Once again, you resort to crude insults. And if I respond in kind, you accuse me of being impolite. I know it's hard to be shown to be a fool, but you bring it upon yourself. So, where's your brilliant philosopher friend Carl Cuseo to jump to your aid with some pithy (if not moronic) platitude?

I await your next unsupportable opinion, and the sure-to-follow obscenities.

> It is not I who have my thumb on the scales . . .

Then it's firmly back up your ass, eh....

was there some emoticon I should have used to denote sarcasm?
Not that I'm aware of.

So, put up a graph from late October to today to show the trend. If you can select whatever time period you want, then you can make the numbers show whatever you want. Your earlier claim was that the recent downturn flies in the face of Bush's economic/political policies, so by your logic, the two day turnaround should be credited to him.

At any rate, Paul, you apparently don't agree with your fellow Alaskan of the same initials. At least he is consistent and not an unbalanced ideologue like you. It is not I who have my thumb on the scales . . .

P.S. @NA, was there some emoticon I should have used to denote sarcasm?

@na, ......I know which digit.....

Here tom, ....here's your 'rally'....




Ha ha ha.... (what an ass)

it's notable here, tom, that you evaded answering any of the questions put to you in the last thread. http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=13850

Specifically in post 99483 (and your evasion is compounded by your inability)

Your bullshit is exposed only for what it is...... mere tom-fool-ery....



(better pay attention, lest your thumb slip off your 'scale' of justice.... )

Three consecutive triple-digit losses in the last five trading days with only two two-digit gains in the NASDAQ and DJIA means I've got one digit raised...

ARP: Coltushie, Alaska. Just hours after the Dow Jones closed more than 50 points higher today, noted economist Paul Zipferbrains said, in an exclusive interview, that our president, George Bush was responsible for saving the American economy. "I held off on my assessment after yesterday's NASDAQ jump," said Zipferbrains, "but today's numbers simply clinch it. The economy is back, as anyone can see from this two day trend."

Zipferbrains, who has been known to lay all of the country's troubles at the White House doors, went on to say that now there is some good news, and to be consistent, all credit should go to the president. "In fact," says the noted intellectual and economist, "I now see that the reason there have been no terrorist attacks on US soil in the last few years must also be credited to the president and the Republican party. What a fool I've been for ever thinking otherwise."

With that, Mr. Z indicated that he now has great faith in the Bush Social Security reform, since today's economic miracle shows the great wisdom of the Bush administration's policies. "However, if tomorrow's markets lose even one point, all bets are off!"
