As for Boehner's "plan" why is it that he and other leading Republicans refuse to give specifics on where to cut Government spending?

DAMN I just love fuckin dems over with thier own words..

Why are so many rightwingers flocking to the rambling words of a Mormon TV talk show host? It is really bizarre when you think about it. WTF is wrong with all these people? I can't remember anything comparable coming out of the leftwing. Certainly not along the lines of Michael Moore or Keith Olbermann giving speeches to tens of thousands adoring sheep at the Lincoln Memorial.

Was that a MORMON TV talk show host?

Or was it a MORON TV talk show host?

RIC SANCHEZ>..calls obama

"COTTON PICKIN PRESIDENT"

yeah yeah I know....its not racial as he QUICKLY pointed out...but close your eyes and imagine if sanchez were a conservative on fox

the left would be in convulsions...

AND white house held a session on HOW TO GET STIMULOUS MONEY..

attending were MUSLIMS GROUPS some of which have ties to

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.

so some of YOUR TAX money COULD possibly be sent to that terrorist group..I am sure it makes you all really PROUD LIBErals

if TRUE of course

HASTA LAREDO ..

So I finally got around to (trying) to watch Avatar. That was a waste of an hour.

"attending were MUSLIMS GROUPS some of which have ties to MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD."

Ties.

As close as the guy who is the second largest investor to FOX? You know, the one who had hs $10 million refused by Rudy Guiliani because he dared to suggest the US actions might have contributed to 9/11...?

Ties like that?

Are you suggesting that Fox is really a front for radical islam, and all the anti-mosque sentiment is just to cause division that will lead to the eventual holy war?

OMG Hannity is an Al Qaeda frontman!!!!!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!

I am so tired of hearing about this damn mosque/community center/gay club/towel retailer building. The arguements have become so convoluded, twisted and fictional that its like a bunch of 5 year olds arguing who's dad is better.

"Is BL2's entire wardrobe made of wool?"

Did i just hear you get your Velcro gloves out?

"Are you suggesting that Fox is really a front for radical islam"

I'm suggesting if "ties", smears, and innuendo makes one a terrorist, then yes. By FOX's own barometer.

The housing bubble supported the Bush economy prior to the recession. We will have to find alternative sources of demand to replace the demand generated by over-valued housing.

We should expect house prices to continue to fall, with nationwide prices dropping another 15-20% to complete the process of deflating the bubble. This price decline is inevitable and in many ways desirable. I don't know why any of us would be happy if our kids had to pay more to buy their first house.

It is actually easy for economists to think of ways to generate demand. We can have public jobs programs, we can rebuild the country's infrastructure, we can have tax cuts oriented towards low- and middle-income people who will spend the money quickly.

We can also have the Fed be more aggressive with its monetary policy, targeting an inflation rate in the 3-4% range. We should also push down the value of the dollar to get our trade deficit down to a more reasonable size.

Unfortunately, all of these policies face serious political obstacles in Washington. The job of economists should be to explain the problem to policymakers and the public and to berate those who seek nonsense solutions like re-inflating a housing bubble.

Two men from Yemen were Arrested today suspected of performing a dry run for a terror attack......

Palestinian Gunmen fired on four Israelis today who were driving in a car.... Killing all four..... Hmmmmmmm Sigh........ Never ends.....

So I finally got around to (trying) to watch Avatar. That was a waste of an hour.

You didnt miss anything of the other 2 half hours of it. It was just a liberal orgy on enviromentalists and indians defeating the military. Just a big fantasy...

Yes, for those who aren't in on the secret yet, "Avatar" is a fantasy, a work of fiction. As in, not real. The presence of 10-foot tall Na'vi, with smooth, striped cyan-colored skin, large amber eyes, and long, sweeping tails is usually a tip-off for most folks.

Doc Sarvis - Your are right; but the standard lib storyline/formula of bad corporation, bad military (or corporate goons), good environmentalists/indigenous people has been done to death. Even one of the worse actors, Segal, has done this formula a time or two. The only thing difference is that it is one with a SciFi setting.

