This guy is a deadbeat. The landlord had every right to get rid of him. The landlord should be forced to let him live in their place for free?

This guy just missed the joys of living in a murderous dictatorship. They should have sentenced him to life in North korea, not 3 years in Iraqi gaol, where he will have to emerge into a free society and be reminded of Bush every time he gets to vote, or…

You would have to be nuts to work for AIG now. If you did a great job and reduced their loss (and the taxpayers' loss) from $166 billion to $165 billion, not only do the politicians think you should not be rewarded, but that senile buffoon, Grassley, thinks you should…
