Donald and Barbara Romano had been residents of Las Vegas for more than 50
years.

He was a former Marine, a Korean War veteran and a respected member of the
community. She was a loving mother, described as "very kind and generous"
by her daughter.

But the couple, heavily involved in the real estate business, had been
financially crippled by the recession.

On Aug. 20, a Friday, the couple was found dead in the bedroom of their
million-dollar Summerlin home by their housekeeper, Las Vegas police said.
A gun was found in Donald's hand and a note was left near the bed. Both
were 74.

Their deaths are the latest in a wave of murder-suicides in the Las Vegas
Valley this month.

I read the title of your thread, then you post this, "the couple was
found dead in their million-dollar Summerlin home by their

I wish somebody struggling to survive in India could read this and
give me their reaction.

Well at least we can count on Obama and his team of Dem-tards to give the
bank $1000000 of taxpayer money so at least THEY won't feel any pain. A
happy ending, indeed.

The solution is simple. Obama must give more of his "Summer of Recovery"
speeches where he tells us his "spend your way out of a recession with
borrowed tax payer money" financial strategy is working. If Obama only
had a bigger teleprompter, this unfortunate couple might be alive today.

That's enough to buy a bullet and rent a gun, isn't it? You could then
rid the world of yourself.

Actually the bailouts were initiated by the Bush Administration. But don't
let the facts get in the way of one of your juvenile partisan rants.

For some strange reason, this thread, regardless of how silly it is,
reminds me of the blind boy in Slumdog Millionaire.

Being able to see is worth more than all the money on Earth, and he who
doesn't see that is blind. But to see, you must live.

I'd give up my sight for some amount of money...don't know how much, but I
would. It's been going in the last few years anyway. Hearing would cost
more (lots more) than sight (I love music). Don't think I'd give up taste
(like drinking too much).

It's interesting how you wingnuts jump to credit Bush for the bailouts
whenever it's pointed out that they staved off a complete financial
collapse, and then turn around and blame them on Obama when the
subject of deficit spending comes up.

Always have, Bob. I've been trying to point out to you and others on

some very wealthy Wall Street capitalists. Of course, I have been
laughed at. Iceman regularly gets a chuckle out of my "lunacy", and

Please think of what you're doing here.

You know that I think that people on Facebook are nothing more than
Social Climbers.

You know that I think that all this business of "friends" sounds like
a bunch of little teenie girls organizing their little cliques.

You know that I think all of this screams GIRLYMAN !!

Do we get to vote on what questions will be on the test? Do we have to
qualify to vote on the questions? If we don't like the questions we can
vote for, can we nominate our own candidate questions? Do the courts get
to rule on which questions are appropriate? What about the answers? Do we
get to vote on what answers will be acceptable for each question?

Maybe we should have primary elections where we nominate questions for the
test.