It's a fucking movie. Get a life.

Ah, gee whiz. Lil' Pussboy Boaz got his feewings hurt by a movie. Fucking hilarious.

So the restroom on my floor has three shitters. If one of them is occupado, this one dude always takes the middle stall, right next to the occupied one, instead of taking the one on the far side, leaving the middle one unoccupied as a sort of DMZ. Is that ethical?

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country.


I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars plus additional expenses for my vacation in Spain . My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. We only booked 70 rooms for our friends, staff and family. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times – with our 13 vehicle convoy.


Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. It costs only $11,500 per hour to operate Air Force 2 and each additional plane for the other members of our party group. These are only rough estimates, but they are close (who's counting?). That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.


I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days. Will write more from Martha's Vineyard where we will spend our sixth vacation this year with more of our family and friends.

Cordially,


Michelle Obama

gotta love the internet:)

Is that ethical?

Is this 'dude' Larry Craig? He may be waiting for you to start toe tapping.

But to answer your question, no-not ethical.

I'd get myself one of those battery powered fart machines (one with 4-5 different farts). Next time that asshole sits in the next stall, get on the machine. Make sure to grunt and groan a lot. Yell things like, ACK! ACK! and PEW! LORD HAVE MERCY!!!

That should do the trick.

4000 Miles @ 5 gallons per mile only adds to 20,000 gallons. Nowhere near the 47,500.

No doubt about it, the guy violates shit-house etiquette.
There are two ways to take care of that...
1. hurry up, wipe, exit the stall and kick the neighboring shit-house door in so that it knocks him unconscious. Then sexually assault him.
2. Wipe your ass, show him the soiled TP by reaching below the wall and shaking it at him. Then stick it to his shoe. Followed of course by brutally sexually assaulting him.

Well this was "Air Force Two"!

Maybe Michelle (the queen) demanded escorts (fighter escorts not her entourage) this go around? She does appear to be a little "high maintenance"?

Maybe they had strong head winds....both ways? God knows there were storms brewing while she was away spending our money.

I know what it was....it was all the fucking luggage (filled with dozens of pairs of $400 tennis shoes) on the way there combined with all the gifts she purchased overseas (ignoring the American tourist industry) that weighed the plane down.

of course those pilots and crew don't work for free now do they? My "guess" is it cost more then 5 gallons worth of jet fuel every mile to keep Air Force Two in the air.

What do you think?....did the queen and all of her friends packed their own lunch for the flight?

Although I am sure that the baggage handlers took the day off given the fact that the American Press was there to carry the Obama luggage again....much like they have been for the past 20 months:)

Air Force Two is the call sign of any Air Force plane carrying the vice president, shit-for-brains.

#32 | Posted by Zatoichi

Good topic Zat. I stand corrected.

Given the fact that our new queen is prone to take separate vacations from her husband (along with 40 of her friends) we need to come up with some new call signs for her new jet.

How about Marie Antoinette One? In honor of another one of histories spend thrifts.

How about "The Oblivious"

(along with 40 of her friends)

First, some numbers. Mrs. Obama did not travel with 40 friends, a number used by some news outlets.

She vacationed with two women, one of them a longtime Chicago pal, Anita Blanchard, who is the obstetrician who delivered Sasha and Malia. Blanchard is married to Marty Nesbitt -- President Obama's buddy and the treasurer of Obama's presidential campaign fund.

There was one other woman. Total: four daughters among the three women. They paid for their hotel rooms and other personal and travel expenses.

"RED ONE"?

"THE ELITIST"?

----------------------

Doc,

Why did they reserve 70 hotel rooms?

Gotta run out for a few hours. I will be looking forward to your answer.

Dirk, I've no idea how many rooms they reserved. But if you got that figure from the same place you came upon the 40 friends bit, you might want to do some checking.

