Kumbaya.

Bonus money was nothing 1/10 of 1 percent of what AIG got. Talk about a Ponzi scheme. Guess who pays?

S&P 500 up around 20% since I gave that buy signal to angry con dellinger a couple weeks ago.

Enlighten me, by all means. Do you know why they were given the Gaza Strip? Are you just another name-caller? Are you of Palestinian decent? Are you going to correct my exaggerated $$ amount? Do you pay enough taxes yet?

Bingo! Some people don't see through this classic misdirection ploy. Congress made sure this bonus $ was protected in the "stimulus" bill then painted Libby as the bad guy. He should have slapped a $1 bill on the table, told them to stick it and walked out. The hypocracy was staggering. Congress is too arrogant to be embarrassed. They should be ashamed to cash their paychecks. They want people to be pissed at AIG instead of them, and it seems to be working well.

I pay plenty of taxes and expect to pay more.

Your dollar amount was not exaggerated and was thankfully 5 times more than Bush had proposed.

I am not of Palestinian decent but think that this is a pittance for people in need compared to what we spend on others. And yes, unfortunately some will no doubt filter to Hamas but it's a start.

I'd love to see a 100% turnover in both houses. Not one single re-election. I do think Iran and maybe Hezbollah should be kicking in to rebuild Gaza instead of us. They are the ones who supplied Hamas with the rockets to fire at civilians from Mosques and schools. If they don't care about living in peace we can't make them want to. If they don't shoot the rockets, they don't get blasted to Kingdom Come. Simple.

You do look a little middle eastern...
