You know you sound l like a Republican when...

[Bread and Circus]

...you start using 9/11 as a defense....

Of anything.

5. I had to laugh...

6. it was an absolutely disgusting display

7. Really? She was the US Senator from New York State during that time, and I have NEVER heard her talk

...about it in this context until tonight.

It's true what she said, though. Al Quaeda specifically went after the economic center of the US when they bombed the Twin Towers. They knew what they were doing. It was not just designed to shock us to our core, but to bring down our economy. What the hell do all you people thing Wall Street is, exactly?

There was a reason the Stock Exchanged closed like it did, and a reason it was re-opened with such hoopla. You and I may not like many of its practices and may want to see the whole system reformed, but there is no doubt it is important as all get out.

But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good hate.

[Agony]

8. Wall Street is a a scheme to pump money into the stratosphere with all its friends.

what the hell exactly were you thinking?

I suppose at one point when there was a reasonable level of competition in the system it might have actually been part of a {reasonable} (Ha Ha Ha fucking Ha) capitalist economy.

mostly a corrupt ball of plutonomic shit at this point, Citibank has been saying so anyway... I am sure you are familiar with the Citibank plutonomy memos.

if she had actually done anything to reform the system… oh well….?

She will put Brooksley Born on her reform wall street team don't cha know.
