Good God, I know it has only been a few minutes, but Boers and Bernstein has been horrible? Is it like this everyday?

QUOTE (DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) I love MLB.com's division series preview page of Twins/White Sox vs. Rays complete with logo. That would be a matchup worth watching but not sure where they'd play games 3 and 4. The nuetral site of Milwaukee!

QUOTE (Soxy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 09:52 AM) Sidebar, but how is Lisa Madigan doing politically? Does it seem likely she'll stay as AG or is there talk of her running for another office? Her and Bill Daley are the big names being circulated for the next governors race.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 02:03 AM) Is it possible to be the Governor of Illinois without getting arrested? With the way the power structure is set up in Illinois, I don't know if it is possible to be a politician in that state without being corrupt.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Its an act of terrorism. Absolutely. I hope they prosecute them just like a terrorist.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) I assumed that's what he was talking about, but the way he said it it seemed like such a non-sequitor. Its one of those seemingly worthless tidbits of info laced into both candidates responses that demonstrate they get beyond the big glowing positions, and actually have a feel for the details on the ground.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) Also, what was the deal with the "South Koreans are three inches taller than North Koreans" bit? It has to do with the level of chaos and non-health of the general public there. Millions of people have starved, and much of the country is malnourished and not properly cared for.

No winner thread?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) Can we all agree that after every debate a massive bomb should be dropped on the spin room? I hate the spin room. We'd be better off without it. NO doubt about that. I turn it off when they start. For my money, I was impressed with the debate. Both of them are far and away better than their respective candidates of 4 and 8 years ago, it isn't even funny. It was a very intelligent debate by both.

Seriously the first time I hear a Democrat on here say the McCain is better than Obama at anything, will be the first time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) So, aside from just saying "This is a horrible idea", I'd love to hear a better explanation. That type of tax seems like it would provide a strong incentive towards long-term stock investing, while providing a huge disincentive to attempt things like day trading and all of these currency swaps that have gotten us in to this trillion dollar hole. Here's an argument as to why it would work, I'm actually interested in hearing the response as to why it's a particularly bad tax proposal and specifically why it would be worse than other methods of raising similar amounts of revenue. If you think day trading is the problem here, you have been listening to too much propaganda. At the end of the day a day trader is flat and has exactly zero effect on the commodity in which they are trading. For every buy they execute, they also sell. To blame them for trillion dollar hole just demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of how the markets actually work. It would be like instituting an email tax to stop internet porn.
