Gotta Love Kenny Williams, Seriously
so, what was the alternative response to this obnoxious, trying-to-be-jay-marrioti fan... "Ha, pain in the back good one. He sucked didn't he? Oh yeah, Bartolo really sucks, you nailed it."

Moneyball: The Movie
I think this is kind of racist, thinking a black guy has to play kenny williams. I mean, it's 2009 guys, we have a BLACK president. You guys are living in the past.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 6, 2009 -> 06:04 AM) Buy my ticket to Coachella and I'll let you crash at my place for 3 days. It's 10 mins from here. i'll buy your ticket if you buy my airfare...actually holy s*** whens coachella again after grad. I was gonna go on a cross country road trip I wonder if I could make it there in time. I went to bonnaroo 2 years ago when they started moving away from the s***ty dave matthews crowd. It seems they are trying to retain that awful awful base.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 07:25 PM) OK. I don't disagree with the general point, but, please show me how this is a "stimulus" item, and how it will generate positive returns. I don't understand how it isn't. There is a lack of demand right now. The gov't is fueling money into the demand market. They allocate funds to build a theatre, that contract goes to a contractor, that contractor pays his employees, those employees have money to purchase things, adding to the demand market. Let alone, the theatre then employing actors who are now not unemployed and so then purchase other items...and so on. But TAX CUTS.

sick of people acting like bipartisanship means complete capitulation from the party in power and then the minority party still doesn't vote for it.

Afghanistan and Obama's New Plan
Yeah. Iran has so much power in Iraq right now that we need them, (need, how scary is that), for Iraq's sustained success. Now, for afghanistan that's a different story. Pakistan don't have the centralized political power to help, and Russia doesn't have near the influence that Iran does with Iraq, but does not a lot about the region and has an interest in it. Overall, It will be a mess.

Afghanistan and Obama's New Plan
honestly, for some semblance of success in these two countries we need help from some unattractive countries.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 5, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) haha. you do know that you also have to play at the nation's greatest arena, AFH. I see KU splitting with Mizzou this year, but Self is doing a wonderful job with thte nation's 12th youngest team and getting 75 percent of scoring from underclassmen. dude, it's my senior year and the last time we beat you guys was when that white kid of yours missed 2 free throws to send us into overtime, and thomas gardiner was our star. But, also to be in the tourney too. God. Haa, before I had a college team, I used to think "with 64 teams, how the hell do you not make it in", and...it's hard to.

Afghanistan and Obama's New Plan
QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) The biggest problem is the second we lower troop levels in Iraq it will go back to being the way it was in 05. The surge really hasn't done anything. Iraq really all depends on Iran. They can f***ing leverage us with Iraq for their nuke program.

You may very well be right. But, "hey it ain't so bad!" would also be a misspeak.

"Stimulus" Bill Thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) I think they did, in a weird sort of way. In that way, to quote Obama's administration, this is a golden opportunity to pass everything we wanted in the past 25+ years and you just don't let things like this pass you by. I think "hoping" for collapse and recognizing the opportunity a collapse brings are two different things entirely. When things are going smoothly, it's hard to recognize potential disasters. When you are in the midst of disasters, it's easier to show the public what can help - health care, green technology, regulations, etc. The democrats always have social reform to bank off of, they may have been hoping for failure in Iraq, but really they had all the ammo they needed in the fact people were lied into the war and could paint the republicans as irresponsible hawks. I don't think the Republicans want any Americans to lose their jobs, but I think they are playing some dangerous politics for themselves right now.

Obama reveals his executive compensation plan
I disagree that this Democrat government wants to control every part of business. If they did, they would have done the swedish model for the banks, which they are resisted based off of appearance and, likely, philosophy. Look, what happened in the 90s when we were so prosperous, nobody wanted the gov't to hold anyone back, and some 60 year old laws of restrictions on business and banks were repealed. These are extraordinary times and nothing I've seen so far indicates any long term reaching by the government to get all up in arms over. That will come with reforming healthcare, a fight worth the struggle.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 05:18 AM) How can you say it's horrible? There's something for practically every taste in music. And Gov't Mule is like 16th on the list. Because the list will attract sweaty miserable hippies and all day outdoor festivals 8 bands worth hearing in a group of 60 and the bad bands being bands you know are bad and hate makes it an awful list. Bonnaroo sucks. Go Coachella.

"Stimulus" Bill Thread
QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 05:11 AM) I'm pretty sure what he's saying is that as of right now and the immediate future, the poor state of the economy still hurts Republicans and they don't gain from it. s*** stays bad they'll do much better politically than if s*** turns around, that's for sure. And this posturing that they are all the sudden so worried about being fiscally sound is so absurd.
