For the record, I have been reading SLOG for the best part of a year now and I find many of Doom's posts informative (especially the links) even though I regularly do not agree with him or his approach (I am also not fond of reading folks dismissing everything he says as a conspiracy). In any case, he is no more bothersome to me than a number of other posters.

I don't know if you noticed, but sgt. doom posts almost entirely in bold and italics. I originally didn't do more than glance at your post @9 because I assumed it was him.

In the future, when quoting an article, you'd be better off using the blockquote tag.

Why Should Taxpayers Give Big Banks $83 Billion a Year?

So what if we told you that, by our calculations, the largest U.S. banks aren’t really profitable at all? What if the billions of dollars they allegedly earn for their shareholders were almost entirely a gift from U.S. taxpayers?

And you shouldn't wear pearls before five anyway.

Otherwise you pearl-clutching biddies would be squawking about the high cost of State projects.

In order to submit the lowest bid, the contractor had to beat all his competitors and source the cheapest material allowed. Would you rather we scrap the low-bid process? Are you okay with project costs being uncontrolled from here on out?

Or does the free market always provide the best solution at the best price?

Remember the additional cuts in the sequester were supposed to 50-50 between defense and the rest? Well, Obama's last proposal amounts are 1 part defense to 8 parts for the rest, including $400 billion cut to medicare and Medicaid. Don't worry though, they are called 'savings' so everything should be OK.

Is this what Regular means these days. Can I not get a product which is not "pre flavored" for me. No, I don't want almond syrup in my latte, and I never will!!
