Being cute doesn’t make her automatically guilty either.

I’m confused. Are you saying that looking like Mayim is a good thing?

Blossom your fave playmate or porn star? She’s marginal looking at best in some Brooke shields thick eyebrow kind of way.

Scott Peterson was a good looking murderer, and if I recall correctly Ted Bundy was pretty decent looking also. Other than the sickos who get off on communicating with guys on death row, you really didn’t hear women defending them as innocent based on their hotness.

All I saw was an enormous proboscis, with tiny eyes on either side.

But they defended Bill Clinton and thought he was attractive. Never understood that.

No we haven’t seen that - when does it air? It’s a Ken Burns production, right?

Well there’s a big diff between perjury/abuse of ofc and murder. And there’s no accounting for taste of lib women, they actually think that emaciated Marxist Kenyan is hot. Can you imagine?

Yeah, but you can't possibly claim U of W isn't a hotbed of liberal politics, therefore the students are union loving socialists

Xsteen is even more harsh than I. She just saw the Knox coverage and said why do they call her FOXY, she’s not remotely, and is plain Jane at best.

What is there not to believe in the poem? Or are you one of those people who happily accepted a loan with virtually no down payment, or happily accepted big dividends and increased profits to a 401k/IRA/Retirement plan and didn’t care how the Wall Street guys did it, however, once they weren’t producing suddenly decided they were criminals?

What is the point of billions spent on defense if American citizens can be held at the whims of strange potentates?

I like to think, as a foreign traveler, that if I got into some sort of legal trouble while abroad, I would be repatriated.

Whether I did it or not.

Read this for your answer:

Yes, we have to close banks if we do that. We have to admit the truth. We have to admit that pension funds who claimed 8% "growth" over long periods of time were pushing a pyramid scheme that was impossible to maintain and thus those "benefits" will not be paid.

We have to admit that the claims made to retirees and soon-to-be-retirees as a sop to allow our "2% inflation" were also lies, and that we thus must stop institutionalized inflation.

We have to admit that trees to do not grow to the sky and that the fundamental nature of exponents is that as long as debt grows faster than the economy you are in fact engaged in a pyramid scheme that must, mathematically, fail.

And we must demand that those so-called "economists", central bankers and media personalities who pushed this meme for the last 30 years come on-air, in person, and apologize for running this scam and the damage it has done to our economy.

Everyone pines about "moral hazard" but there is no moral hazard involved in truly fixing this. Moral Hazard only comes when you protect some of the people who should get screwed due to their own bad behavior.

Protect nobody except one group: Bank depositors under the FDIC limit.

Everyone else? You made your bets, you loaned money to people when you bought their bonds, and you should face the consequences.

Our nation's refusal to allow the market to work and clear bad debts dates to the 1980s bailout of Continental Illinois. And yes, it was a bailout - they got broken up and taken over, but their bondholders were protected.

It is that singular event that marked the sea change. The belief was instilled in the institutional and individual investor that if you loaned capital to a bank and they did something stupid -- or even criminal -- with the money, you would not lose anything.

The solution to this problem is simple, it is elegant, and it is mightily-resisted by the monied class, because they believe they're entitled to be protected from their own stupidity.

This is the cause of literally everything what has gone wrong.

More Validation For Ticker Guy