The trip involved six White House advance staffers and two East Wing staffers, deputy Chief of Staff Melissa Winter and Mrs. Obama's personal assistant, Kristen Jarvis, according to Mrs. Obama's spokeswoman Catherine McCormick Lelyveld.

Mrs. Obama does travel with significant security -- and in a trip like this, three shifts of uniformed and plain-clothes agents and military personnel flew with her on a big Air Force 757. No matter where she goes -- domestic or international -- any first lady gets protection and she does not decide how many agents are needed....

How did they end up at the five star Villa Padierna, part of the Ritz-Carlton chain? Because of security concerns, there were just some places they could not go. Agents were able to secure Villa Padierna and the nearby beach area.


I think it was a mistake for her to go, and I think it's a mistake for people to harp about it when they don't seem to have the facts at hand.

A friend of mine just started his own business making landmines that look like prayer mats.

It's doing well.

not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?

Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that.

obungler hates big business -ANY business. He wants to raise taxes so that it removes all incentive to expand and hire *CITIZENS*.

Uh, sure. Proposing a lending bill for small businesses who can't get them from banks is 'anti-business'.

Only in Conservadonia, the land where up is down and white is black

Americanunity - The "small business bill" does nothing to support small business. It is just another DEM "name it something the public will support but do the opposite" bill. Which is why even some DEMS do not support it. Dems control both houses...why can't they pass it on thier own? Because some see what is happening to America.

It is just another SPEND SPEND SPEND bill..throw money at something and it will work. Like Stimulas, Tarp, Buyouts, Bailouts,ect.

What you guys are finding out is that SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK! Your Theories on Economics are NOT CORRECT. YOU CANNOT SPEND YOURSELF TO PROSPERITY!

IN FACT this is what you are bringing on us all and why the nationwide revolt of the intelligent hardworking people in the US:

"This is the first issue of Sovereign Subjects, a new Morgan Stanley publication focusing on sovereign risk in advanced economies.

Debt/GDP ratios are too backward-looking and considerably underestimate the fiscal challenge faced by advanced economies' governments. On the basis of current policies, most governments are deep in negative equity.

This means governments will impose a loss on some of their stakeholders, in our view. The question is not whether they will renege on their promises, but rather upon which of their promises they will renege, and what form this default will take.

So far during the Great Recession, sovereign (and bank) senior unsecured bond holders have been the only constituency fully protected from partaking in this loss.

It is overly optimistic to assume that this can continue forever. The conflict that opposes bond holders to other government stakeholders is more intense than ever, and their interests are no longer sufficiently well aligned with those of influential political constituencies.
There exists an alternative to outright default. ‘Financial oppression' (imposing on creditors real rates of return that are either negative or artificially low) has been used repeatedly in history in similar circumstances. Investors should be prepared to face financial oppression, a credible threat against which current yields provide little protection."

NOT IF - WHEN!....you cannot keep giving people money and support (illegal aliens, the lazy, ect) that do not work - or even try to - and maintain an economy.

The DEMS and the spend spend spend ways have brought us to the edge of destruction. For that reason they will be slaughtered in the fall...and the Republicans - especially RINOs are next.

FOSHAFFER

You're talking directly to the Republicans who proposed and passed one deficit creating mess after another.

Write them a letter and give them a piece of your mind.

"#25 | Posted by 101Chairborne"

OK. I'm convinced that 101 really is back. And Rob_the_AHole too. Cheers to that. This place got fucking boring when all it was was Goatman arguing with someone about some minor detail of some stupid issue all the live long day. I might have to check in a little more often.

American - you cannot be that biased and stupid! Who has held the congress for the last 4 years? Who has passed all the various spending packages? Who has added 3 TRILLION to the deficit THIS LAST YEAR! The Repub. have thier fair share of the blame over the the prior year when Bush spent 500B on the drug coverage. You can argue the war but both of these are NOTHING compared to the waste of money in the stimulas and it the last Obama budget. NOTICE THAT THE DEMS DID NOT EVEN PASS A BUDGET THIS YEAR!?! WHY? Because it what they were spending was SOOO out of control they new it would just be another arrow in the Rep. Quiver.

