Good one James. Thanks. But methinks with all the stuff that's come out the last couple of days it won't be an article, it'll be a book.LOL

Good point. I mean, the collapse of Bear Stearns didn't even make the cut (maybe next week). But at this rate, we'll just issue a slender paperback every Friday morning--178 pages of Propeller commentary.

Good post, JamesMarcus.

178 pages is OK but no bloviating please. Opining is OK.LMAO

Agreed, opining about opinions is obviously a hallmark of any ol' propeller member.

Bloviating can lead to blistering backlashes esp about important opine's. ( I know this for sure because I've recently suffered whiplash after bloviating about OBama.)

James, How about mentioning me and my presidential campaign,it would be VERY nice!BTW, here is the current status:

$PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT$ As of 3/21/08, ALPHAGNOSIS has OFFICIALLY become the Vice Executive Manager and has replaced bronxbomber! I fired bronxbomber as he was being a VERY bad Vice Executive Manager, and I felt ALPHAGNOSIS could just handle the job better! ranchhand was fired as of 3/20/08, because he was also following the footsteps of bronxbomber. STONERS is leading effectively, and ENGINEER is also doing fine. ~I am still looking for more, message me if you are interested~

AG????AG hell if she ain't into the gin, then she is bringing grease to the movies, just what kind of a campaign are you running, and you fired BB? you can't hold it against him that he is a Yankee fan and lives on past glories, I mean really he is a nice guy, just out of touch with reality. LMAO

IF hes so nice, WHY does he always give me negs! He makes fun of me, too! And the weirdest part is, he started giving me nice comments AFTER I fired him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I just happened to be passing through until my ears starting burning, and I cam in here...first of all, I wasn't fired. I had quit due to the fact that I simply will not work for somebody that's even more nuttier than myself, and the reason I negged voted buckheadd is that his campaign was getting a little bit over the top, and old hat. Other than that, you're just plain nutty.

and HB? Once again I got to remind you that the NY Giants had won the Superbowl this year!!! and that the Yankees had won 26! Count them! 26 World Series, and we'll keep on winning baby! & besides that. You're Maple Leafs are just "mulch" ado about nothing! So roll that in you're Bambu paper, and smoke it boobey.

Sorry Bronxbomber but you are WRONG. No one quits my campaign, either I fire them or they "think" they quit. You can go along living thinking that you "quit" my campaign, when in reality I FIRED you.

Hey dude, he quit...get over it.

Period.

Hey buckheadd! I got a great idea! You still looking for people in you're campaign? Well I have a reccomendation: "CAT7" or more like "CRAP7" since he's so full of the stuff, maybe he/she or it can clean the public restrooms. Seems an appropiate postion for the troll.

PM him, I'm sure he be more than happy being that he'll be in such familar surroundings plus it'll improve on his potty training.

Uhh sure... you can ask him to be part of my campaign... I don't know him as well as you do..

Good article James, but you just hit the extremely high spots. Maybe the economic meltdown will get mentioned next week.

What is wrong with the pastor's comment? What he said was true, how can you expect the God of all creations to bless America while she is waging unjust wars just because she has all the weapons and money? America has been in the killing business ever since she started killing 6 million native Indians to establish the country called America and Israel is the 53 rd state of the USA, where Israel is supported by the US to kill Palestinians for the last 60 years. Which mentally ill people believe that Almighty, merciful and just God will choose an arrogant and impious people to kill innocent people and drive them away from their homes and make them refugees for the last 60 years? Pastor is in fact telling the truth, people with conscience should curse America for continuing to kill people around the world for world dominance and control of the resources of other countries. Now the wealth and power of America are a curse to the world instead of being blessing to the world.

I know exactly what you mean, thanks to leaders with no morals, we have set up a country killing thousands of peoples. But you also have to realize, we have given thousands of scholarships to those indians, we have also given them areas to live, and there are many other things done to recompense.

Another dumb part is that Bush and Cheney continued the freaking problem!!!! Are they idiots or what? If I was President at the time, I would never have gone to those countries. Afghanistan would be a maybe, but definately not Iraq. Thats Why I continously say:

Buckheadd for President 2008!!!

It looks like Transformer(pick a number) may have some mental problems. What kind of idiot sinks a "best of the week" story, let alone makes a bunch of sock puppets to help him out?

What a maroon! Eh Doc?

Must be a disgruntled propellerhead, miffed that he didn't get mentioned in the article. It always surprises me that spammers and sock puppets attack the WIR, that is like painting a big target on your chest.

"Here I am James, delete me!"

Yes, there's something weirdly Spitzerian about it.

The entire Transformer clan has now left the building.
