    Read my lips - no new parallaxes! Although I guess it depends on how you look at it....

  2. Red Rocks Rockin   13 years ago

    Nothing really new--FDR slammed Hoover for doing the same things that FDR escalated once he took office.

    BOOOOOOOOOSH (the Elder)!

    shocking news today. Boner caves on taxes. What a shocker.

    1. Gladstone   13 years ago

      I thought more than a few commenters are willing to trade higher taxes for spending cuts? However that assumes that any "cuts" are going to happen.

    Republicans are the worse sort of monsters!!

    They are behaving like the 1992 head of the Democrat party.
