President Obama Mentions An Energy Company In His Big Speech And It Goes Bankrupt Instantly

Title says it all.

When is the Government going to learn it should stop trying to pick winners and losers? More specifically when is it going to learn to stop taking money from some individuals to give it to other individuals?

I refer to that as the "Tidy bowl touch" on those days that it seems whatever I touch turns to *expletive deleted*it.

Yes, he has a magic touch; he's managed to turn the Presidency into an auto-erotic act.

It's obviously been re-sized, but so was the one of the street guy with the sign.

As for Dell, where does it say Dell?

The one on the top
is the one wit de shop.

Looking at how the shield on the door doesn't follow the contour of the door, especially at the ridge towards the bottom of the shield.

I need that Indian chap's contact information so I can let him know how the BCS Championship game came out.  I here and now, in front of all you witnesses, declare and bestow upon myself the title of "APS Crimson Tide Overlord".  No autographs, please.

The retouched car is on the bottom. The real one is the Milwaukee PD car on top. The MPD squads also have a blue Milwaukee "M" emblem at the top of the rear quarter panel, which I had to remove.

If the MPD logo wasn't so matte in its finish, it would pick up some of the highlights as well.

I guess I shouldn't have chosen a photo from Dell for the first example. ;)
