Aquatic apes? Lawl. Bremner is great, TED is awesome, but someone screwed up letting that woman bang on about aquatic apes.

Bremner u wimped out with Obama:

Where's his birth cert.?

Nobel Peace Prize my ass,

hired Wall St lobbyists to rob American tax payers & savers!!!

never kept election promises - continued warring & Patriot Act - he's a liar!

And Bernake is a crook working for private FED shareholders. He knows what he's doing.

You know what's going on Rory, don't wimp out on us.

the little clip at the end was hypnotizing

[shashintokyo]

Gordon brown closed down and stole from a perfectly solvent Icelandic bank, which took away my life's savings... funny? hell no. Gordon Brown is a thief, nothing more than a common criminal, and after he stole my life's savings, I would gladly pull the trigger on a gun with a bullet directed at his brain. No problem. I would gladly kill him.

damned good clear minded thinking. Didn't take sides just pointed out how damned funny the whole thing is in retrospect.
