11. Goldman needs to be 
 investigated, and it will be. They have committed crimes. You are defending criminals, and conflating them with the President of the United States,

Methinks DUmmie heard word used on MSNBC and used it on DU in a semi-cerebral sounding post and then the rest of them went "O-o-oh!" and started using it themselves to try and sound just as smart.

Feel free to post any other examples you trip across. It's not like they're too hard to find.

It is the same with thread after thread on the same subject when they get all wound up.
Everyone of them believes they are the ONLY one to think of something.

[DumbAss Tanker]

It's a useful word in the right context, in which practically none of them are actually using it.   By and large they really just mean the simpler and less-lofty-sounding 'Confusing' instead of their word du jour.

Well, then that's just sheer goofiness.  Something else they always do is echo, as if they didn't read any of the thread at all.  Take the Geico guy w/ the phone message.  About 15 people told the same joke in the same thread, wherein retarded people should be offended by being associated with the teabaggers.  And the Slug Bug thread, where everyone had to describe their bro's and sis's as kids.

Related to this is how they do not absorb information provided.  When Twix announced he was leaving the country, people told him that you can't just land anywhere and say "here I am" etc.  Right after those posts, were other DUmmies saying "Follow your dream!  Best of luck to you!!!!!!"  Damn moonbats.

[Texacon]

That's because all DUmmies are obstreperous.

Nice to see that Wod-A-Day calendar is paying of for you.

[Texacon]

It's more like a word a month.  I can't handle any more info than that at a time.

Well, they could be conflagarating.......then they would keep somebody warm for a bit instead of keeping us entertained.

It's because their perceived share of welfare money just grew.

Yes they have committed crimes it is all connected to your president DU.  I call him YOUR president because he obviously doesn't want to be the President for ALL of the people.  He has made that perfectly clear.

Oh and your creepy liar of a God Al Gore is as dirty as they come.

The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud
 
Posted 04/28/2010 07:11 PM ET

Al Gore is co-founder of an investment management firm that is now the fifth-largest shareholder in the Chicago Climate Exchange. AP View Enlarged Image

Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.

Lost in the recent headlines was Al Gore's appearance Monday in Denver at the annual meeting of the Council of Foundations, an association of the nation's philanthropic leaders.

"Time's running out (on climate change)," Gore told them. "We have to get our act together. You have a unique role in getting our act together."

Gore was right that foundations will play a key role in keeping the climate scam alive as evidence of outright climate fraud grows, just as they were critical in the beginning when the Joyce Foundation in 2000 and 2001 provided the seed money to start the Chicago Climate Exchange. It started trading in 2003, and what it trades is, essentially, air. More specifically perhaps, hot air.

**snip**

Other founders include former Goldman Sachs partner David Blood, as well as Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris, also of Goldman Sachs. In 2006, CCX received a big boost when another investor bought a 10% stake on the prospect of making a great deal of money for itself. That investor was Goldman Sachs, now under the gun for selling financial instruments it knew were doomed to fail.

The actual mechanism for trading on the exchange was purchased and patented by none other than Franklin Raines, who was CEO of Fannie Mae at the time.

Raines profited handsomely to the tune of some $90 million by buying and bundling bad mortgages that led to the collapse of the American economy. His interest in climate trading is curious until one realizes cap-and-trade would make housing costlier as well.

Amazingly, none of these facts came up at Senate hearings on Goldman Sachs' activities, which may be nothing more than Ross Perot's famous "gorilla dust," meant to distract us from the real issues.

The climate trading scheme being stitched together here will do more damage than Goldman Sachs, AIG and Fannie Mae combined. But it will bring power and money to its architects.

"That word you keep using. I do not think it means you think it means."

Probably some fundamental mistake, like saying something that was actually true.

You didn't put ME on ignore, but here I am, lonely on a Friday night, pining for you...and I just found out they closed Table Ten.  Back to Heroes Bar I go.  I'll be the one in the corner, drinking my beer, throwing my peanut shells on the floor, licking my eyebrows....
