It's an InterNet thing. The Mobs are big in it. At least they aren't wasting their Pretty Women with Bombs. And who better to distract our attention from Serious Matters like gettin' jr. re-elected than Women Distractions/Distractors.

You know, it's just possible that poohbah and sinkspur are women. Ever think of that?

(sorry, mancini :-(, horrible comparison.)

[mancini]

Er, sounds like you're on to me. Well, it was a good gig while it lasted. I kept you busy with repartee.
Time to report back to Henry K. for a new identity and assignment.

I'll let you in on a little secret about poohbah and sinskspur--they're really hermaphrodites!

[rdavis84]

There, see, the Truth has set you free! Congrats!

Now, if we can just get those wascally poohbah and sinkspur to fess up!

BTW, you whispered what you know about them too softly. Put it in #20 size font like this ---- Poohbah, sinkspur ........ 'cause my glasses are dirty and the flyspecks get in the way................

He made a comment predicting the market would drop to 3,000" at a time when the Dow Jones stock index was at 9,600, Breen said. "Perhaps Mr. Elgindy had pre-knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks

Boy, that’s a HUGE leap in deduction there.

Using that criteria, there was a few people around here who had “prior knowledge” about 911.

Funny you should mention that. The guy committed suicide by hanging in July 2015.

snip...The investigation that led to charges against five people, including a current and a former FBI agent, with using confidential government data to manipulate stock prices was an almost accidental result of probes into the Sept. 11 terror attacks and to some degree convicted spy Robert Hanssen.

Authorities began looking into the activities of Anthony Elgindy, an Egyptian-born investor who was among those indicted, as part of the wide-ranging net cast by investigators looking for potential financiers of Muslim groups with links to terrorism last fall, according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation official. .../snip

Weird article to mention that and then not follow up on why the Elgindy case may have had anything to do with the Robert Hanssen case.
