    Brilliant.

  2. Lo   17 years ago

    Hah!

    My anarchist mom wanted to make a "where's my bailout?" T-shirt, but decided against it when her friends seemed too honestly sympathetic with a "bailouts for everybody" plan.

  3. Paul   17 years ago

    I know exactly where my bailout is.

    It's tied up in the American Structured Securities Rescue Act for a Prudent Economy.

  4. Nick   17 years ago

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

  5. Dello   17 years ago

    If I don't get a bailout, I can't feed my kids. Won't you please think of the children?

    For a second there I thought some really awesome congressman might have came up with an awesome amendment to that bill.

    For a second there I thought some really awesome congressman might have came up with an awesome amendment to that bill.

    I bet Barney Frank's on it right now..

    Damn. When I ran out of money to finish fixing my fixer-upper that I got with a no-doc mortgage, I sold it. Managed to pay off my mortgages but was left with some hefty credit card debt, which I took a second job to pay off.

    That was two years ago. I have $3000 left of that credit card debt. Aren't I at least deserving of a teeny weeny bailout? Or even if I'm not deserving, won't someone help me anyway?

  9. Isaac Bartram   17 years ago

    Aren't I at least deserving of a teeny weeny bailout?

    Hell no dude, you're small enough to fail.

  10. Anon   17 years ago

    I'm telling you I worked my ass off on that house. It was in such bad shape, rehabbing it was a public works project.

  11. LouAnn   17 years ago

    Read reason's Q&A: Whom Will You Vote For? Many Libertarians opted to spank the Republicans good.

    You'll enjoy this then ...

    Qaeda wants Republicans, Bush "humiliated": Web video
    Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:15pm EDT

    DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated," without endorsing a party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to an Internet video posting.

    "O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him," Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet. ...

  12. sage   17 years ago

    Well, there you have it.

    Osama is NOT endorsing Obama for president.

    *wink, nod*

  13. mk   17 years ago

    An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated,"

    It's an old political trick. If anything positive happens anywhere in the world, take credit for it. If anyone gets spanked over something, position yourself in such a way that it looks like you had a hand in their admonishment.

    IT looks like Al Qaeda are picking up tricks from Lyndon LaRouche

    So sheer stupidity is to blame for this current crisis? I don't know.. This video makes you guys sound like dicks. It is funny, though.
