No Lace Cards? I had Apple IIe's to work with, loads of fun to be had there.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

So a free market is bad when everybody is able to invest, but is good when a chosen few are able to invest?

I hope they enforce all vaccinations for entry, other than those with legitimate medical exemptions.

True enough- IF you can prove it was a murder and not an accident.
 
Can you prove intent with global climate change? If you ignore the utterly non-scientific process of "scientific consensus", do you even have enough data left to prove the murder weapon?
 
And in the long run, does it matter? We're still left with the decision to either adapt or die; we're far too late for any mitigation attempt to work. Blame the culprit is a waste of time in this case.

You mean privatize everything, but still, under George Weasel Bush the gov't grew substantially.

Seeing as how Carly Fiorina's birth certificate reads born Carleton Fiorina, you may not be far off.

Sweet Jaysus, you're good!!!!!

What media? You mean tha newsy whorescum who sometimes forget themselves (like Brian Williams, formerly with ABC, and that Canadian fellow, Gian what's-his-face, formerly of CBC and now in jail) and continue lying once they get off the air? The very same Amerikan media owned by five corporations, themselves financed by just two major banksters which nobody seems to know who they ownership is?

"I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works.

Yup! Offshore all the jobs and buy up shitty companies like Compaq! Carleton Fiorina sure knows her stuff, alrighty! Bet she's even played toy blocks with Geo. W. Bush when he was in the White House?

In what way is insuring a fair and free market collectivism?

Species that are unable to adapt have been going extinct without mankind's help for 9/10ths of the planet's history. For the remaining 1/10th, we've been a major motivator of evolution, that's true- Dodos and wooly mammoths and the like. But we are also to the point with GMO research that we can be a major cause of increased adaptation- we can speed up evolution, and likely will, because beef is tasty (among many other species that are directly useful to us, such as bees). Speaking of that last, just saw a report on OPB about a pair of beekeepers with a unique solution to colony collapse disorder- they're breeding stronger queen bees that can live through Oregon winters.

If mankind wants to survive, food needs to be our top priority. Luckily, as I mentioned someplace above I think, food production is also an answer to excess atmospheric carbon. Especially if we keep locking our own carbon up in airtight containers buried in concrete when we die.

So all those SEC filings I've perused over the years, all those GAO reports, and various other books and reports and filings on deferred income and hedge fund managers and hedge fund people and private equity types is all lies?????

I think not, mofo! So how's about putting up or STFU! And to those ignorant of forensic finance, the super-rich and the hedge fundsters and private equiteers routinely give themselves "loans" from their offshore monies, which means they transfer their money back themselves in not taxable form, since their so-called "interest" they pay is not only non-taxable, but is really just transferring more money offshore!

Contrary to your ignorance, there is a parliamentarian procedure (I believe it is called "mediation") which allows the Executive branch to invoke it and therefore allow for a one-vote only majority on financial legislation, as opposed to the usual two-thirds majority required. (This only applies to financial legislation.)

This was invoked many, many times during the George Weasel Bush administration, but has yet to ever be invoked during Obama's time in the White House.

Excellent points, overall, his record is the best, it is on a few individual items where he falters, i.e., voting down the food stamp legislation and then stating he had second thoughts about that vote, and not being VOCAL ENOUGH about jobs offshoring and the use of foreign visa replacement scab workers!
