    Some Interesting Thoughts to Ponder

    That'd just be used to oppress immigrants, even the legal ones. I haven't had much problem being understood by people, personally, so this seems more like a solution looking for a problem. Definitely nowhere near the top of my list of important things that'd be nice to see get done.

    HE F'n killed him!!!!!!!! Are YOU F'n blind! Yes!

    Eh, just more of the same shit. We've heard all that stuff before, it's been debunked, and we've moved on to important things, like...THE ECONOMY IS CRASHING! Time for the Republicans to get outta Dodge before they burn the whole place down. We're witnessing the beginning of the end of the...

    You won't hear about this on MSNBC ...

    Of course, one must consider the very real possibility that McCain will not live very long, in which case Palin's positions will be what matters. So, you can't just pretend that what she thinks is irrelevant. If McCain was a spry man of 50 or even 60, and if he didn't have multiple instances of...

    McCain-Palin Put 'Country Last'

    It's pretty hilarious watching McCain 2000 bitching about negative campaigning and saying if he was in charge, he'd not run such a campaign, that the American people deserve better. And then we have McCain 2008, who apparently hates McCain 2000, loves negative campaigning, and doesn't think the...

    Why I may never vote Democrat Again

    You'd make a better point accusing people of incompetence if you didn't spell it "incompidence". Glass houses, stones, yada yada.

    Are riots next?

    If you check the facts, it's not so much ACORN that's the prob, it's the people they're hiring putting fake names on lists because they get paid to put names on lists. But nobody seriously expects Ringo Starr or Darth Vader to show up, provide ID, and vote. In other words, it's fraud all right...

    500 million in salary while the company goes bankrupt

    Checked my IRA's today, and they're actually doing okay. But they're allocated very conservatively, because I don't like to gamble much. Good thing too! I'm showing a 4 percent gain year-over-year. Pretty bad, but looking at the markets the last few weeks...I'll take that 4%, happily. But I'm...

    who saw hannity get hannitied

    Oh yeah, totally a propoganda machine, Faux News. That's what made Gibbs taking down Hannity so cool -- not the kind of thing you see there usually.

    500 million in salary while the company goes bankrupt

    I consider wealthy to be $200,000 or more in gross income each year, complete ownership of at least one house and one car (no liens), and the ability to come up with one million dollars or more in cash within a week without selling the house(s) or car(s). In other words, if you can expect to be...

    $1000 in stock...

    They didn't mandate giving mortgages to those who couldn't afford it though. That was the banks' call there. They did it because they could simply package the mortgage into securities so complex you MIGHT be able to understand them with a PhD in pure math (but probably not), then sold them to...

    Slow demise of the mighty greenback

    Silver long-term, not short-term. Right now, as of today, silver is 2.6 times what it was in early 2001. That's a 160% increase over eight years. Any banks give that kind of return? No. Did the stock market? No. Do I wish I'd bought a buttload when it was $4.50/ounce spot price? Yes. Am I buying...

    Well ... they voted it down ...

    The 80/20 rule is valid, but it exposes a deep ideological difference between Republicans and Democrats: Republicans who are in the 20% don't do much at all to help the other 80%. Democrats have more compassion. Not everyone is in the 80% because they're welfare queens. Most are there simply...

    Make-Believe Maverick

    Sidney? OMG, his middle name is the same as a FOREIGN CITY in a FOREIGN COUNTRY! Kinda faggy-sounding too. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

    500 million in salary while the company goes bankrupt

    That's why I like that idea to peg CEO compensation to some specified multiple of the average wage of a worker in that company. That way the CEOs can't suck all the life out of the company for their own benefit, then declare bankruptcy, leaving the workers with a dried up husk of a company...

    Can you only really tell a plant is male in the flowering stage?

    Males will *usually* show their bananas, even if they're still in veg. But there are a few strains that I don't know if they *ever* show the bananas in veg. I've only had one strain like that though, and all the others eventually popped out some bananas or hairs during veg.

    Mc Cain & Medical Marijuana? See what he thinks...

    Those are some scary ass spiders! I lived on a farm as a young child, so in my memory they are probably much bigger than they really are. But I'm still not going wading through corn fields. Heh.

    You won't hear about this on MSNBC ...

    Someone should make up a big sign, with Sarah Palin on it instead of Uncle Sam, pointing at the viewer of the sign, and saying, "I'll fuck YOU!" I mean, all her flirty talk and winking, that's what her message is, and it's not even all that subtle. Seems to work well on the good ol' boys too...

    HE F'n killed him!!!!!!!! Are YOU F'n blind! Yes!

    Nobody is buying this Ayers BS. Ayers did some bad shit before half the population was even born. They live in the same neighborhood, and work on the same charitable organization (run by a Republican). Big fucking deal. I'm much more interested in McCain's serving on the board of a pro-Nazi...
