Oh! Great Portabello sandwich here - it is grilled and then on toasted ciabatta bread with spinich & pesto mayo - but what makes it really yum is it's - JenBro Jul 10, 13:34 2
- ok, fine, I'll go nab something decent for lunch. even though it's getting *hot* outside. -- nm - b. Jul 10, 13:38 1
  - note: like 90-something with more humidity than my wilting-flowerness prefers. not, like, y'all poor folks last week. -- nm - b. Jul 10, 13:41

One Direction, already the gayest band on the planet, has another indicator. One member instagramed a photo of another naked in the shower - MDH Jul 10, 13:30 1
- The Scissor Sisters think they need to tone down the gay a notch. -- nm - nubby Jul 10, 13:38
You know who else had offshore bank accounts? - Loyola Jul 10, 13:29
Why am I turning off waters for my employees late in the afternoon? I'm such a softie -- nm - CQ Jul 10, 13:24 3

  - well, they have about 30 pools each. -- nm - CQ Jul 10, 13:26 1
    - HIRE ME!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:26
CY and I are kicking it in the Cantina -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 13:06 1
- ST just took over this b*tch -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 13:16
Are there legitimate, non tax evasion reasons for having an off-shore account. -- nm - TWuG Jul 10, 13:05 32
- yes if it is in Denmark - Danedukenuuk Jul 10, 13:10
- [deleted] 24
  - I'm interested in the answer, so whatever info you have time to share would be appreciated. -- nm - TWuG Jul 10, 13:12 1
    - two easy one are you own property and/or employ works outside the US -- nm - decline Jul 10, 13:14
  - yah. I just started to list those I know about and it was taking too long. I googled with some of the terms and found this blog entry from someone - b. Jul 10, 13:11 20
    - here's another list, this from investopedia (there are lots of these out there, turns out). nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 10, 13:14 18
      - a. this blogger is talking about living expenses not $165 million cash b. hedging foriegn currency is betting against america - zeitgeist Jul 10, 13:20 16
        
        hmmm...even *I* think your second point is bullsh!t - znufrii Jul 10, 13:23 12
        
        It's worth pointing out that several Democrats have used this talking point. (I realise it plays on an Obama slogan, but it's still cynical) -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:26 1
        
        I read some things I wish I could unread while looking for the links. - b. Jul 10, 13:31
        
        *snork* -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:23 9
        
        and as much as I would like to make the argument that running for president holds someone to a different standard - znufrii Jul 10, 13:26 8
        
        Not just the offshore accounts; but actively hedging your investments with other currencies. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:29 7
        
        What counts as hedging? Diversifying? Or, say, actively pulling your cash out of US assets because you expect the currency is going to fall? -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:36
        
        i missed what started this conversation - but don't most governments invest in foreign currencies? -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 13:31 5
        
        The Obama campaign is going after Romney for offshore accounts. (And yes, most countries do) -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:34 3
        
        oh, that's dumb. -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 13:37 1
        
        The idea is to build on the impression Romney is rich and out-of-touch with ordinary Americans - Roger More Jul 10, 13:40
        
        I don't care for the phrasing of the ads - it's along the lines of "do *you* have offshore accounts?" -- nm - b. Jul 10, 13:37
        
        I'd hope so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:32
        
        There's no reason why US investors shouldn't be able to diversify their investments outside the US. It's not betting against America. -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:22 2
        
        Kiva is anti-America!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:23 1

- Yes. - spamlet Jul 10, 13:06 4
  - What would some of those reasons be? - TWuG Jul 10, 13:11 3
    - His investments in the Caymans are common because investment funds want to shield non-US investors from US taxes. - spamlet Jul 10, 13:17 1
      - Thank you. I don't doubt he's in full compliance with the law. -- nm - TWuG Jul 10, 13:20

    - it is also exttremely rude to the rest of the class -- nm - peglegpete Jul 10, 13:19 1

  - It will be when I reference it tomorrow! -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 12:58
  - sure. that doesn't mean it has to be a *good* one -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 12:54
  - I've seen that Loki/Downey/Hulk meme before, but not about politics. -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 12:53

  - [deleted] 3
    - just saying that in general, it seems to be a foregone conclusion once you get to that point - znufrii Jul 10, 12:58 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        like I said, I'm fine with it either way. -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 13:04
