I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
hi
ho
party? in these times?
I'll do sheets
yearrgh!
Visca Catalunya!
No one could have predicted that I was not going to be first.
First????
Jaysus.
Haloscan talks but she LIES.
Bitch.
If Donohue's group is really "350,000 strong", why is he the only one ever seen?
The poo of Christian love?
KBR mistreated US Stormtroopers?
Good!
Let them eat bloody shit & die until they go after REAL terrorists!
That's a funny version of Where's Waldo.
So my wingnut housekeeper told me she heard some legislator (can't remember who or where from) who said he was going to Washington to propose a 2-month tax holiday in lieu of the bailout, that this would magically solve all of our problems.
I hadn't heard anything about it. Has anyone else?
Donohue down in the dumps. Jealous because he wasn't chosen for a model.
Where's Waldoo
Tax holiday? like on payroll taxes? that would sort of help i guess.
I hadn't heard anything about it. Has anyone else?

I've been hearing a lot about the "two-month tax holiday." The radio blowhards are pimping it.
Catalunyans are kinda weird.
donohue is directly and materially supported by the archdiocese of ny.
you could even say he was an employee of the RCC.
Gack. Hemp Troll.
Do the "Day Of The Dead" figurines that a friend gives me every birfday make me a Satanist, or something?
i assume they REALLY mean a 2 month "holiday" on capital gains.
Sounds like a riff on the gasoline tax holiday that was being spun by McSenile in the summer.
Good morning all. I'm in decompress mode today. I left a comment as requested:
As always, leave a comment and God has promised me he'll smite the troll of your choice.

Seeing no rules about it having to be pithy I believe I'm entitled to a troll smiting but I can't decide which one. Any suggestions?
Everybody poops.
(Somebody had to say it.)
donohue is directly and materially supported by the archdiocese of ny.
I've been wondering what they were doing with surplus cash since the hungry were all fed, the homeless given shelter, the sick healed, et cetera et cetera
How much does Donohue charge for one of these outrages? You'd never even hear about half of the shit that ticks him off unless he started complaining about it.
I'm thinking he's not cheap, but then again, a lot of the small museums and such that he rails against don't have huge budgets. On the other hand, you do get a lot of bang for your buck.
Wait until Gi911iani hears of this!

I really hate the whole "we can consume our way out of this mess" to problem-solving.
People don't need to buy any more crap.
Instead of an economy based on people buying stuff they don't need, how about an economy based on people having jobs? A productivity-based economy versus a consumption-based economy.
Am I way off base here or what?
No one thought to call a post on this "Homage to Catalonia"?
Am I way off base here or what?
Southern Beale
Of course not.
But a consumption based recovery makes the rich richer immediately.
Your way, they have to wait a little longer.
We can't have that!!
For the record, I'm in the camp that wants Tweety to quit teevee, run for office and be hopelessly humilated by losing in a primary, thus retiring from public life forever.
agree southern beale. it would SORT OF help by stimulating demand at the "consumer" level. but the cost of it would be astronomical for the benefit. much better to jsut start building bridges and dams and railroads.
The pooping nativity figures have reminded me that I need to right a sermon.
Later youse guys.
Do the "Day Of The Dead" figurines that a friend gives me every birfday make me a Satanist, or something?
bill buckner
No, but prostrating yourself naked in front of that head of Baphomet that you have in your living room is iffy.
i assume they REALLY mean a 2 month "holiday" on capital gains.
Capital... gains? Where?
Salvem el caganer!
"Meiers Frau"
Ihr Gang, hinreizend,
Ihr Guck über Vorspeisen
Haben mich ganz fest gefangen;
Soll ihr Mann an uns gucken
Und gleich das Essen ausspucken
Er wird wohl mich sicher erwürgen.

lots of people are making money. come on.

Libby, |
Yes, please.
That's pretty much what Sirota is saying.
Am I way off base here or what?
No, you're absolutely right.
For the record, I'm in the camp that wants Tweety to quit teevee, run for office and be hopelessly humilated by losing in a primary, thus retiring from public life forever.
I like the way you think.
I'm assuming Catalonian nativity scenes are far more populated than the ones I'm used to.
Tweety is one weird dude.
The only thing I can say about him for sure is that he's as un-self-aware as Bush.
And that's scary.
...and then he can get a local cable-access show and call it "Dumbbell."
The Dow is very spiky today.
The figures symbolize fertilization and the hope for prosperity in the coming year
Aren't there plenty of barnyard animals in your average Nativity scene to provide the fertilization without resorting to this sort of thing?
lots of people are making money.
I can't tell if you're kidding, but this isn't the impression I've been getting.

