It's metaphorically true, right? For me, the rising of the Old Ones is most easily seen as the crippling of the barely adequate financial regulations put in under Obama after the last crisis. Soon, there will be a new crisis. Crooked, junk capitalism will attempt again to destroy itself and the societies and republics…

I agree. Profit is difficult to quantify in legitimate businesses​. Good luck with this crooked one. I got angry with your article because you equated fraud with murder. I don't have a fortune to loose. If I'm murdered, is the loss of my life only the same or less than the loss of a lot of money?

The man's dead. If you were all in his head arguing about this shit, you could at least be quiet about it for a minute.

Thesis. Antithesis. Synthesis.
Tragedy. Comedy. Farce.
Maybe the problem with the dialect is that it's hard to tell what stage you're in.

"Consistently above market" and "conservative" aren't consistent and the former isn't a real (non-criminal) thing. I wasn't arguing that Madoff wasn't culpable. Fraud is a different crime than armed robbery. Murder is crime that shouldn't be discussed in this context.

I was talking about rich people who chose to invest in a Ponzi scheme. Employees who get ripped off by their employers aren't in the same category.

As the daughter of a man who was subject to "get rich quick" or "get richer quicker than the suckers who don't know" schemes, I think Madoff had a point. The saying is "you can't cheat an honest man." Of course honest people can be tricked in some ways. But honest people don't expect or try to get something for…

The first season of Andromeda was a brilliant space opera with a lot of popularized but still thorny philosophical/religious themes. Sorbo got it dumbed down to negligible, then cancelled. If you see his name as producer, don't start.

OK, you're a pretty bird. It's so disappointing that you're lying as you speak to us.

I'm a substitute teacher working in inner-city LA charter schools. The extraordinary diversity in the quality I've seen makes me think that there should be an authority looking over. Better.

Donnie Two Scoops makes it sound like he's a person who deserves a name similar to his given. I call him The Vileness.

Reported: the invitation was to a closed meeting and Comey wants an open one.

No, that's not correct. Ventriloquists and accordianists are entertainers. Snuff films are about actual or pretended murder.

The Republicans have the majority in both houses of Congress, as well as the presidency. I hope that if they betray their duty to our republic, they'll be held accountable. They're still thinking about blaming everything on Obama, like their leader, The Vileness.

Good idea! They're getting fancier all the time. Give him one that's gold-plated, like the furniture he likes. He can play with that or his phone. If he refuses, Melania will trash the pre-nupt, counting on the income from the tell-all.

Gaelic spelling is phonetic, like most languages. But. Should we actually have to look up the alphabet of the written version of a language whose native speakers all speak English also and together would only make a small town, or feel guilty if we guess and get it wrong? Please just politely correct us, if we're…

If that happens, you have to legally change your name to get it spelled right. Parents who want to name their kid "Kylo" - look at individual letters and their order. If you officially name him Kloy or Koly, that will stick until at least age 18.

Yeah, but that's normal recession that hasn't been caused by regulatory malfeasance plus vast government overspending with no return. Obama didn't go far enough to curtail either, but he did what he could do. The Vileness doesn't see the need for anything but his own gain.

His suit is ugly, but expensive. He can't understand hubris.

Syphilis would show up…If he'd had any real medical care. But he only had that odd doctor. Tertiary syphilis could explain his mental state, as could Altziemers, which he has a familial association with.
