"We have two Democratic candidates who are vying with each other to describe the economic situation worse. "The reality is that if you live on Wall Street and you're in the credit markets the world couldn't be worse. If you're a farmer and you're getting $25 for your wheat, you're having a great time. If you're a CEO and you've got a balance sheet that's bullet-proof, you're in a great position. This whole thing is way out of control, way out of hand." See, its all good people, just vote Republican! Just to be clear, I'm not saying that the American MSM has been taken over by right wingers who are using their influence to push a radical agenda. Not at all...and even if it were true, Republicans are all that's standing between you and the liberals that are planning your forced gay marriage to an American Iraq insurgent.

American is gonna make it to 2009..... With a potential 4.00 per gallon, ever increasing food & health prices, reduced credit, and a savingsless demo.....I estimate two to three months of this before the crap truly hits the fan. John,

I want to show that to a friend who's just taken a job running the pension fund for a big city.
