Mr Gupta is just another 'fall guy'. The real culprits are Goldman & McKinsey, with whose silent blessings, insider trading goes on all the time - till someone gets caught, of course! And then holy sanctimony kicks in & hellfire & brimstone rain down on those who get caught. What a pretentious fiasco!

True, the faltering pound has been taking a massive pounding for years on end, but will remain as their national currency, no matter what. However, this is not the case of the crumbling euro.

As the sick & frail new kid on the currrency block, the euro faces a whole array of inbuilt structural roadblocks for its very survival. Especialy in its role as the tenuous & unsustainable link among such a disparate crop of nations, all facing enormous fiscal problems & shortcomings of their own.

Baring a miracle, the crippled euro is apparently stumbling headlong to its ill-fated & inevitable end.

The irony is that Quebec has one of the lowest University tuition fees in the whole country! How insatiably 'entitled' some are!!

So gut-wrenchingly true. No wonder America is in such a fine mess..

Mit bragging outlandishly about 'him & Bain', is so nauseatingly juvenile, that it makes me shudder to realise how abysmally low his standards & principles have fallen. Is that all he has to offer America?? Lord have mercy!

This is nothing but yellow journalism. For decades, innumerable innocent foreigners in the West, have been treated far worse, for going about quietly, minding their own business & doing nothing illegal. How come you never made a federal case about those, TE??

PS: That low-life, white trash rapist, deserved what he got.

Other contributing culprits/accessories in the obeisity connundrum are 'politically correct' social mores that discourage third parties from making honest observations, or question the (lame) excuses that obese persons make to justify their abnormal condition.

More & more obese people refuse to take any responsibility for their condition & latch onto the "victim" bandwaggon, at the drop of a pin. They live in delusional denial, blaming everything but themselves for their grossly overweight status.

Juvenile pride comes in the way of honesty & enlightenment & passing the buck is the national passtime..

Exception is the GOP primaries, where dog eats dog. I was refering to their mindless partizanship, all other times. It's almost always 'Party over conscience' & scrouples/honesty be damned..

You are dead right: the unbridled hypocracy & blatant double standards of the western powers, should leave us all squirming with shame.

So true.

As long as Americans continue to unashamedly glorify & singlemindedly pursue greed, pride & selfishness, the lofty position you dreamily allude to, may never be filled, sad to say..

The ballad of El Paso, takes on a sombre twist. Marty Robbins must be squirming in Roses Cantino!

You're probably right, not just the loathing of imbecellic Bush, but fear of the ruthless & vindictive Chenay (among other negative vibes & disillusionments), must have helped seal his decision to relinquish citizenship.

"The longer you keep churning out this production-line crap, the more audiences are going to like it—and need it"

That's the tragic paradox of Tinsel Town. I never could, or will figure this societal visionary anomaly. Obviously there's something fundamentally wrong with audiences that prefer safe, predictable, run-of-the-mill mediocrity to outside the box celluloidal genius.

What a collosal waste of talent & opportunity & consequent loss of entertainment value to society. What makes it even more unfortunate, is that it's entirely self-inflicted! What's wrong with us?

The Spear must have been a lion in his most recent previous life & reincarnated now, as a rampaging Caveman! I wonder what it is about those despotic, megalomaniacal (African) leaders that moulds them so? Has it got anything to do with the steamy climate, or just BAD genes??

"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican," is exactly what's wrong with Right America. Blind, arrogant & fanatical loyalty to the Party - no matter what - is what has unmade & dehumanised them.

Fairplay, commonsense, honesty & rationale go out the window, in the face of the rigidly binding code of (rightwing) loyalty. Party members who have morphed into obedient, mindless robots, no different from the religious fundamentalists who scourge our land.

Scary & troubling..

I see no light at the end oy the 'euro' tunnel..

True, but the doubt lingers, urged on by all that's starkly unfolding in the EZ..

Much as I hate it, sombre Mayan prophecies on 2012, spring to mind. End of an era/world, as we know..??
