A good futures trader wouldn't care if it went up or down...as long as it moved enough to make tidy profits.

I dropped off some clothes at Goodwill yesterday.

I'm bankrolling them.

Subby is overly impressed by a $20,000 donation.

Bingo.

Yep. Some rich people actually realize there has to be a middle class if they want to stay rich, or at least not live in a fenced compound with mercenary guards - you can't put a price on that.

That is the lifestyle I am aiming for.

All told, my wife and I have donated probably $1,000 to Occupy Seattle in money, supplies and materials. I guess I'm bankrolling them, too.

In other news, someone actually thinks they're financing that thing.

Bankrolling..that word does not mean what you think it does.

Carlin once said the poor exist to scare the shiat out of the middle class, and to keep them showing up at their jobs every day.

Now the poor is where the middle is going to end up if this corporate insanity isn't reeled in...

So let me get this straight....

He donated money to a magazine for nonspecific purposes, and the magazine ran a series of ads at the beginning of the year, BEFORE the Occupation happened, which was unrelated in any way to OWS. So ... somehow this nonspecific donation makes several leaps of logic to be a "direct bankrolling" of the Occupation?

And I'd like to take her there, rather than this train
And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the colonies
We'd play croquet behind white-washed walls and drink our tea at four
Within intervention's distance of the embassy


Oh I love that record....

What a billionaire-funded protest might look like

Most often reality is left stranded while the driver speeds off to the next command that has come down from on high...

people need to realize that ows' message isnt about crushing millionaires and punishing hardworking successful people. its about crushing the political and economic influence of people and corperations that buy and sell the wealthy and successful like trading cards. people that can literally crush your entire 401k and sell your daughter into slavery with pocket change.

yeah but if it gets bad enough reality comes by late at night and kicks in your front door and holds your family hostage while you go to the bank and withdraw all your money.

and the guards better be paid well or they will turn on their masters. then again... there are more guns than people in this country and the poor (read: middle class) have the majority. push us to the edge and when we fall we will grab a hold of the rich and bring them with us. the US will only be defeated from within, and the upper .1% (cause the 1% doesnt control shiat, its the .1% that have everything) doesn't understand that they are creating the perfect atmosphere for defeat of our nation.

Wat?

Yeah as a matter of fact I "bankrolled" a dollar shop yesterday.

By purchasing some mascara and anti-diarrhea pills.

Is he related to Santos L. Halper?

Also, trolling headline is trolling, tardmitter. Good yeorb.

Big date?

Somacandra: This was in fact the plot of the famous Monkees episode (new window) "Monkees Mayor."

How is it that I never favorited you before today?

If the pills don't work, you won't be needing the mascara.

would you believe it was two-tone RED mascara!?

Not sure why Fox and Co keep trying to make it seem like the republican party is against the occupy ws group. I know alot of repubs who are in favor of them. Historically, wall street has been mostly democrats; not that political party should be an issue in this case. Both parties have bankrollers who abuse the system to make money. Bankers and Lawyers = Democrats; Oil Tycoons and Industry Execs = Repubs. Therefore, both parties have something to gain by stopping the abuse. The divergence comes when the question is asked "how?" Repubs wants smaller government that is easier to provide oversite to, and dems want more strict regulations at the federal level. Of course, as long as both wallstreet and oilstreet are in charge they could care less as long as there is chaos. Chaos creates more opportunities for people with the money to look for them.

Kittypie070: two-tone mascara

how.... how does this work?

It's a double package by Max Factor called "Vivid Impact," with two
different shades of a specific colour.

One is a very dark [in this case, burgundy] primer, and the second
lighter, very definitely rose colour with added shimmery crap in it
is a highlight.

I thought mascara in any shade of red at all was so darned unusual
that I couldn't resist grabbing it. I'd never seen such crazy stuff before.

They also have a brown/gold combo which would look simply great
on someone with medium blonde hair.

/end makeup threadjack

_{the pills are because I got stomach troubles right now}

$20,000 bankrolls several thousand people. That's some serious economizing.

"Dance now, my lazy smelly hippies, dance the tune that I call! MWAHAHAHA!"

Don't worry subby, I got your joke.

Well educated middle class people are lazy smelly hippies??
