QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) They're not. Why is this ridiculous? They are guaranteed health care under the current house bill. There was an amendment proposed to take this provision out and it was shot down. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationw...,0,887725.story The latest CBO analysis of the house bill also said that illegals were not covered. The only places I see reporting that they are are Free Republic. Pretty funny to criticize others for only getting their info from their blogs, huh? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/st...ts-health-bill/

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) no illegals denied, this is why I don't read what you say, you can't write a post without being ridiculous.

props to the media for giving the crazy assault rifle wearing whackos, birthers and deathers, and I haven't seen a single person on any of these shows asking people affected by the health care system.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) Bloddy hell. I've proposed 4 or 5 ideas myself besides tort reform. But no one wants to hear anything but "government must step in and take this over because it's such a mess". Screw it. No one wants but what the talking points are fed to them by their respective blogs. I stop reading your posts after I read something ridiculous, so rarely do I get past the first sentence. The problem is the only place real pressure is going to come from for change from the insurance industry is the government. So it's either status quo or the evil government is going to have to act on the free market system. So I suggest you call your representatives to put together a plan instead of just playing obstruction.

ahh the slippery slope, the domino effect. If we let gays marry, what's next DOGS MARRYING PEOPLE!?!?!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 03:17 AM) This is a pretty common thought with any band. the earliest stuff is always the best. I used to be a huge 311 fan, but their new stuff is just unlistenable to me. Music-GrassRoots-311-Transistor is just a really hard thing for them to find again. I disagree. It's only true when it's true, some people just run out of ideas. Should be noted that Matt Sharp left after pinkerton, then the bass driven songs gave way to crappy pop guitar and rap lyrics. Rivers is a joke.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) Very little, especially nowadays, is a true free market. But government control is one way to kill what little competition is left. SS said it a minute ago - and it's sad - those who want this so bad just keep accepting every Obama talking point like it's right on and this is the best thing to ever happen. There are alternatives to start fixing this (hell, let's try addressing the PROBLEMS themselves instead of a complete takeover, what a novel freaking idea that would be). No, can't have that, because liberals have had a hard on for health care since the 1930's and they are the closest they have ever been. They will not give this control up... not like they did in 1993. I've heard no solutions from the right besides tort reform and frankly, when states have done that there has been very little change in health care costs. This system is broken, it's causing bankruptcy in businesses and families, and limiting mobility from those afraid to lose health benefits or start new businesses. People aren't choosing to work or not, get health care or an iphone, they are working to get health care and spending absurds amount of income on it, and then might get dropped when an issue arises that they need it most. God save this free market wonder, the American Insurance industry!

we can at least all agree that Brett Favre is a piece of s***.

Gordon beckham is awesome

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) The 2006 Cardinals also didn't add an ace to their rotation like we potentially can if Peavy comes back healthy. If you go into the playoffs with: Peavy, Buehrle, Gavin, Danks, you have a chance. They had a lot of injuries and people came back in september. They were a better team than their 83 win game record showed, because when full steam they were what you saw in the playoffs.

I sleep ten minutes before work, and I still wash the f*** out of the dishes.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) Are you sure Brent is coming up? Last I heard, he still had to ask his parents first if he could come out and play. Those night games can get pretty late.

Did Obama kill Les Paul with his death panels?!!?!?

I tend to think it doesn't matter. We all thought they had momentum after the perfect, and not so much.

Great job guys

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) Someone else said this perfectly a while back. But for out of towners, often you end up watching a game by yourself or with people who could care less about the White Sox. So watching a game with Hawk broadcasting is like watching the game with a buddy. my friends (Columbia, MO via St. Louis, so cardinal fans) love Hawk. They think he's hilarious.

I don't even want to answer it because it's not in the bill so we are arguing about something that doesn't exist. It's allowing the patient to decide legally.

damn I forgot how long the colbert report has been on.

ugh. nothing more embarrassing than white people, amirite lost?

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:58 AM) You can't score a run that way, though. well then I'll shine things in king felix's eyes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:53 AM) The hidden ball trick, aka Felix Hernandez's slider? No, no, I respect the joke, but I'm going to bank my reputation on this. We are going to win with a play straight out of little big league. (or rookie of the year I forget)
