Excellent quote from Congressman Jim Moran

FYI, here is a link to a project (ending in the next 7 hours) on Kickstarter that has been wildly successful.
Part of that success is because of how well the project was presented, the stretch goals and what you get for funding it (plus the quality of the work being produced of course)!

There are many examples of similar, incredibly successful crowd-funded projects.  This is only the most recent that I’ve been interested in personally (and wish so much to have had the money to back it now).

Yea that happened on an episode of Bonanza. It was Hoss in his jimmy’s getting a ham sandwich. Little Joe rigged some bottles so he could force Hoss to stay on his diet and win the $1500 bet at the Flapjack eating contest.

You could use the back ground music from “Pearl Harbour” for the Japanese. (I know the movie is weak)

You know what I mean? Everytime a scene from the moive cuts to the Japs this awesome drum beat kicks in. The best part of that movie is the scene that has a far away shot of Hawaii then a one Zero flies into frame and then another and another until the whole sky is filled with Jap Zeros and that deep, epic, drumming is going on……tight. I get goose bumps watching it.

Now that I’m thinking about it, in addition to the drumming there is some flutie type piping going on. It sounds very “far easty”

Woot, go CC!

I think it’s more a matter of chosing your industries and your companies right now, not just blindly investing in tech sector like it was in the 90s.  That means people have to work to make their money grow and they are not choosing to do the work.  Thus their money is shrinking and thus they are claiming it’s an aweful bear market!

I know I’ve taken a wash on a few stocks because I screwed up on my homework.  But it was not the market’s fault, it was my fault for believing the wrong set of data.  I’ve also made a killing on some WAG stocks (Wild Assed Guesses).

To me, chili does not include spaghetti.  That’s just a Yankee thing to do.  :-)

@F_alk:

Thanks for clearing that up…but, well the true patriot needs no flag to wave, but stays in his country and helps when the cr*p is piling up ;). Of course, he/she can warn before, but from an artist i would be disappointed if that warning was not metaphorical or otherwise creative.

You are welcome.

I enjoy artistic metaphors…Lewis Carroll comes immediately to mind.

Though here in the US the “STARS” do things like…

Steven Spielberg digitally remove the weapons, from the government officials in their decontamination suits, when he rereleased “ET” a second time. I think it odd that he did that in an anti-gun move. The idea was that they had guns so they were ‘bad guys.’

and

The “Charlie’s Angels” movie was made with the ‘good girls’ not carrying guns. Yet they defeat the ‘bad guys’ carrying Uzzies, etc… The original Angels were packing heat.

I say we come up with a set of rules and restart this topic (Its a fun topic).

For Example:

German Airforce still intact?
German Navy and Uboats still intact?
Egypt Conquered?
What about Japan?

SILENCE, LIBERAL! No one is CONSERVATIVE, but ME.
