There's some counter-logic against the CBO numbers. Yes. Everything government is the (g)od's honest truth. It's the only thing that can fix everything while still lying through their teeth.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Oooooohhh. I was in 4th grade for that. I am old. Dang.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) wtf? Awwww come on... damn, don't tell me you're too young to get that one.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) It's mentioned in just about every report about her nomination. No, they haven't attacked her over it, but ideally that's not the media's job to do anyway. Wow, then why did they do it for the last 8 years and CONTINUE to do it every chance they get (with the exception of about two weeks after 9/11). I agree with you, but they certainly do it every opportunity they get. See Sarah Palin. I may not like or agree with Sarah Palin, but she does get treated a whole lot different then someone with a (D) behind their name. Not to mention Sotomayor... I mean hell, if this were a ® up there, she wouldn't have even made the hearings, she would have been forced out. Kind of like pubic hairs on a coke can, or something.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) Children under the age of 10 should not be allowed in a rated R movie even if a parent/guardian is present. No children under 4 should ever be allowed in a movie theater. Period. Bravo. Not unpopular.

I think I called this one, oh, about last July/August.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) Because if you actually read the context, it's totally not. I've read the whole damn thing she used it in, and I've read at least three other times she's made the same point. She's aboslutely 100% racially biased. Why's she scared to admit it? I mean, after all, affirmative action is how she got to where she is. If it's so "bad" then she should be able to stand behind everthing she's ever said. So why hide it? Try again, Mr. everything the Democrats do is the best thing EVAR.

Bigsqwert is a swell guy. Kapkomet is the most genius dude ever. Even more THOSE are unpopular opinions.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) Nobody's made an issue out of Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment? Nobody? The "MSM" hasn't. And obviously those Demcrats on the Hill like to twist it around as "no big deal".

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 02:19 PM) Yeah? Kind of like this, right? I just find it lol-worthy because you'd think Steele would know better. You have most Republicans trying to back off any perception of racist nonsense and about every couple of months or so you hear someone saying something dumb making them all look bad, or doing something dumb (racist e-mail in TN where she apologized not for sending it but for sending it to the wrong people). Then you have Steele saying something that is awfully close to sounding like an ethnic stereotype as the head of the GOP. Facepalm. Michael Steele is a f***ing dope. But, it doesn't matter one iota. I was commenting on AHB's point, and it would absolutely be less of an issue if a Democrat (or affiliation) said something racist. Witness this week's SCOTUS circus.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 02:12 PM) Imagine if a white democrat said that... Ok, I will. It would be "misinterpreted" and blown off as the equivalent of a "gaffe".

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) Oh don't mind Bearsox. He's married to Victoria Jackson. And Obama killed their babies, which is why he has no proof of their marriage.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 09:21 AM) How do you have time to read when you have all that cooking and cleaning to do? I know you're kidding but sometimes I wonder about your sense of humor. By the way, I think this is the only time I have said this in my life, but I agree with Jimmy Carter re: this article. Wow. (Goes and slaps himself... ). Now I'm going to go get myself electrocuted. (Seriously. )

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) What's the deal with the Sox game afterward? We all on our own? It's getting close enough to the game that we ought to think about pinning that back up?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) If this indeed an extension or addition to START, then you are correct, he's evading the Constitution here by not going before the Senate. But if, as I said earlier, it was just a mutual understanding with no intention of force of law, then he doesn't need to do that. Its a fuzzy but important distinction. As I stated, just to be clear, I'm not bashing the dude for this, just get the Senate to vote on it. That's it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Are you actually certain of that or are you just guessing? It'd be an interesting constitutional test actually to see what would happen if the President ordered the dismantling of a large number of nuclear weapons and then Congress used its budgetary authority to prevent that from happening. I know it is. It's an extention of the START treaty that is set to expire Dec. 5. They were talking about how they could use some executive orders to get around this until the Senate passed the treaty if they needed to. It's a formality, of course they'll pass it (which is completely fine) - so they need to get about it just to prevent some sort of "power grab" from the executive. I mean think of the blaspheme if a Republican did this. Just sayin'. The main point is you need this check that is in the constitution adhered to - so just get it done, no big deal, without regard to party.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 03:31 AM) He is Commander in Chief of the military. He can do that. Actually, no, he can't. Why don't you read the constitution? And for the record, this IS a treaty and must be eventually ratified by the Senate.

lostfan, you suck, and f*** you. YES! I love this thread.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 02:28 PM) Eh? You're not one who does that. Or are you saying you agree but just don't want to open the can of worms I laid out there? I agree with you. I mean, people *should* be that way all the time, but when they just pretend for three hours on Sunday, it's juuuuuust a bit silly. I freely admit I need all the grace from God I can get.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) The "status message preaching" on Sundays is annoying as hell. Especially when the way they come across is like "Why aren't the rest of y'all religious like me? You really should be!" and sometimes more condescending than that. I'm fine with that if you're like that throughout the week and you post various "praise the Lord for X" status updates because that's how you normally are but don't be such a jackass about it and start acting all pious on Sunday. It's Facebook FFS. Yes sir. I'll stop now.

This inning right here is why the Twinkies are in our heads when we play up there. What a load of horse s***.

QUOTE (ObamaKnowsBest @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) Tried that. I know how to change it, it's just not working. Says this....The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem Uploading of avatars, etc. should now be fixed.

Potty training kids SUCKS. I'll leave the details out.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) Why is there an imageshack "Anti-sec" thing occupying my screen on soxtalk? ?? Were you talking about the banner? I changed that, you shouldn't see that anymore.

Evil motherf***ers. Throw them all in Guantanamo!!!
