9.3 trillion deficit spending over 10 years http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/03/20/...bama-Budget.php probably a bit conservative of a number, I would suspect if trends continue 15 trillion is probably more accurate. a complete meltdown could be looming.

You know, though, that's JUST the message that Democrats are sending. After this week, it's pretty much proven. But I have to love the OBAMAMania! that is taking place, and I think this picture displays it nicely. I understand the "history" and all, but holy s***... this guy IS a rock star, just like I was mocking last summer. IMO, his Leno appearance is tacky, at best, forget the "special olympics" comment, which is stupid to even be discussing anyway other then the fact of the hypocracy as I noted in another thread. Dumb comment, but not worth the stupidity coming from the right about it. My point remains, this guy loves the attention and is one very arrogant man. I think those protestors are confused. The AIG bulls*** is in no way capitalism.

i really thought Utah st was going to beat Marquette most my picks are going well so far

Mike North is ruining America

And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had." http://newsbusters.org/node/14050 oh thats great.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) Yeah, judging by the bills they have passed, that is an absurd idea. The 22 DVDs were probably a $2 million dollar earmark.

terrible. all around. lousy offense, wimpy defense, no rebounding

cutting the lead down a bit. not sure it's because of anythign Illinois is doing that well on D, WKentucky is just missing shots. Offense is looking better though

Got called in for Peter Parker... so fingers crossed. They offered it to Jim Sturgess of Across the Universe fame but he's turned it down... i'm hoping it stays that way. haha good luck man. hope you get it

'Soccer is ruining America' haha

Duke playing sloppy so far. they're lucky Bingham looks terrible as well

Louisville, Uconn, Duke, North Carolina Uconn vs North Carolina North Carolina

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) WASHINGTON (AP) — Sources say the Obama administration will send $5 billion in aid to troubled auto suppliers. And it continues..... more free money

Some Senator: "would these bonuses have been paid without the bailout?" New AIG guy: "No, we would have gone into bankrupcy and restructured those contracts" but why restructure, you have hundreds of billions in free money. bravo AIG, lets toss in a couple trillion more. More bonuses!

Throwing endless money into a failed enterprise doesn't work. I think AIG spending $10,000,000 in new offices is bulls***. They should be out of business.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) I remember it as a hilarious thread but I forget what it started out as and when it was so i cant go try to find it. I doubt it was ever resolved either. haha i remember that tread. also can't remember what started it

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 12:55 PM) This doesn't make any sense to me. People didn't like him before, but he wasn't in the press much or anything, so what was to discuss? He comes up in the news, we discuss him. That isn't obsessing, its reality, and most of our discussions here are prompted by something or someone being launched into the headlines for some reason. The only reason it's a story is he said something unfavorable about Obama. You are proving our point. No one cared about the lousy reporting before. The suggestion that the outrage is over bad reporting is very suspect.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) Plenty of people here have been critical of the media for not seeing/ ignoring all of this until it hit them in the head well before this whole Cramer-Stewart episode. This issue became a national discussion, so is it any surprise that it was talked about more here? It's not surprising. The point is that people are obsessing over one guy because he cricized a president they really like. All the media that missed/ignored this potential disaster should be on the hook. If the media can get a 'free-bee' if they have terrible reporting but never criticize Obama, things aren't going to improve.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) No one? I'm pretty sure that I, among others, noted what a hack Cramer is, in this forum, well before this s*** hit the fan. from what i can tell no one here respected the guy before, but they also didn't obsess with him B.O.C (before obama criticism)
