Even in the most dark, twisted, convoluted recesses of your age/drug addled remnant of a mind it is stunning you could find connect those floating dots from my post....I'd call YOU an idiot, but don't want the word to take on a new dimension.

The NYT?

Leftist?

Where do they slip in their Marxist propaganda? In between cheer-leading wars?

So you argue for the sake of filling board space?

They aren't in prison because they own the game.

Sad, but true.

Personal Wealth for Congressmen Explodes

Despite hard times for many in the country, the personal wealth of many congressional leaders charged with guiding the country has grown at rates that are not even being matched by the most aggressive investment firms such as Goldman Sachs.
"While many Americans find themselves underemployed, or completely unemployed, members of Congress earn an annual pay of $174,000. In addition, certain members of congress such as Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid have seen market-beating increases in their net worth during what is arguably one of the worst economic downturns in recent memory. In addition, certain members, such as Charles Rangel (who was recently censured for failing to pay capital gains tax) have run into legal trouble over those investments.

You are a right wing hack. That is not a argumentum ad hominem because an argumentum ad hominem is an attempt to link the truth of a claim to a negative trait that you posses. I'm not trying to do that. I'm pointing out, quite accurately, that you are a right wing hack and that you are one of the worst kinds of right wing hacks, you are a right wing hack that will not admit you suck right wing dick. The record is replete with instances of your disgusting behavior and any 'judge' or 'justice' that cared to judge the case could, either sue sponte or by motion take judicial notice of your horrid takes as they are easily searched on this site.

Dins,
Nice piggy back on 88's pathetic attempt at logic. How does his ass taste?

It's piss-soaked, left-wing, dick-smoking cockheaded, monkey-felching, cunt-headed, niggger-fucking piles of fucking shit lawyers like you that is fucking the living shit out of this country. I wish every little fucker like you would bathe his/her little dicks out in the middle of a HIGH SPEED fucking interstate. 95% of the problems that are fucking this country down the shit-hole are fucks like YOU. Your only interest is YOU. Oh sure - you can lie and tell everybody how you're out to help people, but you're a fucking liar. As long as little cunts like you are shit-stuffing this country's suck-fuck-failing shit system down the drain with copious amounts of fucking uncalled-for fucking laws, you're just happy that you know you can take advantage of fuckers all day long. And what's even sadder? Most of you little cunts don't know fuck about a large % of the laws you very cunts create.

Our system is now a failure - due to greedy dick-sniffing cunt toppings like you. Hope you're fucking proud of it, cock-snot.

I ask because I worked for 2 of those guys when I was doing a cool temp job gig in New Jersey. Michael Bloomberg own(s)ed the company while his buddy Duncan (1 of the 4 former Goldman-Sachs guys) worked on the same floor as myself.

Also, does the book mention anything about Abby Joseph Cohen? Once she said she's going to 10% cash holdings and Alan Greenspan gave his "irrational exuberance" speech the next day. The stock market tanked March 10th that year. If that is addressed then I would be interested in reading that book.

None of those people are mentioned in the book.
