    Clear but not funny.

      Ditto.

      Good morning.

      1. Almanian   15 years ago

        Good morning, Suki! Hadn't seen your posts in a while!

  2. MikeP   15 years ago

    Quite good.

    The main problem with it is that there aren't any congresspersons bright enough to have asked that question or, if bright enough, willing to hear the answer:

    "Because Congress paid us to go long."

    Levin was funnier at the real hearing.

    2. Almanian   15 years ago

      Racist

    3. Brian R   15 years ago

      Not just that, but he's only got one eye!

      I think he's a pirate, tanned by the Caribbean sun.

    I, for one, like it! It's not a "funny", but it definitely has its point. Of course, if they weren't approving loans like mad they'd have been banged around for not lending their money out, just like right now.

    Goldman took our money (via AIG) to pay out bigger bonuses...fuck goldman

    1. Astropud   15 years ago

      Goldman didn't take our money. 'We' gave it to them and they just didn't argue.

  12. Graphite   15 years ago

    The Fannie Mae guy should have been Franklin Raines, not some random white dude. The cartoon is clearly racist.

    Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough. http://www.sellnikeairmax.com/ LIJ
