so double devil?

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

two negatives make a positive, so it could be a good thing...


or we could pick the lesser of two evils, which would still be a bad thing....
Muzby, you know with me, a negative NEVER makes a positive.

OK, who tripped over the cord and pulled the plug out ???

probably the same guy who did this:

SHARE orders worth more than Sweden?s entire economy had to be cancelled after the biggest ?fat finger? trade ever.

The 40 trades, worth 67.78 trillion yen ($706 billion), were cancelled in Tokyo before they could be executed, Bloomberg News reports.

The largest order was for 1.96 billion shares of Toyota, which would have been almost 60 per cent of the company. Other shares ordered in the trade included Honda, Canon, Sony and financial group Nomura.

My latest addition to the work discussion board about Achievement

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit - a very great comment by former US President Harry Truman.

It was later slightly reworked by Ronald Regan, who did not give any credit to Truman for the comment. It's odd that Regan didn't understand that his act of plagiarism entirely contradicted everything that the quote so strongly embodied.

It must be remembered though that Regan wasn't regarded as being a very smart man. Margaret Thatcher once quipped "Poor man, there's nothing between his ears."

I'm not aware of Thatcher's qualifications in neuroscience, but if she's right, then it's is a tremendous feat of achievement that Regan was able to become a US President at all, and that his reworking of Truman's quote isn't a contradiction but a remarkable achievement in science.

Reagan is one of the reasons America is in the shitter. Almost completely screwed their economy.

Reagan was an intellectual lightweight and his anti-government rhetoric set the foundation for America's current shithouse economy. Trickle down economic theory is a joke. Since Reagan, America's GDP growth has not been matched at all by wages growth. That is what trickle down economics gives you.

This is Reagan's baby:

Combine that with the structural deficit he caused and you have an economic vandal. The only reason he has a good reputation is right wing idiots think he defeated the Soviet Union.

Bullshit. A long line of US presidents going back to Woodrow Wilson ruined the US economy. The worst was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but they've all been bad.

Great minds think alike.

FDR was not the worst by any means. Were elements of the New Deal less than perfect? Yes. But Trickle Down has done so much more damage. Damage that is unfixable for the forseeable future and will only get worse.

BunniesMan and Drew have pretty much covered what I was going to say which may be a little scary. Although he may have been more senile than stupid.

Funny story about Reagan was when he was an actor he wanted to join the Communist Party and they rejected him because he was too flip-floppy.