You and your kind that walk with blinders on - not seeing the reality of the situation is why we are in this mess....THIS IS YOUR AMERICA TOO! It is collapsing around you and you want to go .."well those guys were bad too"....Stupid stupid stupid.

The main reason people are not for the "Small Business Act" The creation of ANOTHER GOVERMENT AGENCY IN CONTROL OF PART OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR!

"19 A New Markets Venture Capital company that is receiving a grant under
20 section 358 may not issue debentures guaranteed by the
21 Administrator for any 1 company in an aggregate amount
22 that is more than 10 percent of the sum of --
23 ‘‘(1) the private capital of the New Markets"

The government now owns: Car Company's, Banks, Controls who gets a student loan and prohibits getting them elsewhere, controls Healthcare, Retirement, Housing loans (the fiasco in the housing market is squarely at the feet of Freddie / Fannie an Barney Frank along with the socialistic idea that even people who CANNOT AFFORD A LOAN SHOULD GET ONE!!!!and now is in the private sector venture capital market!

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE US GOVERNMENT WAS CHARTERED TO DO UNDER THE CONSTITUTION!

There has been a Democrat President for only 19 months. One who was left with over $1,000,000,000,000 a year in systemic deficits by his predecessor and the GOP Congress. Fact.

Bush only discovered his veto pen when SCHIPS medical insurance for kids was passed by the Democrat Congress.

Really, read up on all the multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, wars, and other legislation the GOP passed while they racked up another $6,000,000,000,000 in debt instead of paying off the $5.5 Trillion debt they could have paid off.

"Biased and Stupid" defines right wingers who act as though the GOP Congress and Bush didn't borrow us into the next century.

It used to be "He's been in office only 6 months. Give him a year. Bush's fault,." 6 months later, "He's been in office only 12 months. Give him more time. Bush's fault." Six months later, "He's only been in office 18 months. Bush's fault." Come summer of 2012 the song will be, "He's only been in office 42 months. Not enough time to fix Bush's fuck ups."

*yawn*

Well, it seems a few people are still buying it, but according to the polls, most Americans don't. Too bad you ostriches get only one vote in November like everyone else. It's time to man up and admit y'all's "community organizer" isn't presidential material. Fix it. Elect another democrat in 2012 if you want, but get this one the fuck out of here.

BTW, where are the "The republican party is dead" people of a year ago? Or is the latest Gallup poll that gives them a 10 pt lead in error?

"Bush only discovered his veto pen when SCHIPS medical insurance for kids was passed by the Democrat Congress."

Which of course Obama promptly signed into law at a cost of another $35 billion dollars. Not to mention calling it the first step towards another useless and unwanted program. I think they call it HC reform.

BTW... Bush was willing to throw more money away into SCHIP. I think he wanted half what Pelosi and the other stupid dems demanded.

Holy fucking Christ. Skizziks gets the boot and Goatman comes back. I think I'm going to get drunk. Welcome back, Goatman. Now I can quit saying LOL all the time. (my personal tribute during your absence)

American - believe what you want to believe. But the facts are: 1) the Economy is in shambles 2) Dems have had control for over 4 years 3) spending is killing us and the DEMS are out of control.

At some point in time you will actually do research on your own and starting questioning what you have been told and then you will wake up.

The REPUBLICANS are not blameless by no means..but this idiot and his staff in the Whitehouse and the Congress with Reed and Pelosi that pass massive bills Without ever READING THEM is a massive cluster fuck.

We need to pull control AWAY from the politicians...and back to the people by cuting government in half and focusing it back on what it was chartered to do: Provide for the common defense, insure interstate commerce and stay out of everything else.

Then we are in agreement.

We are in agreement again so here is a little info for you to bone up on.

