Congress is just as much to blame for the debacle... as is the rest of his administration, among other people...

This would sort of be true it Congress had been the ones manipulating the intelligence. See post #6 above.

if it weren't for sex... he wouldn't be here.

Budhist sexual yoga is a pretty potent form of spiritualism, and I expect he knows all about it. Maybe he's pulling a Pope and trying to keep the flock from learning how easy it is to achieve enlightenment once you let go of the people who hold you back, ie, people like him.

What's the big deal? Their hearts were in the right place. Unfamiliarity with local customs is no reason to criticize anyone.

Oi Vey... is there a single person in the civilized world who is "unfamilair" with the fact that "Christmas" is a fucking Christian holiday? And that "Christmas Trees" are associated with it? And that Jews aren't? get real man, your argument is about as flimsy as anything to ever fly pat this place.

"Local Custom"? Where'd you dig that one up?

Bush is a dolt, though he probably didn't order the cards, or sign them, or know any thing about them, but it's just soooooo fitting.

I'm wondering how much of him we'll see after 20JAN09. I expect it won't be much.

Tuna Being Fished to Extinction

sad, very sad :-(

N.C. Residents Upset with KKK Fliers

because they misspelled "KKK"?

A billionaire and all the fucker can afford is a single-wide??? Why'd he even bother?

It's no shame to live as a billionaire, but it's a shame to die as one. And that's what this dude's gonna do.

JUMP! You Fuckers!

But people who bought houses they couldn't afford - or more likely ran up their credit cards then refinanced into a mortgage they can't afford - are total fucking imbeciles in 90% of the cases and they deserve no sympathy. Losing their house is the result of years and years of living above their means.

It's precicely because not EVERYONE is high up on the learning curve in economics and real estate that the indutry needs to be tightly controlled, to keep the vultures in the industry from misleading the less informed into believing that they can afford more than is realistic.

Guaranteed, all those little worms who SOLD those mortgages knew full well that the customers couldn't afford them! Buyer Beware and Fool Me Once may be acceptable practices in the home appliance trade, but it should be kept out of a market that involves $400,000 homes and 30 year mortgages.

The American ATTITUDE of SELFISHNESS, GREED and STUPIDITY is what caused this. The very pant pissers who don't want to admit that, are the same ones who will tell you that the USA is, or was, the leader of the Free World. Now, the Free World is following the USA's dive into the toilet and all the blabber mouths are suddenly forgetting how good they felt when they thought everyone liked them.

wow... this is horrible. Battling this pill culture has GOT to be moved up in the priorites list!

Disgusting pig. Yes, put him away. And the entire board of J&J as well.

wow... that's the first time I've seen that, thanks for pointing it out, pheonix. Till now, I just assumed that the very opposite would be true. I thought the "too big too fail, too big to exist" logic was in play.

Scary stuff.

um... paradoy? Parody!

my fucking Gawd... I may be one of the few to actually muddle through this DRECK. Wow! The WSJ actually printed this?

The delusional dimwit blames, first and foremost, the borrowers for the mess:

The path to 50% wealth reductions and the death of Wall Street was paved with good intentions, notably the notion that all should own a house, even if that required giving away the house to untutored borrowers with low-to-no-interest loans.

GOOD INTENTIONS??? ROFLMAO!

I'm thinking this has to be a paradoy piece or something, it cannot be for real.

Here, enjoy the concluding paragraphs:

It has been my view that the steady secularizing and insistent effort at dereligioning America has been dangerous. That danger flashed red in the fall into subprime personal behavior by borrowers and bankers, who after all are just people. Northerners and atheists who vilify Southern evangelicals are throwing out nurturers of useful virtue with the bathwater of obnoxious political opinions.

The point for a healthy society of commerce and politics is not that religion saves, but that it keeps most of the players inside the chalk lines. We are erasing the chalk lines.

Just wait and see what they refuse Dumbya, when he's standing the Pearly Gates.

BELL-
The kid had messed with the school's computers, too. I suspect there's a good bit more than simply farting in class that landed this kid in the spot he's in.

yeah, ok, he shut off some other kids' computers, wow, he sure sounds dangerous to me. He's a smart-ass trouble-maker. I bet you and I both did things worse than this in school. I mean, I know did.

But, get arrested at 12-years old??? No, this is NOT a job for the police, sorry. It only reveals the mentality of the society that accepts it. And that's pretty damn scary, imho.

STASI - look it up, it's what's for breakfast.

So, they arrest 12-year olds for farting in the Stasi-USA and all anybody can do is come up with fart jokes. There should at a least a little hint of outrage over this, imo.

A 19-year old named "CandyJunkie" on a BodyBuilding forum and you jackasses make jokes about it. What a bunch of sickos.

I want to hope that your own children grow up to do something like this, but I can't.

A tragic, sad waste of a life. And society doesn't really seem to give a damn anymore.

Touching story, I guess, but, who the heck wrote it? Was it a journalism assignment for a ninth grader that accidentally got published in the paper?

it's just so encouraging seeing all the usual rightwing suspects make asses of themselves, it makes me feel that God is in his heaven and all is as it should be.

None of you really give a flying fuck about the country or who may be or not be the best person for a certain position, you just want to be heard. Daschle is a great pick for the job. Suggest someone better, please.

Good Lord.... Rush Limboob is in the INFOTAINMENT bidness, and that's all there is too it! Are you ppl really so dumb that you believe this windbag?

The great Bob Grant was Limjob's superior in every aspect.

I really wonder, often, in fact, why people of faith would want the GOP in their GOD. Seems to me that politics has ruined religion, not the other way around. If I were a man o' the cloth, I'd try to discourage my flock from getting involved in the business of the government.

zzzZZZzzz

I went through Basic Training at Ft. Lost In The Woods in the State of Misery, btw...

Don't cry Argetina, Maradonna will fix it all up for ya!

wow, we have a president who actually understands how the internet functions and affects our daily lives! I like that! It just feels so weird having someone with a brain in the office after all these years...
