Hey you're right Don! I just searched for it:

I know all about rodless seedless...
Like you, apparently, I don't put him on my twit list because occasionally I
feel the need to protect others from his absolutely worthless BS.
_I_ know that his invective, innuendo, and other trash talk are simplistic
attempt to mask his lack of knowledge about ANYTHING. It's too bad, however,
that there may be a few people around here that may still actually believe
anything he types...
We've already seen here that his "trivial" investment schemes simply DO NOT
EXIST!

True enough. I'm still using a Tandy Leather checkbook cover kit
that I assembled in 1971! For one account, I typically run out of
deposit slips; bank nails me $10.00 for 50 of those so I use the generic
counter deposit forms as often as possible.

Xerox copies work. 3 or 4 or 5 per page depending on how much you're
willing to reduce them.

No way. That wouldn't even get you into an Obama fund raiser.
$28,000 plus another $2,500 to here Babs sing.
Save your money. Vote for Palin.
Nice swerve. Oooohhh...Obama throws expensive fund raisers. Just like
every other presidential candidate in modern history...why McCain/Palin just
had one very recently too. What does that prove?

I think it obvious that the Tweedle's intend to remain in control.
The financial situation is just too engrossing for me to pay much
attention to any of the four mouthpieces. We all know that what is
being spewed now is just vote attracting posturing that has no
relationship with reality. "Thanks, but no thanks." It doesn't
matter much anyway, the real fate of the country for the next two
terms is being decided right now on Wall Street.
At the same time, the general public is distracted trying to imagine
which designer created Palin's moose shooting ensemble.

Maybe I should banish myself and be done with it. I am reminded of
this quote from the movie "Gladiator" in regards to this "He is an
Elitist" drivel:
Gracchus: I don't pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to
be a man for the people.
Need less pretending to be "of the people" and more being "for the
people".

How people spend their own money is their business. How they spend
tax dollars is another issue.

And, supposedly Edwards haircut was brought up because he made a "big
issue of how he was for he poor". As I said, I wish Edward's haircut
wasn't brought up. It does make every personal garment and beauty
treatment a political issue.

Her money is derived from tax dollars. But that isn't the point. The point
is she pretends to be just a regular, small town, hockey mom. I've known a
lot of hockey (and soccer, and baseball, and football) moms. I've yet to
meet one who spends 2,500 bucks on a designer jacket. Or hundreds of
thousands like Cindy McCain for that matter. These people are the wealthy
elite...not the regular folk they would like their naive followers to
believe.

that is stupid. If he is rich it would be in his best interest to
support the rich like republicans do. Supporting the poor goes against
his best interest.