"The First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her 'closest friends,'" Tantaros writes, pointing to a CNN report that Michelle Obama and her group are expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms. "Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times."

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain - one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One - operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 - double for the round trip.

www.cbsnews.com

www.nydailynews.com

Doc I think we can all agree that just because her "friends" work for her doesn't mean they needed to tour the country of Spain with her. Completely out of touch any way you look at it.

Honestly I would have been ok with this had she simply flew a Lear Jet over and had a couple dozen Secret Service surrounding her. As much as I dislike her elitist mentality and the obvious lack of support for the United State Tourist Industry the last thing I want is for her or the kids to be harmed by some terrorist nut job. Her problem is that she, like her husband has all the tact of a Chicago Thug....and that shit doesn't fly....so to speak;)

Going to go squeeze the little lady. Have a great evening. It will be winter before we know it.

Which was paid for with a tax on tobacco. Can't say that about any bill the GOP passed and W signed. They thought borrowing was preferable.

"operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour."

A few questions:

How much would it have cost per hour just sitting there?

Why is the DoD charging so much?

And since she also fulfilled some diplomatic duties, what would it have cost, in comparison, for a diplomatic envoy to travel there?

"He's only been in office 42 months. Not enough time to fix Bush's fuck ups."

Well, you have to admit, Bush's fuckups were monumental. I know neither one of us could've fixed them by now.

The Oval Office is getting a new make-over. I guess the gold drapes looked too much like the gold gowns. And those fake copies of originals just had to go (amazing how different the pictures look upside-down...a reflection on our plight today).

That silly dude, Krugman, is on a witch hunt as he decries a witch hunt:

And check out Connie Pillich (D-U.S.A.F.):

"The Magically Expanding Ribbon Rack of Connie Pillich (D-OH)"

"...it's strange enough that Pillich parades around her ribbons while wearing civilian attire, not exactly standard fare for vets. But, hey, if the USAF isn't complaining, why should we?

What some have pointed out, however, is that her ribbon rack has mysteriously grown in the intervening years."

At least she doesn't wear them on her sleeve (or forehead).

The SEUI retirement funding ratios are up to 40% different between union officers and union members. Of course the union members are receiving the short end of the stick. Why is that?

directorblue.blogspot.com

It's the Obama way in ObamaNation!

I know neither one of us could've fixed them by now.

That's why neither one of us ran for president

"But the facts are: 1) the Economy is in shambles 2) Dems have had control for over 4 years 3) spending is killing us and the DEMS are out of control. "

But the facts are:

1) Bush drove the economic ship of state off the cliff
2) Dems didn't pass a finance bill until just recently, and
3) You never made a peep when the Rs were breaking all previous spending records.

"That's why neither one of us ran for president"

And whom, amongst all the candidates, could've fixed this massive shit sandwich Dubya delivered to his successor by now?

"The SEUI retirement funding ratios are up to 40% different between union officers and union members. Why is that?"

Probably because staff works full-time, every week, year after year, whereas many of the workers work part-time, a week here & a month there, and some just barely qualify for a pension.

Any other questions based on a vast ignorance of the subject matter?

1) Bush drove the economic ship of state off the cliff

True

2) Dems didn't pass a finance bill until just recently, and

True

3) You never made a peep when the Rs were breaking all previous spending records.

False. I've always been against excessive government spending. Always.

Two outta three ain't bad for you, danforth.

Now that the first two have been firmly established and repeated about 14 billion times (feel free to correct me if I lowballed that number) do youc are to talk about how your messiah has put upward pointing rocket engines on that off the cliff vehicle?

And whom, amongst all the candidates, could've fixed this massive shit sandwich Dubya delivered to his successor by now?

We'll never know, will we? Speculation is a fool's game

"False. I've always been against excessive government spending."

And when you change your name to FoShaffer, I'll be wrong. Until then, I'm three out of three.

