but 20 billion dollars for a steak from Citigroup is a bit much. Talk about government waste, who needs a steak that big? Not only that, but I don't think I've ever heard of Citigroup as a steak company either, it would probably taste like money, or maybe plastic.

1. You don't understand. You don't get to eat the steak.
I think you only get to hold it. That makes you a steakholder. I'm not sure why people want to do that.

3. What's this business about holding a steak?
Can't they just put it on a plate? And why can't they eat it? I suppose it may be too big for one person, but you could have a party.

2. Not to mention presidential erections
the eagle rights amendment, sex and violins on television, saving Soveiet jewelry, and my personal favorite, endangered feces.

Never mind.

4. So Obama won the Presidential erection?
Well, I always thought McCain was unerectable anyway.

6. "Never mind"
Mustang ranch..very profound


Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.

They failed and it closed.

Now, we are trusting the economy of our country and 700 Billion Dollars to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze.

Now if that don't make you nervous, what does?
