who went to jail for the global crash of 2008? Warren Stupidity Apr 2014 #1

The point isn't JAIL - the point is that we are NOT having "Global Crashes" laserhaas Apr 2014 #2

NO - I have NOT conceded Matt's point. The argument is that GWB was HANDS DOWN better than Obama laserhaas Apr 2014 #4

Taibbi has solid credibility. 99Forever Apr 2014 #29

FACT - I'm one of (if not THE) source of "Greed & Debt" issues and Taibbi is emailing me now laserhaas Apr 2014 #31

Sounds like sour grapes to me. bvar22 Apr 2014 #32

Like those incarcerated wrongly, who are not celebrated until they are released laserhaas Apr 2014 #42

Yeah well, then its going to disappoint you that Taibbi and I are (sort of) making up. laserhaas Apr 2014 #36

Stay focused like a laser, laserhaas! randome Apr 2014 #39

thanks 'randome'. As I said, I've apologized and he is not spanking me so hard today laserhaas Apr 2014 #41

The "First Look Media" effort of Taibbi pathway bodes hard against that Koch thingy laserhaas Apr 2014 #45

I'm disheartened too. But (hopefully) this new effort of Taibbi's means a change is transpiring laserhaas Apr 2014 #47
