Participant[quote=afx114]I understand the the purpose of these Tea Parties is to evoke the historical significance of the Boston Tea Party, but wouldn’t it be more representative of modern times to have a High Fructose Corn Syrup Party instead?[/quote]
Well, since there wasn’t really a tea party at Boston, but a dumping of tea into the harbor, I’m not sure it will be very popular with the swimming fraternity in La Jolla when confronted with Great Whites on a sugar rush.

April 14, 2009 at 8:13 AM in reply to: How come no talk of the 2nd wave of mortgage resets (ie. option ARMs) in 2009-2012?!? #38048434f3f3f
ParticipantThe Option ARM reset argument faded into the background, as the recession took the driving seat. Some say lower rates have lessened the effect of resets. However, there has been talk of a large new wave of foreclosures starting this month (April 2009). BTW the Glen Beck video was a classic. Did you see the CIA operative in the corner of the screen with a syringe just as the theory that Treasuries are now full of toxic loans was being hammered home? I felt a distinctive cool breeze blowing in from the East π

ParticipantHere we go again with simpleton bias. First they changed the way fuel efficiency is measured so the Smart car suddenly doesn’t look so efficient anymore, and now they’ve done a crash test that shows it up in the worst possible light. This little car, is a Mercedes project, went through very rigorous testing, and has been in use in Europe for years. While you might feel safer riding an elephant in the jungle, it’s going to dump a lot of s*** in your back yard. Aside from that the probability of this type of accident happening is remote, and can be more effectively avoided simply by upping the driving test standard, more road safety awareness, and improving road markings, signage etc etc. For example, there are 13 times more fatal accident in the US than the UK, which has a very tough driving test, and government backed road safety awareness schemes. The days of the gas guzzler are pretty much numbered. To me it is incredible that a failing auto industry so out of touch with reality, is still wielding its sword at shadows.
