Or is it more likely that Mr. Disingenuous just went a little Overkill with a bottle of "Man Tan"??? You think the guy on the right in the Picture above has a special seat reserved for Larry Kudlow?? Hell, I certainly hope so. Do you think Wrong, Wrong, Wrong (and even More Wrong) Larry Kudlow took a page from ‘Orangelo’ “Tan Man” Mozilo’s playbook and Hit the Tanning Booth???

So much for that 550 point rally on Thursday. Must have been wishful thinking. It just occurred to me that the DOW has lost about 560 points during the last two trading days.

Good. Those jokers weazeled there way into legaly forcing us into every kind of insurance in the book. No insurance, no car loan. No insurance, no house loan. You don't have unemployment insurence? Sorry, no dole for you. Did you insure your life? Then you better not die. No Health insurance? You must be a bad risk. Isn't it amazing that nobody gets paid by the insurance companies for being healthy or driving safely? It's part of an insane society to charge you for insurance but not pay you for saving the insurance company money. Our society needs a massive pushback on this required insurance crap.
