Comments by Doug Pascover

Well I hope the elites get soon so they can explain it to me. The folks who keep leaving these comments have my common-as-dirt American head spinning at how simple things can be so hard to admit.

But if you will accept gentle assistance from a simple working American, we're all in this together, after all; I'm guessing the comment is being reported as racial because it began with "Black Americans..."

Great explanation, thanks, Cherny. So under current rules the importance of calling a default a default is to do with the ECB being able to buy sovereign debt?

My name is Newt Gingrich and confound this message!

Now there's an investment. Can we work in "I don't apologize for this slogan?"

Incidentally, I believe Orangeburg is the hometown of the governor, although the family attended Gurdwara over the border in Augusta. (Speaking of dog whistles.)

KS, I understand that as Americans, we feel strongly about this. Show us a poet and we'll give him a miss.

Faedrus, You're giving a bad rap to the city that produced Merle Haggard and his music. He may not be the best guitarist since Duane Allman but his son, I insist is. This is something J. Alfred Prufrock would have agreed to.

In Nevada and Florida, his marital history puts him on the right side demographically, too.

Just to be a little punditty, I'd be surprised if the hispanic portion of the GOP wasn't near 50% and in Nevada under 10.

Buttonwood, can you straighten us out on this? This seems to be part of the story we're not clear about.

Really, DJ? That could work. Hilarious summary.

Hedgie, I can tell you right now I didn't mean the Bears.

And I actually do disapprove of infidelity, actually.

Forsize and Faedrusm sorry I didn't see the expanded results.

Forsize, Not much worse than a poet, really. If we're gonna talk about this seriously, I would draw a line between immoral behavior I don't approve of and criminal behavior that the apparatus of government and constitution would then be obliged to protect. No serial rapists, pedophiles, convicted frauds (without unindicted frauds it's a pretty empty ballot.) OK to philanderers, meanderers, creationists, communists, bigots, bums, boozehounds and purple-eyed rogues.

OneA, I'm just trying to be consistent with my own beliefs. The GOP can tend to itself. I'll be the hypocrite next time.

Jouris, as far as I'm concerned, you might as well be sacrificing a baby to Baal at ground zero.

Jouris, I think they were asking private bondholders to accept the write-down. I'd assume the Bundesbank holds only German debt and so forth.

Man, OneA, that's a great insight. I never thought of it but you're 100% right. Mitt Romney is the GOP's version of John Kerry.

This post goes along with what I've been thinking about it. I think it's poor citizenship to confuse the activity of electing the government with expressing approval for people and their lifestyles. Give me a polygamous bisexual poet junky who wants to streamline the federal system and I'll vote for them, so long as they don't root for the Patriots or the Cowboys.

What qualifies Mark Penn as worth listening to? By all accounts he was a disaster in the last election particularly because he seemed not to understand our political system or the voters.

You people make me sick.

Maybe. But that's pretty second-level after putting their own banks forward for a 50% write down.

Maybe Romney can designate Gingrich to debate on his behalf? Tag team sorta thing.
