waking up at 10:00 next to a 6'5" mini-skirt clad person called "Divine" with an empty bottle of Wild Turkey does not qualify as "Technical Difficulties"

@8 - at least they didn't surrender 20 meters into the race. That's a first for them...

Maybe someone put soap in the water.

"A good question. To use a political science term, the proximate -- the immediate"

That's exclusively a political science term?

Anyone over there at Merrill know much about these "Compooter" things to hit Alt-Print Scrn?

Then you can just send that image over the interwebs and people can see it way better than if you just take your 1985 Polaroid Instamatic and snap a pick.

So, essentially, Merrill's that crackhead on the corner.

A little hypersentive and sanctimonious, if you ask me. (No one asked, but eff it.)

Bess's comment is clearly satire, as, realistically, Maria Bartiromo's birthdate ISN'T historically significant. So to try an draw a correlation between a satirical, insignficant event, and a tragic, extremely significant event, just as justification for some kind of manufactured moral outrage, is insincere and fraudulent.

That the "It's 9-11, I have to pay homage to that date in everything I do today" thought isn't in the constantly forefront of someone's mind just speaks to their own mindset. It has nothing to do with how they feel about what happened, or how they respect the "sanctity" of the memory of the event.

Some of you may be spending the day entranced in rememberance and/or mourning, others have other ways of recognizing what happened. They're not being "disrespectful" to it, or you, in any way.

Be honest - do any of you really believe that the post was actually implying that Maria Bartiromo's birthday is more historically significant than the September 11th attacks?

That's me with the "Raise Rates" vote.
I'm hoping a conversation takes place that goes like this: "Raise the rates? Did you ride the short bus in today? If you can find me even ONE person thinks it's a good idea, we'll do it."
