Roark's a pretty likable guy unlike Dagny Taggart or Hank Rearden, I think it'd be a fun exercise. But you have to read all her stupid bulls*** about architecture which comes across as retarded also the sex scenes. Meursault from The Stranger. i don't even know what my argument would be.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) I never understood that. Why can't they put it in neutral, turn off the engine or slam on the brakes (just about any car that isn't a complete POS should be able to out-brake its own engine)? thank you. I was wondering, for sure there is some way to manually f*** off the car. This seems plausible. No parachute needed.

quality jay leno impression

I think Obama is finally realizing that people dont pay attention to news, and has to show up and put on tv any negotiations with republicans, because people sure as hell had no idea that the gang of 8 was negotiating for 4 mos. while all republicans in it were never going to vote yes.

February 11th is going to be a very big day. Andrew Sullivan probably does the best job at aggregating links. Many brave people are going to die in the face of oppression.

QUOTE (JuiceCruz16 @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) The league should fine the school who bum rushes the court,/field like the SEC does in football, I think they do in hoops as well. It could easily be quelled! Very easy to establish a "guidebook', you don't do it or you get stung hard! Why? Its not like football where people were getting injured/killed by the goal posts, okkay, i like making fun of the illini. But rushing the court is amazing, its pure emotion. And i he when schools denounce it and act like they hate it, and then go and sell posters of the images of students rushing the court.

and then they have to, like, pass a dysfunctional congress where they can, like, lobby the hell out of it.

They know they like the idea that they can say anything they support is included in the constitution and everything they don't support is unconstitutional and likely communism.

Congrats Drew Brees

ah, i'm from naperville too.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) Yeah, I can't really denounce people who stormed the court yesterday since I did when Mizzou beat #16 Kansas last year. One thing I hated was Dick Vitale's preaching at the end of the game how bad rushing the court is. Dick it isn't your job to play fire marshal, so let the kids have fun and let us just soak in the image. I don't need to hear you stupid ass voice. If it wasn't kU though, I don't think anyone rushes the court.

It's not like the dude got 60% of the vote, he nabbed what, 20% or something? That's why primaries aren't always the best.

also didn't she rail against teleprompters in her speech?

haha

Yes, if they are so retarded that they think the president can raise his wand and make it so, they aren't paying attention.

And like I said, if these people are affecting money and changing the market because of a speech, than they are irrational actors

Excellent article by Greenwald ending this stupid memo that the constitution only applies to US citizens

It'd be easier to accept ss2k5's statement if numerous statements were not made in this thread of "ohp markets tanked moments after obamas stimulus speech heheheheheeh" "oooop markets went down as soon as the day opened after his health care speech hehehehehehehe" all over this thread.

You can't have it any way you like it. You can't criticize obama when the the market tanks and claim it was because of his policies and also claim that the market doesn't work off his policies.

if it's that simplistic, then they are being irrational. OH NO THE PRESIDENT SPOKE THE RADio SAID THAT HE IS SOCIALIST THEREFORE I LOSE MONEY OH NOES SELL SELL SELL. Either way they are retarded.

i think he's pointing out that either you have irrational actors or you are pointing to things that aren't proper indications for presidential approval.

who knows, but sub 2 inflation okay, 2 inflation OH MY GOD TAKE ALL OF YOUR MONEY OUT HOLY f*** WE ARE GONNA DIE.

it's okay, keeping 0 inflation is all that matters.

that Q&A was a reminder of why I voted for him. I want his governing to be like that. He should take that out to the people more often. He doesn't.
