Michael - Gee, if the liberals were doing such terrible things, why didn't the conservatives, who controlled all three branches of government for most of the past eight years, do anything to stop them? - Allen

Yeah Dang those ivy leaguers: huffingtonpost.com and Bush Gosh those ivy league business boys ARE awful! Put 'em in charge and they "trust" all those liberal bankers (?- talk about your oxymoron) and CEO's... I swear. This is not about liberalism- this is about corporate greed and stupidity- and republicans AND democrats were greedy and stupid and had their faces in the troughs. Those billions and billions that disappeared in to the coffers of no-bid contractors in Iraq (for example) weren't going to "liberals" either- and I've no idea whether those criminals who stole all that money were republicans or democrats- nor do I care, because party has nothing to do with this, and liberalism has nothing to do with this. People who aren't watched will do bad things with other people's money- whether that money is tax money, or whether that money is privately invested money. Some people are honest- but most people need to know they are under supervision of some sort when they handle money- I think we all know that. If you can get your head out of the partisan toilet bowl, you'll see this is a much bigger problem than those "durn liberals", or those terribly well educated ivy league folks. It's really just about the fact that many people will lie, cheat and steal when they get the chance.

Whoops, here come the black helicopters. It's those all powerful liburals who've been running the government for the past 8 years. And, of course, they've been running the financial institutions in their spare time as well. Conspiracy group met at Wednesday in the basement of Goldman Sachs with dedicated internet and telephone lines to the Treasury (Snow and Paulson) and the WH (Rove) and the Senate (Frist and McConnell) and the House (Hastert). Bush was on the ranch. Greeting, Michael.
