    Well the Bush Administration will leave the US looking like a Strong Box broken open and looted !!! I am sure the Repukes are ready to decamp to Dubai, Saudi, or wherever the Bush have purchased an enormous ranch in Soouth Amrerica, Paraquay I think, with their ILL GOTTEN GAINS and RIDE OUT THE ECONOMIC STORM THIER MIS-MANAGEMENT AND OUTRIGHT LOOTING HAS CAUSED !!!

    Saw this once on Top Gear.

    How the hell is anyone supposed to know when to stop or go?

    1 question:

    It really looks more like a Christmas tree.

    Peace on earth, but proceed at your own risk.

    It’s like all the guys on CNBC giving market advice. All over the map.

    I applaud the government in this case for saving tax payer money by reducing the need for about twenty mounting poles and all the extra wire to run the lights. Other than that … it is pretty silly.

    You can wait here in the sitting room, or sit here in the waiting room….
