I would think that tightening up the rules of the game might be a better strategy, no more brown eyed jacks, jokers and every other fucking wild card that these con artists can dream up.
The financial markets have been proved to be way out of control, I'm thinkin' fannie mae, freddie mac and sallie mae are still fleecing and being fleeced at a record pace.
These pricks need a little market adjustment ala feet first out the goddam window. That sound might get their attention!
But what the do I know, bugtussell? I'm just another dumbass nailpounder like you.
Maybe one of these financial wizards'll drop by and educate us, when they are done whining about friggin' class warfare. We are just too ignerant and deaf to realize class warfare started with the tossing of Glass Steagle and the mantra of "deregulation is killing the job creators" WTF.
Thanks Chas, Now I need a drink and a joint!
Yew gotta joint???

Ain't seen one of them in years.

To tell the truth, I've given up of fixing THE world, but concentrating on fixing MY world. I have a certain amount of of control over that.

An although I get a case of the ass from time to time, my days of getting foaming at the mouth pissed off over the nature of things are pretty much long past.

Life's too short to be pissed off all of the time. After all, it's not what happens to you, it's how you let it effect you.

Why bother?

Chas

Aww, just blowin' off steam. Pissed off at myself, really, just got home from work. Whacked my left thumb with a dinky finish hammer hard enough to need a drink an' a dube, at least it isn't throbbing any more. Think I'll watch Bill Mahr diddle the news while I fix the ol' gal some dinner.

I hate little hammers, even my finish hammer is 20 oz.

I've probably got around 20 or so of those as well, as well as three compressors.

I've only got maybe 10 hammers, unless I include the mauls.

Solid Maple faceframe cabinets with 100+lb. o'air and I'm still getting the occasional 5\8"finish nail peekin' it's head up. I was tired o' puttying up my backswing gouges using the 20oz. smoothface. I'm gonna dial it all the way up to 130 lbs come Monday. Just hope there isn't anyone downrange if it goes thru! No big loss if it's a plumber, though.

LMAO! Plumbers and lawyers always have those full page advertisements in the Yellow Pages. I always wondered why until I needed a plumber.

Don't get me started on the advertizing.. too late.In my Andy Rooney voice, "Has anyone else noticed that almost every television advert is an insurance company?"
