The original point concerned the pope and his dim view of unfettered capitalism as it relates to the poor (prof's words). The key adjective is unfettered. Corrupted, if you will, no rules...sweatshops, indentured/slave labor, price gouging, clear cutting, toxic waste. Your defense of capitalism - on the whole, no adjective - is noted, unneeded, and naturally irrelevant. The kind of idiocy that is all too common in your circle these days, unfortunately.

And by all means keep watching your town hall streaming video on the off chance they slip some Sharia Law in there. You never know when one of those religious fanatics will try to undermine law made by mere mortals.

Knew you couldn't do it

Do what?? Extol the virtues of capitalism? My little 5-person agency posted over 800k in revenues the past 12 months... I'm down with fair-and-square capitalism. You bet.

What about unfettered government?

A friend of mine said there was some confederate flag rally in Richmond last weekend, somebody had a sign that read "Confederate heros (sic) lives matter"...

Even better - according to the Richmond Times, it was a banner pulled by a plane. Pic on their front page..

It's a bad bad thing.

Never said I was making minimum wage. All the figures I gave you guys were 100% real, so much so that you could have went to the residency website and did the math for yourself because my call schedule and everything else was posted for all to see. 9.95 per hour.

As for now, I make more than that per hour, but I would have to figure it up to see if it makes it to the level of a UAW worker.

Hi

Are you still in Manchester?

Glad to see BOJ got a big enough raise to afford internet again.

Does this mean we can cancel our annual fund raiser for him?

Naw. Keep the fundraiser. We'll just donate it to IBs He Man Woman Haters Club instead.

JD disappeared right after I posted that racy picture of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. That is one long shower he's taking.

I just watched the pope's address to Congress. He sounded like he was running for the Democrat nomination.

Even as a motionless old man who read a text and spoke English in a heavy accent, he still had much more charisma than Hillary.
