Original article: No recount necessary

Hilarious! It's so bad that it's good.

Her campaign would make a great comedy. It wouldn't surprise me if she won (she's never lost 2-0).

If Nelson is like most democrats these days he will lay down while Harris swift-boats him and eats his balls for lunch.

Barnum & Bailey is alive and well

Just because modern tech keeps you alive does not mean you should be. Who the hell wants to wake up as a breathing torso? Ya know, .. The Nazis did this but they didn't have the titillation of the internet. To be revived from catastrophic injuries is to be a lab rat. SHAME!

Dog Hair

The reason the dog hair had disapeared: She grabbed the wrong suitcase! That was my first thought and yes, I know, unless she wrote the letter prior to unpacking it wouldn't make sense.

Kick him to the curb

If he's burning the insulation off copper wire to get money, he's a loser. That's what drug addicts do.

Bad breath is one thing

If your mom's breath can knock a buzzard off a sh*t wagon from 100 yards, it's probably a medical problem. Gastrointestinal or dental related. It's a symptom of something else.

A depresion? Pleeze

• The last time we had a depression people were standing in soup lines. It wasn't bad, it was bad bad. Has any one been to a Costco or a there local mall lately? You can't find a parking spot. Granted, it was a different time then. This country had plenty of room for growth. Whole cities and economies where created. Think Hoover Dam. After WW2 the modern day suburb with track housing was created for returning soldiers. Wah lah... The modern day middle-class was created. What we face now is a completely different type of economic problem. When I was kid in the 70's there were old guys that gambled. You could go down to the track and play the ponies. You could gamble on other seedy day to day bets. The smart ones read the stock quotes in the daily newspaper. Information was in short supply. It wasn't for everybody. It could and was done. It was a smart thing to do back then. For the sake of argument; if you bought a house for 12k in '65, it could be worth any ware from 200k to mil today depending on location. My point; those days are over. The house you bought for 300K is not going to be worth 3 mil when you are old. That type of growth is impossible. This country cannot have sustained growth of 6-7% year after year if we do not add value. Gambling on the stock market does not add value. Oh... have I told you? Even your 13 year old nephew is in market with borrowed money against future earnings on investment. I believe the market has corrected itself to reflect the REAL wealth that is tangible today. It's where it should be. My advice to all the arm-chair economists, Read about AP Gianini. 'Biography of a Bank'.

well said CeliaInSF but...

• Here's the thing... Textbook-wise and all other definitions I agree with. Let's throw academia and all we know to the side for a minute. Its partisan politics and ideology that's running things. I'd love to get into it with you but its Friday night and I'm going to go out and do my part to stimulate my local economy. My last word on this thread... It took Clinton 8 years to clean house and get the books straight after the get-rich-quick republicans looted the system. They've done it again. Understand they have run away from the seen of the crime. This time it's going to take 16 years of democratic leadership to fix it. Understand they do this on purpose. They count their money while simultaneously blaming the problem on the new guy...

One question Mr. Reich

We have heard a lot of "too big to fail" lately. If I'm not mistakin', I thought anti-trust laws were on the books; Standard Oil, Rail Roads, Rockefeller, JP Morgan, AT&T, Microsoft, etc. The United States of America was not born yesterday. Why are we being held hostage by these entities. I thought laws were writtin a long time ago to prevent what we see this very day.

With all do respect, please educate us Mr. Reich
