I'm shocked a bunch of people from the Clintons could not find scandals. Perhaps they were only looking for mistresses.

"Stimulus" Bill Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 03:54 PM) I'm all for FutureGen, but does it really belong in a stimulus bill? I know I've said it before, but this is just a massive spending bill with a couple of short-term pieces that will stimulate the economy a little. creates jobs investment in future technology This isn't just paying people to dig a hole and fill it back up. Stimulus bill is a spending bill. Synonymous. It's the gov't upping it's spending when the demand market shrinks. Spending on things like this could actually really help the country.

"Stimulus" Bill Thread
Yeah for one that 2 billion doesn't EXPLICITLY say futureGEN is the beneficiary, though it is likely. And besides that, I think it is worth it to continue to try out FUTUREGEN, if it can do what they say or think it can do, it is a fantastic investment. We have a lot of coal in the U.S., if this really can do with the CO2 emissions that it says it can, that 2 b is a good use of money. No green tech. is completely ready yet, so we are going to need to take some chances with money, but something will prove worthwhile.

Music Thread
Best part about wayne is he basically said f*** lyrics and went after pure flow based rap. His shtick is all about how it sounds, how the words come out and play with each other and uses the same words for multiple definitions. Is it less powerful? Maybe, but how much longer can I base lyrics on selling coke on content? Besides Clipse? Nonetheless Georgia Bush was also where wayne killed it. Eminem was a whiner too, ooh no my mom took pills, ooo i'm poor, boo hoo people criticize me... who cares.

WOW. Made me run for a quick fix of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO2tCBteW7U who said they were the best that's out there? They are just fun shows to go see in the city.

Michelle vs Palin
QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 30, 2009 -> 05:10 PM) I'm not a fan of the media by any means but that's a pretty standard Republican theme and tactic. Taint the message before it arrives. If it's positive for you, you win. If it's negative, claim bias. Whether the bias is really there (it is sometimes) or not. Palin was treated unfairly for a period of a few weeks (right now she's getting more attention than she's earned, IMO) but really she made herself a target by claiming to be something she's wasn't (which people eventually figured out), then mocking her opponents, not backing it up with anything substantive or halfway intelligent, and whining about it endlessly afterwards. and closing herself off from the media. Also, when you claim to be just a modest hockey mom just like you and not like the elitists on the coasts, perhaps you shouldn't go dressing at the elitist clothing shops.

Cubano, you're extrapolating quite a bit. How many people went there, lets say 200,000, this is a nation of 300,000,000, so... you think that far less than 1% of our population could not afford to travel to Washington for a few days?
-
That Obama guy
no one is arguing that scenario, but in this thread cubano has said both that poor people pay no taxes and that rich people pay no taxes, Both are obviously incorrect. I don't know why we always have to argue for the lowest common denominator or the worst extremes, People are working hard. Sometimes the government needs to make up for the demand in different markets in times like these. It's not socialism. I don't really pay anything except local taxes, however, I'll say that.

Obama's Cabinet and Staff
Yes, their suicide is fun to watch, that said, I don't think Obama will do it. You think the republicans are happy they didn't eliminate the filibuster now? It's poor showing, I think, to do what we are saying.

That Obama guy
That 40% pays taxes cubano, they just don't pay the income tax. They get taxed on a large percentage of their income.

Duke, all the groups you've mentioned are pretty much decimated and near dead. In their heyday I think the ETA actually was important, but you are right these groups are brutal. The Tamil Tigers' tactics are revolting, and reading about them makes me squeamish.
