I think maybe I should become an artist. That way, when all of this is over, at least I will be a starving artist, instead of just a starving unemployed idiot with no retirement.

The US taxpayers are quite literally on the hook for these shenanigans now, after the recent nationalization. So we really should be asking the American International Group to save a few bucks for a while. How about making them all take Amtrak and use the US Postal Service? At least then federally owned companies, and by extension the taxpayers, will get the benefits of their spending.

And AIG sponsor Utd. So they can stuff this loan up their Manc-loving arses as far as I'm concerned. Suck it Rooney!

Isn't it ironical that W came in under a mandate to make gubmint smaller yet one of his final acts has been to nationalize the financial system. The biggest leap this country has ever had toward socialism was made by a GOP prez. The world is full of serendipity, and your bank will soon be on strike.

AIG is too big to fail, and we'll prove it!
