Brothers administration will not be completed until 2018 at the earliest, according to the man in charge of selling and winding down the failed bank's European assets.
Tony Lomas, the chairman of business restructuring at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), said: "Based on industry experience, including cases like Polly Peck, Enron and [Robert] Maxwell, it could take a decade or more to close this administration, not least because it threatens to become bigger and more complex than any of these previous cases." Mr Lomas has been unravelling Enron's European operations for six years.Comment

Not least because it threatens the continued flow of attorneys' and bankruptcy administrators' fees.

"There is no defending," Grant replies. "A trainee making 45,000 a year would have had the common sense not to bet the firm on mortgage contraptions that no one in the firm actually understood. That is not a deep point to comprehend. Somehow, through, I will call it a criminal neglect and incompetence, the people at the top of these firms chose to look away, to take more risk, to enrich themselves and to put the shareholders and, indeed, the country, itself, ultimately, the country's economy at risk. And it is truly not only a shame, it's a crime."(\__/)
