    why does it matter that he did it in 1995? anybody else would have been successful? that was the one year that losing is somehow worse than any other year?

    Because '94-'95 were years when commercial real estate was booming.

    Losing money on real estate in 1995 would be like losing money selling cocaine in Miami in 1980.

    there are 30~ entries there.

    That is a list of casinos that never opened.

    i found it by googling "1990 bankrupted casinos"

    And if you were to actually look at the list, you wouldn't find a single casino that went bankrupt in 1994-95.

    This is why you should always look at the pages you cite so you don't look foolish.

    a one time bounty based on the importance of the drug should be enough Profit motive

    Look, I agree that Martin Shkreli is an execrable worm, but I think putting a bounty on him is a little extreme.

    But just for the record, how much would this bounty be? Asking for a friend.

    Wait, so you're telling us that a big league con woman instead of the small-time con man?

    Yes. Social and military history teach that when it comes to leaders, self-serving competence beats self-serving bumbling every single time.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to reject BOTH of the con artists?

    It's all about harm reduction. The "lesser of two evils" is a perfectly legitimate way to vote, and has been thus for as long as humans have voted.

    And when it comes right down to it, even among four candidates, I will always side with the one that unequivocally believes that vaccination is a good thing.

  7. I see what you did there.

  8. There is EXACTLY one reason not to have such a picture--no such patch exists. This is a plot to get money by idiots for idiots.

    As an idiot, I would like to sign up for all this money you speak of that's being given out for the giant garbage patch.

    If I get some of this money, do I get upgraded to "genius" status or do I maintain my idiocy?

  9. Why doesn't the original article have any pictures of this giant patch?

    Because it's really a tiny garbage patch. A complete loser garbage patch. A weak garbage patch.

    When I'm president, we'll have a garbage patch that'll make your head spin. A big, classy garbage patch that Americans can finally be proud of.

  10. Not sure about exotic matter, but if there's a Nobel for studying exotic dancers, I've got it locked up.

  11. This pattern of three first names

    I've always admired people with three first names. My family was poor so I only got the one.

    do you think it is worth mentioning the servers have a folder on them called "pay to play" or a spreadsheet tracking banks that got TARP money's large donations to top Dems? Or a file called "Wall Street money by committee" or a file tracking donors to Hilary's campaign?

    You're very close to the truth, but you're ignoring the obvious. You honestly believe that a guilty party is going to put evidence into a folder called "pay to play"? Or, "Wall Street money by committee"?

    I'm surprised there's not a folder called, "Evidence against Killary". You've been had. Again.

    Before anyone says these are fake, people have been dialing the numbers in these leaks and verifying that the contact info is legit.

    The contact info of major corporations and donors is public information.

    I invite people reading this to go take a look at the actual documents that Guccifer2 has released. I'll bet you'll see what's wrong with them right away. Go ahead, look at them now. I'll wait.

    This Guccifer2 leak is what Assange was supposed to release at 3am, but then Assange noticed the same thing: the docs are a hoax. That's why there was no October surprise this morning.

    Some people still have tape decks in their POS cars and use their phones instead of a $300 stereo upgrade.

    If you spent $300 on a "stereo upgrade" in your car, then you're probably a little simple.
