No on has a higher opinion of decorum and civility than I, but I feel as though you have stolen my lollipop by denying me the to opportunity to read “trollish nonsense!”

As for Mr. Al-Zeidi, what about a brisk “No harm, no foul,” and smacking him with a five thousand dollar fine for wasting the Secret Service’s time?

Bernie? Hmmm. Don’t we have the vernal equinox coming up? Perhaps he should be put in the capital before Congress assembled for a bacchanalian revel with former investors, and the little dears could express themselves as they saw fit. Rather like shooting admirals pour encourager les autres?

Nice post, Rick.

Darn. There’s really no justice. There’s just us and the guys with the guns. Let’s hear an amen to the Second Amendment! Gary! Another shot of whiskey, please!

Bernie’s problem is that he simply wasn’t thinking big enough. You can’t steal millions, or even mere tens of billions and really expect to get away with it. To do it right (not to mention having some negotiation leverage) one must steal hundreds of billions or a trillion or two. That really gets the attention of the washington crowd, and they’ll cut a deal. But only if you do a sufficient amount of damage.

Keep yer powder dry.

I just deleted the post of one “Earl Gray.”

We welcome disagreement and discourse, but we won’t brook insults and trollish nonsense. We understand how talking about politics, money and race can get the blood up, but try to be adult when you post.
