Which prints money backed by air and then LOANS it to the US government -- you DO know that the Federal Reserve is as much a part of the Federal Government as Federal Express, don't you?

How did the Fed talk their way into this sweetheart deal: they print money backed by NOTHING and loan it to the US, 'creating' money.

Since 1913, the US dollar has fallen in value by 95% -- somehow printing fiat currency backed by nothing doesn't do the currency much good.

Strong government? Yeah, we could use one.

Some kind of handicapping so that a Holocaust movie doesn't mean Instant Oscar. If Wall-E had a Holocaust survivor it may have won as Best Picture For Which We Didn't Have To Pay Actors with a special mention for Chaplin Did It Better, And Way Long Ago.

Every movie should include at least two or three references to the Holocaust. Truly. Congratulations, Kate.

They've both saddled YOU AND ME with colossal debt. And neither can fix the problem -- the monetary system is broken badly, there are more debts than money to repay them. The dollar is worth 5% of what it was when the Federal Reserve came into being.

You can run a scam only so long. The Fed printing more and more worthless dollars is not helping.

What comes after generations of mismanagement?

I'm not reading it in this article -- what did he do besides have the outgoing Governor appoint him?

Is he Not One Of The Right People? Or just not one of the white people? The Chicago editorial was just whining.

What has he done wrong? Do professional politicians just not like him?

Odd how the Blago thing blew up the day after he suspended business with Bank of America unless they saw fit to continue to extend credit to that door manufacturer that had its workforce on strike. Odd how very litle of that factoid was reported on.

How do we get rid of Pelosi? She's a major Bush43 war crimes accomplice.

She didn't have to accept the Brittle Old Lunatic's invitation to be the Vice-Presidential candidate. But she did. And with that she donned her mantle of Underqualified, Overambitious Shallow Soccer Mom Twit.

It's like the birth of a new line of polyester jumpsuits or the creation of an ugly, sluggish American car which no one will buy. Pressing bravely on in the spirit of 1977 Elvis Presley. Disengaged, clueless, but spirited. Sarah Palin is cut from such a rich vein of naturally-occurring American cheese that it's difficult to adequately compare her to anything which has come before. Kind of a younger, more stupid Bob Dole. Plant-the-corn flyover state vapidity, but with pep.

Get out. We raped the children and stole the silverware and set the dog on fire. So let's GET OUT OF IRAQ ALREADY.

We should never have invaded, we should never had occupied Iraq, we should not have deposed Hussein nor had him hanged following a kangaroo court trial in a war zone. We remain as wrong as ever. I'm glad that we have enough competent soldiers to squeeze a book out of.

Now let's bring them home.

The (democratic) state leadership saw no ceiling on property taxes -- and they never met a pet project they didn't like well enough to fully fund. Property taxes were a wonderful credit line as far as they were concerned.

What became of our embarrassing state lottery? You remember, the one that was going to pay for every educational expense we could possibly ever dream of? Where did that money go?

What of Gray Davis? Can his name be spoken once again, now that our absurd "Governator" finds himself in the same spot as Governor Davis did?

Advice to the Golden State: tell the feds to fuck off and legalize dope. I'd happily pay $$$ for a license to smoke dope and not be a criminal. Go one step beyond and secede from the Union. We'd make a nice nation on our own, or maybe unified with Oregon and Washington State.

That the "toxic waste" paper out there backed by sweet fuck all is an amount larger than the entire annual economy of the entire world put together.

We need to hang some CEOs and bankers and declare a "jubilee" on the invisible, unpayable debt. Hang as in hang by the neck until dead in a public place. "Hi, I'm a banker and my stupid bets destroyed the planet's economy. Can I have my bonus?"

From the NTSB informing him of precisely what he saw? And a nice reminder to talk to THEM only and NOT to the media?

Do you think that Bombardier can't manufacture a plane that operates in cold weather?

Beverly Eckert was not interested in being bought off by Judge Hellerstein. She wanted a trial of the Israeli-owned "security" company who failed to stop the alleged 9/11 perps @ the two northeastern airports that day -- many Israelis and Americans want the discovery phase of that trial to never, ever take place.

If they'd kill 3000 people to kick off a new millennium of hatred towards Islamic people, what's another 50 along the way?

ICE ON THE WINGS, DUDE!!! Of course, the plane BEFORE this one and the plane AFTER this one didn't have icing problems...

For some time. The last voice exchange @ 2300 feet mentioned nothing about severe icing. It's as it the entire electrical system quit all at once.

Then we have the alleged news media, pushing the meme that ICE did it, yeah ICE, that was it, ICE.

Remember the US military transport plane, the one carrying black US troops who had refused to fire on English-speaking blacks in Grenada? The plane crashed due to "ice" but smoke was found in the lungs of the dead on board, meaning it was a fire or bomb that brought the plane down.

Count the small plane crashes that may be seen as being politically expedient.

ICE, dude, it was ICE! ICE did it! ICE!!!
