Solyndra, a manufacturer of solar panels which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the US government and a visit by Obama to factory to tout his green jobs stuff, has declared bankruptcy.  We are out the $535 million.  One of the major investors in Solyndra was a heavyweight fundraiser for Obama and visited the White House 16 times.

Well Yi, why don't you take one for the team and cover their costs.  You know, Country First!
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

"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer."
—Hunter S. Thompson - February 3, 2003



Fear is the mind-killer.

Yeah, mister blow my own brains out knows a lot about fear. <_<

Wouldn't suicide suggest he would know a lot about fear? :unsure:

I meant to imply that he did - far too much in fact.

Mostly though I'm just pissed that one of my favourite writers took the cowards way out. :(

Didn't seem to fear death did he?

If he was a Roman general or a Samurai would his suicide be acceptable? What's the difference?

CountDeLogic.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

:lol:

After the past few days, I need to fast a little bit anyway.  It went from two bags of candy Monday to my parents taking me out to lunch yesterday to a pizza today.  I need to slow it down.

Etrade sent me an email about about an IPO.  First time that's happened.

Wonder how much the rip is. :ph34r:

Anyone else catch the leaked Scarlett Johansson pics?  Not bad if a bit grainy.
