Don't you just wish they would've dropped just a single of those bricks on your front porch?
I wonder who's installing golden water faucets this time!

(On second thought, I would know how to lose 8 to 12 pounds, though! :D)

Eww...SarbOx. That's one piece of legislation that needs to be reformed...it's going to be a goddamn hassle for people like me, since they're going to be sticking us entry-level finance and accounting guys on that stuff.

Losing it is one thing, shipping tonnes of cold hard cash into a warzone is one of the most reatred things ever done in this war.

I love this bit:
One Republican accused Democrats of trying to embarrass the administration.
"It's old news," said Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va.
Awesome way to turn it around onto the Dems.
"How dare you embarass me by pointing out my incompetences! Have you no honour? You should be ashamed of yourself, telling everyone how inept and corrupt I am."

I dont know if its possible to 'loose' mony...
I can make my pants 'loose'... but i cant 'loose' money.
I can spend it in a 'loose' manner...

Im sure it's not a typo... many people spell 'lose' with two of the letter 'o'

Dont get offended, please. If you do just try to 'loosen' up ok :D

Hey, add that to the $1 trillion my other thread was about and... But they wouldn't be incompetent, no way! Yet another example to prove my point. Thank you kind soul.
