Babe in the woods who knows nothing of the world.
They’re a lot more polite than I would have been. I’d have written, “We never wanted your damned money in the first place, but you insisted. If you don’t like how we run our business, we’d be absolutely delighted to give it back if it means you’ll butt out of our affairs. Just tell us where to send the check.”
Is there anything else Barney Frank needs?
Yeah, AIDS!
>>>I laughed so hard I nearly had a wreck.
I was so amused when I heard it on the radio I wasn’t paying attention to my speed and got a traffic ticket
The media totally ignored the fact that this is a charity event. The grandstanders just want to demoralize a thoroughly legitimate business. Charity events go on all the time. I'm sure Bawney and friends attend thousands of them. I would love to hear from the charities that are helped by this tournament.
Surely this whole thing isn't over a measly one and a half million!
Did the bankers also ask for a refund of all the campaign contributions they gave these self righteous political hacks?
What’s with the backhanded slap at Earth Wind and Fire?
How can Merrill Lynch say that borrowing the money was a mistake when they wont be paying it back for 2-3 years? I think what they are saying means they really needed the money when they borrowed it. What they mean is it wasnt really a mistake because ML really cant make a go of its business without the money.
It looks like these TARPers are grabbing cheap headlines by claiming they either didnt need the money, dont want it, or are planning to give it back when they really plan to hold onto the money for years. What am I missing?
