I love my country but after last week and the S&P dropping our credit rating, it is now frighteningly clear that our entire system is flawed. I have little to no faith that our government will turn this ship around.

But hey, thank God they decided to get that bug up their ass about poker. That has really given our economy the boost it needed.
and to that , i give it an AMEN.
