Gratuitious applause for Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Sherrod Brown is my senator (D-OH) and my personal friend. He was on Maddow yesterday and once again he cut through the bullshit and laid the facts on the table. We had no major financial crisis since 1929 until Reagan put the foxes in charge of the hen houses. Obama is on the right track with the recovery act and his annual budget.

:applause: :woohoo: :yourock:

4. I heard a joke back in the 1980s.
What do McDonalds and the White House have in common? They both have clowns named Ronald.

6. You are mis-using the word gratuitous
nd mis spelling it.

The way you write it, it means that you believe Senator Sherrod Brown doesn't deserve the applause or that applause is unnessesary because it is unearned.

"Grateful applause" would be what you would write if you mean that you are appauding Brown because you are grateful for his action.

"Gratuitous violence" means violence without reason. Not violence that someone is grateful for.

By the way, I like Sherrod Brown, so it makes me sad that you would wish him "gratuitious applause."

7. This plan that Geithner
is selling gives all the profits to the Corporations and all of the losses to the taxpayer. I don't like it. I wish we'd let the FDIC do its job and take over these insolvent banks. Making the FDIC secure these insolvent banks will make it go under. Anyone hear what Bair has to say about this plan????

As Einstein said...you can't have the same people who caused the problem try to fix the problem.

Our dollars are going to worthless and Superinflation will take hold. It's the collapse of the American Empire. Prepare.

WASF.