"We'll never know, will we? Speculation is a fool's game"

Feel free to speculate. In fact, I'll expand it for you: who, since the dawn of time, could have fixed this massive fuck up Dubya left in his wake in 19 months?

Feel free to speculate on how, as well.

Goat!

Good to see you.

who could have fixed this massive fuck up Dubya left in his wake in 19 months?

Well, the obamamamas thought he could do it in 6. Until six months had passed. Then they said 12. Until 12 months passed. Then they said 18. Until 18 months passed.

Feel free to speculate

OK. If you insist. In 2012 the same people will be saying that 40 months isn't enough time. Re-elect Obama because it will take 50 months.

"do youc are to talk about how your messiah has put upward pointing rocket engines on that off the cliff vehicle?"

My messiah has been long dead.

If you're talking about Obama, a mere politician, he seems to be trying whatever he can, as misguided as I believe some of it is. I've been on record as against Cash for Clunkers, the Home Buyer's Credit, the Health Care bill, and Cap & Trade. I've also publicly begged for some -- ANY -- sensible Republicans, who aren't in bed with theocracy, tax cuts for the wealthiest, more Scalias on the SC, and codifying gays as second-class citizens. Instead, I get the Bachmans, Pauls, and Angles of the world.

Thanks, Eb!

Until then, I'm three out of three.

Two outta four now. Shoulda quit while you weren't so far behind

"If you insist. In 2012 the same people will be saying that 40 months isn't enough time. Re-elect Obama because it will take 50 months."

Personally, I don't think it'll happen in 50 years. The last chance we had, macroeconomically speaking, was about a decade ago, when we could have put ourselves on a track to pay off our debt in preparation for the twin tsunamis of SS & Medicare coming at us, something we've known about for a generation. Frankly, it's too late, and President McCain, or President Palin, or President Fill-in-the-Blank would have similarly been behind the 8-ball. I was screaming about structural deficits Bush was about to leave his successor long before the meltdown, and long before anyone had any idea a skinny mulatto with a (D) after his name was going to be the next President.

"Two outta four now."

When did you change your name to FoShaffer?

Goat-coward has returned I see. I thought we had finally gotten rid of you. I guess you begged RCADE to come back. Prepare for defeat once again.

...when we could have put ourselves on a track to pay off our debt in preparation for the twin tsunamis of SS & Medicare coming at us,

Now we have a triple tsunami coming at us. Wait until the true costs of Obamacare hit us. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Yet I'm sure as Obamacare crashes and burns and further drags down the economy, that will be Bush's fault, too. LOL

Not sure if it is the fact Obama is in the Oval Office speaking, but for the first time in my opinion he is sounding presidential. He isn't taking credit or demeaning anyone and actually gave a huge shout out to Bush. This isn't some f'ing campaign speech and no doubt will help his sagging numbers.

I thought. . .

You shouldn't attempt to do that for which you don't have the proper tools for.

Goat I guess you can finally admit to being addicted to this place. You probably cried yourself to sleep wanting to be back here. The funniest thing is when you accused me of sending self destruct emails.

Goatman welcome back. I missed ya.

"You shouldn't attempt to do that for which you don't have the proper tools for."

These are considered advanced tools for jackless.

"Wait until the true costs of Obamacare hit us."

While I'm against the HC bill, if it shaves off a few points from medical inflation, we'll all owe a huge debt of gratitude. And since it puts (at least a little) emphasis on prevention instead of cure, it has that potential.

Thanks, mysterytoy

"Yet I'm sure as Obamacare crashes and burns and further drags down the economy, that will be Bush's fault, too"

And if Obamacare lowers the runaway double-digit medical inflation rate, I'm sure you'll blame him for your premiums going up 5%.

BTW, let me add...welcome back, Goatman.

#85:

*yawn*

From now on, your perceived conversations with me are one sided -- based on the size of your obsession with me. I always feel filthy after responding to you, ratsa.

It's all yours. . . .

Thank you too, danforth!

