Times bestsellers list. They do that for their faves. An appearance with Oprah is sure to help.<br /><br />If you need doorstop, see a conservative near you.

At the same time her book is coming out, the parody comic book version is coming out titled "Going Rouge" <br /> <br /> I have to laugh I don't think she can even read. Knowing the class of people that follow her I have to wonder if they know the difference between Rouge and Rogue and will buy the right one!<br /><br /> which one do you think will sell better? The comic book should far outsell Palings book of lies. If not it will only be because Oprah is going to interview her and promote the book. I predict another Oprah book scandal!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-65692908890199785762009-10-24T14:26:26.763-07:002009-10-24T14:26:26.763-07:00Having medium-size and small banks fail is perfect...Having medium-size and small banks fail is perfectly in keeping with the Reagan and Bush/neocon approach to ruling and economic mismanagement. You reward the rich for being rich (and maybe ruthless as well), and you punish the rest for not being rich (and maybe ruthless as well).<br /><br />Small and medium community banks just get in the big boys' way. Better to drive them to the edge, then let the big banks buy them out at distress prices. Or, if they're in really bad shape, let the taxpayers take care of the losses. Meanwhile, those same taxpayers get to bail out the rich and too big to fail megabanks.<br /><br />There's not a pit in hell deep enough or hot enough for the people in and out of government who screwed the rest of us this way. George W. should be giving his motivational talk to fellow inmates in a federal prison — so they won't misunderestimate him.S.W.

The U.S. lost 40% of its' home equity, then when the layoffs started people were upside down in their mortgages. So as you can see it didn't matter if a bank followed the rules at the time or not. Housing prices were way overinflated.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171776489221716830.post-28825671161254986942009-10-24T07:56:22.862-07:002009-10-24T07:56:22.862-07:00What is with all these tiny little banks?
