the Europe Partners II, designed to finance buyouts of European media, technology, construction and defence groups, raised $2.2billion.

Scary.

I'm feeling a vague sense of doom.

One day I'll be president and I'll drop a neutron bomb on them or something.

But I love Carlyle and Haliburton, why they can just milk me and the rest of the taxpayers for all we're worth! I would just love it if every channel was Fox, and if everyone looked the same...come to think of it, everyone should just be me, or be killed. And I don't mind if a company overbills the American taxpayers for millions of dollars, just as long as it's a rightwing company, and who cares if Carlyle buys out every other company in the world, who needs diversity anyway, everyone should just agree with me and like it, or be killed...
