    Die Fraeulein sind reife, aber ich bin wie einen Diamant hart. Warum ist das?

    According to FreeTranslation.com:

    The young women are would ripen, but I am hard like a diamond. Why is that?

    No. I called the EE and said, "Look, here's what happened..." before he could get blindsided with calls. Then he told me about the time one of his old papers put in a call-Santa-for-the-holidays 1-800 number, and they got a number wrong, and it went to a phone sex line.

    I felt much better when I realized I hadn't made the worst error under his watch.

    I was thinking about this a bit further as the Dow was climbing upward on news of this plan. My conclusion is that this could be a really bad idea.

    All indications are currently out that the Fed will cut interest rates next week. The meeting is set and Bernanke has dropped hints that this rate cut will happen. However, there are other indications that this may not be the last Fed cut. So, what happens when these homeowners decide to lock into the rate that they have now and then the rate drops?

    Wouldn’t the impact be worse, long term, for these individuals to lock into some sort fixed rate that is higher than the rates that are currently set?

    "Reife" also means "soft."

    The local number for Ticketmaster is one digit away from a phone sex line promoting "backdoor delights" (that's what I've been told, anyway).

    About twice a year it appears in the paper.

    Yeah, but Pres. Bush is not allowed to make mistakes, or we get comments like "God help us for the next 15 months."

    Get a fucking life.

    Come on, Hondo, is it too much to ask that the President remember one phone number that's of so much importance, he mentioned it twice in what was billed a major speech?

    For this president, yes. That is definitely too much to ask.

    Everyone should be allowed one mistake, right? Well, I guess this is Bush's. ...

    By whatever metric one chooses, he's long since exceeded his allowance of dismissable mistakes.

    Funny, but Hillary has her own lapses of memory ... such as when someone asks her a question that contains the name Norman Hsu.
