Where is Benjamin Franklin when you need him?
I just peeked at your profile page. I actually followed one of the blue balls down to the bottom. Amazing.
ping.
I actually had a friend who ran for Senator in Montana. He lost, but that was one of his lines. He taught me trading. I went to about eight of his seminars. Getting up at 3:00 a.m. was no fun after partying until 2:00 a.m. LOL!
This was before I met Cyber.
we have to be so careful these days regarding sensitivity

It’s not like in the days when I worked my 12 to 14 hour days. We used to make fake files for my judge. Sometimes we had names like Joanne Smith with panties inside the file. Another one was my clerk would make fake names on files, such as Phuc Yu.
Can’t do it any longer. Probably be put in jail now. Of course my 9mm was kept in the Sheriff’s office. Drop it off in the morning, pick it up when I left. Always had mace when you had to have a license to carry it. Still have the licensure.
Also loved combat shooting and trap and skeet.
We’re up a point!!!

Nonsense! It sounded just like him!
Right. That's why I didn't write what I was thinking which wasn't malicious, just more one of pragmitism. I guess that's what this thread is about, isn't it? Duh.
Start from scratch. A good starting point from Steve Forbes:

Interesting.
MSNBC changed the wording of the poll.
Check it out yourself.
They took out “Nothing. Let the markets sort it out” completely.
It’s gone.
In classic “Animal Farm” tradition, they’ve replaced it with answers that all support a bailout, albeit with some tweaks.
Truth is stranger than fiction nowadays.
I left a comment about that at the poll site. Wonder if they will publish it?
