I didn't realize they also wanted to drown the entire economy in the bathtub as well.

Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist, Bush small government no regulation assholes have succeeded in destruction beyond their wildest dreams.

War. Death. Impoverishment.

They'll be square dancing in the Bohemian Grove tonight.

1. Yep. Shocking, isn't it?

They are burning down the economy it order to loot what's left.

2. Republicans in public service is akin to a chamber orchestra of Neanderthals.

3. We must drown their entire ideology...

...and everything they stand for in the bathtub.

4. They didn't. It was simply a by-product

If you think they're dancing in the Grove tonight over this meltdown, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell you.

5. a by-product of unrestrained, humongous, GREED unfettered by morals of any kind.

6. yep. that's accurate. All I'm saying is the so-called "captains of industry"

didn't plan to collapse the U.S. economy and they aren't dancing in the streets about it. This profits them not one whit. I just talked to my mother in New Canaan, CT last night. She says there is real panic in Fairfield County.

8. I think they all knew that they were being "too clever by half"

People on the outside looking in have seen this coming for a long time. I find it hard to believe that people on the inside did not see it as well. I bet there are some really horrendous internal emails within these companies. I think they all just had a "if you can't beat them, join them" mentality. People never mean to milk the cow to death, but they do.

It's interesting that there hasn't been any internal whistle-blowers like that woman in Enron

[whistle]

7. The dancing will be around the mummified corpse of Ronald Reagan

...you can bet on that.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

9. They're just greedy idiots.

Suffering the same fate as all other greedy idiots in history.
