[Gary Sisco]

Pretty much. They've also been busy dismantling all of the preventionary laws and regs governing banking and so on in the financial world.

With predictable results. What's happened in the finance world today would not have been possible with those regs and laws still in place.

Duh.

A triumph of ideology is precisely what it is.

"If reality doesn't conform to ideology, so much the worse for reality."

I believe it was Will Rogers who said "Ignorance can be cured, stupidity can't."

Bonomo in the "Trout Mask Replica: The Amazon 1-Star Reviews" thread on April-10th-2008, 04:59 PM,

"Beefheart's TROUT MASK was just a run of good music, sustained but not very progressive. Like Mose Allison, one is just glad he's around."

Everyday is July 4 when you are a superpatriot like me. I wipe my ass with sparklers.

On a side note, I heard on the radio this morning that today is the 40th birthday of the Slurpee. Supposedly each 7/11 store is giving away 1000 Slurpees to mark the occasion.

Hum, I thought it was 'cause today's date is 7/11.

it won't be funny when McCain/Palin slide into the White House. Despite the essence of what he (and countless others) are thinking, that ditzy douchebag and McCain will probably win in November.

Watch when states with 10+ point poll leads for Obama turn red on 11-4.

My state will be a prime example (PA).

Listen, the reason I am the happiest and most well-adjusted poster on this board is simple. I have two favorite American political parties, the Republicans are my #1 but the Dems are right there behind them. So in November I am going to hold my nose and vote for the GOP like I promised Satan I always would do, but I'm not going to weep uncontrollably when Barack Obama, who seems to be a substantative enough character, sweeps into office. The Dems have been out of the Oval Office for eight years and it will be good for them to share the responsibilities of government in this complicated era. Mine won't be the vote that makes it a landslide, is all. And anyways, comfortable though I am with the xenophobia and racism that crawjo finds in the national discourse, I've already voted for Obama, in the primaries, as the liberal dictator I would prefer to Hillary. Voting for Obama once might be new and virtuous, but voting for him twice! That'd be like walking into a gay bar for a second time. I mean, maybe the first time you're just curious. Or not "curious" but uh, or maybe you need to use the bathroom. Or maybe you didn't even know it was a gay bar! Yeah. I mean, they have "gay" bars? I never knew that. I wanted a fucking drink like a real fucking man. That's a perversion? I don't think so. Anyway, my point is that I am happy and well-adjusted. WOULD YOU JUST GET OFF MY FUCKING BACK?.

Hahahaha! Hilarious.

If you listen to Beethoven or Mozart, you see that they are always the same.
If you listen to traffic, you see that it is always different.

So, playing an instrument like, for example, a saxophone, is "very organic stuff?"

And playing in the altissimo is "dealing with the timbres and tonalities of the instruments at hand."

If you think that kind of bullshit is going to get you some pussy, you've come to the wrong place.

Yeah Tom, those phrases in "" are mine. Here's my reply to Rollhead.

Hah! Don't even go there. If you gots an issue with those terms and think its unutterably pretentious to use them, i don't particularly give a damn. Go use your bullshit detector somewheres else and save your ears - i'm sure it's been beeping off the hook since it encountered my last post.

Damn word nazis.
