I made my freeper BIL think last night.
He's at dinner and the topic for the adult end of the table was the bailout and keeping the money out of the hands of the CEOs. He was lamblasting the bailout of the 80's - the $120 billion bailout - the Lincoln Savings/Loan. Apparently he got caught up in that with his mortgage investments. He was going on and on how McCain was going to fix this problem.

It was a beautiful sound -- I shut him up! I said "Oh, you mean the Keating Five scandal - THAT $120 Billion bailout - THAT Lincoln Savings/Loan? I should say that McCain should definitely know alot about 'fixing' things. After all, he was one of the Keating Five." He said "He was? You sure?" "Yup!" He excused himself from the table and went right into my MILs office to start researching.

Of course, I sent my MIL an email today saying I heard she changed banks to CitiBank from Wachovia. For all I know, she's probably fighting my BIL for her computer. :evilgrin:

1. You made a freeper think? How quick was the response when you dialed 911?
and how long did it take to clean up the bits and pieces of skull after his head exploded?

3. Gotta give him credit for deciding to research instead
of just blindly having faith in McCain and calling you a liar.


But still, must have felt good :D
