      There less people looking for loans in fear of getting the can at work and faulting on the loan. It takes people spending money to keep everything afloat. Hell I'm not sure if I'm going to have a job come 2009 (my contract gets renewed). I'm one of those people that is vibing off the media, and having doubts of being employed in 09.

      And the more time I spend on this site the worse it gets

                    I bet they'll probably give Obama about year before they start bashing him.

                      Whats the difference between a recession and a depression?

                      That was just TOO funny (and true).

                      Here's something interesting. If you can't afford to keep your wakeboard boat then just sell off monthly ownership.
                      I saw this add on Ebay where you can buy June or July "for life" of a 2005 BU.

                      http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Boats_Power-Motorboats__2005-Malibu-Wakesetter-Own-JUNE-for-Life-Unlimited-USE_W0QQitemZ110317643245QQddnZBoatsQQadiZ2795QQdd iZ2831QQadnZPowerQ20Q26Q20MotorboatsQQcmdZViewItem QQptZPower_Motorboats?hash=item110317643245&_trksi d=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C65%3A12%7C39% 3A1%7C240%3A1309

                      Here's what the ad says: YES THIS IS A REAL DEAL I AM JUST A LOCAL RELATOR/HOMEOWNER THAT KNOWS CASH IS KING RIGHT NOW AND I NEED TO RE CAPITALIZE MY BUSINESS EVEN IF IT MEANS SELLING PARTIAL INTEREST IN MY FAVORITE TOYS.

                      Their are no liens or loans on this boat. I would much rather sell a portion of this Awesome Boat than dump it at some low ball price.The only fees would be split the annual insurance equally,mateliance is approx 500.00 annually at Malibu split equally,storage is provided by me during, this boat will fit in most garages.

                      Yes you will be on title. I am only looking for Responsable Partners. I will require a credit Check for all partners. Feel free to call me and check me out I am motivated but not stupid so no kooks please!

                      OTHER MONTHS AVALIABLE Call


                      No kidding...I can actually buy December?
                      What does "mateliance" mean?
                      If someone buys June, and someone buys July, will meteliance be more or less after someone blows the engine or forgets to put the hual plug in?
                      If you do a credit check on me, can I do an IQ check on you?
                      Define Kook? Do you mean Cook?
                      Storage is provide by me during what? The month its my turn to use the boat?
                      Boat will fit in most garages. Thanks, that's important to know. My garage in Florida is kinda small.
                      Why is July more expensive than June?
                      Whats a low ball price? I think his balls are so low that its constricting blood flow to his brain somehow? Just a thought.

                      Why do recessions seem to have a dizzy effect on con-artists and the porn industry.

                      After the shock of utter insanity, it gave me a good laugh.

                      Dear Real Deal, Can I use my timeshare boat in salt water?
                      Can I run over my Xwife and collect on the insurance? Will you clean it for me? Sorry, the pole got in the way. Is satisfactioin 100% guranteed? Why are there no pictures of the boat? Are you sure its a Malibu and not a Tige?

                      Since you own the boat out right......why not get a small loan on the title and just rent the boat out on a daily basis, thus removing all meteliance issues.











                      A recession is when your neighbor gets laid off...
                      ....a depression is when you get laid off.

                        OBAMA WHO?

                        I wrote that on the back of a large machine going to Michigan for everyone to read. It was a 52' flat bed and my machine was all the way in the back. The truck driver told me it sure raised lots of hell by is fellow road warriors all the way up. But in all honesty, why did America elect a nobody from nowhere with no experience? Does America think President Nobody can actually fix this economy? This insanity is like hiring a college graduate to fix GM.
                        Tell us what we want to hear........and your hired.
                        The annual salary is $400,000 for President Nobody. With all fairness, it would be reasonable to ask Mr. Nobody to work for $1 for the first year (Just like Rick Wagoner, CEO of GM), then we evaluate his performance. We will then know if his speech was all bullshit, good intentions, or credible. What do you say Mr. Nobody?

                        The truth is his black *** would be thrown to the curb if he applied for a real job as CEO to any fortune 500 company.
                        The board would look at him, then look at his resume, then call security. Security would come in and escort Mr. Nobody to the back alley door and point to the sign across the street that says "bullchit artist / comedian wanted". Oh! Wait! The board members are all black, hispanic, fat lazy gringo's and union members....... My Obama, Lord and Savior....YOUR HIRED! Save us from the big bad wolf. Out comes the red carpet, Mr. Nobody take a few steps and off he goes, flaping his big ears into the sunset, looking down and saying "Look Daddy, I'm a "somebody" now. Now I'm I in deep do-do, I better go find a bunch of smart people to get me out of this mess. Afterall...I've never been in the military, run a business, balanced my check book, mowed my yard, or wiped my own ***.......I just did what Senator Kennedy and my wife told me to do. Hell, I've never even been to Iraq until just recently when I learned it would help my popularity.

                                Well then........there you have it. NO experience necessary.

                                When you have heart surgery, be sure to ask for the Dr. that just graduated Med school.

                                And of course, take your Tige to the local garage that hires kids fresh out of high school.
