Stimulus Bill Redux
the research has stated that only a very small percentage of those that received the credit would've not purchased the house w/o the credit. The rest were just going to buy a house anyways and got free credit.

The Republican Thread
I'm guessing cknolls and alpha dog missed when Rahm called moveON and the blogs "f'n stupid" for going after blue dogs, in addition to when Hillary came out against moveOn during her campaign.

The Democrat Thread
so, um, I posted it and no one cared. The CBO estimate of the republican health care bill showed that it, uh, did nothing. Covered 3 mill people. Doesn't require coverage for pre existing conditions. BUt totally gets those trial lawyers.

the credit to homeowners appears to have been a disaster.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 12:46 AM) So your dream scenario involves filling an emergency catcher position? ? He wants to be able to play both AJ and TF on the same day. He's saying with CJ up we still would have a backup catcher in case AJ/TF whoever is at catcher, gets hurt.

Illinois Senate Seat News
I don't know. I don't get it either. My guess is the republican party is legitimately worried about a minority, but sizable faction of formerly reliable republican voters consistently going for a Hoffman-like candidate. And if 13% of their voters are consistently going that way, they obviously will have a hard time. But, I don't care. If they think Sarah Palin is a legitimate tool for good instead of just a legitimate tool, then I'll just laugh and take the victory.

My candidate for jack-ass of the year
Libraries, one of those incredibly socialist policies championed by socialists like comrade Ben Franklin.

NY23, etc. He's going to run, run run run run to the right to survive his primary, then run hard back center if he wins. It'll be questionable whether people'll forget.

Healthcare reform
I'm scared how much leverage the Republicans will have with the CBO report about their health care plan. I think this will make the dem plan dead in the water. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11...most-nobody.php

Speculation: Johnny Damon to White Sox?
I'd agree if they'd won 9 W.S. in a row, but as it stands, eh.

Student suspended for having a pocket knife locked up in his car
I think if a school finds a kid is doing drugs and is on an extracurricular I think it's a good idea to remove him from the team.

Stimulus Bill Redux
yes, i'm talking about the war that kiilled thousands of americans, and is easy to support and put magnets up, but not as easy to lose friends to. There is a difference between lies that lead to deaths, lies that lead to torture, than lies about government successes. But seeing as how you are so familiar with how people lie, Y2HH, i bet you didn't support the invasion at all.

Just a reminder...
interesting s*** going on right now. One awful video of a police officer to a young woman. Chants to Obama that he is either with them or against them.

Just a reminder...
for the record, it's been said that: it's almost better for us this green movement WITH ahmedinjoud still in power, as we'd have more leverage. The green movement in power would still likely pursue nuclear weapons capacity, etc.
