    Using Google to predict who will become president

    It has purty charts, so I like it. But I suspect the Halloween mask sales breakdown will prove to be just as accurate. ;)

    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    I'm a moron because the economy does better under Democrats? Heh, okay, if you say so. Sticks and stones and all that. My opinion is that people who throw out disparaging comments about others just reveal their own intellectual weakness for the world to see. In any case, best prepare yourself...

    Grams/watt?? What are you getting..

    I grow six plants under each 600 watt light. They veg for quite a while, but they're vegging while the previous crop is flowering, so there's no time lost. I use cabinets that are about 48 inches wide, 40 inches deep, and 6 feet tall. 0.75 grams per watt, under 600 watts, is about a pound, and...

    Grams/watt?? What are you getting..

    I get around 0.75 grams per watt, using 600 watt lights. My next two crops may surpass that, but I don't wanna count my grams before they're grown. ;)

    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    Okay. I will! They haven't done anyone wrong who's voted Democrat in 80 years, so I'll take that record. I don't need to know the why of it. I just need to know the effects that impact my life. If I open my wallet and find five thousand dollars there mysteriously, I'm not gonna spend a ton of...

    Obama? or McCain?

    I wouldn't worry about the Republicans much. I truly do believe we are witnessing the initial stages of the breakup of the Republican Party. They are in full retreat now, desperately trying to defend their home turf. Some of their congressional candidates are trying to latch onto Obama's...

    Heh, standard Republican tactic -- the statistics don't back up your message, so they must be meaningless. I'm trying to remember the fallacy name for that one from my college debate days, but that was a couple of decades ago and my brain's not as spry as it once was. But logic fallacy it is.

    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    Ah, no snappy comeback? Didn't think so. The record is clear. That's why people turn to Democrats when the economy sucks -- we have a long, multi-decade record of being waaay better than Republicans in all those areas. So if any of those things are important to you, then voting Republican is...

    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    Here are some stats. Make of them what you will. They're all true and verifiable. If you doubt, check em out yourself. 1). FEDERAL SPENDING: since 1960 Republicans increased Federal Spending by 71% more than have Democrats. 2). FEDERAL DEBT: since 1960 Republicans have increased the...

    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    Well, it's been shown that over the last 100 years, the economy has done better under Democrats than Republicans. So, I sense a trend there. There was some study I read recently that showed the difference. If you had invested ten grand and only kept it in the stock market when under Democrats...

    Winner obama

    Some Scottish gambling firm already paid out to those who bet on Obama and quit taking further bets on the election. That's kinda funny. THEY sure are sure he's going to win, since they paid out about $1.5 million on the bets. Obama's playing chess, while mcCain is playing checkers. Did you...

    You all make it sound like the tax rate above $250k (net profit, after expenses and payroll and deductions) would be incredibly different. The difference is between 36% and 39%. If you count in the small business breaks that Obama provides, and the <$250k shield, your business would have to make...

    Is Gay Marriage Really That Big Deal?

    Does it matter if they're taxed, if they end up paying nothing because of deductions and expenses? That's what all non-profits do, they spend everything they make, resulting in net income of $0. If you apply a 90% tax rate on that net income, you still end up with $0. So, tax away. Churches too...

    did the secret service spank mccain

    Ask Veterans advocacy groups about McCain. Veterans groups give him poor marks, a grade of D. No, it's not an F, but it's pretty bad. (Obama gets a B, and he missed an A only because he wasn't present to vote on a couple of things, not because he opposed them.) McCain was a poor soldier who...

    Obama? or McCain?

    Me and my significant other are going to vote for Obama too. She wore an Obama/Biden shirt to work yesterday, and it was amazing how nice she was treated by black folks. We're in a red (but battleground) state, so you don't see a lot of blatant Obama supporters around here, because of fear of...

    Joe's not a licensed plumber. He made about $40k in 2006. His first name isn't Joe. He hasn't paid his taxes and there's a lien on his property until he does. He thinks McCain's economic plan would cut his taxes more than Obama's (and he's wrong about that). He doesn't have the money to buy a...

    I'm voting for McCain....

    I wish people would understand that we already have universal health care. If you do not have health care, and do not have money, and get sick, then go to a hospital and they will treat you. That's the law. Oh, maybe you don't get the best care in the world if you're broke, but you will be...

    Bail Out or Slush Fund?

    I didn't say McCain got a buttload of money. The guy whispering in his ear got buttloads of Fannie money (may even still be receiving it, dunno), more than all those senators combined. More than all those senators combined PLUS another $1,500,000. And he got that cash for doing nothing except...
