12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."

What do you think Larry would say?

I think he would approve. He may have some other helpful pointers as well.

[terilyn]

You must send a personally addressed notification to each and every member of FR. Certified mail preferably.

Making a footnote in the annual report that is, by law, mailed to each and every shareholder, isn't sufficient.

If you fail to abide by this your impeachment will be called for on Larry King (barely) Alive.

I'm sure, if you check with Larry, (either one), he would concur.

[Iwo Jima]

Well, Dick Cheney said don't book it. Something about having to take into account how credible the accounts receivables are.

[Clara Lou]

press release & the graph to Steyn
I hope so. Steyn could use them to shred Larry.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

I was wondering how it is handled if one post gets multiple postings by accident. You know how that happens sometimes. Is there a per post payment for each, regardless?

[deport]

I'd like to book some of the income as soon as I post. Do you see a problem with this? What do you think Larry would say?

Just be sure and make the proper notifications if you change 'accounting standards'......

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Hmmmmmm. Dick or Larry? This is a toughie.

[Iwo Jima]

Oh, FreeRepublic's not paying me. LARRY'S paying me. He thinks that any publicity is good publicity, just so his name gets spelled right.

[Iwo Jima]

Now, wait a minute. I can't be held responsible for notifying everyone on JW's mailing list. I'd go broke!

[terilyn]

I would be happy to email it to Mark Steyn, but I've just been looking and cannot seem to find an email address for him.

I have it saved already in my files.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

I'm not sure, but I thought I heard Larry promised a bonus if you post a picture of him.

RBA, you little devil. You're getting bonuses, aren't you?

[Iwo Jima]

There are no "accidents." A post is a post. If something is worth saying once, it's certainly worth saying twice.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Can't say.

[deport]

Now, wait a minute. I can't be held responsible for notifying everyone on JW's mailing list.

Heck he'd never give it to you..... remember he told the donors not worry about the IRS.... "over my dead body"

[terilyn]

Oh I understood that. I just thought that since you were being paid to post here, by Larry, that the other posters here should be duly notified.

Full disclosure and all that. You know, the stuff that Larry's fighting when it pertains to him.

[A Citizen Reporter]

For heavens sake, whatever you do, DO NOT put the disclosure in the footnotes. That might allow Newsweek to claim that:

few people outside the company seem to have picked up on the wording change.

[Iwo Jima]

You get a super-sized bonus for posting a picture of Larry in his Matlock suit. He REALLY likes that!

[Iwo Jima]

Oh, O.K., I get your point. So here goes:LISTEN UP YOU FREEPERS I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE....

[Miss Marple]

Just for you, the THEME song!

Who is the tall, dark stranger there? Maverick is the name.
Ridin’ the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion. Gamblin’ is his game.

Smooth as the handle on a gun. Maverick is the name.
Wild as the wind in Oregon,
Blowin’ up a canyon, easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell. Fare thee well, Annabel.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.
Natchez to New Orleans. Livin' on jacks and queens
Maverick is a legend of the west.

That was wonderful, Miss M. Thank you very much.
