This IS awful! Quick! Raise taxes so we can stop this evil, capitalist growth!!

I saw a metrosexual corporate lawyer standing on a street corner this morning holding a sign that said, “Will sue for double mocha, half decaf, soy latte.”

Exciting as hell... But I think the time to get off the roller-coaster is right now.

Shhhh!!! Democrats haven't grasped the concept of sarcasm yet.

According to Democrats, when the stock market soared when Bill Clinton was president, it was a response to Clinton’s tax and economic policies.

But with the stock market doing so well now, they can’t give any credit to Bush’s tax and economic policies. Maybe blame can be given to Bush for tax cuts, which the wealthy invested in stocks and pushed the market to unrealistic highs????

You should have heard the RAT guy on Neil awhile ago...I just had to laugh! He said that this proves the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer...AHHHHHH smell of desperation! Delay said that IF the pubs are smart they immediately capitalize on the economy... QUICKO!

President Bush gets no credit for cracking down on corrupt CEOs and accounting firms after they had gotten away with murder under Clinton.

Bush set a standard that has given investors confidence. It was his Justice Dept. that went after Enron and Worldcom and all the rest.

Amazing how little coverage this gets on the MSM. But a few months ago when there were some minor downturns, it was wallpapered.

Perhaps the surge in the stock market isn't all due to the tax and economic policies of Bush, but rather the profits of war related industries fueled by the untold billions (borrowed money) the government is feeding into the economy each month?

Now it is time to worry.

C'mon, this is just more evidence of the "Two Americas" (per John Edwards, et. al.)!!! The "rich" are getting richer at the expense of the "poor working class."

Duh!

/sarc (leave nothing to chance)

[brothers4thID]

This war is just ruining our economy!

/sarcasm off
/barf bag still on

[I see my hands]

The military costs money in peace time too.

I’ll get a sign that says “Will counter-sue for defamation of male character.”

“You know, in this business, you don’t have any control over what the press says and how they portray things. And that’s their prerogative. But I think anybody who looks at it objectively has trouble making the case that somehow this is a bad economy.” ~ Vice President Dick Cheney

Sic ‘em, Dick! :)

Don’t rain on their parade :-) Besides where else can the poor foreign slobs stuck with trillions of depreciating dollars find a return? It’s better to own the companies than the soon to be worthless paper dollar. Not to mention the all the 401Ks that have nowhere else to put our money month after month and the Federal Reserves “plunge protection” team going into action when needed. I seriously doubt this rise was fueld by the retail investor. I seriously doubt that at all.
