I have a question about that 'fat finger' and the Wall Street ride:
   
Was it Cheney's or one of his minions?

It's all my fault. I have a small mutual fund thingy that I've been thinking about selling. It sort rises and falls with the DOW. I had been thinking about selling when the DOW got somewhere between or around 11,200 and 11,500....well, as always when I think about selling something....the bottom falls out.

...and Mr. Cheney did not call on me to cause the fall.

Wanna have some fun?  Ask a Little Goon-type to explain exactly what Vice President Cheney has done - WITHOUT USING LIBTARD TALKING POINTS OR OTHER DISHONEST WISHFUL THINKING  - has done to deserves such unbridled hatred from the anti-American left.

The Little Goon will start out by spouting out about five sputtered lies that you can easily dismiss away with they truth.  Soon your exchange will end with a lot of spit flying and screaming (in order to drown you out) of "Racist! Racist! Racist!".

What is this "fat finger" thing the morons are discussing?  The P&G mistaken entry that caused the Dow to fall 1,000 points?  Yeah, I'm sure Cheney was behind it. :mental:

Why sure he was. You know Cheney was standing right there behind the guy and pushed his hand down and forced the error. Sheese even a non-DUmmie like me can figure that out.




The whole thing does sort of make you wonder if someone,knowing he had that much power would "fat finger" a key and make a killing from the resulting dive.....

I hope that that someone and all his friends and relatives are being looked into for a sudden influx of cash.
