  1. “We’re allowed our opinions so long as they’re the right ones.”

    I elect Biff Champion as Director of Opinions. Say one, say all…

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  2. Biff and Chicken great video. My husband and I had a good laugh at it. Then I ran down the hallway in slow motion looking from side to side with the perplexed fear eyes.

    At least he thinks I’m amusing.

  3. ” Mr. B gave it to Rob pretty good at 11:51am. Ouch!”

    Hi Biff! Rob made some good points but he has learn to fight! He should come to my Dojo and learn What-Fu! I tore Brownstoner a new one yesterday (I know ya’ll disagree) and went to pick on Rob!

    “It has been flowing into corporate debt.”

    So you want to loan your money to a company that received TARP money????!!!!!

    What the fuck just happen to GM Bond holders???? Ok Dave not today, see you on the other side..

    The What (Let Dave invest your money. This time it’s “different”.)

  4. I have no idea who Gary North is but his assessment of the Jews in Germany is about as amateurish as a high school term paper. Good use of a bad analogy to make a point but as someone who has a little knowledge on the subject, let me say:
    1. yes, many Jews could not believe that the country they had called home for hundreds of years, or friends, neighbors and even family would turn on them. Mnay fought for Germany in WW I
    2. Millions tried to get out and were held hostage by the germans in order to get their families to pay ransom to get them out. This happened to my aunt and her family. Only one survived.
    3. those who tried to escape were often caught and beaten. My cousin, for instance.
    4. Pre War Germany had a population of Jews put at anywhere between 600-900,000. (NOT 160,000) The majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe. Poland had over 3 million.
    5. They were lied to in order to not overly frighten them- so that the Germans could raid their homes and possessions and lands at their leisure. Had Jews been able to leave en masse, Hitler would have lost all of their arts and treasure and money leave with them.
    6. Supposedly not even the majority of the German people believed in the reality of the “Final Solution.”

    To use Jews as an example of ostriches is both ignorant of the whole story, human psychology and actual history. Not to mention- an insult. Pick a better analyst- one has actually has a few real facts under his belt.
