A Recommendation: "The Greedy Bastards"

Folks, it's not often that I recommend things here, but I hope you will check this out. The title alone should get your attention, and if you're a regular reader here, you know I've used the term, or similar, many times over the years. Whether you like to hear it or not (please, please don't be in denial), the country has essentially been taken over by a very powerful, well financed group. They aren't "job creators," as they and their minions like to say, but they are interested in one thing....THEMSELVES! Any jobs they create, and they are not many, in my opinion, are incidental. No matter what your political affiliation, I hope you can put the COUNTRY first, and not let the superegos and "greedy bastards" continue to take us on the path of national destruction we have been on for decades now. Dylan Radigan has seen "Wall Street" first hand and his commitment to change the country for the better, for the vast majority, and not just the few, is somethng he sincerely believes.

WORD HISTORY:
Meal (2)-English has two words "meal;" this is the one "food served at a particular time" ("Meal," meaning "ground grain" was covered previously). This word goes back to Indo European "me," which meant "to measure." This gave its Old Germanic offspring "maelan," which meant "(measured) time and hour, but also in certain contexts it seems to have had notions of "fixed time to eat." This gave Old English (Anglo-Saxon) "mael," with essentially the same meanings. This then became "mel(e)," before the modern version, but the meaning condensed to only "fixed time to eat, meal, feast." Very common in the other Germanic languages: German and Low German Saxon have "mal" (time(s), in math & in 'occasion' sense) & "Mahl" (meal), Dutch has "maal," West Frisian has "miel," Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish all have "mál."
