Surprise, surprise, Razberry tosses out an argument he got from Moveon then changes the subject when it gets countered.

You know, I've never actually went to that website.  Seriously.  I got it from Time Magazine.  I even had a link.  I don't recall changing the subject either.  I'm just pondering why Grumbler does things.  I don't understand why he does things.  Hell, I don't understand why I do things.  So trying to guess what Grumbler means is probably fruitless.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I've never voted for anyone like them, and won't start now. If anyone but Romney gets nominated I'll vote Obama.

Did you vote for McCain or Bush?
You know I did. Neither of them were anywhere near as far to the right as Perry or Bachman.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You got the article on the specifics from Time.  You got the talking point "Gramm created the financial crisis" from somewhere else.

My guess would be some Moveon/MSNBC type web site, the one you use to hunt down all the stories about retarded Republicans doing this or that.

Oh I thought you knew.  You seemed to know "from somewhere else".  I thought perhaps you knew specifically.  Cause I don't.  I told you, I don't do that Moveon.org thing.  Never have.  As for MSNBC, I'm more of a CNN guy myself.  Like you know, where I got the article in the OP.  Honest to God.

Why is this a nerve with you?  I am perplexed.
I am perplexed as to why you dodge a simple question:  did you graduate from college, or not?

Surely if Somebody's third-grade performance fifty years is worthy of comment, your adult academic performance of the last decade is, as well.

Yet you keep dodging the issue.  Why?

I'm still a bit bemused by grumbler's reaction.  He claimed that my attack on Gramm was pathetic. 
Re-read my comment.  You are missing the point.

Probably the place where he got the "Gramm flunked three grades" from.  Basic math tells you that's bullshit, because Gramm graduated from high school at age 18 (a late 18, because he did flunk third grade).  But math/logic stuffs have never been Raz's strong points.  Gullibility and credulity are his strong points.

Nope.  What's it to you, sailor?  Do I have to walk a mile in a man's shoes before I criticize him?

It should be easy to get Gramm's shoes. Tell him to bundle them with some cheap Walmart sneakers.

As Joan pointed out some time ago, the repeal of Glass-Steagall had zero impact on the financial crisis.
