Asscroft is indeed a total jerk. No wonder he's (far as I know) the only politician ever to lose an election to a dead man.
He needs to go. fwiw, I don't think he made any friends on the Commission today.
lol, that creep Ashcroft just testified. It is scarcely to his credit that he tried very very hard to blame everything on the Clinton administration, and when that failed, on members of the Bush administration.
And he pretty much called Acting Director of the CIA Picard a liar. That should have interesting repercussions.
OT: Very very long article about 9/11, but well worth reading:

He always says that. I've also informed him that the Nasty Bashers have been telling the marks that there isn't any short for at least four years now. He ignores me too.
I like his statement that ... "everyone is in agreement that a short exists" ...
Hey, someone really should do that!! Make a little model of the Cave, like the ones we used to do in Social Studies in grade school, of, say, coffee plantations in Brazil.
BTW since it's a weekend perhaps some folks would like to build a model as to the size of the short using our cave as a basis.
I'm sure that with computer imaging we could fit in all 30K shareholders, along with their zillions of certs.
Don't be silly.
I wonder if the idiots on the RB Board would finally understand a few things if those facts were posted there?
Did you read Larry's posts on the Zoo Board yesterday? I'm picturing him in a sitcom, playing Incredibly Annoying Guy.
lol, think hippity hop.
Yeah. They've changed the company's name to "Serac". God only knows why.
LOL!! I love Ebay, but what on earth would I do with radio tubes?
In what sense is a plain vanilla forward split a "dividend"?
Under the terms of this stock split, TASER International's stockholders will receive a dividend of one share of common stock for every one share of common stock held on that record date.
lol, they can start with "our group of professionals", "don't wait", "triple your money", "unique opportunity", and of course....TO THE MOON!!
"We're using new theories of textual meanings to unravel the deep linguistic features that will enable us to detect scam proposals no matter what surface form of language they use," he says.
lol, absolutely not. Our Merry Prankster (it's not me) got an stiff email from an SEC enforcement guy asking him to call immediately. Prankster found himself in a conference call with the SEC agent and his staff. First thing they did was read him his rights.
He pointed out that it was an April Fool's joke. They grudgingly accepted that, but weren't happy, though eventually they let him off the hook when he assured them he had no intention of taking money from anyone.
And then on Friday they called back, pretty much begging him to take the site down because they were getting so many irate calls from people who didn't Get It.
Some never will. I'm sure this will keep recycling periodically, like the Confessions of a Basher.
Yes. Even the intelligent ones are trapped in their own delusional thinking.
lol, looks as if another cert pull's coming up. They never tire of games.
Also of mild interest: li'l brainstem posted in the morning that there's be "news" "later".
More insider stuff.
Sure he is. If he weren't he wouldn't have bought this pig in the first place, and certainly wouldn't have continued to buy.
I wonder if the name really is Hall's idea of a joke. That "reverse glacial split" really is funny. Coincidence? Did Hall think nobody would pick up on it?
Bet none of the True Longs did.
His dedication. His gullibility.
How come AlanC gets to know inside information. What makes him so special
I give up. Why change name and cusip BEFORE a merger? What's the point?
hmmm....
what kind of name is Serac
Cares? "Cars" with an extra "e"? Actually it just sounds made-up.
From Google: "serac: an isolated block of ice that is formed where the glacier surface is fractured".
hmmmm again: Dutch site...
http://www.serac.com/
Come to think of it, AlanC is among the missing today.
lol, very little action on the Zoo Board. Most of the True Longs are.....absent.
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/4/prweb114618.htm
Ooops, you all beat me to it...
snicker....
The lawsuit claims Hughes and Smith lured customers with assurances of a 150 percent profit through "risk-free" trades on the European financial markets....
You CAN con a con.
lol, I think they're all already in "next week" mode. It's pretty clear by now that nothing is gonna happen.
Full pop? More likely they were just so glad to sell ANY of those junkers that they didn't ask any questions.
I think they probably were selling at full pop and greed let it go thru.
hmmmmm.....a True Long in disguise?
But Wendy's at least (unconsciously) funny. AlanC is a pompous fool.
I feel that li'l brainstem is a truly nasty person. Manipulative, full of himself for no reason whatsoever, and just, well, creepy.
I absolutely agree about jmc. But Larry is so.....maddening. Like water dripping on a stone...
Is ANYONE on the Zoo Board more annoying than Larry? Can you imagine what it would be like to have a conversation with him in real life?

More on USXP and naked shortselling, from the deposition of Hugh Beck of the SEC:
H. False Statements Concerning Naked Short Selling
62. A September 23, 2003, Universal press release suggested that "naked short selling" could have artificially depressed Universal's stock price. [Exhibit 46]. In early October, Altomare indicated in an interview that without the downward pressure of "naked shorting" Universal’s share price would be much higher. [Exhibit 47]. In a subsequent interview with Dow Jones Newswire, Altomare stated that Universal provided the SEC with 11,000 to 12,000 pages of documents in response to a subpoena requesting documents relating to short selling of Universal shares. [Exhibit 48]
63. In fact, Universal’s total production of documents in response to that SEC subpoena was only 295 pages, none of which provided evidence that investors or brokers were intentionally failing to deliver Universal shares as claimed by Altomare when he claimed there was naked short selling of the stock.
64. Also, it appears that at the time there was only limited naked short selling of Universal stock. As of September 30, 2003, the total "fails to deliver" at National Securities Clearing Corporation were only 370,929 shares or .067% of Universal’s 552,027,232 shares outstanding on that date. [Exhibit 49] In addition, none of Altomare’s statements regarding naked short selling disclosed Universal’s issuance of nearly 400 million Universal shares pursuant to the illegal funding scheme for Universal detailed herein whereby Universal stock was re-sold into the market.
For all of Beck's testimony, start here:

The IRS just never gives you a break, does it?
Whadda deal!!
Maybe around 80 billion? Or am I underestimating that?
Bet it never gets off the drawing board.
Bet it runs out of gas....
Even the CMKX True Longs seem to think this is an idiotic idea. And what with Mark Neuhaus's little problem with the SEC, I rather doubt that cars and drivers are gonna be perceived as symbolically appropriate.
What's so ridiculous is that the Fluffster is still claiming that the SEC's investigation was really "harassment".
I guess suing the SEC turned out to be a bad move! lol!! Good God that's dumb.
There's an Investrend article today; the usual illiterate gibberish. But they seem to have turned on Altomare. They point out that his recent pronouncement that the company had $200 million in revenues isn't reflected in its SEC filings. Not exactly whiz kid research, but better than Financialwire's usual standard. They don't, of course, quote the SEC's findings about USXP's embarrassing lack of any naked short position.
