Homeowners will have to bid for firefighting services on an open exchange, Goldman Sachs will package fire services market futures into marketable securities, and then they'll bet against the insurance policies on the houses before cornering the market and causing all firefighting equipment to be sent to North Dakota.

Lou Engle via RightwingWatch.org: <i>I heard that actually the day that Governor Perry announced that he’s running for president, and this is not an endorsement I’m giving here, it simply it rained I believe he said for five hours, it poured.
