In related news, I have thought of a way to pay the proctologist. :lulz:
Interestingly, I was joking about this same idea with a friend a week ago, although my barter unit of choice was ducks for some reason.
lulz defined: A state level politician seriously professing a stance you argued for in jest.

Um, she's running for Harry Reid's seat in the federal senate.
Oh, I misread it.
Well that's actually funnier.
:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:
Also: does she know *anything* about how hospitals are run? I've known people without insurance who tried to barter, they got told to pay in full or not bother, it wouldn't help their credit.

Barter or haggle?
I mean, I'd LOVE to see someone go to the billing department of a hospital with some livestock.
Point. I wonder how many chickens you'd need to cover a 60,000 dollar debt?
Alternately, you could coerce the hospital into forgiving your debt.
"I have in my possession 500 greased pigs and 1,000 chickens. If you do not get rid of my debt I will release them into the hospital. You have 24 hours to comply."
*shakes head*
I wonder why the people do not like Reid so much and I also wonder what the motives behind her running are.
Reid's a democrat from a very red state, which means despite nominally being one of the most powerful liberals in the country, he's more than happy to sell out in order to make the 'moderates' from his home state happy.
This woman is the crazy the teabaggers have picked to replace him.
Sheesh-America is just digging itself deeper into the fucked-up-ness of it all.
And people wonder why I don't vote for any of these mutants.
;)
Well-off I go to tend to some livestock now.

Reid is a cheap whore.
This freak is even worse.

Was. Not for sure anymore. That may have been a Dukakis moment.

Goldman Execs Sold Shares After Fraud Notice: Report
April 24, 2010
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Five senior executives at Goldman Sachs Group Inc sold company stock after the firm received notice of possible fraud charges, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The stock sales, which totaled $65.4 million, were made by co-general counsel Esta Stecher, vice chairmen Michael Evans and Michael Sherwood, principal accounting officer Sarah Smith and board member John Bryan.
The executives made the sales between October 2009 and February 2010. Goldman received notice of the possible charges in July of 2009.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud lawsuit on April 16 against the bank, saying Goldman had failed to tell clients that debt securities they were buying had input from hedge fund Paulson & Co, which stood to benefit if the securities lost value.
Goldman shares fell 12.8 percent on the day the SEC filed its lawsuit. The company has called the SEC allegations unfounded in fact and law.
A spokesman for Goldman did not immediately return calls seeking comment on the report.
The only one who could have helped Goldman cover this up was Tim Geithner.
This is powerful stuff. Nixon fell over less than this.
Oooooooooh!

Wow! Maybe someone should invent some kind of small, standardized token that acts as a
promise of payment of firewood, for those kinds of situations.
