Ask the card-carrying socialists: Is Obama one of them?

This is going to be ugly but I've been proven wrong before.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) Yes this: was an exercise in brilliance. Continue on. Don't bother. He always has to have the last word and is always right about absolutely everything. Quite possibly the smartest man alive.

Awesome movie. Stanley Spudowki FTW

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) There probably are. But that wasn't really my intent here. I have no problems with serious discussions on things, but when extremism creeps into the equation, from either side, it automatically enters the realm of 'pointless to discuss'. And I've noted that talking to modern day environmentalists (i.e. the global warming crowd), it's an exercise in futility. They don't want to have a serious two-way discussion. They just want you to acknowledge they're right, everyone else is wrong, and so long as you think just like they think, you're good to go! I guess I don't see the point of post 1726 then. You purposefully laid out some s*** to provoke people who might actually take the environment seriously which you don't. It'd be akin to me posting something in an abortion thread to mock those who are pro-life just to get a rise out of them and say "See. I just wanted to show people how you'd react irrationally".

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) You aren't "just like" them in the "I'm going to blow up innocent people" regard, but the extremest view on environmentalism IS just like theirs is on religion or hate. I proved that with this thread. By taking an opposite, yet TOTALLY ridiculous stance that embraces the anti-environmentalist movement, I should have been brushed aside as someone joking around, but what I got was equal and OPPOSITE positions to my position, which were JUST as ridiculous. The difference is, I'm not the one taking this subject seriously. Those responding to me ARE taking it seriously. TOO seriously. Such as someone replaying to me with the picture of a starving Ethiopian. My point was made. And it was made well. I thought there were rules in the buster for trolling.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:21 AM) This weather has been awesome. Once again, I welcome global warming with open arms. f*** snow. f*** cold. And f*** penguins. TOTALLY!!! WOOHOO!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:56 AM) In case anyone's interested in the view of the Obama NASA plan discussed yesterday, I managed to catch a rant on it from one of the guys who's been working with NASA since Apollo yesterday. When Obama's administration came in and got their hands on the Bush/Constellation program, they did what you might call a routine audit to try to figure out where things were. Brought in some of the top people and asked what their plans are and how they were going to accomplish them. I'm not sure if it was Michael Griffin himself or just one of the guys under him, but they put the simple question to him...how are you going to accomplish the mission plans you've laid out with the funding you have? The next day, after years of working on these mission plans...he came back and said he couldn't come close. That was it for that guy's employment. When they re-did the analysis of the Constellation/moon program, the outlines for getting back to the moon by 2020 were not only heavily underfunded, but also they didn't even have a rational program for the Moon or Mars in place. When we did Apollo, we did 10 years of test-flights to get the technology up to the point that Apollo 11 could happen. The Constellation outline pretty much involved scrapping all of the planning/test phases and just going straight there for both planets. This is of course nonsense; you'll kill people, but it turns out that was the plan the Bush admin was pushing. So, Obama's team is scrapping the 2020 goal for the Constellation program, trying to bring in outside funding if anyone wants to do so privately, putting the normal test flights that you'd require back in for both the Moon and Mars programs, which delays things by a decade since they're not cheap, and in the meantime focusing on Rovers while everything else builds up. Overall, I got the impression that a number of people are angry...because their jobs relied heavily on doing it the Bush way, but the people who don't have a horse in that race are fairly content, because they knew that the Bush method was going to get scrapped eventually because it was so poorly thought out. SOCIALISM!!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:32 AM) Pena is looking like another guy who is showing that a spring with Cooper can really help, and that all changes can't be realized instantly. Indeed. I had a good feeling about him going into this season.

Nice day to pick up a game in the standings with Mark going for us tonight and the Twins and Tigers facing Greinke and King Felix.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) It might be on Freddy, but the offense sucked as well. Winless when scoring 3 or less.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Kipwells needs to remove "Moon" from his avatar, because from this point foward I'll immediately dismiss all posts of his unless the change is made. The Sam Rockwell movie? I though that was excellent.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) And for lf, the point is you don't see Democrats devouring their "own networks". Which networks do they have? Just because MSNBC has a couple of very liberal opinion shows doesn't mean it's a liberal network. They have Joe Scarborough and Pat Bucahanan on the air almost as frequently. I really don't see how you can compare the networks. It's not even close. EDIT: And how many times must it be proven that Fox's regular news shows are just as, if not more, right wing than the opinion shows?

Top of the order now. Should get shelled here in a minute or 2.

Jesus. Get him out of here.

Freddy has nothing tonight. Pretty soon BP Amaco will be sponsoring his starts.

So I guess we can expect a decent offensive approach in about 1 in every 4 or 5 games. Sheesh.

What a bunch of dick wads.

Off to dinner. Have fun folks.

That one was measured at 723 feet.

ugh

Freddy is a machine.

Rios with a nice April so far. Hopefully he keeps it up all season.
