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.

He was married to Kelly LeBrock. He did something right for some amount of time.

Are you a Buddhist llama? No.

Can you defend yourself from like 8 different people attacking you at once with weapons at age like... 55? No.

Can you puff q-tips with a pistol at 15 ft? No.

Until you are able to say yes to at least 2 of these things, you lose the ability to deride those who can.

I guess he could say all three, but only two are possibly true ;)

Camelids have much right to worship in any manner they wish as you do.

^ fixed.

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.

Puff 'N a Q-Tip(?):


:lol:
Spoiler:
I'd guess it's in reference to what happens when you shoot the tip off a Q-tip.

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.
