Help me rant, then. Sure, but I'd first like to verify some facts. They seem to be in short supply. Why can't we see who has gotten $2 trillion so far? In my view nothing -- absolutely nothing -- about the bailout is as we've been told. Do you ever listen to Jerry Doyle on the radio? You'd find his rants on the $2.2 trillion -- not $700 billion -- bailout both informative and gratifying. He thinks the odds of 5 or 6 major banks failing at about the same time, along with 3 American auto companies, are astronomical. William Katz of Urgent Agenda -- a former spook -- wonders why the collapse happened during the most influential period of the election. And Michael Luscombe of Stratalist-ot says "Spending like this needs to be socially unacceptable and reallyeffect the company's bottom line." I'd rather put them in jail. And Paulson and Bernanke, too. Suit 'em up in orange and send 'em to those dog cages in Gitmo. >> So, what's it like in Canada where you all your problems have been >> solved? > -- > > Why would you give a shit?

Response Alternative #1: You Canadians can be so open and friendly at times. Response Alternative #2: I think it odd you rarely, if ever, mention Canadian politics.
