- Judicial Watch obtained a Treasury Department memo under the Freedom of Information Act showing details of Hank Paulson’s famous mid-October meeting with nine major banks.

If the economize keeps sinking and the SS/Medicare bucks disappear then Lobo Dolonez of Mexico CNN will not be happy when fat/tattooed illegal aliens from US America come flooding across the border looking for work.
Obviously, Barack Hussein Obama, Socialislamofascist witch doctor, made Hank Paulson cram that money down the banks’ throats using his magic “staff”.
Most of the folks looking to get their paid fuck on on Craigslist aren’t stupid enough to do it in the erotic services section, so expect this bold and brilliant move to result in everyone “looking for a generous [ ] to give me 250 roses!!1!” burying their ads in the “Casual Encounters” like the rest of us more savvy whores.
I’m tired of working. Can I just go somewhere and write on a sheet of paper how much money I want. I promise not to pay executive compensation that grossly exceeds industry standards.

You just gave me an idea for a retirement job. I’m going to move to Mexico, get a little cart and sell Minnesota food. Side Benefit!!! This will also reduce the Mexican birth rate because after they’re stuffed with pinto bean hot dish they’ll be too lethargic to do the nasty.
Can we export Lou Dobbs, his arrogance and annoying lisp?
Obama should just suspend habeas corpus altogether like a real American president.
The Treasury has invested $199.1 billion in the bank preferred share program, with $1.2 billion since returned by 12 institutions, according to government data.
I’m impressed that they’re getting money back from twelve institutions when they gave it to nine. I learn something new about our business community every day.
Also, Pete Hoekstra wants to nail Nancy Pelosi in the worst way.
In related news, due to lack of regulation, Craigslist is adding a murder section.
Craigslist is for selling your old couch, not your old cooch. Get it straight, people.
When will they be adding the MC4mm or USS4t sections?
Time to take yer dirt nap, Bitter Boomers.
Also married, straight, manly Charlie Crist is gonna be replaced by a lady named: Alex.

Is anyone else nervous that Mexicans are preferring to live in a swine-flu’d country that is torn by drug violence and daily kidnappings over the US?
[re=316358]Rush[/re]: Can we also export Lou Dobbs’ fat, no-necked ass & sad gay clown makeup?
[re=316364]rereridiculous[/re]: It’s NOT ok to contact this person with other offers or advertisements.
[re=316353]x111e7thst[/re]: The Census is going to have a box on it where can put down how much money you want.
ISO snark partner for NSFW NSA PNP fun. No Cleveland Steamers please. STDs OK. Anal. Also.
Isn’t the country already majority-Bohunk?
Remember back in the bad ol’ days of W, when the ACLU and Glenn Greenwald were going on and on about how the changes in civil liberties enacted by the Bush administration were going to be incredibly difficult to undo?
I really, really wish they weren’t right.
When is that Russian’s prediction of Texas falling to Mexico, or becoming under Mexican control going to come through? Because I might consider moving there then.
