“Well, have a great day y'all.

And let's try to find the silver lining in all this.

For those difficult-­to-shop-fo­r people on your list, an empty building in Dubai may be just the ticket for Christmas this year.”

“please don't tell me it was AIG.”

“Oh, dear.

I do hope a member of the Dubai royal family doesn't have to fake-suspend his campaign to (not) resolve this crisis.”

“Personally, I don't mind the 'government takeover' of the auto industry.

In fact, I like it a heck of a lot better than the government takover of Iraq.

It was FAR cheaper, there was actually a point for it, and nobody was k.illed for warprofiteers to get richer.”

Hardcore liberals are caught in a quandary.

On the one hand, they sense a real opportunity presented by global economic woes to mount a sustained argument for a move towards bigger government and socialist policies. The worse things get, the better they figure their chances so it's tempting to hope for massive collapse.



Hardcore Republicans are caught in a quandry.

Continue with outmoded arguements against imaginary takeovers while ignoring the fact the few 'socialist' programs that ARE in place are immensely popular and successful even (especially) among their base?

Or pretend that all 'liberals' are poor, unwashed beatniks who haven't been dramatically and negatively effected by the complete incompetence and unsustainability of Republican policies?

(How smart does one have to be to continue to advocate policies that have been both proven failures and resoundingly rejected by the American people?)”

“"By shifting the power base back to the family things are as they should be as far as Abu Dhabi is concerned," said Mohammed Shakeel, a Dubai-based analyst for the Economist Intelligence Unit.'

'shifting the power base back to the family'.

how encouraging!

Circle the wagons.

let them eat sand?”

“'Last week, Sheik Mohammed demoted several prominent members of Dubai's corporate elite and replaced them with members of the ruling family, including his two sons, one of whom is Mohammed's designated heir.'


I admit, my empathy for anyone styled as a member of the 'corporate elite' probably wouldn't overflow a teaspoon.

But places where 'corporate elite' are summarily replaced by members of a 'ruling family' does even less for me.”

“???

he just co-sponsored an amendment with alan grayson.”

“Ron Paul is the New Reagan?

Which Reagan?

The Reagan who actually was, or the one Republicans revised him to be?”

“Congratulations, Democrats.

And not a single childish whimper about the need for the Nuclear Option.

Unlike some other petulant miscreants whom shall remain nameless.”

FoxNews and Rasmussen both have Obama's approval plummeting to 48% today.

Palin's book sells 300,000 copies in ONE DAY!



Personally, I'm happy for Sarah.

I never thought every Republican left in America would buy their copy on the same day.”

“I suggest Democrats pay Sarah Palin to endorse Rudy.

That'll keep the seat in the 'D' column for sure.”

“Rudy can keep NY safe.

He's the first line of defense.

He can see Jersey from his window.”

“Let him run.


It will only last until Katie Couric asks him what he reads.”

“he was probably offered cash under the table.”

“Well, everybody does know Rudy.

For someone else, that would be an asset.”

“Rudy is the only person to become famous from 911.

I mean, it's not like anyone can name the 19 hijackers off the top of their head.

If that alone doesn't illustrate the guy has some abnormal priorities, I don't know what would.”

“Have a great day y'all!”

I voted for Obama, but if the job situation hasn't improved greatly, in 2012, he will be defeated. I think he should fire Geithner and Summers


I expect you'll fare much better under Republicans.

Vinca: I need a job.

Party of No: No.”

“Why so blue?

:)”

I notice the Obama F0x freeze out has ended. That policy worked out well, didn't it?



Fox will show footage of a Malcolm X interview and claim it was their sit-down with Obama.”

“I'm guessing the blue type is symbolic?

We're supposed to be holding our breath (post) until we turn blue?”

“Heavens to Mergatroy'd!


Exit, stage left.”

“Why are they offended by the word teabagger?

I saw those 9/12 'protestors'

Frankly, most of 'em should be grateful for the implied attention.”
