Boy howdy, do I ever see the error of my ways.
What we need is more Enrons, Nationwides and AIGs.
Those damn regulatory agencies, ruining everything for everybody.
Damn near socialism.
Ta, ta for now, off to renew my dittohead credentials.
Excuse me, I should have said "pro-stupid-overegulation or Barney Frank/Chris Dodd-style corrupt stick-it-in-my-back-pocket-and-get-my-friends-re-elected" regulation...you know, the kind that's okay with liberals, especially when they're running the show.Quote:

Not too soon to start freaking out and declaring the end of the world yet, though.
Kind of curious about how Obama has "taken control" of the auto industry...were they not the ones who came begging for money?