And if Obamacare lowers the runaway double-digit medical inflation rate, I'm sure you'll blame him for your premiums going up 5%

My share of my health care premiums have pretty much been constant for 5 years. So yes, if my bottom line goes up, I'll blame him. If it goes down, I'll give him credit.

PS on #93 -- all else (quality of HC, mainly) being the same, of course. If my premiums fall 5%, but my quality of HC grossly falls, that is not a win IMO.

"My share of my health care premiums have pretty much been constant for 5 years"

Which means your employers have been picking up larger and larger percentages of your costs, probably due to the rise in oil prices.

"if my bottom line goes up, I'll blame him. If it goes down, I'll give him credit."

Of course. If oil prices drop, or remain constant, and your company wants to continue growing its profits, it'll be Obama's fault. Although somehow I doubt you'll be giving Obama credit for anything.

"If my premiums fall 5%..."

Hell will have frozen over.

Although somehow I doubt you'll be giving Obama credit for anything.

Sadly, I am finally coming to that realization as well.

I see Rogers pussied out again.

Hey rcade why did you pull the article about people thinking
Obama is a Muslim? Did you not like the list if his quotes?

So tell him privately, not the nooner. That way you look like a whiner to only one person, not many. Just a suggestion . . .

Hey look, Goatman's back!

FOSHAFFER: "THIS IS NOT WHAT THE US GOVERNMENT WAS CHARTERED TO DO UNDER THE CONSTITUTION!"

Please understand that when dems are in change the Constitution of the United States is a nuisance to be ignored. The dems only care about it and scream about their rights when a Republican is in charge (i.e., the Patriot Act under President Bush). It is not as if a dem could be consistent about the constitution after all - LOL

My newest granddaughter, now 5 weeks old.

MSGT-
I don't recall you having any trouble with abuse to the Constitution when Bush was President, and now you can't precisely state why you are screaming about the Democrats.

Be sure and teach her that Muslims were responsible for 9/11 and that they build mosques on conquered territory and that illegal immigrants are taking her future jobs and that Obama is not really a citizen.

You might as well do it, or Newt Gingrich and Fox News will.

I don't recall...

If I was as forgetful as you, boyd, I sure wouldn't be repeating it all the time. Or maybe you forgot that you have? LOL

Have a good night, Goatman. I'm out.

Be sure and teach her that Muslims were responsible for 9/11 and that they build mosques on conquered territory and that illegal immigrants are taking her future jobs and that Obama is not really a citizen.

I'm not her legal guardian. Besides at 5 weeks, she'd hardly understand these things.

Why do you make such stupid statements, boyd? Do you enjoy portraying yourself as the perpetual fool? How odd

I'm out

And the average IQ of the DR just shot up 46 points

Oh, and don't forget to tell her how the black/arab/muslim president and his black DOJ is defending the New Black Panthers in their efforts to kill her.

Later.

You guys have matching haircuts

But my beard is more stunning.

Yes boyd. Point taken. You are an idiot. No need to reiterate that fact ad nauseum. We, unlike you, grasp a concept on it's first appearance.

You are not an idiot, Goatman, but you defend the most vicious race-baiters and charlatans and have not once stood up to any one of those on this blog.

And I'm sure you never will.

Boyd sez "I'm outta here" and then he comes back.

Hang your head in shame, you turnip.

I just got broadband wireless. This is too cool. Right now I am sitting in a tent on the back of my pickup (truck tents are also cool!) at Padre Island listening to the surf. I actually get 4g service here.

I actually get 4g service here.

"4G" would be Wi-Max? It's a popular way to connect.

As for "3G".... Ha! Pakistan gets the fastest wireless service in the world (or so they claim).

Of course,what do you think the drones run off of

I can get the 3G almost anywhere there are people, and 4G in most metro areas in the US. Right now I am getting it out of Corpus Christi. This shit is too cool

Speed: I get a 151 ms ping to Atlanta from here. I expected better for 4G, but I may be mistaken with expectations

I expected better for 4G, but I may be mistaken with expectations

You'll get better speeds if you take their external antenna (I am assuming you are using WiMax like they do here).

