Having been floor crew, watching the gif man throw glitter makes me extremely annoyed. I hope they laid down a tarp.

Apparently! I think fondly of the days when Ross Perot hogtied the nation somehow, and we all turned on the tv and watched him show us by CHARTS how we were sunk as a nation because of our overwhelming debt, which did look overwhelming. It was excellent and interesting. Why is this beyond the Democratic Party's capacity now? It's funny tho, that the debt didn't matter very much because Clinton won that election (with Perot's help) and he mopped up the debt with GROWTH. Being a Democrat. In GOP hands it would have been nothing but AUSTERITY and Santorum saying "we aren't handing over all that money to blaaah people," (they don't buy groceries they just buy drugs.)

It's sort of like that if you drive through the 105 and 110 overpass in south LA. Not actually flying but close.

We really need to pass laws against buying back stock. Or laws against using stock as CEO compensation so that buybacks aren't as lucrative.
