T-shirt I saw:
“President Bush Spent a Month on Vacation in CRAWFORD, TEXAS and all I got was this lousy double-dip recession!”

No. But I’m still expecting that $300/$600 tax advance to kick this economy into action any minute now.

As bad as the economy may seem, it could be worse.

Try telling that to my mother, 76 next week, who must work full time because her retirement fund tanked due to Enron, WorldCom, trickle-down economics and the like.
Last weekend I saw a tshirt worn by Alice Cooper.
On the front it said..
BRITTNEY SPEARS WANTS ME
on the back…
DEAD
Here’s one I saw in Niagara Falls: HELP, I’M ON THE TELEPHONE AND I CAN’T SHUT UP.
I suppose everyone has heard Joe Lieberman’s definition of “trickle down” economics? It’s “Feeding the birds by giving the horses more oats!”
I was reading a news story today on how Dick Armee is holding the National Health Centers funding bill hostage - not because he objects to it but to force approval of a much more controversial anti-abortion bill he wants passed.
Heck, no skin off HIS nose - none of his rich suburban constitiuents use neighborhood health centers.
Dale, I would think that you of all people would recognize a few things. First, that taking cheap shots at the President around the anniversary of 9/11 will be viewed by many people as bad taste. There are a lot of members from New York and DC, some of whom probably have had to live with loss. Second, there’s no way you can blame Bush for the recession. It started three months after the guy got into office; Clinton’s policies were all still in place. (Clinton’s not to blame either, it’s just a cyclical thing.) Third, intolerance of viewpoints that are not your own is exactly what led to 9/11.

And three Democratic Senators are holding the nomination of the new person to head the FAA (which oversees air safety for God’s sake) hostage because she won’t tell them that she will defy a court order to submit a union contract to the OMB for review (ie, she will conduct her administration legally).
I’m not a Republican, nor am I a Bush fan, but aren’t there more appropriate forums for this?

Politics and religion shouldn’t be discussed on C&F. Or if they are, we should start yet another new board. We could call it the “I can smirk at all of you because I make snidely superior remarks about your beliefs” board. Whaddya think?

No money market or bond funds available in this retirement plan?
This thread is covered in PowerBait.
But the Weekender wisely avoids the sharpened barbs…only will nudge the leader.
By saying, thanks chas and Kim for perspective.
As for Blackhawk: put on your flak-helmet pal. Suggestions about Forum changes, improvements, content…yikes-a-hooty!
INCOMING!!!
Or not.
I personally think everybody on this board is way too darn touchy these days, myself included.
You think, especially at this time of year, when we are all remembering something so painful, we could cut each other some slack, folks?
I seem to remember Dale is the man who wrote a poem about the New York firemen which brought tears to my eyes. I also seem to remember that it is by Dale’s efforts and graces that this board is even here.
I for one would like to tell Dale a much-overdue “Thank you!!!”.

It’s a good thing that this is online, a copper Low-D sharp impacting another persons skull would really hurt. eek! 
We’d better be careful, they might start considering whistles as weapons at airports.
Really! I mean, yikes a freakin’ hootie, lighten up a little. Use your senses of humor. Move to Canada and smoke some medicinal herb.
