You beat me to the update!

Yep, Looks like the Platinum card is going to be gone. They recently stopped offering Companion Airline tickets, which is one of the main perks I got it for.

Michelle’s wrong. Doesn’t she know that Sarbanes-Oxley has stopped all of these kinds of things? We’ve spent billions making sure that there is complete transparency in everything we do. Thus, companies can’t do stupid things with their money anymore. It’s illegal.

Sheesh…

There are now nearly 40 companies receiving or requesting taxpayer bail-outs. I am reminded of Lincoln’s description of all the requests for government money in his time – “There are too many piglets for the tits.”

Wait a minute… why don’t they use their American Express Card to pay off any debt? All they have to do is pay it in full on the next billing statement JUST LIKE I HAVE TO DO.

Hope this destroys their “credit rating”.

Not anymore. If they lose business, the government will just give them more bailout money.

In every industry. The NY Times has no readers – it will be bailed out. Nothing of importance to liberals will go without.

Yes… the Dems will make the NY Times the Pravda of the USA. Everyone will get a daily copy, courtesy of our tax dollars.

Call it Fairness Doctrine 2.0
