I remembered that Archie Comics are to this day amongst the best-selling comics in the world - they never stopped selling Dollar Digests on supermarket racks.
Both DC and Marvel are seriously missing a trick not getting some of that space for themselves - so there are what? 150 years worth of Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man back issues they cant get on the racks for a $1.00 digest issue?

Sen. Ensign admits parents gave money to mistress and family

Careful, we asked this all during the Bush years -- there was never a low they couldn't undermine with a new low....
Why The Chinese Laughed At Geithner
By Paul Craig Roberts
If a person lives long enough, he can watch everyone forget everything they learned.
Everyone includes Federal Reserve Chairmen, economists, Bank of America "strategists," and even Bloomberg.com.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke thinks he can hold down US long-term interest rates by purchasing mortgage bonds and US Treasuries. Sixty years ago the Federal Reserve understood that this was an impossible feat. After an acrimonious public dispute with the US Treasury, in 1951 the Federal Reserve forced an "Accord" on the government that eliminated the Fed’s obligation to monetize Treasury debt in order to hold down long term interest rates.
President Truman and Treasury Secretary John Snyder wanted to protect World War II bond purchasers by preventing any rise in interest rates, which would mean a decline in the price of the bonds.
The Fed understood that monetizing the debt to hold down interest rates meant loss of control over the money supply. The policy of suppressing interest rates could only work until the financial markets anticipated rising inflation and bid down the bond prices. If the Fed responded by buying more Treasuries, the money supply and inflation would rise faster.
Since Fed Chairman Bernanke announced his plan to purchase $1 trillion in mortgage and Treasury bonds in order to help the housing market with low interest rates, interest rates have risen. When will the Fed remember that printing money does not lower long-term interest rates?
According to Bloomberg (June 3), Bank of America strategists are recommending that investors buy Fannie Mae bonds because the rise in interest rates means the Fed will ramp up its purchases in order to prevent rising interest rates from adversely impacting the struggling housing market. When will financial gurus remember that printing money does not lower interest rates?
Treasury Secretary Geithner is another economic incompetent. He told China that he stood for a "strong dollar," but that China should let its currency appreciate relative to the dollar, which, of course, would mean a weaker dollar. He simultaneously told China that their investments in US Treasury bonds were safe.
Nope. Couldn't get any more Republican, either.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha
Careful, we asked this all during the Bush years -- there was never a low they couldn't undermine with a new low....
Gummo
Word.
ok that was too easy:
The doctrine of de minimis non curat lex, or “the law doesn’t concern
itself with trifles,” is a venerable maxim that is part of the established background of legal principles against which all enactments are adopted.

Funny, it's usually the big White Collar things people get away with. Like the banksters.

Why The Chinese Laughed At Geithner...
It apparently did not dawn on the US Treasury Secretary that if Chinese money is rising in value relative to the US dollar, the value of Chinese investments in dollar-denominated US Treasury bonds is falling.
Congressional Democrats are proving themselves to be as stupid as the Republicans. According to the Associated Press, the Democrats have reached agreement to appropriate another $100 billion to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through the end of the year.

The party elites thought Palin would make a great figurehead, being good-looking, enough of a crook to play ball with them, and enough of a fundie to appeal to the ignorant base. They apparently overlooked the fact that she had no knowledge or skills whatsoever commensurate with the office for which she was being promoted, a fact that they can't possibly hide from the bulk of the electorate. Now, however, the 28%er ignorant base is in totally love with her, and they have a real problem on their hands. It couldn't happen to a nicer set of party bosses.

Gomer sez: SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
'WASHINGTON (AP) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner say the enormous scale of the financial derivatives market helped to cripple the U.S. economy and that greater oversight is needed to make sure it does not happen again.
Geithner is testifying before the House Financial Services Committee and House Agricultural Committee.
In his opening remarks, he said establishing a comprehensive framework to monitor the complex financial instruments is "crucial to laying the foundation for a safer, more stable financial system."
Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on something else, such as a mortgage-backed security or a commodity like oil.' snip

If granny is in a home with doced dementia then she more than likely has had a guardianship or power of attorney given to a family member. Said family member should hold all the strings until death.

Posted on Friday, July 10, 2009 11:29:13 AM by Gopher Broke
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.
Did you dream up this fucking lie all by yourself, Gopher?

UBC Researchers Explain Why Females Are Better Off Choosing Unattractive Mates
Many groups of animals, including humans, have an “XY” sex-determining system through which the father determines the sex of the offspring -- the offspring is female if it receives an X chromosome from the father, and vice versa. For these species, the chromosome on which flashy displays is coded will determine whether the sons or the daughters inherit the physical trait.
“If the genes coding for flashy displays are on the X, the genes from a sexy dad only appear in his daughters, making them visible to predators without improving their reproductive success, and thus favouring the evolution of preferences for dull males."
“Females in XY species -- including humans -- should therefore prefer bland males, because they produce more fit daughters.”

Remember when the Goodyear blimp cruised NFL games and shot from above?
plantsman, mad google skillz
Didn't they knock that off shortly after the book Black Sunday came out?
Or did I just invent a new Urban Legend...
I don't watch much football, and we don't have an NFL team in Portland, so I see few blimps.

Void for public policy. and illegal act is not valid consideration. in this case the illegal act would be voting a certain way based on a bribe.
When we see the blimp over the city, it means that stupid Fox is covering the baseball game. It's a bad omen.
You can't enforce a contract that mandates an illegal act.

It's only a matter of when until Coburn or one of the other cultists in the Family go Jim Jones in the house.
I am negotiating a large defense contract. Paties are my corp, the government, and a third party supplier. At the last minute another bidder appears.

The figure was arrived at due to gift tax exemption limits, I'm afraid.
Ensign: "Mommy, this girl won't leave me alone. Can I have $100G's to make her move away?"
I can't take hot tubs as hot as many people, I start feeling "cooked."

"Hurry, hurry, my caucus, before they return..... come up and drink the kool aid.... hurry my children, it's for the bast...."
Idle thought: If Obama wants to succeed, he had best come home and starting busting heads.
But maybe he does not want to succeed because that would be fucking uncivil and not bipartisan at all. . . .

Moe, I think that NetZero House would be perfect for a Ceeb segment.
The Metrodome used to have a mini zeppelin that would fly around dropping t-shirts on the drunken, unwashed masses. Good times.
