No, just covering for him. I imagine he's at some Heritage Foundation intern thingy.

Sorry - it has been so long since I read Ceasar's commentaries that I have completely forgotten my latin.

I would have to post the following picture 4 times a minute for the next 48 years to graphically make my point regarding the human rights that FDR kicked to the curb for the sake of his own vanity. And this guy is the greatest democrat of the last 100 years. Sad.
OTOH, Clinton's human rights violations can be summarized with a few days of posting tombstones and this gem.

I'm guessing she's out by Friday.
2. I imagine if she comes out by Friday, the girls will make the initiation a little easier on her.

you learned the difference between correlation and causation, though, right?

Almost no one on this board understands this concept, apparently. I still have a headache from that day.

It's not insider trading. The mechanism is simple--take positions on a regular basis during periods of fluctuations. Some positions will go up; others will go down. Net they'll probably wash, or go down slightly (transaction fees). Change the name on one account, with post-dating. If you do it right, it's the one that goes up. Nothing illegal about it from a trading perspective. The claim of smell related to someone doing her a favor--i.e., it was a campaign donation in disguise. And by "campaign donation" I mean a thank you to her husband for some favorable legislation. And by "thank you" I mean payoff. So it might violate RICO or some state contributions law, but it's not a securities violation.

And nothing that anyone has developed any evidence of beyond what the Clintons' political adversaries smell.

Sheesh. You folks make the JFK theorists look reasonable.

There was a fair amount of evidence suggesting something was amiss. As it was, recordkeeping from the late 1970s isn't what it might be today. Of course, some of those records turned up under desks, in trunks of cars at Little Rock junk yards, and perhaps in Vince Foster's coffin, were it exhumed.

Seriously, while a lot of the conspiracy stuff is out there, the commodities scam, as burger correctly portrays it, is pedestrian.

Seriously, you should wrap this angle for awhile. Much more conspiracy crap and people will start seeing you as no more rational than Ty.

the kiss of death

That's too easy. Bye bye Alberto.

LAS VEGAS - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday pronounced Attorney General Alberto Gonzales qualified to sit on the Supreme Court, but added, "I don't know if he'd have an easy way through" Senate confirmation.

Hank, it's cute how you try to protect him, but your image of Penske is not the reality. The reality is that he believes all of this "Clintons are murderers" crap.
