CNBC Quote: The United States Treasury concealed $40 billion in likely taxpayer losses on the bailout of the American International Group earlier this month, when it abandoned its usual method for valuing investments, according to a report by the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. So, in an effort to make the bailout a bit more palatable, the Treasury says, "Hey we're only going to lose $5 billion in the bailout of AIG, not the 45 we originally thought! It's because the price of AIG's stock is going to rise so much we'll make up the difference! Shhh, don't tell anybody that we'll own 92% of the stock..." |

This isn't a suprise and was called by plenty of people from the get go. The real question ends up being, will any of the architects of these bailouts be held responsible? Yeah I know. Of course not. |

Not sure how being a llama makes one a badass, I'm personally of the opinion that those are separate and distinct categories. It's sheer coincidence I'm familial to both. And, of the others... first, I'd say it depends on the weapon, and second, why the HELL would someone want to puff a q-tip? There's gotta be easier ways to get a buzz. |

Well, he's doing it from 15 feet away while holding a gun (not sure what role the gun plays)... he's probably getting the buzz from inhaling that hard, not the actual q-tip. |

Do you guys really not know what puffing a q-tip is, or are ya'llz being smartasses? The web isn't clear on your intent. |

I have no idea what puffing a q-tip is. I have a feeling its some sort of drug use euphemism. But I'm not hip to all that jive. |
