Somehow this isn't what I think they had in mind with "cash for clunkers." Oh well, who cares. It was all so may seconds ago, hard to remember. Yawn. Let's fuggetabodit and surf on over to the latest McNews on Tiger Woods and his concubines.

Mad enough yet?

I gotta give credit to the owner of that vehicle, it took balls to put that plate on.

Doesn't everyone feel so much better with the increased Bank and Credit Card fees and tighter lending?

I especially like how the really big banks got to swallow up other banks right in the middle of the "banking crisis". How exactly did they have the money to do that while at the same time we were "bailing" them out?

Oh, I forgot, we aren't supposed to remember that little fact. Sorry.

Nevermind

Great Thread. S/F

However, I am distracted...when does the new season of American Idol start? Where's my TV Guide....

You would be better off asking who moved over $2 trillion in the world's economy to make it look like a meltdown? This caused the dollar to drop like a bomb. Now suddenly the dollar is on the rise, who stands to benefit?
