Ah, haha, yeah that'd probably be why (oh the ironing, owning myself in the ownage of the year thread). Eww, that means I actually have to go to a P&N thread?

This year, it's no contest. I present to you glugglug's thread,

Anyone notice what gold & oil prices did on Friday?

Originally posted by: glugglug
For most of the day, the prices ($/ounce of gold & $/barrel of oil) were perfectly flat - didn't vary by even a penny.

This seems impossible to me, and thinking about it more, it just screams of manipulation. That and the MSM couldn't repeat enough how the lower gold & oil prices (& higher stock prices) Thursday & Friday were due to renewed confidence & a possible market turnaround.

Am I the only one thinking this is the work of the President's Working Group On Financial Markets??

How much more debt did the American taxpayer just acquire to short the gold & oil markets in an attempt to hold the price back below the psychological $1000/ounce barrier?

fritolays learned his lesson to stop posting after getting owned thread after thread. The only thing he can post and get away with is his NCAAF stuff. Otherwise its just emo QQness about how he doesn't know if he should go to work or email his coworkers or unzip his pants.

Just a reminder. The ownage has to be on the OP and be somewhat self-inflicted.

I don't think that restriction should apply since it would disqualify epic threads like "Will it takeoff".

Let's not let these affluent, idiot "progressives" to ruin the country again. Wake up Obotsmas, your boy isn't electable. Obama will get swiftboated by Republicans, only 100x worse. McCain will win in a landslide if he were to run against Obama. Wait till they run ads with "God d*** America" all day long with Obama's face on it. Middle America will all vote for McCain.

With that said, his speech was great. I agreed with most of it but then realized he wouldn't have had to do the speech if it weren't for his moral compass. He's always been a politician, and if you thought he was anything more than that you are just another member of the disillusioned masses.

Clinton is leading in:

New Jersey
New York
California
Arizona
Alabama
Connecticut
Oklahoma
Colorado
Utah
Missouri
New Mexico
Arkansas
Delaware
Minnesota.

Obama is only leading in his home state of Illinois and Georgia and Idaho.

Its time to start thinking about the General Election.
Obama should concede very soon if he wants to have any future in the Democratic Party.

Full disclosure, I was a hillary supporter and prior to Iowa was pretty certain of her ultimate victory, and up to supertuesday thought she might have still had a shot.
