Re: Adnohr
hi. I see you have your last episode of little sh!t up, but I am reluctant to read it because it is such a good story I don't want it to end, and my wife feels the same way!

Wow, Muley. Betcha you stubbed your toe getting out of bed this morning! When it happens to me, I'm 'irked' with pretty much anything (or anybody) else for the rest of the day!

Re: re cpklapper: what is regulation Q? I agree Soros irks me. see BOHICA.
Regulation Q was the regulation that prevented banks from raising the interest rates they would pay on deposits. As such, it prevented the credit market from reaching equilibrium during the Carter years and was a main cause, besides oil prices, of the stagflation during his Presidency. I undertook a letter-writing campaign to Congress and The Washington Post to remove it and, finally, thanks to the bi-partisan efforts of Ted Kennedy and Ronald Reagan amongst others it was finally removed, ending stagflation and ushering in the Reagan prosperity.

The list grows larger as one gets older
Soros and Obama are on my current list. The only reason Bush was not on my list is Soros. On the other hand Ted Kennedy was never on my list, even with Chappaquiddick(sp?). People forget that Adlai Stevenson accidently killed a girl with a gun when he was a boy. Ted Kennedy was a great help when I was pushing for the end of Regulation Q. Generally, as a Populist, the more partisan politicians end up on my list, especially those that malign the people by calling them sickly (Carter), puerile (Obama) or the like. If they are the victim of absurdly vitriolic partisan hatred, such as Bush, they are spared an entry on my list. If they are the fomentor of such absurdities and make a career of destroying banks and plundering the people's money, like Soros, they move to the head of my list.

Re: Sam444
I think everyone could make a list of things that irk them. My list has changed with time. I used to have neighbors that used my driveway as if they owned it, fortunately no longer. That wasn't irksome, but enraging.
