I am disappointed in Charlie. I was betting my last dollar that he would take the extra steps to take over Sprint. I believed this was his cheapest way to make massive moves into the wireless world. I win some and I lose some. This is one of my losers.
Charlie may just go after CLWR big time. If analysts are correct it owns about 30 billion dollars worth of spectrum. -
Salaries and pensions were contracted by unions that elected gov't reps to pass such benefits.
As the old saying goes, "When the hogs feeding at the trough can tell the farmer what kind of slop to feed, we are in big trouble". People we are in big trouble. -
Classic Edsel's are now selling for $50+k.

Iran can't nuke Israel... too many Mu slims living there.
by stevemcqueen7890 •14 hours agoYou fail to understand Islamic law. If it were to happen, all of the muslims living in Israel would be given a first class ticket to heaven to be served by 72 beautiful virgins. Why and how? The muslims there would be giving up their life to have infidels killed.
You need to read and study up before you make such statements. -
Keep in mind, the IRS law now exceeds 80,000 pages. It is loaded with loop holes. GE hires the best accountants and they take advantage of every loop hole.
Remember, you too can take advantage of the loop holes, all you need to do is hire great CPA's.
Gov't would collect and have a lot more money to waste if we changed the law to a simpler form. -
On such a good up for the DOW, why is FTR down?
-
Dish, S and SB -the prize is CLWR. Analysts say that the spectrum CLWR own is valued at about 30 billion dollars. You acquire S and you get half of CLWR free.
What a deal. -
As FDR said about 80 years ago, there is no place in gov't for unions. Look at all gov't today; city, county, state and federal, that have let unions in, they are all just about BK. WHY? Simple. When the hogs feeding at the trough can tell the farmer what king of feed to put in the trough, we are in big trouble. This is what unions are capable to do.
This is why gov't jobs now pay 40+% more than private jobs. Non gov't people you are the ones that pay up your hard earned money so gov't union people can live so much better than you. Did you know that the average pay for gov't employees within a 100 mile diameter of DC is about $100,000/year, not a bad income for a flunky employee. -
Our glorious mayor is defining for you what is and isn't garbage. I do believe he is scraping the bottom of the barrel. If you define your garbage different than what he thinks, guess what? You can be fined or put in jail.

Have you thought about the idiot you elected to represent you? The one that voted for Obamacare not knowing what the Bill was all about? We are supposed to elect people that know what they are voting for. Most of our elected members vote like the leadership tells them.
When this happens, it tells you your rep does not represent you but the leadership and the party. Each rep costs the tax payers about 1 million dollars per year. If they don't represent you, your money is wasted. When they get to DC, your rep is their for every reason but your benefit.
Think about. Pelosi and Reid are all we need if our reps do what they say.
I am up set. -
I am.

Personally at this time I would rather see the dividend be cut in half if the pps would double.
Both are important. -
I like KT. This is what she said about the civil war in Syria, "There are two groups fighting there that hate us. We have no business supporting either side. Let them continue to fight each other. Keep our nose out of it.:
We should only get involved in a conflict only when they become a threat to us. We need to keep our eye N. Korea and Iran as they are very verbal about their hate for us and their continuing threatening to destroy us. -
I believe DISH needs S and CLWR more than S/SB. I believe Dish has some silent money partners behind their bid.
-
DISH needs Sprint and Clearwire if they are going to grow at the rate that Charlie wants to grow. He has bled out just about all of the huge profit from sat. TV.
Charlie will bid more than S and SB if they raise their offer..... -
FBI, CIA, IRS, DOJ and other federal agencies will be at my drive way before the day is over for this statement.---An old veteran.

The huge country of Syria has been engulfed in a dastardly violent civil war for over the past 2 years and have been averaging killing about 120 people a day, that is across the country. This is terrible, but the city of Chicago, a small area, in the great peaceful country of America some people killed or wounded over 50 people on the streets over the week end. The war mongers, Obama, McCain and many other congressional reps want the U. S. to get involved in the civil war in Syria that will kill more young Americans. The war mongers should be at war with the killers that stalk the streets of the great city of Chicago..
War mongers should be taking care of the violence here at home before they try to cure the problems of Syria. -
The Egyptian politicians call the U. S. their enemy. So what do our idiot politicians do? We send them a $1,500,000,000 in foreign aid.
That number is 1 1/2 billion dollars.
It looks like the Egyptian politicians are brilliant and the American politicians are stupid.
Voters we need to wake up. - Reply to
82 Yr Old Rightwingnut Extraordinaire Murdoch Trading in His 37 Year Yale Graduated Wife For a
by dufusrightwingnutshorts •Jun 14, 2013 9:38 PMMurdoch ain't dumb. When you are filthy rich you should buy a new toy just as soon as you get tired of the old one. After you get too old to play with exotic toys you end up in a nursing home. Everyone, if the good Lord doesn't sap you out while you can play with toys we all will end up in a nursing home.
The smart person prays hard that the Good Lord will let you live long and die fast. (Long means you are abel to do you thing.) - Reply to
Where in the constitution does it say you can tax me at 50%, spy on me, have an IRS that discriminates,
by rembrandt.john •Jun 14, 2013 5:06 PMIt must say that. You elected Obama who supposedly was an adjunct professor while in law school and supposedly was an authority on constitution law. He is telling you it is in there since he is doing what you say. I think our leader defines anything he does or says is moral and constitutionally legal,
I think we are in big trouble. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give our leader a whole 1.
