Wall Street Journal Puffs Up Sam Wyly, Ignoring Offshore Tax Shenanigans Uncovered by Congressional Investigators
Response to post #7: That most certainly is another way to define their cultural failure. The GOP aristocracy has proven far too many times in the last eight years alone that they really don't give a damn about the future for humanity as long as they can maximize their insatiable lusts for wealth and power during their own lifetime. Most obviously, not enough homo sapiens really care enough to take history seriously or the rest of us would have voted the vast majority if not all of the republicans out of office by the end of the Bush-Cheney-GOP Autocracy. Yes Don, homo sapiens are the first species to determine their own path to extinction.— January 1, 2009 5:23 p.m.
Wall Street Journal Puffs Up Sam Wyly, Ignoring Offshore Tax Shenanigans Uncovered by Congressional Investigators
An ultimate sequel to "The Weekend That Wall Street Died" will most certainly be “The Weekend That Homo Sapiens Became Extinct” because natural history is full of billions of years of proofs that lead to the prediction in this mornings “Quest – Darwin’s Legacy”: “We’re in the middle of an enormous mass extinction right now --- This mass extinction is human-mediated. It’s largely caused by things like destruction of habitat, which may result in irreversible harm in terms of evolutionary diversification. Environments are being modified, but maybe not in any way that life can adapt and evolve in. --- Certainly some kind of life will persist, adapt, evolve ------ It just might not be us.” As the consequences of destruction documented daily by escalating events are proving, the past six years of Bush-Cheney-GOP Autocracy put us on a course of destruction that is spinning further and further out of control due to the GOP’s paramount cultural values of Greed and Hate. To our peril, natural history proves that the GOP has put humanity on an accelerated path of destruction which very likely will not allow us to evolve in time to survive. No wonder the GOP chooses to destroy our educational systems and close libraries, they have most certainly created the brain-dead republican electorate that best serves their Greed and Hate.— January 1, 2009 11:35 a.m.
Pro-football pushing San Diego closer to bankruptcy
Response to post #24: The Bush-Cheney/Republican Party legacy created over the last eight years includes: Attacks against U.S. Constitution and American Democracy Treason against the U.S. Military by failing to plan, lead and provide equipment, training and diplomacy to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan causing hellaciously excessive deaths and injuries to America’s Heroes and Patriots Empowering Wall Street to maximize their own greed at the expense of the American economy Selling America out to Communist China Destruction of American education systems, libraries and other support that are required for a successful Democracy Creating out of control poverty and conditions for destruction of the Middle Class— December 29, 2008 11:48 a.m.
Pro-football pushing San Diego closer to bankruptcy
Response to post #22: Don, you keep documenting there is no greed like REPUBLICAN GREED, with Spanos a case study from hell all by himself. Cheney and his puppet Bush, and the Neocons have proven for eight years that they don't give a damn about anyone but their own aristocracy, turning Wall Street into a Ponzi scheme that even Calbreath documented this morning in his column. The fact that some middle class idiots voted Republican anyway only means that there really are far too many brain-dead voters willing to vote against their own interests without thinking. The middle class is doing a lot more than "shrinking," the GOP is making them extinct even as they sacrifice republican idiots who aren't part of the superrich aristocracy. Interesting "23 WHO LET US DOWN" Editorial this morning, the U-T Editorial Board is still covering up their own republican treason against San Diego because there are still far too many brain-dead republicans who believe everything the U-T and the GOP say in spite of the continuous acts of republican treason against American Democracy. The bottom line is that the GOP aristocracy is crashing and burning the American Way of Life that ended when the GOP autocracy took over WashDC in 2001, even at the expense of destroying American Capitalism by selling out America to Communist China.— December 28, 2008 11:57 a.m.

Response to post #20: Don, no one knows better than you that the Republican Party is dedicated to destroying the middle class, which they have proven continuously over the last eight years at federal, state and local levels. The GOP even has an army of anti-tax advocates who have betrayed the middle class as bogus “taxpayer advocates” committing as many betrayals as they can ever since Bush won his tax cuts for the richest and most powerful eight years ago. Giving taxpayer monies to Spanos class bloodsuckers and other San Diego Republicans has been the worst treason in San Diego history. Indeed, “Utterly insane. That land will be worth billions. Alex Spanos is better off financially than the City of San Diego” characterizes the continuing SDGOP treason very well.— December 27, 2008 12:32 p.m.
Ex-Madoff Trader, Now Running Cardiff Firm, Was Asked by Hedge Firms about Those Steady Returns
Response to posts #5 & #6: Obviously Wall Street worships at the Church of Judas, their cultural role model. By coincidence, in todays L.A. Times, Business columnist Tom Petruno documents this fact in his column "Betrayal of trust a Wall Street tradition" but then a lot of columnists like you have been warning us and warning us and warning us for far too many decades and we never learn. Actually it should be called the Bush-Madoff Ponzi Scheme since Bush has always wanted to divert Social Security funds to fund his own Republican Party Ponzi Scheme to screw Americans out of every last dollar.— December 20, 2008 9:55 a.m.
Ex-Madoff Trader, Now Running Cardiff Firm, Was Asked by Hedge Firms about Those Steady Returns
One of the saddest realities of the Madoff scam is the continuing discovery of how many "people of faith" are ready, willing and able to betray and destroy the lives of other people of their own faith. Wall Street is proving a new saying, there is a Judas born every minute to .— December 19, 2008 4:30 a.m.
Federal Reserve Essentially Admits It Is Fighting Depression, Not Simply Recession. It Lowers Interest Rate Target to Lowest Level Ever
Just keep an eye on the currency exchange rates Don, they are as big an indicator as any on how much more the rest of the world will tolerate the decline and fall of American Capitalism.— December 18, 2008 5 a.m.
Melvyn Weiss, Once Co-Managing Partner of Notorious New York/San Diego Law Firm, Allegedly a Victim of Ponzi Schemer Madoff
Actually Don, all of Wall Street looks like a Ponzi scheme. It's time for Congress to lead the way and set an example that is long overdue, accept responsibility and accountability that they pontificate to others with at least a 25% cut in their own pay and benefits. That ought to start the country back on the road to recovery.— December 15, 2008 1:34 p.m.
Obama will eventually have to tax middle class
Response to post #12: The worst crime the Republican Party has committed over the last eight years is their betrayal our American Military Heroes and Patriots with their criminally negligent leadership and continuous failures in protection, equipment, supplies, training and diplomacy. History has proven far too many times that any political aristocracy that betrays their military and promotes uncontrolled thefts of public funds such as the Republican Party is doing in Washington, San Diego and all over America for personal wealth and gain will fail. While the people of America rejected the Republican Party in Washington this month, unfortunately the San Diego Republican Party still controls the minds of far too many voters in San Diego who have failed to read and think about the lessons of history. “Moon Dust” is just one of the devastating decline and fall consequences that are the legacy of the Republican Party that is impoverishing America today.— November 30, 2008 3:09 a.m.
