What really gets me is the a@@holes at AIG partying on our dime. While Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average sweat and bust their butts to survive, these (I've run out of insults - jackasses? pigs? slugs? vermin?) whatever just continue with the corruption and greed and excesses. That is what our money is bailing out: the very people who destroyed our economy are being rewarded with our money for doing so. And then they're throwing that away. IT IS INSANE! Why aren't people storming the Capitol? Does the government have to burst into our homes and urinate on our faces before we do something about this? This is exactly what spurred the revolution of 1776. Why are people taking this?

Party hearty! And the mayor wasn't invited? PT Barnum never said it, but it was attributed to him: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Well, every American tax payer just got a lollypop stick shoved up their... AHHH-CHOO!(sorry about the sneeze). Some bailout plan!
