    Yup, the rich people aren't building stuff just for fun, are they. They are building because there is a demand for services and products. "If you build it, they will come?" Not hardly likely.

    Hello again,

    Let me know when you're done, so we can talk about what's REALLY happening...

    Here's one... Rush Limprod believes that Hollywood CONSPIRED to name their really, really BAD guy in the new Batman movie, Bane, just so they could SMEAR Romney...

    Yeah, that's a good one... It's as real as this thread.

    Yes, that Bane thing got my library juices flowing. So I Googled. Dictionary.reference.com says about the homonym (word that sounds like it) "bane" --

    Bane noun
    1. a person or thing that ruins or spoils: Gambling was the bane of his existence.
    2. a deadly poison (often used in combination, as in the names of poisonous plants): wolfsbane; henbane.
    3. death; destruction; ruin.
    4. Obsolete . That which causes death or destroys life: entrapped and drowned beneath the watery bane.

    Origin: before 1000; Middle English; Old English bana slayer; cognate with Old Norse bani death, murderer, Old Frisian bona murder, Old Saxon bano murderer, Old High German bano slayer, bana death; akin to Old English benn, Gothic banja wound

    WG, your friendly librarian here: I'm guessing there was method in his madness and a dark bit of Aspie humor in naming his company "Bain."

    Rush has it wrong obviously.. Bruce Wayne /Batman is a 1%er ;and Bane is Obama/Occupy Wall Street . So all the progressives will be rooting for the villain to do what he did in the comics (spoiler alert)

    The thread, MY thread, is real. If you want to discuss Limbaugh you can start another thread.

    That our imperial president believes our only hope is government is a real issue. This is a guy who thinks being "my brother's keeper" is confiscating from one to give to another.

    This is a guy who thinks a "freeloader" is someone who works hard for a living, pays his taxes but doesn't spend his money the way Obama wants him to or dares to try and keep some of it. And this is in order for the government to take care of more actual freeloaders.

    That our president diminishes personal sacrifice and personal responsibility in essence gives us no claim to the rewards of our efforts, which is one more way to justify the government taking it, is an affront to everyone who has sweat and sacrificed to feed their families and eke out a living.

    Instead, we all need to be obedient little serfs, stop being "freeloaders" by refusing to give everything back for the collective good, and when we're 42 maybe, just maybe if Obama sees fit we can allow him to build us an internet business just like Julia.

    No, just one with a clue that doesn't lead from behind and bottom up.