That's crazy talk!
9/11 = go shop!
Economic Disaster = go shop!
"Meier's Wife"
Her walk, charming
Her glance over appetizers
Have totally captivated me
Should her husband look at us
And immediately spit out the dinner
He will probably strangle me.
My grandparents kept a pair of those (an old man and woman) on a knick-knack shelf when I was a kid. My granny delighted in showing them off to company.
head of Baphomet...
That is no head of Baphomet! It's just the cat!
Tweety is one weird dude.
The only thing I can say about him for sure is that he's as un-self-aware as Bush.
And that's scary.
I'd agree with that. He's a split personality, in so many ways. He's smarter than Bush, though.
and the subsequent career of punkette icon Joan Jett
You made me look, damn you.

Rmj, : The same reason "Speed Racer" was a live-action film?
"Speed Racer" got made because someone got the nifty idea of casting Christina Ricci as Trixie. It all fell into place after that.
I would have cast her as Speed.

abyssgazer : Making a stupid remake of a good movie is just immoral. Like that remake of "Psycho" several years ago--why?
There some talk of a Captain Blood remake. Captain Blood - the movie that revealed to the universe that Errol Flynn was a god amongst men.
There isn't enough testosterone left in the entire species to remake this movie.

bad link Rmj
The pooping nativity figures have reminded me that I need to right a sermon.
Later youse guys. - left rev
Time to squeeze out another one.
Bill Donahue always struck me as somewhat catatonic...
oops..

The folks in the payroll software business just had massive coronaries.
I can't tell if you're kidding, but this isn't the impression I've been getting.

your claim is that 0 people and corporation in the USA are profitable?
I'm assuming Catalonian nativity scenes are far more populated than the ones I'm used to.
They contain fish heads.

Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
My cats are smarter than Bush.
My desk is smarter than Bush.
The dead leaves on the sidewalk are smarter than Bush.
Christmas turds are smarter than Bush....
Mmmmmm, ... Xian baaaaaby

Jebus. A Christmas fundraiser for Focus on the Family?
its not even that. with no capital gains, say you bought - oh i dont know- a Bronx baseball team for 8 million in 1972. and today it was worth 2 billion. you could sell it and pay NO TAX on the 1.98 billion gain.
The duck sheep is amusing.
OK, prostrating yourself naked in front of the cat makes much more sense than prostrating yourself naked in front of a head of Baphomet.
Vicki -
Did you find a keyboard? Unfortunately, Rob doesn't have anything that he's willing to part with at the moment. Sorry I wasn't able to hook you up.
your claim is that 0 people and corporation in the USA are profitable?
No but that's not all capital gains. It's personal income and corporate profits.
Capital gains is selling financial assets (usually stocks) for more than you paid for them, and there's not a lot of that going on right now.
sheets of pessimisme
I wonder if it would be okay with Donohue if Baby Jesus was the only one pooping in the nativity scene.
dan mcenroe : I've been hearing a lot about the "two-month tax holiday." The radio blowhards are pimping it.
Fuck them on general principles. They don't deduct enough money from my paycheck in taxes for me to worry about that.
I need a two-month holiday from health insurance payments.

or say there was no gift tax or whatever. you could transfer your entire estate to your son or daughter without paying any taxes.
what a racket.
Now THIS is a nativity set.
Once again, they left out the black dude.
Why do people always forget that Balthazar is black?
Speaking of Spain.......
SPANISH COURT MAY WIDEN PROBE INTO US FLIGHTS TO GUANTANAMO
Prosecutors at Spain's National Court on Thursday asked judge Ismael Moreno to widen his investigation into alleged US flights transporting
terrorism suspects via Spain to the prison camp in Guantanamo, Cuba.
The prosecutors urged Moreno to question the author of a top secret
Foreign Ministry document which was published by the daily El Pais.
The 2002 document indicates that former prime minister Jose Maria
Aznar's conservative government gave the United States permission to
secretly transport Taliban and al-Qaeda prisoners from Afghanistan via
Spain to Guantanamo.
Did you find a keyboard?
I did, Thinly Veiled! Thanks for asking.
I ended up buying a new Yamaha 85S (electric piano). I went to Guitar Center with a musician friend, and the guy played several, and I just decided to go for it. The sound was rich, and it is EXACTLY what she needs.
I couldn't carry it in the house myself last night, so Christmas came early, but judging by the reaction, it was an outstanding decision!
Let me try that link again.
I need a two-month holiday from health insurance payments.
My thoughts exactly.
en haut mes amis
Aha! The recovering economist has fallen of the wagon. This definitely is a recession.
Why do people always forget that Balthazar is black?
Southern Beale
You're kidding, right?
en haut mes amis - doncjesuis
I'm hot, too, but it's because of the heat wrap on my shoulders.
Rmj, that's what our creche looks like after too much egg nog.
Maybe this, and not bankruptcy, is why Copia closed.
lots of people are making money.
I can't tell if you're kidding, but this isn't the impression I've been getting.

You are forgetting about the short sellers, the put buyers and the naked call sellers. They made out like bandits.
