Yeah, not really sorry to see that POS go.

A pro-college argument: http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives...y-education.php

Yeah, so whatever fault on GS, Greece, or EU for not following the law... but what I haven't seen (not saying it doesn't exist), is articles or news on whether the EU is doing about these budget constraint laws and how to help countries in their union fundamentally f***ed because of the euro. Like Spain, for instance, Spain was not cooking their books, they were in good financial shape. And as spain goes, so goes portugal. The housing bubble brings a flood of money into Spain, their wages go up, and then the crash. But, they can't depreciate their currency, and they are forced to stick to these budget constraints, and so they are just forced to be especially screwed. Now, I understand that if you are gonna benefit from the increaded power and flow of the euro, then you need to blah blah when it fails. But are they doing anything to fix the labor problem within the EU with things like this?

TTFN Bayh.

I don't think "scary" entered a single review of let the right one in I'd ever said or seen. I think the setting of Sweden did loads for the eeriness, the blood on the snow and the cold in general.

I put the pessimistic I'm concerned. It really isn't that I don't think this roster could win this division, because it certainly wouldn't be shocking, nay it would would be a disappointment if we didn't. What makes me evermore angry is it seems like Kenny is taking huge not-needed gambles on offense when he has the first or second best pre-season rotation of his tenure (depending on how you want to use foresight with 06). I don't see any reason to experiment with bad offensive players on offense when it appears 5-6 mill would have done so much to secure this offense. We could have never been explosive, but we could have at least been "good enough" and now it's like Balta said. We need a run of things, I guess like 05. Lexi needs to be his rookie of the year lexi. Ditto CQ his MVP CQ. Rios ideally needs to be 07 Rios. Beckham doesn't have much room for regression. Pierre please god re-create last years numbers over a full season. And it would do a whole hell of a lot to have a consistent Paulie and a 35 HR paulie, though that's just a fool's projection at this point.

In the selection of cheap wines in Brazil (now that I think in Reais instead of dollars, well, I have for months, but beside the point) I do love Rio Seco's malbec and bonarda, their cab, however, not so good

after re-reading the intitial thread you are posting, you are confusing us taking the state of texas as a joke, with us taking Perry's comments as a joke. The latter is just a complete fabrication.

ugh, I can't imagine anything worse than moving to the big ten conference and having to deal with their fans.

I thought it was parque that got really effed.

Indeed, I have been surprised by the Tigers interest. It's good to hear this but I'll believe it when I see it.

these are nonviolent protests and will continue to be. So nobody is really taking arms against their country. A potential revolution will not be bloodless, but it's not going to be a civil war.

Irannewsnow has been pretty great. And they are more optimistic than I would imagine. Here is them countering the NIAC: How can one say that “the government of Iran managed to keep opposition activities largly on their terms today”? Under what basis? Hasn’t the fact that the Opposition has used non-violent protests for 8 months to counter the regime’s lies and brutality, to the point that the regime cannot stop the protests, cannot prevent the videos from being broadcast instantaneously to the world, and now has had to seemingly calibrate its brutality to the point that it is starting to try to reduce casualties, actually shown that it is the Greens that have the regime on their terms? Think about it. The protests took place, thousands entered the streets and chanted against the regime with slogans like “Referendum! Referendum!” and “Free Political Prisoners!”, they confronted and faced the regime forces–and this time, the regime had to use so much more security presence than on past protest days–and they suffered far less casualties than on Ashura and many other bloody protest days. This means that the regime cannot stifle the voices of the people. It is being heard loud and clear, both inside Iran–even on official government channels to the behest of the regime–and outside Iran, to the world. This means the regime simply can’t stop this cycle of protests against them. They will continue to get weaker, more cracks will form in their islamo-mafioso social structures, more of their money has to get spent on paying for their vast security apparatuses, more pressure will be applied via sanctions targeting the IRGC, or the threat thereof and more Iranians, from more cities, towns and villages add their voices to the calls for freedoom and justice. http://www.irannewsnow.com/2010/02/live-blog-22-bahman/

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas...3246956530.html about halfway down you see that this is most likely a huge lie just to take the focus off of the green movement hand have a bunch of neocons huff and puff to go attack.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) Well we know they cannot sell their interest in GM for a profit because GM would have to have an all time high mkt cap in order for that to come to fruition, and methinks if it didn't happen in the boom years for GM, it will not happen now. Unless we get the CBO to do their analysys and maybe the WH budget office to give their take, then we'll probably make $50 billion on the deal. Ahh, yes. The CBO is of course a democrat institution now. the whole world is against you all. The whole world. You have no power. You poor blokes.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Well the 2 largest budget deficits did occur with a Democratic Congress. and why would that be CK? Pray tell, if Obama came in under a budget surplus of bush (and also without 2 wars), instead of a crippling recession, do you think it would have been the biggest deficit ever? Could it possibly be that revenues are much lower than they would be? You are good with money, you should be able to figure it out.

the basiji will not turn on the government they are just a bunch of thugs. Today was a major blow. I think this is the last gasp and it wasn't a big one. Reports are that Mousavi's wife was beaten up. And the complete control of buses and security forces beating the crowd with chains was enough to do it in. Hundreds arrested, only. The already small odds are likely miniscule now.

Kap you take up the positions of people you also disagree with often.
