    Many thanks,

    Who cares!? The DOW just hit a new record high! Unemployment at 4%, as low as it ever gets. We’re cooking with gasoline now!!

    Now if we can just get the pathetic NASDAQ to do something, eh?

  4. MT Says:

    The NASDAQ should move now that TubeYouLube sold for 1.6B!

  5. Craig Says:

    MT, nah… that’s “internet” money… it doesn’t count. That’s what crashed the NASDAQ in the first place. We need some improvements in real tech to get the NASDAQ kickstarted again.

  6. MT Says:

    Correct, sorry my sarcasm did not come thru.

    Some people make me sick to my stomach. Especially the police in video clip #1 at the second site you linked. Does slapping some poor random guy around like that make him feel like a really big man, or what? Does it make him feel important that he has that power over another human being?

  8. Craig Says:

    Puniqe, yes… that guy is a classic sadistic bully. Same with all the guys who stood around laughing at the humiliation of the victim.
