Eight years ago, when I was but a wee pup right out of high school, I worked at a dead end job pressing burgers. Pressing burgers for overweight people on shoe string budgets who couldn't afford the burgers I pressed unless they had a coupon, for minimum wage.

It was a thrilling pastime.

"You charge how much for a single?"

"Two forty-nine, ma'am."

"I've changed my mine."

Brothers to Man.

It’s been so long since they’ve walked among us, seventy years and they have returned to grace their fellows of the grasslands, forests, deserts and tundras. For millions of years they were ever present. In truth we’ve never known a world without them, nor should we contemplate one. During a time we still fled up into the trees in fear of predators they watched. When echoed our phobic cries of the night and rages against the rains they heard. As with humanity they...

My response to Huffpo's Obama and Biden Go Back to a Losing Message by Joseph Romm

Meanwhile, ordinary people can't even get a loan with a reasonable interest rate, websites like [URL="http://www.breadmarket.co.uk"]breadmarket[/URL] have seen an increase in traffic because people who used to qualify for normal loans now can only settle for bad credit loans.

Why hasn't there been any prosecution of any of these reckless dealings?...
