When Geithner told those big bank bankers that they had eight hours to save the American economy, he was not kidding. And he was right. Of three types of recessions, worst is one created by economic mismanagement. We know anti-Americans use their rhetoric to justify conclusions. These idiots even tried to put the Social Security fund into stock markets. Because wacko extremists said that is good. That proved it was good.
Only recently have many economic parameters returned to where they were in 2001. For example, the stock market (before a Chinese inspired downturn) finally got back to where it peaked in the third month of George Jr's administration. America only recently reached the point, considered by economists, as full employment (5%). Of some 220 recessions studied worldwide since WWII, worst types are those created by outright economic mismanagement. We were literally looking at another 1929 crash. But we did not make a mistake that Hoover made in 29. Bernanke stated that quite bluntly. History now proves him correct. We did not use monetary restraints. Instead we did TARP (criticized by wacko extremists who wanted to make Hoover's mistake). TARP, et al averted another 1929 recession. But jobs are a lagging indicator. It takes longer - long after a recession ends - to restore jobs. |

On the London tube(subway), when taking the escalator you stand on the right and if you want to pretend it's stairs, you climb on the left. Always, no question, that's how we've always done it.
But that slows traffic, causing congestion, limiting capacity. link

I don't stand on escalators here. I climb them. And if you stand, you should stay to the right so I can pass you. So I was going to protest this article. But I actually agree with it because what it is really saying is that ON REALLY LONG escalators, very few people climb them, so everyone should just ride so that you can make use of both "lanes".
Looking at my own experiences, that's true. Rosslyn station has an extremely long escalator, and I don't usually climb that one. It's about 100 feet tall and takes 3 minutes to ride. I bet fewer than 5% of passenger climb that escalator. In other stations, it's more like 70% who climb escalators. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Unless you're traveling with someone, who wants to share a stair with a stranger on an escalator? Somehow that seems weirder than sharing a seat on a bus/subway. Probably because seats are limited, but there's always a free stair coming up momentarily on an escalator.

The thing necrophilia and blow-jobs have in common?
Not a lot of backtalk.

Marry a cousin? Oh, like Rudy Giuliani, Edgar Allan Poe, Jesse James, Jerry Lee Lewis, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, H.G. Wells, Charles Darwin, John F. Fitzgerald, Johann Sebastian Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Saddam Hussein, and the Queen.
