[mackywacky00]

They forgot that I joined that day on YouTube!

[godzilla2878]

[NaturalBornKilaz]

[notscooter952]

I would like some of those drugs myself. "Just say no." ...excellently put together.

[Chick6517]

Whoa what a video I cannot take my eyes off the screen! haha this is very interesting stuff to know about.

[ld0ne]

lol i love this shit i've been watching every morning for the last week so glad i found this although you should've ended on a positive note like DAVID WRIGHT HELPS USA WIN AGAINST PUERTO RICO AND ADVANCES TO SEMI FINALS GOOOO USA!!!! WOO HOO :D sorry i love baseball

[archaedemos]

you really get everything the BS machine spurts out in about 100 seconds ..  still kinda amazing..

The News folks just dont get it.

[gcalvanetten]

a bad morning to stop sniffing glue... LOL

[doc7474]

that's a line from the movie "Airplane"

[gcalvanetten]

Now that you mention it :D

[mclev]

No taxation WITH representation apparently.

[invercauld]

Is this supposed to make any sense or am I only supposed to see a flurry of images and sounds without understanding any of it.

[gcalvanetten]

It may be confusing at first. Try to listen to what's been said as if it's not snippets but one coherent story. Chances are you'll be amused in no time like the rest of us. :)

[corsikaa]

would you make any sense of it if you watched the whole shows? ;-O

[litllebk]

Keep tha bitchin in the kitchen....

[monalisasmiles4you]

"Go commit suicide, then!" 0_0 yikes

[infernosilver]

so... anger & outrage then? eh, well, back to my glue...

[dddiegopan]

they are fighting to the last penny, a bit protectionist don't you think ?

[FDASARO]

St. Patrick was Italian and English

stupid Irish trying to claim it's their holiday

but I guess I'll give it to them since they don't have anything else to celebrate their devoid culture

[fancychance57]

imo  it looks like they are ready for us to riot...

[MooseOfReason]

Who's that weatherman they keep using for their videos?

[EuthanizeAmerica]

Who is the lady in yellow on Fox and Friends?

[MooseOfReason]

Might be Jill Dobson.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Let's hear it for the 'pitchfork mentality' and 'mob rule'!

Seriously, it's about time.

[boots920]

Look if your Ya Hoo government can invade a sovereign country with lies and deception (Weapons of mass Hamsters)

They have the power to take back the taxpayer's "bonus" money for being a fck up. The fact they don't means the frickin government is up to no good.

[squidb8]

Sure they are legally responsible to pay out those bonuses. But not with taxpayer money. So I think Obama is right. AIG should pay those bonuses back to the government.

Until then the bank should get the cold shoulder.

"What''s that you'll not be able to survive the year without a little help from Uncle Sugar? Fark you give us our money."

[bobhardball]

Do something instead of whining. ´Cause whining will not bring our hard earned money back, you conservative and liberal jerks!!!

[Daydream2142]

stop whining. that's what you get for bailing out those greedy bankers.

[JordanMBucher]

Who's the weather guy that TPMTV have been using on the 'day in 100 seconds'?

Also, who thinks they should up the time to 'Day in 150 seconds or 200 seconds'? This is really entertaining.

[winner3000]

I agree...this is the highlight of my otherwise dreary and depressing day!

[tickhound]

Clowns to the left of me,

Jokers to the right...

"It's the Fed, stupid"

[zapponsalvia]

New Fox morning bimbo is cuter than old Fox morning bimbo

[Alderon714]

Look, look, over there; OVER THERE...

See we didn't vote for those bail-outs (v1.0)... huh? O we did did we... hmmm

Look, look, over there ->>>> over there not here.

[WKaliberr]

AIG can suck my dick

[Richardgwm]

Mob justice is still justice.

[voyeurdug]

Retention bonuses - if that's what some of the bonuses were - should not be paid, BY DEFINITION, to anyone who left the employ of AIG. That's shooting fish in a barrel. Repudiating the other bonuses may take a bit more doing... but not much more. It's not rocket surgery.

[wervasdeferens]

UAW had to renegotiate their contracts and make concessions, why not AIG fat cats?

U2 and Green Beer !

Happy St. Patrick's Day

[JBeatty17]

Today you shall refer to the President by his Irish name, Barack O'Bama.

[glaked23]

Arlen Specter.  That was pretty funny but true

[UGOTDAJACK]

America is a vary weird country.

[SandorFne]

If Richard Shelby is truly angry, he should be pushing the government to take over these bankrupt financial institutions and sort out the good assets from the bad, so they rejoin the free market, instead of living off taxpayer money.

[coattail2]

I find it amazingly dissappointing that this big "firm shock" was not avoided. 100% tax on the bonus is wack, they don't deserve the bonus but there is very little legal room to take it away.

This is a good learning experience, sadly - that might be the only good thing that comes from this.

Long Live Veblen!

[CarryANation]

+1 for Veblen quip

[atm94404]

While they may not be able to legally tax these bonuses, it would be entirely within the IRS's right to run an extensive audit on every return these clowns filed for the last decade. I imagine someone working for AIG who gets million dollar bonuses has probably made some pretty creative deductions or missed paying capital gains, etc. Why not let the IRS's bureaucracy and byzantine tax code work FOR the average taxpayer for once?

[junkforkaryn]

gee, it's only 3pm here in L.A....goodnight!!

[oldtownkid]

outrage, shenanigans, shock, anger... how about bullshit !!! All this phony outrage over AIG when they announced that they were gonna go ahead with the bonuses as agreed in 2008 contracts.

[smlrmchn]

ahhh wink wink

[smcmillan88]

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing gulue

[GlobalSufi]

"I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue"...

Excellent insight!

oh, and Sorkin is as dumb as a fucking doorknob!

[EricBoisen]

Man why does the day have to be over already?
