I work for a small business doing federal contracts, and the joke for the last 8 years has been "When are they going to re-define Halliburton as a small business?" Now we know.
as they used to say in africa:
vivre le morte!
vivre le guerre!
vivre le legion mercenaire!
come to think of it though, most of the folks i heard making that toast are long since dead.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some Wall Street companies might not resume paying New York City taxes for "a number of years" because they can offset future profits with the losses they are currently suffering, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Monday.
"I think it will be a number of years before they start paying taxes again," the mayor told a news conference. "Look at those losses. They can carry them forward for a number of years."
This should be rewritten as:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Some American Citizens might not resume paying Taxes for "a number of years" because they can offset future profits with the losses they are currently suffering...
"I think it will be a number of years before they start paying taxes again," Look at those losses. They can carry them forward for a number of years."

Most of the green zone security is being handled by...PERUVIANS! Bush has made it a point to round up rightwing goons and thugs from residual dictatorships across the planet. They make excellent mercenaries.
