		<description>Having lived in New York State most of my life, I know that you aren&#039;t usually allowed to just hang out a shingle and &lt;em&gt;call&lt;/em&gt; yourself whatever you want.  For certain occupations, you have to have a license and be registered to work in New York State.  Did these so-called &quot;financial geniuses&quot; at AIG&#039;s Financial Products division have to have some kind of license to do this job?  If so, take it away.  If not, why &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt; anyone hire them?  They obviously suck at what they do.</description>

		<description>Personally, I find it very disturbing that the Right Wing is so emphatic in their defense of the Marines in Haditha who shot and killed a number of women and children (along with, I&#039;m sure, some actual bad guys) and then lied and said the civilians were killed by a roadside bomb.  Why are they being hailed as heroes?</description>

		<description>Well, dbadass, I suppose you&#039;re right, that it&#039;s not really sporting. But how are these little ones gonna learn the ways of the world if we spoil them when they&#039;re infants?

besides, fred g returned, but he didn&#039;t try to dispute my logic. This proves conclusively that fred garvin is a liar.

But I have to give some credit to RHF. He&#039;s given fred g such fits that fred has forgotten his Keith Olbermann obsession for a few minutes. I&#039;m sure the break will do him good, since, as alpuz notes, it seems like fred&#039;s train has done gone round de bend.</description>
