KIT, Dispute what you wrote? What? That the stock market fluctuates up and down? Why? Do you or do you not dispute what I wrote? How about looking at those figures and noticing that in the precious 5 months the stocks market had shown a consistent upwards trend where the 6 months before that the trend was consistentinly downwards? Aren't you happy that the DJ is improving? isn't that what we WANT?
Dude, dude, I thought you LIKED partisan rants. Wasn't gramps letter one long partisan rant? You didn't seem to have a problem with that. What does President Obama have to do with Gramps grand-daughter being a spoiled brat? Who the fuck says NBC is not a legitimate news organization any longer? You & Pred?
