Good thing McCain is in DC and giving this whole bailout business his full attention. He will get this ironed out for us. It will be models and bottles by Christmas.
"perks paid paid to doctors"?
quality control, ATL, quality control.
you're doing a heckuva job mccain! good thing you're doing whatever it is you're doing and not debating obama!
No sex videos, Kash? You're breaking our hearts!
WTF is with the new ad formats that creep all over my screen. Cut that shit out ATL! We browse this site while trying to look busy, and accidentally clicking on Wii ads won't help. Plus, its annoying plain and simple.
Wait... you mean Mystal's "FYI: The Bailout Is So Totally On" was another conclusion that was premature or otherwise less-than-fully-supported by the facts?
Never woulda seen that coming.
"Were you hurt while on a Ship or Cruise? For Free Legal Help & Compensation," click on the ridiculous-looking add that likely appears on the right side of your screen.
Guys at my high school never debated $700 billion bailouts for a broken economy.
We had Clinton back then.
Re: Jack Thompson
According to the linked post, he issued this statement:
"The timing of this disbarment transparently reveals its motivation: This past Friday Thompson filed a federal civil rights action against The Bar, the Supreme Court and all seven of its Justices. This rush to disbarment is in retribution for the filing of that federal suit. With enemies this foolish, Thompson needs only the loyal friends he has."
Apparently, wing-nut disbarred lawyers all have the same press agent.
How can Medtronic's own lawyer blow the whistle on them? Does this not patently violate the Rules of Professional Conduct? This doesn't make sense.
