What better time to initiate energy cap & trade taxes on businesses and individuals? The Dems, so-called champions of the little guy, have propped up the fatcats, and are set to squash the rest of us with additional taxes and Government. I know that I cannot wait to pay them.

I went off on a tangent before, sorry about that. You do have a point here.

I read your post & did not see it that way at all. No tangent & nothing to be sorry for. You had points to make and you made them. There are few posters left here anymore in RWED, so everyone's contribution is important.

Gawd. Dammit.

Got anything in that kiosk to clean chocolate milk off a keyboard?

And ya know, that AIN'T a bad idea at all. Open up just outside the town hall meetings and the voting locations come election time...

There really are days when I honestly think we're going to see the angry mob rise as one and dispense some rough justice. But then I see that a new reality show is coming on, and the feeling passes.

But deep down inside, part of me still would not be a bit surprised to see it happen. Imagine turning into your exclusive gated community, only to be faced with the horror of seeing your nouveau-riche neighbors' lifeless bodies hanging from the light poles lining the streets. Might make ya think about taking that multi-million-dollar "bonus" from ShittyBank, eh?

While you're living beyond all your means;
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

The first reduction of interest rates happened 2 days after Clinton left office.

You have issued the premise that Clinton's economy was a good one and that wages were good.

You have suggested that interest rates were lowered in order to stimulate an economy which was lagging because wages were not keeping pace with inflation.

These statements are in contradiction with facts. How do you reconcile them?

Like this:

[Kwicko waves hands rapidly back and forth in front of Anthony's face and runs out of the room]

See?

Now what were you asking about?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist typing out the visual that that post brought to my mind... Yes, my inner 10-year-old is driving right now. Just in time for "Where the Wild Things Are" to come out this weekend!

Umm, we already DO stuff like that.

Set up shop just outside the legal limits, or nearby on someones property with their permission in exchange for a cut of the take, and make signs to order, as well as having a wide selection of buttons, pins and bumper stickers.

If I can remember which box it's in, I still have one of those Nixon buttons.
"Don't change dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for NIXON in '72!"
Won't sell it, but I've been known to wear it to republican political events.

Y'know, I've got an old campaign button - actually, it APPEARS to be a small belt buckle - that I keep around somewhere, too. It's an old daguerreotype of Samuel Tilden, the New York governor and conservative pick in the 1876 Presidential election. Tilden won the popular vote, but the Senate gave the presidency to incumbent Rutherford B. Hayes.

I have no idea why I have that button - er, buckle - but I picked it up for a dime at a garage sale, so it stays around...
