“Let him vacation. The longer he’s gone the better.”

I agree. I can’t understand why people are upset with this.

Volume was highest in the morning at the sell-off. Increased traffic at attempted rally. Low volume blues the rest of the day. I’d like to see how it ends today.

The only cone with a slight elevation, followed by a steep drop to the bottom. Fill up the depression with heavy chocolate syrup for the bull-@#$@#, and you have a level playing field!

Buy chickens and goats, hay and feed. Also tiller and seeds. Livestock will provide the fertilizer, along with eggs, milk, wool and meat. You provide the land and the labor. Buy shot gun, shells and reloading equipment and supplies. Put up barbed wire fence.

Obama should offer up the ultimate stimulus package: I will not seek the nomination of my party for the Presidency of the United States.

You need to search the “Completed Listings” on eBay to see what things sell for.

Some people overpay, but prices run very tight to spot for non-premium items.

where President Barack Obama and his family are expected to stay during August vacation.

7. Make college loans exclusively from college teacher retirement funds, and each teacher gets credit only when his/her students repay the loans. They’d probably have to charge 30%+ interest, and cut college teacher pay in half, at first.

After a bit, they’d gut most liberal arts majors and teachers, and DeVry and Phoenix would own the field.
