7. No Bob, wasn't involved in that one
I was more thinking about how he pushed Brooksly Born around when she identified the bomb that was going to go off 11 years ago.

8. After watching Front Line
On the Brooklsy Born attempt to regulate derivatives and Mr. Rubin's disgusting tactics to stop it. F-words are the only applicable thing to use.

Just a glance I caught of a headline but it alarmed me greatly.

10. I have yet to hear of an appointment
If there is one, there would be 30 OPs of gnashing teeth, and only 20 of them would be written by me.

11. Thanks. I hadn't had a chance to get back and see what the headline was about but it was worrying me
Lol! Only 20 of them would be written by you! Not sure I'd be posting. Damned hard to type with my head in the oven.

12. I think by post 19
my rambling would be intelligible and not make George Carlin blush with language.

15. If he publicly fired Larry
3 point kick in the polls. 10 point kick in the DU approval poll.

19. Yes! That is a great suggestion.
She's one person who should have more authority and power. I trust her.

21. It will be better if they leave. But if the DLC is still calling the shots,
it won't matter enough. At some point, the Party is going to have to lose them or us, it's just that simple.

22. Just rumors? (sigh)
Is there any reason to hope that they are true?

23. Maybe Obama is getting nervous and has been reading the mail.
After all, without the votes, the cash is worthless in re-election bids. Maybe he has been looking at his poll numbers and listening to what people really are saying... Outside of the bubble.

Oh God, we can only hope.
SHIT!
I said "hope."
