Insanity. They should be forced to give it up as one of many conditions for bailing their asses out.

Proves they aren;t serious.

[gondramB]

Advertising that helps the company may still make sense.

The last part of the article was about Barack Obama putting his children into a private school instead of a public DC school. I guess he forgot about Jane Byrne moving into Cabrini Green to prove how safe it was when she was the mayor of Chicago. Or maybe Barack just doesn’t like white people as role models???

Truth is stranger than fiction, John. Right Guard Deodorant has leased NASCAR driver Stewart’s arm pits for its logo.

Good job as always....

re: “Citi Field”

If they want to name it “Sh@##y Field” they have my OK.

[robomatik]

you really might want to consider putting some sort of advertising banner on your site for extra cash. your satire is always ingenious, and hey, why not make a few bucks.

(p.s. you picture at the top of your page isn’t working for me)

John, a close friend of my introduced me to the catch phrase

Nature has a way of weeding out stupid people

I think I'm going to have to bastardize it and use

John Semmens posts have a way of exposing stupid people

Keep up the good work

I guess he forgot about Jane Byrne moving into Cabrini Green to prove how safe it was when she was the mayor of Chicago.

Jane Byrne moved in with about 100 cops. Of course it was safe.

I have noticed that with each passing day it becomes more difficult to differentiate between satire and serious reporting. If I didn't know your name, I'd have done a double-take on a couple of those news “reports”.As always, well done, Sir.

I haven’t even finished the whole article, but it’s ‘killa’.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Thanks, another good one.

This would be a gut buster, if only it weren’t true.

The worst of it all, though, is that despite the bailouts that we are on the hook for, they have done nothing, nor do they plan or are required, to do anything to preclude these problems from re-occurring in the future.

After all is said and done, it’ll just be business as usual...again.

“Putting your company’s name on a stadium built with tax-financing is the kind of ‘in-your-face’ image that says you’re the top dog in the hump,”

Who says Newt Gingrich is irrelevant? :)

[dynachrome]

“image that says you’re the top dog in the hump,”

Now there’s an image I’ll have to rinse from my brain! LOL

[pnut22]

Thanks for another smile, or is that smirk?

[Man50D]

Well done!

[bronxboy]

I do hope Citi is viable. Of course when they went to the hill and testified...oh wait they are bankers. They can have all the money they want-no strings. How silly of me to forget.
