Grampa, you are so right! The DNC is losing a huge cash cow. Now the heifer Senator from NY will have to rethink her stratergya little.

AOL/Time-Warner was so typical of the smoke and mirrors ecomony of Clintoon. No value-no worth.

So when will CNN or the Clintoonian Noodle Nuts be put up for sale?

I have a feeling that's why Ted Turner quit.

I like to think that the Democrat induced Netscape purchase by AOL, who in turn was purchased by AT&T, in turn scraffed up by the Ted Turner Time-Warner anit-Microsoft Crowd is getting their just deserved.

I wonder if all those deals were only able to happen because they had the blessing of Joel Klein's Antitrust Division at Janet Reno's Justice Department.

I hadn't even thought of how these DNC corporations going belly up would affect the Hilldebea$t. I was just looking at it as a national picture. In two years a lot of corporate cash cows for the DNC are belly up or getting ready to assume that position. They have to be really hurting for money.

However, you are right on target re the Hilldebeast. One of her biggest cash cows, Martha, is out of the donations business. The Hilldebeast could really be hurting for money really bad when the Opecker Thugs and these Rat CEOs no longer exist. Ted Turner was a big cash cow for the Clintoons, and he is back to breeding buffaloes to be with his family.

When I saw on Fox News the headline on the bottom of the screen about Ted Fonda leaving, the first thing that came to my mind was a plan to sell CNN was discusse.

Ted Fonda got up and said, "You will sell CNN over my dead body!"

Then the bean counters at AOL said> "That could be arranged if you don't resign and go breed buffalo to spend time with your family."

So Ted Fonda is leaving AOL/TW/CNN and whatever. Adios Ted and please let the door knob whack you as you leave!

The full-year loss exceeded the gross domestic product of Egypt in 2001.

Wow, that's a lot of dates, explosive belts and King Tut T-Shirts.

All these rat run companies gave massive sums of money to the DNC. Then Jake Reno okayed any takeover or whatever they wanted. She even sued Microsoft to please them.

In January 2001, the Clintoon left power. Jake Reno could no be the enforcer for these rat run companies. They invested in the Clintoons and the DNC instead better products, services and personnel. That investment ran out of air when GW became president.

Have you ever subscribed to AOL and made requests for technical assistance? Their product is lousy and their service is lousy as well. They deserve to lose money.

Poor Teddy Fonda. Jane doesn't want him! AOL doesn't want him. Now the rats don't want him as he loses tons of money each day.

So he will have to go breed buffalo to have some family and friends to chew the fat with.

The blood-soaked field is littered with the carcasses of the dead. Pittman, Case, Turner, Levin -- and scores of second-tier AOL execs.

Case's brilliant ploy (some say he slipped a mickey into Gerry Levin's drink to make him agree to the deal), has now turned into a disaster, and a morality play. Was it ethical for Case to reach so high, when he knew damn well AOL was not in the same league as TW? Was it ethical for him to use the phony numbers of the bubble and the irrational exhuberance of the internet euphoria of the late 90s to convince Levin that his company was more valuable than it really was?
