What was the Bush Administration doing to "win" the war in Iraq? They never laid out clear goalposts and just kept saying "we have to stay till we win and all the terrahist r dead". Towards the end of the Bush years they realized that it was much easier to just pay people not to fight. This...

For security reasons I would break it down. The idea of having a grow at home while I am away scares the shit out of me.

I can only assume you mean the former Iraqi Information Minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf?

If the party has been hijacked then it should be a piece of cake to get radical ideas passed. At this point Republicans don't even oppose banning insurance companies from dropping sick people. In what universe is that radical?

How can you claim to have no idea whats going on in one post and then claim you know about economics? Deregulation, specifically starting with the repeal of Glass–Steagall lead to irresponsible mortgages being bundled and sold as securities. The de-fanging of current regulatory bodies that...

Be more specific and provide citations. Lets also be clear, the root cause of the recession today was toxic assets in the form of mortgage backed securities, right?

Keep in mind that the best thing our government can do right now (during a recession) is put people to work and put money in their pockets. It might seem counterintuitive but cutting back drastically right now would cause a depression. I am all for activism but at least know WHY you are...

A few weeks ago I had an old pod of garlic and some of the cloves were sprouting. Being curious I tossed them into 3 pots with about 4 cloves each. They all grew like weeds and survived all but the coldest frost. I actually left 1 of the pots outside in the snow and I am pretty sure the...

This is what scares the shit out of me. Have this many Americans become so dumb that they are pushing for less regulation right after the 2nd largest economic crisis in our history was directly caused by deregulation.

I think you missed the point. We can talk all day long about how much we love freedom and how we want our representatives to "follow the constitution" but that is worthless till you can nail down specifics. Specificly what do we do to get this smaller government you want? Do we bring our...

That is a populist argument that lacks any merit at all. Saying you want vague things like "freedom" and "change" are worthless. Pick out some serious goals like maybe not allowing health insurance companies to drive the economy into the ground.

Is that why it was so easy to get single payer healthcare passed? Reality contradicts the narrative you have created.

Right, because it is TOTALLY legal to just pocket campaign money.

What does that matter? When Republicans introduce legislation and then vote AGAINST it after Democrats support it they are being obstructionist.

Many Afghan warlords got rich by understanding this. They waited till the market was saturated with raw heroin and bought up as much as they could and stored it in caves. They then banned opium production for a year in their area and watched the price go to record levels. At that point they...

http://www.vbs.tv/newsroom/back-in-beirut-lebanon-s-drug-valley--2 I am a stoner and a weirdo who is interested in the international drug(s) trade. Tracking cocaine from it's roots in south America allllllllllllllllll they way to the middle east and Europe is pretty trippy. Just saw a report...

Heroin, like meth is not something that can be used recreationaly by many people. There will always be exceptions to the rule but I think tighter controls on heroin are just fine.

Or you could just make sure there is no reason to stop you and be a total dick about it like me.

Helmand provience produces most of Afghanistan's heroin and Afghanistan produces 90%+ of the world's heroin. As the marines push closer to the city of Marjah they will stop some of the export of heroin. Of course demand for H worldwide will stay the same and if places like Mexico and Southeast...

I am watching a documentary about the Mexican drug war and the fact that people STILL buy brick pack Mexican shit-weed makes me sick. You are responsible for the blood of innocent people, enjoy your smoke douche bags.
