Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 07, 2010

As would we all, Danae. As would we all …

Feed em to the dogs. or chickens(small dinosaurs)

The dinosaurs are getting fat.

Lars, do you have a ship big enough to transport a few over here?

Isn’t that a pretty rich diet?

How about a few politicians too? (But we wouldn’t want to give the dinos heartburn.)

The dinosaurs may be gone, but we do have active volcanoes.

This would work with politicians also; we have lots of critters here that need feeding………..

:) yeah…Road trip to Lars’ planet!!! Let’s go everyone!!

The dinosaurs aren’t all extinct. We still have crocodiles and alligators…

Nah, it wouldn’t work. Simple and effective solutions just aren’t popular enough.

why do we need to go there? y’all can vote can’t ya? elections are around the corner and it’s time to quick picking ‘the lesser of two evils’ at the ballot box, don’t y’all think?

I have a few names for the dinosaur feed, oh yes!

I hope the dinos have some Tums. lol

Mars is Utopia - I want to live there.

@Becca

Nope, those are reptiles, and dinosaurs were not reptiles, no matter the similarities. Actually, the similarities are quite superficial. Much like saying cats and dogs must be one in the same because they both have fur and give live birth. victor1234 has it right, birds are the closet things we have to dinosaurs, and some biologists, refer to them as small, feathery dinosaurs (or in case of the ostrich big (at least to us) feathery dinosaurs).

Can we add incompetent managers to the list of dino feed?

Looks like theyll need to put their T-rex’s on a diet and exercise program after this is all over. Too much rich food.

Where’s Jurassic Park when you need it???

YES!!!

Banking should be the most boring job on the planet, second only to governing.

WoW!!

Can we send Rush, Beck, and co. with Lars the next time he comes around?

hear that?— that is the refreshing silence enjoyed if all political gasbags were fed to the dinos

At last a solution to keep all those greedy ba…. bankers in line. (I had to censor myself)

Don’t forget the hot sauce.

I can see a huge problem with diarrhea coming up.

Brilliant, Lars—but what on earth do we feed our corporate dinosaurs to??

Maybe this is how the dinosaurs became extinct in the first place…

throw them in a pen with a bunch of wild hogs they will eat about any things and it woulld be more fitting as the whole bunch of wall street bankers are a bunch of hogs eating at the trough of public help

After the dinosaur eats and crunches the banker’s body, it will eventually spit the clothes, shoes, toupee and whatever out of it’s mouth and swallow the rest down to it’s stomach. Is that nice for the dinosaur to do that, eh?! I think it is very gross!

Too bad Wiley won’t let us refer to the politicians, too! But I agree, the bankers are the higher priority.

The banks are paying the money back ahead of time with interest. How are GMC and Chrysler doing? Funny I haven’t read about them

Lewreader - as far as I know, the banks are paying back the federal bailout money as fast as they can so that the government won’t be able to prevent them from giving their head honchos obscene bonuses.

Pretty noble motivation, huh?

Among other restrictions, I’m sure. There’ll be tighter restrictions coming up, whether or not the banks pay off their loans.

@nighthawks: You obviously haven’t paid attention to the recent pundit hackery going around or deliberately ignoring it.

Dinosaurs may be extinct here, but there are plenty of wolves… almost one on every doorstep.

Wow, Vex. And we know all that by the bone structure since we don’t have any dino DNA (unless the stuff in New Mexico passes muster) to test it against. We are certainly the crown of creation. :)

@williamhasig: It isn’t the right-wingers who are at the root of this. The one who did away with the federal regulations keeping banks from doing the things that led to the current economic crisis was a left-winger. But I personally blame EVERYONE (myself included) for the mess. The bankers weren’t the only ones buying six dollar lattes from Starbucks, two-hundred dollar marguerita machines from the mall, or a new car every other year. Sure, the bankers who didn’t practice common sense and lent money to folks with poor or no credit (and often no jobs!) are a huge factor in this mess, but let’s be real. If we want a scapegoat for all this, look in the mirror as much as in the banks. As for the bankers who really did steal our money…it’s too bad throwing people to the lions went out with the Roman Empire. We need some gruesome examples of what will happen to folks who abuse the system.

I’d wring the neck of the guy who tipped that first proverbial domino by de-regulating the banks, but that might be a mercy. Have you seen what he’s married to!? Ye gods!! It’s more of a punishment to let him live.

Yeah, let’s beat up on the bankers, the guys that provide the capital for investment in new companies, new industries, new ventures that provide the new jobs we so desperately need. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

If you believe that, I’ve got some beachfront property in Death Vallley I want to sell you.

Isn’t that how the dinosaurs died off????

@freeholder1

Bone structure does seem little to go on doesn’t it? But that’s what some people do for a living and I’m sure they’re better at judging that than either you or me or anyone posting here. Not saying that what they are saying now is never going to change, probably will. But for now, those are the agreed upon theories. After all, all of science is technically just a theory, some theories we have very strong data for (such as the law of gravity) that can prove it almost 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt. (please keep in mind the differences between the every day use of the word theory and the actual scientific use of the word). At any rate, you must excuse me if I go with what the people trained in this field of study are saying, because it is the best we have to go with!

As far as humans being the crown of creation… well, I think the earth would be a much better place without us. As far as I can tell we’re just screwing everything up for every other living thing on the planet. But, we are here, so got to make the best of that too!

Wouldn’t work. Undigestible. Regurgitated at worst. Like Chinese food. Hungry for $ an hour later. An unending amount of sperm to impregnate. Goal orientated results. Money for nothing, chicks are tasty too… Maybe the Judicial system could help? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….

I wonder if those dinosaurs have to worry about their cholesterol levels?

Just wait until President Palin takes office in January 2013. Then watch the economy take off as she solves all our problems. Her slogan ”Change you can BANK on” will get her 535 electoral votes.

I so wish we could do that here…

Athens did this. kinda.
