Idea for the new Bank of America CEO: how about giving everyone in America a Christmas present – like a set of cheerful holiday shot glasses, or a glossy calendar or a CD like “Ed Ames Sings Christmas Favorites”
Wouldn’t that be a nice way to say thank you to all of us?
Re Chinese climate change legislation, no one in China pays much attention to laws of any kind. It’s a surprisingly libertarian place, in practice.
So, Citigroup can’t find anyone to buy the foreclosed homes, and doesn’t want to have to pay to keep them warm enough so the pipes don’t freeze?
That’s what happens to people who try to jack Ozymandias’ title
China, a Lieberman among nations.
Nidal Hasan should be rehabilitated quickly so the Army can kill him.
[re=480277]zhubajie[/re]: China is probably the most libertarian totalitarian dictatorship in the world. Quite an achievement! Oh, but don’t drink the water for the next 2,000 years or so.
[re=480294]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: “Wow, Maj. Hassan, you’re making great progress with your PT. By the end of the year, you’ll be able to walk to the death chamber all by yourself!”
ha ha. stupid muslin can’t jerk off to his fancy god book anymore.
[re=480319]P Drizzle[/re]: Neither can Karzai, ’cause we be watching his every move.
Or is Karzai the stupid muslin you had in mind already?
[re=480352]chaste everywhere[/re]: we all over his shit like mike steele on the internets.
Strangely, I read “Brian Moynihan” as “Brian Boitano” the first time I saw this.
[re=480361]P Drizzle[/re]: Oh, THAT stupid muslin!
