"Sparky McBackfire"...LOLOL...classic!
It used to be the name of the electric chair in Huntsville, Texas.
it was Ole Sparky.
Which I think is Todd's pet name for Sarah's vagina.
The United States will be hit with additional job cuts, foreclosures and economic "pain" this year, President Barack Obama said on Tuesday.
You left out Teablogging.net! Cheers!

That Sarah Palin, I'll tell you what, she's a gaffe a minute.
she really is the stupidest bitch on the planet.
She just keeps diggin' and diggin' and diggin'.
If she does decide to run for president this sort of stuff will be used against her perfectly.
... the standard lesson was that you could tell a lot about a person by who they kept company with. That is, if you kept company with the slackers and troublemakers, well ...
So keeping company with a racist thug tells us a lot about Sparky.
To me, this just confirms what I thought of her during the campaign. You don't say the things she did about President Obama unless it comes natural to you. I don't know if the McCain people picked her for their mouthpiece, but she was the anti-Obama champion for a certain group of ugly Repubicans.
Thank goodness they freakin' lost. Had they won, I really do think my husband and I would be looking for a new country to call home.
The absence of cat voices in that piece is telling.
That Gathering Storm video is a perfect answer to the original one.
The neo-con repug leftovers are so lame they don't even realize how much ammunition they provide for us 'over here.' I'm hoping for many more re-takes of the gathering storm original - I need a few more belly-laughs!
over Goldman Sachs's latest raid on the US Treasury, after booking billions in taxpayer-funded payouts funneled through AIG producing a miraculous 1.6 Billion profit announcement yesterday.
(Yes such magic tricks are understandably hard to follow for the average person.)
Oh wait they changed their mind today!
US banking giant Goldman Sachs said Tuesday it lost 1.02 billion dollars in December 2008, according to a report filed with authorities a day after it reported profit of 1.8 billion dollars for the first quarter.
how bout we watch that . . . .
I heard something similar about Wells Fargo. After posting a 3 billion dollar profit, they said they would need another $50 Billion in capital.

I know where they can come up with 3 billion of it.
Yeah they are doing great,SCI funneral service was one of W's biggest contributors
Ya think it's easy to post a loss after receiving BILLIONS.
These guys are masters of the universe!!
Goldman posts profit!!!!!! Markets Celebrate . . . consumers "react" and rush stores across America! Recession Declared Over!!
A 2.62 billion dollar accounting error?
Unless the accountants at that company are fired, you know there is some BS going on behind the scenes.
IS an accounting Error!!!

To bad for us though
I'm reading an excellent book. It's "House of Cards" by William D. Cohan. The author was on Jon Stewart's show recently. According to the author, things didn't happen on Wall Street exactly as we've been told.
i've been waiting for that book to arrive at borders. i read a short review on it and i believe the author was on NPR. it seems the book would be revealing.
I've only read an excerpt from it but it was amazing, and not surprising.
Too many people are still referring to this downturn as a "cycle" or a "perfect storm" of events.
House of Cards tells about just a little of the criminal wrongdoing that went into the disaster.
Actually, creating bonds based on mortgages that do not exist is apparently not illegal in this unregulated market.
Wayne Anthony Ross's initials are W.A.R.
i am disappointed that some of the "tea baggers" have to get into racist's comments and the validity of his birth certificate. i guess they couldn't get worked up enough over the FACT this administration has inherited (from the so-called fiscally responsible (R) party) financial crisis,economic crisis,foreclosure crisis and the
automaker crisis. this is a further attempt to hand the entire BLAME onto obama. if people want to get angry i suggest they get angry with wallStreet, TAX code, henry paulson and the BUSH administration. a small percentage of people/families will feel a TAX increase. this was obama's pledge during his campaign. LOOK bush is a liar he did NOT inherit a recession but he left a recession that's the worst this country has seen. directing this at OBAMA is what wallStreet wants. people are being foolish. this economic and financial crisis was a fraudulent scheme by wallStreet/rating agencies. again fox and some right wing elites behind this are serving up a large portion of deception to people addicted to deception.
... I feel the same way about the teabagging crowd as I do about 'flag desecrators.'
Let 'em come out and play. I want them on camera, in the spotlight, not to validate their views, but to let sunshine pour down on the shit they're shoveling. Expose them as hate-filled frauds and loons so that there's no mistake about the deception, no question that it's an agenda pushed by people who don't give a rat's ass about the common man's taxes.
It's a showpiece for idiots like Sam the Phony, who have to be spoon-fed their talking points.
I wonder if Joe the Plumber will show up and speak at any of the tea baggers' jamborees? Probably not. Hell, he got horny just speaking to a crowd of people at a dinner, imagine what would happen to him at a tea bagging party.
continually looking for ways to raise the profits margins on chicken fat, bones, skin and other chicken byproducts we can cram through drive through windows in your meal bag.
lunch. With flavor enhancers!
I hope you all attend my Coffee Break at the National Mall on July 4
It promises to be the most grassrooty protest in the history of grassrooty protests!
Conservatives teabagging tomorrow? Oh, the humanity...
