QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 12:32 PM) David Gergen, moderator of the Brown Coakley debate last night in MA: The debate was moderated by CNN's David Gergen. Near the end of the debate, he had two questions for Brown and Coakley each. After putting Brown on the spot over Roe v. Wade and "climate change," Gergen turned to the Democrat with his hardest hitting questions of the night. "Do you think it was right to insist on three people being at the debate?" Gergen asked Coakley. Yes, she did. He followed up with this doozy: "As you look back on the campaign, do you have any second thoughts on how the campaign has unfolded?" "Absolutely not," she said. What media bias? And IF Brown wins, they won't certify this thing until health care is done. They already said as much. But it's highly unlikely that Brown wins. Highly, highly unlikely. With that said, if he did, holy s*** what an indicator that is. Even if it's close, it's still a pretty good indicator that people are pissed off.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) but that's the problem. people think that govt should act like individuals. nothing could be further from the truth. you don't have guaranteed income over time, they do. you have a short life cycle, they don't. your total assets (at some point) will start to go down. theirs will always increase. you may not get more/more money every year, they typically do. you can't borrow at rates near inflation, they can. it's a whole different economic formula. Wow. Just wow. This is the problem with you and people like you. Government doesn't have to be this way, yet, we've made them this way. It's EXPECTED that our government grows and grows and grows, thus by default, taking away from the private sector.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 04:39 AM) The past 5 or 6 years have been a direct lead up to an event like we are about to witness with Sarah Palin. Galvanization of punditry for hyper-partisan stupidity has been translating into rating boons for quite a while now, and not because of entertainment value or integrity. They're not even mouthpieces or anything like that anymore, they're the defacto leadership of both political parties. Pundits set the talking points and how they will be utilized, think the 9/12 project. Palin is simply assuming a role leading up to 2012 where she can get maximum support. Palin supporters are absolutely rabid, and if they can destroy one administration (and they have) it'd make sense to believe they could elect the replacement. Palin is the perfect realization of the inevitable outcome in which a politician would be keen enough, or just in the right place at the right time, to take a media role as a vehicle to the president. Sarah Palin is going to get the Republican nomination in 2012 and she's going to win to presidency. Hard to even know what that is going to be like, but the means to that end have been stirring up for quite a while now. Holy frijoles, I actually agree with you. And I'll add this. It's the EXACT replay of Barack Obama, only in reverse. Now, I will also say that I really hope that it doesn't happen, because I do not like Sarah Palin.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) Actually yes he did. He'd guest-host or at least appear for Carson during his latter years, and the Tonight Show ratings would go up, not down. I don't get why. He's just not funny. Oh wait, we already talked about this. Baad dump.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) I believe Lostfan would like this posted here. The Obama facebook update. Orzsag's baby spouting out wave functions. Nice. lf sent me a link on facebook... I love these... they are funny. I like the Bob Ross pic as the art teacher.

If China sneezes, the rest of the world gets really sick. Or something.

I'm Blacker Then Barack Obama LMAO! This is hysterical.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 07:50 AM) 29-33, 379 yds, 5 TDs, 0 INTs, 154.1 QB Rating More touchdowns than incompletions. Wow. I know the Superdome will be rocking Saturday, but how do you stop that??? I guess thats why the over under is already set at 57 Anytime Warner has a game like that, he follows it up with misery.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 07:57 AM) Yeah, Windsor is not the greatest experience because they cater to all of the 19 and 20 year old Michigan kids. You have got to get further into Canada for a good time. Funny, I was just telling the "epilepsy" story last night.

I wonder what Comcast thinks, since they majority own NBC now.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) Hey look, Reid is an asshole. Shocking. +1

Voting Coffers for Democrats 2010 ™ And I'm only semi-kidding, because the way that the whole thing is structured, unemployment is going to look beautiful in the late summer compared to right now, among other things. I've heard it said that Obama's sitting on a $2 trillion dollar election fund for the next three years. And you can't really argue against it if you're looking at it fairly.

JerryBowl gets another big event. That place is a money machine.

So, if the Cowboys win and NO loses, JerryBowl gets the NFC championship game? Aye.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 09:49 AM) I love Michael Steele. I would too if I were you guys. He's the male, black Sarah Palin. Yea, I said it.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Its you last collegiate game ever, and the NC. My arm would have to be ripped off before I ever left the field. Hell, maybe he couldn't throw, but one of McCoy's biggest assests is his ability to run the ball. You could have rotated QB's to take some of the pressure off of Gilbert. Run a lot of the zone read or option with him. I firmly believe his NFL future played a HUGE factor in his decision. And his arm was ripped off. What part of that can't you understand?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Dallas was awesome tonight. Home field treats them well. Actually, I hate to say it, but they've kicked major ass since they won @ New Orleans. They demolished them over there and haven't looked back since.

When I was 7, there wasn't anything. Well, I think pong had just come out.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Well I am the person who had an NFL player (who had to go out of his way to get my number) text me on draft day to rub my opinion in my face and THEN choose to wear my high school number in the pros just to spite me.. It's always about you, isn't it? That's just funny.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) McCoy seems like a good guy and all, but there is no doubt in my mind the only reason why he didn't come back was because of his NFL future. And yeah, that is the smart move in the long run, but I still feel he completely abandoned his teammates. Plus, that clip of him chit chatting with VY and smiling and joking made me sick. Seriously, your team is about to lose the NC, and your joking around? Your not in the game, but your teammates still look towards you. And yeah, they reported he wanted to come back in but was recommended not to, but thats BS. Since the x-ray was negative, there was no medical reason that could prevent him from coming back. If he really, truly, wanted to come back in, there was nothing that could have stopped him. I would have at least liked to see him attempt to throw a pass on the sideline. Also, its a shame many of the lesser bowls were far more exciting than all of the BCS bowls. Best bowl game this season, Outback or GMAC? or other? QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) He couldn't have come in in any capacity at all? Even run an option or a shovel pass? Nothing? Hell, even a decoy. I know if I was a player on Texas, I'd still feel a bit slighted. And I know for a fact that there are at least a few guys on that team who aren't the biggest McCoy fans right now. It's going to be annoying listening to people suck his dick for a while. Wow. Nice posts there by you two. There's no one that gets to a championship game and wants to come out. No one. Ever. I'm no huge Texas fan, either... but saying that McCoy didn't want to play or should have been a decoy or that his teammates hate him or whatever for this is a pretty damn stupid thing to say.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) I picked Philly but the 'Boys made a believer out of me, they have a good shot at going all the way. For the love of God, please no. Of course, I don't know who to hate worse, the Cowboys or Favre.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) The Republicans would never have lost an election in history if they were treated fairly didn't act like Democrats.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 11:17 AM) oh absolutely. the only problem with that, in this environment, is that new small businesses can't obtain credit to grow/acquire what they need to get things off the ground. Better have some angel investors lined up. And that's not happening. Money's still more or less locked up.

Saving and Creating, Baby.
