Course he's get shot down on that patrol and either end up rescuing lost children or lost ambrosia...before coming home to make love to his space-hooker turned nurse girlfriend who WAS the hottest girl on the old Galactica...cept maybe the chick who ran launch control.

Were was I? Oh...stimulas plan, bad. Lorne Greene, good.

You mean Lorne, the green guy from Pylea on Angel?

Yeah, he was good.

That other guy is dead.

Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch, Herb Jefferson JR., and Anne Lockhart are ALL going to be at MegaCon in Orlando next weekend! Also, the lovely Melody Anderson will be there(Brenda Maxwell from "Experiment In Terra"). That's quite a reunion for the 1978 Galacticans.

Why not indeed!
The originals: Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, & Sheba all in one room again. Even Count Iblis couldn't arrange that miracle by himself.

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand.

Yes, and amazingly it was back in 2003 (or 2001, 2004 or 2005, depending on revisionist history source), when the repubicans had ALL branches of government. And he STILL couldn't get it done. (The real president - President Barney Frank - was gettin' in the way don'cha know. )

.

Zero revisionism going on by my part, to be sure. It's ignorance ( feigned or not ) on your part which has you confounded. Barney Frank and the Dems needed only to dig in their heels, as the GOP did NOT have the " control " you claim they did. Which only figures. You don't want to deal with details and facts which disrupt your well estalbished template.

New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae

By Stephen Labaton

September 11, 2003

The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.

Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.

The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.

The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.

”There is a general recognition that the supervisory system for housing-related government-sponsored enterprises neither has the tools, nor the stature, to deal effectively with the current size, complexity and importance of these enterprises,” Treasury Secretary John W. Snow told the House Financial Services Committee in an appearance with Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who also backed the plan.

Significant details must still be worked out before Congress can approve a bill. Among the groups denouncing the proposal today were the National Association of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing. ”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.” Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed. ”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

Then, there was this attempt....

Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005

The United States Senate May 25, 2006 Sen. John McCain [R-AZ]: Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings

Also, per the Time blame game, I said Bush was in the MIDDLE of the list, as in down the list , from the top, which is where most of the blame is placed. W is down , just behind Bill Clinton, in terms of those responsible.

Doofus. If you "vote" your opinion, you get to "See" the average results. Just going down the list as presented, the values go like... 7, 9, 2, 5, 8. IE NOT in order.

If I ever had any doubts about your reading comprehension, those doubts have been laid to rest.