They don't like to give that antenna to everyone.... you have to pull it out of their ass by threatening to make a scene.

After that, all is well.

Of course,what do you think the drones run off of

Satellite uplink, brother.

This is the USB anatennae I have. I guess I could see if there are better ones and use this one strictly for defense purposes. (or do they have to be car antennaes?)

Satellite uplink, brother.

Used to be,but verizon is offering screaming deals

Check out the very odd item I found on the beach a couple of days ago:

For gawd's sake, throw it back into the water.

The one they give here is mounted on the roof and it's big. It would work great if you-know-who decides to use it against a gun.

I left it on the beach. But part of Senor Foto was still inside. It was kind of creepy. I presume his family scattered him on the beach, but fuck, they should've emptied the box completely and taken the empty box away

For gawd's sake, throw it back into the water.

No.. better yet... mail it to Messiah. He will know what to do with it.

Being a Muslim, he probably runs a "lost and found" in the neighborhood mosque.

But part of Senor Foto was still inside.

You opened it???

Dude....

Thank the gods you're on a Web .005 style website.

Do videos sound like, "I .... ant .... to ... uch (long pause) ... (spinning ball)?

You opened it???

It was already opened. I picked it up and I estimate there was about a 1/4 of a measuring cup (don't know that in metric) of Senor Foto still inside. I presume the rest of him is sleeping with the fishes or found its way between my toes earlier in the day.

AU: videos are smooth.

Can't believe they left the box.

Finish laying the man to rest, er, granular scattering.

When I picked up my sister's ashes I was struck by how little besides water we really consist of.

No, if the box was closed and heavy, I would not have opened it. I would've turned it over to the cops or the cute turtle lady that drives by all day long looking for turtle eggs.

Finish laying the man to rest, er, granular scattering.

I showed it to some fishermen there and they threw their catch that day away. They were afraid the fish may have ingested part of Senor Foto.

I was reminded of the scene in The Big Lebowski where Walter dumps Donnie's ashes out of the coffee can ("dark roast", nice touch Cohens) and they all blew back on the Dude. It is always windy at the beach. I wonder if that happened to the Foto family?

That's funny!

You should keep the box and pull it out when you go into Mexico if you feel threatened by anyone:

"Llevo el muerto!"

#137 | Posted by goatman

"Cremains" (that's what the funeral home called them) are more like crushed seashells than ashes. They don't really blow around. When I scattered my sister's here and there, they didn't blow around at all.

That blowing around thing is all Hollywood.

...instead of taking the one on the far side, leaving the middle one unoccupied as a sort of DMZ. Is that ethical?

Discuss.

"Unethical" goes too far.

Spud would way "unnecessarily invasive", and maybe even a li'l bit "creepy".

Particularly, if the guy you werk with is Larry Craig.

Spud has a very narrow narrow stance on issues of bathroom etiquette.

Be Well.

GOATMAN

I don't know how you did it but welcome back.

Goatman, welcome back!

Is BL2's entire wardrobe made of wool?

#8 | Posted by moder8

YES!

except for the polyesther neru jackets...

Don't forget the white plastic shoes and white plastic belt.

YES.....

I agree. Wtf?

Betelg: "I don't recall you having any trouble with abuse to the Constitution when Bush was President, and now you can't precisely state why you are screaming about the Democrats."

Sorry to answer this belateddly as I jsut saw your post:

I had no trouble with President Bush as I do believe that he abused our rights. All I heard was the dems claiming that he did. Since the dems have had the house, senate and presidency lately I would think they would have repealed this act if they thought it was in violation of our rights. Nuff said!

#145 - and burlap boxers would be just right for BL2

I find no words to describe how creepy it is that a group of men are so concerned with what fabric BL2's wardrobe is made of, especially his under garments.

Geesh! : )
