Bar Talk

Stuff Overheard at the O Club


 Deacon Blues  From Suze Ormon:
"Former President George W. Bush is personally responsible for the current financial crisis and should give every penny of his family fortune to the American people as a result."

badanov  Cool: So we can bill Clinton for the Dot Bomb fiasco and for Enron.

Thing From Snowy Mountain  Can we bill the democratic party for the consequences of exporting the US oil patch to Saudi Arabia?



Sherry  Had a nagging thread of thought in the back of my mind, about this 90% tax.

Sure enough -- a quick google, and this popped up at the top:

Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor," most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution."

This same professor was on Jay Leno while "his" Congress was voting on what many constitutional law professors have stated, is un-constitutional.

Only those at the receiving end of this law (the bonus folks) can take this to court, to get a judgment on its validity. And already, some of these folks have moved their families, have police protection, etc...

From the Counterterrism Blog today, Mafia, Mexican cartels, and terrorists rely heavily on three of their most important tradecraft tools to maintain power: corruption, intimidation and violence — the ‘hallmarks of organized crime.’ If they can’t corrupt you, they will intimidate you; if that doesn’t work, they will turn to brutal violence.

Would you sue if you were one of the bonus receivers?



Mike N.  At what point is everyone going to admit that the financial crisis has moved beyond AIG and is now tied up with investor anxiety over the pending remake of the economy in President Zero's image?

Not until his financial backers and the press say "Son, I am disappoint!"


Psst - that may be rat now! [Anger and Panic At Goldman Sachs Over 90% Tax ]

If I were a bonus recipient, I'd liquidate, and head for Belize. Then I'd buy a full page in IBD, which read only, "AMF". For the uninitiated, "Adios Madre Fucquar".

America has entered the Post-Constitutional phase. The Congress is not bound by it, and refuse to respect it.

I am absolutely convinced the goal of the radical Democrats (Reed/Pelosi/Obama) is to cause the collapse of this Constitutional Republic and in the resulting chaos, transform it into a socialist state.

That's already a fait accompli

I would like to take this moment to remind everybody we are only 2 months into this farce of a presidency.


Look what this MOFO has done in only 60 days....
