Sure did but as they said in Godfather 1:


Clemenza: You know, Mike, you're gonna turn out all right. You take a long vacation, nobody knows where, and we'll catch the hell.
Michael: How bad do you think it's gonna be?
Clemenza: Pretty goddam bad. Probably all the other Families will line up against us. That's all right. These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one. You know, you gotta stop them at the beginning.

Gotta get rid of all the bad blood on this site!

I've been a lot, but not on any Saturdays, and the weather has been cold and/or rainy on too many days.

Should be nice this weekend so hopefully the crowds will be OK.

Sumitas called an entire population a racial slur, me a fag who eats pig penises and said he was tired of us a-holes and was leaving..

Dividends are not the same thing as capital gains. I don't know of any middle-class people who live entirely on dividends. Plus, retirement accounts aren't taxed the same way regular dividends are. Raising the taxes on what is primarily an income source for the wealthy is not going to trash the middle class or retirees.

And these aren't new tax levels; they are pre-Dubya tax levels. Because Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy have worked out so well for the economy.

I can't even begin to deal with the "ban speculators" rant. Sure, everyone wants government out of their lives/business, and then they start yelling when people take advantage of gov't staying out of their lives/businesses.

I heard that straight from Obama's mouth... and I live in Chicago.
