    Black Friday

    37" LCD HDTV. I can't wait to get this baby hooked up so I can see what everyone's raving about regarding NHL HD broadcasts.
  2. QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Nope, you misread what I said. I didn't say he was honest. I do say that I don't think his testimony rose to the level of perjury. If you and I were sitting there in that same EXACT situation (not being a political person or POTUS but a common every day citizen) we would be sitting in jail. Don't kid yourself, Rex.
  3. I don't want her to get ANY attention other then to just go away.
  4. I'm so f***ing sick and tired of this stupid Queen b**** running around talking about "For 15 years, I have been the object of the Republican attack machine and I'm still here." Even if it's her own party, it's the "Republican attack machine". Whatever, b****. GO THE f*** AWAY...
  5. QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Exactly, and when you are employed in the US and need to speak to a foreign country, you would be speaking in that language. Look at all the US businesses that have subcontracted work to non English speaking countries. For example all the maquilla's here on the US need Spanish speaking employees to communicate with their plants in Mexico. We have a thriving call center industry here because of the number of Spanish speaking employees, Hotels.com, Ticketmaster, and many others all have call centers here. No doubt that English is the language around the world, but English ranks third in the world for first language, behind Mandarin and Spanish. And it is always better to communicate in your first language, than second. Imagine if you are a customer overseas buying American products or services, one employs someone who is fluent in your language as a native speaker, and the other does not. Who will you be more comfortable with? In business everyone is looking for an edge, and speaking the tongue is one of the edges in International trade. That's absolutely not true.
  6. QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) Passed! And won an argument about whether or not Bayes' Theorem can account for learning effects in speech. WOO! HAPPY THINGSGIVING TO AN AB-motherf***ing-D ME! Glad it went well, Soxy. Is Thingsgiving kinda like Christmas at Thanksgiving?
  7. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) If Mr. Obama wins Iowa...just watch what happens in NH. Iowa decides everything. In this case, I hope you're right.
  8. If Obama gets Iowa, and finishes a close second in NH, it will get interesting in a hurry.
  9. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 03:02 PM) I may be very wrong, but I still think Hunter is all about the money. Anything else I believe is an act. For once, I agree with you.
  10. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 02:12 PM) And there you go right down the slippery slope. Its not really lying, so Bush gets away with it too. Its politics. If we don't have standards for our Presidents, we don't have standards as a country. He lied under oath, and half of the country make excuses for him, while the other half wants his head. The sad thing was that wasn't even the worst thing he did, but that is a discussion for a different day I guess. *cough* China *cough* But that's just a conspiracy concocted by the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Wackos"...
  11. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 12:16 AM) Actually I really respect the guy for actually admitting that all of the answers to all of the issues. I like the fact that he is willing to leave certian things to states rights, dispite the possibility of them going against his personal beliefs. I respect that a lot. I have yet to hear anyone else take positions like that. Which is why, unfortunately, he will not win. Damn near everyone in this country wants a handout from the FEDERAL government, and it all sounds soooooooooooooooo ooooooooh sooooooooo ohhhhhhhh good, doesn't it? That sound you just heard was your federal government screwing you over again.
  12. QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 08:44 PM) These investigations by Congress are not happening because they think Bush will impose martial law and invalidate the constitution. And I wouldn't put it past the Son of a b****. In fact, I'm not sure this presidential campaign will amount to a hill of beans, and if someone else does in fact move into the White House, it'll be more of the same. Regardless of party. Come on YAS. Bushie is a stupid ass, but he's not that far of a whackjob.
  13. QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) Texsox- One thing I don't understand from reading your posts is this sense of a "right" of Mexicans (or immigrants in general) to come here or to have access to our economy. When did that become part of our system? Tradition doens't hold up anymore, especially since traditionally immigrants came here to stay and assimilate - that's definitely not the trend now. For the most part (and there are exceptions) these people do not give a rat's ass about "assimilation", otherwise they would come in the country in legal avenues. I do find it interesting the sympathies related to the immigrant's plight and there is no sympathy for the effect on the economy and country as a whole.
  14. /please excuse this interruption What a cesspool of s***. Can you people who are playing "pretty" just stop it? No one "KNOWS" anything, yet. If you want to speculate, fine. But this tit for tat garbage is ruining this thread for the last 10 pages. /back to the thread
  15. QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) See, i think Edwards would be Obama's best VP. They are very ideologically similar. That would make for a unified ticket. What would Richardson bring to the ticket? Just curious, I really dont know. I would NOT vote for Obama if he chose Edwards, but I'd think about it if he chose Richardson. That's how much of an asshole I think Edwards and his "two Americas" bulls*** is.
  16. NorthSideSox72's Virtual Wall Plan ™. I like it.
  17. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 03:49 PM) Yeah, I am sitting here in Burlington, MA, just down the road from NH, watching the snow fall. And I have to fly back to O'Hare tonight. Stupendous. Stupendous.
  18. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 03:42 PM) Whats theat awesome texmex place where Cuban goes sometimes and several mavs go. I cant remember the name but it was awesome the few times I ate there. There's two or three good ones downtown... I'm not sure which one you're referring.
  19. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) The irony is that if you stop and think about it this has "Clinton" written all over it. They love to dealt stuff out through proxies, and anytime they get caught doing something bad, the first thing they do is blame the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy". Its pretty much identical to questioning "patriotism" anytime something bad is brought up on the right side... As long as you have that boogieman to blame, you can skate. The Clintons did it for eight years in office, and there are no signs through this campaign that anything is changing now. And as you can see by Balta's timeline, there's always a "good" reason or justification for the Democrats to do what they need to do. Now those evil Re-pube-licans on the other hand... they're shady as all get out, and they need to be examined, you know, the full anal probe.
  20. Well, *if* there's a meeting, I could all but guess one or two places where they'd go. Remember, Torii lives right outside Dallas.
  21. 820AM will NOT have any information like that on the air. So at least that part is bulls***. PERIOD. Let's stop that right part right now. And yes, I'm in Dallas. Any other snooping around that ya'll want me to do?
  22. QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 10:36 PM) I don't think the Dems thought he was of questionable credibilty with the Valarie Plame affair. Amazing, isn't it?
  23. They choose to come to the border malls because buying American is coolio! And I'm only half kidding. Like Alpha said, if they wanted to spend their money at home, they would already, and OVER TIME the wall won't make a bit of difference. Short term impacts will be worse then long term. Mrs. Clinton, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!...
  24. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 02:29 PM) So what is the story if this is true? http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23467 I called this two years ago. The Clinton Spin Machine is ready... just in case.
