Let's get this bubble burst and get ON with our lives.

Bubble is the wrong word for it. It's a boil and it needs to be lanced.

Would the first adult arriving at the White House please send out apology letters to foreign leaders for the ongoing parties our children have held in DC for the past few months while we have been away?

I've already apologized to Queen Elizabeth for all of us and I've never been inside the White House.

There must be a Chuckie Cheese close to the White House and Zer0 is running shop from the Ball Pit.

... a killer reality TV show ...

Reality? That's just a nostalgic shiver at this point.

Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said there is an "urgency" for the U.S. to solve its banking problem. "If they're going to be nationalized then go ahead, if they are going to be liquidated then go ahead. But it must be done quickly,"

Yeah, my policy is always to listen to guys named Guido, especially when they're Brazilian socialists giving advice on banking. Thanks geo. :')

I am beginning to believe that Geirthner will not be around long.

The first of many fall guys?

How depressing for a bed time story. Now that I think about it, links on Fr could be the reason for my insomnia. Too many pictures of Helen Thomas for example...

[FlyingEagle]

This birth certificate thing, may turn out to be the only way out of this mess. Let’s revive it.

I wonder if it’s the fact that Geithner is an admitted and well-known tax evader that keeps people from wanting to work in the Treasury Department?

I gotta think that a number of well-qualified individuals out there are saying “I can’t work with someone who won’t pay his taxes. If I take a job with this guy, I’m essentially saying ‘Yeah, I’m OK with tax evasion’”.

John Kerry was forever telling us he had a plan also during W’s re-election.

We have been toiling diligently in this vineyard for quite some time now. Problem is, nobody in government gives a sh*t whether Obama is constitutionally qualified or not. It's selective enforcement. So... your rights are secure only if someone in the court system gives a rip. If not, you are screwed. So much for inalienable rights. They are subjective.

I don't care Who your Congressional representative and US Senators are... if you rel-elect them, you are part of the problem. Our government has become completely detached from the people and we now live in some sort of fascist state where the "in crowd" of 535 plus 9 and the bench decide our lives, our freedoms, our wealth. Don't believe me? Just try leaving the country... You'll need at least a fig leaf.

Thanks for the ping, that is cute!

[george76]

Lol, they don’t know what they’re doing up there! Lost at sea.

[hinckley buzzard]

Not pretty. They are simply beyond themselves and baffled, like monkeys trying to fly an airliner.
