I think I'd notice when I go to give him a hard time about Ottawa getting knocked out of the playoffs.

But a sock puppet on HCN can inflict untold emotional damage.

Someone that thin skinned, should probably learn to use the ignore function, or even better, not spend much time on-line.

What, like Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina?

You might review who impeachment covers. Clinton's impeachable crimes expired with his office. Same with Bush.

So, the point of Ford's pardon of Nixon?

paid $38.6k in 1971.

So, 206K, in inflation adjusted dollars.

Net income fell to $1.08 billion, or 55 cents a share, from $1.59 billion, or 80 cents a share, a year earlier.

Gold ETFs Are Liquidating By the Ton

Huh? I wonder if they are divesting the physical, or the paper first. It would be telling to know which they might be giving preference to.

I think there is a HUGE difference. When it's YOUR ox getting gored, it's not as big a deal as when it is MY ox getting gored. Just like some might be all for cutting corporate taxes, right up until, they get hit with a VAT or get lumped into the top marginal rate...

‘Co-Conspirator’: Fox News Reporter James Rosen’s Private Emails Given To Justice Dept. By Google | Mediaite

we hear the grousing of Washington Post National Political Editor Steven Ginsberg, Washington reporter John Solomon and the Associated Press's Matt Apuzzo. From the partisan corners come the protests of the Daily Caller's Tucker Carlson, the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, Fox News Channel's Brit Hume, the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald and the chronically underemployed Keith Olbermann.

Were any of these clowns as concerned when Justice went after Wikileaks, and prohibited the CC companies and Pay Pal from processing donations?

If the nutters had not been crying wolf for 4+ years already, they might actually be able to make some hay with the, IRS stuff. But now? The (R) have no credibility, and it is kind of hard to generate sympathy for the Koch 401c3's.

Well it is less concerned about it's profits, that go to the Treasury, than the TBTF banks profits, that go to the 1%.

The kiss of death. "Heck of a job Brownie!"

Of course Eric has been VERY good for the bankers, so he might get by. Unless E. Warren takes him to task. I for one, would like to see Eliot Spitzer get a couple of years at that job ASAP.
