How about a lyric thread were the first person posts a topic, you reply with the best example you know of lyrics about that topic. For example Post 1: Social Security Reply Post: The Who: Hope I die before I get old Then that person picks a topic. I'll start Topic: Cheating Girlfriend

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 23, 2007 -> 03:32 PM) Just because there is a link posted on drudge or something does not signify the MSM is covering it. How did MSM become the gold standard for journalism? I never carfed for their coverage, never really paid attention to them but so many people here seem to care about them.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 23, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) They do represent their district, else they will lose the next election. Almost no one respects these windsock politicians that change their mind 2 twice a week based on which poll just came out. But hey, if their constituents like that kind of politician they will re-elect and thats fine. However, I agree, the only true way to have the will of he people is to go 100% off polls "In the news today, the GOP 'tax cuts for everyone' bill has been passed and been implemented. Only to be revoked 2 days later. And then passed again" fixed

No matter the why, it's wrong.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 02:15 PM) So what does the Iraq War and the budget in Il, Chicago, and/or Cook County have to do with each other? At some point isn't it all taxes? Isn't it all to run our country? When we say we are taxed to death, that usually means everything from Federal Income Tax to the tax on gasoline, property taxes, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, "sin" taxes, tolls, hotel tax, etc. The Feds mandate certain programs, but leave it up to the states to fund. Perhaps the worst aspect of how we pay taxes is how many different ones we have and how impossible it is to add up. The politicians have even severed the tie of why we pay taxes. It isn't to actually pay for what they are spending, it is to stimulate the economy.

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane. A pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day when the New York Times said "God is Dead" and "The War's Begun". I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing. Love of mine, someday you will die. We've already said ‘So long’. I don't want to see you go. Oh you had better go now Because something about you makes me say wow. We got a wham bam shang-a-lang and a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing. Every shing a ling a ling That they're startin' to sing So fine.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 10:12 PM) why even have representatives? just have all legislation be based off a CNN poll Representative. If they are not representing the wishes of their district, then what are the representing? Special interest groups?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 04:53 PM) She made no objections until the polling data told her to say something about it, you mean. I guess listening to citizens is a weakness. Good thing GOP leadership would never listen to what the public wants

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone One day you're up and the next day you're down, you can't face the world with your head to the ground. You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes Ohmigod, shoes. Rather than I want to hold your hand, I wanna swallow you whole. I wanna give birth to your baby, baby Scream all night long. Seven screaming diz-busters should go the route and die. Just to let you know, you blow my mind. You've blown it all sky-high by telling me goodbye And I'll be high as a kite by then. I went to a party the other night. I wanted to fill my brain with light. And yeah, I told her that she smells like Kurt Loder. I can dig it, he can dig it, She can dig it, we can dig it,They can dig it, you can dig it, Oh, let's dig it, Can you dig it, baby Shake it; shake, shake it; shake it; shake, shake it; shake it; shake, shake it; shake it like a polaroid picture. As long as you're wearin' clothes that fit ya. In worn out shoes with silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants, the old soft shoe. But you're a bum bum ba-dum...BUM! Please tell me where have all the hobos gone to. I see no light a'burning down by the rusty railroad tracks. And if I can't find my way back home it just wouldn't be fair. Waitaminute, somethin's wrong. . . this key won't unlock the door. Do me a favor, open the door, let 'em in. Lawd, there's a man down the road. It might be your man, but I don't know. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola. She asked me why the singer's name was Alice. I said listen baby, you really wouldn't understand. Out on the road late at night, Seen my pretty Alice in every head light. Alice, Dallas Alice. Every minute of every hour, I love a sunflower Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high I know you like to think your s*** don't stink, but lean a little bit closer see roses really smell like poo-oooooo Run for the roses as fast as you can. Your fate is delivered, your moments at hand Hard Work will Set you Free. Hold out your hand and ask for some. Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water. Well I love that dirty water Black water keeps rollin on past just the same You don't have to worry though you have no money. People on the river are happy to give. Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man. Everybody knows I'm him. Some people call me Maurice Well now, they often call me Speedo, but my real name is Mr. Earl. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. So I finished watching Dog Day Afternoon, stoned out in a house unfamiliar to you. And everything here is so real, you can feel it. You are everything and everything is you. Oh, you are everything and everything is you. It's All Too Much for me to take, A Love that's shining all around you. All the world is birthday cake so take a piece, but not too much. I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. Well, love is all around me, and so the feeling grows. You make my heart sing. I want to spend my life with a girl like you. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba! Dreamin' ... of a girl like you to come into my life. Cos youth's a mask but it don't last live it long and live it fast" I know this ain't nothing very deep but its good fun so don't run into the crowd. I'm in with the in crowd, I know every latest dance. I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance You sing the Pink Love Fuzz and dance the Musty Queer I stay at home cause I'm the mouse. M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 02:16 PM) Would any other Presidential Candidate from the last 8 years or so have invaded Iraq and done so in such a foolish way? Yes. Many more than will admit it would have invaded Iraq. And yes, depending on who they brought into their cabinet. I don't see the President sitting around that eight sided building and knocking out strategy. So that President probably would have picked one of the stinker of choices they guys in brass came up with.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) Sounds like a plan to me. And about as realistic as most of the trade ideas around here.

The confidence problem could be I can't do well, so oh well, why try?

There is a mechanical, inevitableness to our government and I believe that is one of our strengths. We can elect the worst person possible or the greatest and the net effect is not all that much. Another way of explaining, taking the middle of the road, you ain't going to push the country to the left or right shoulder. At best, you may nudge it one way or another. So those that expect great changes from either party are being silly. Small directional changes, rarely large ones.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 22, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) There is some value in his candidacy. The other night he was discussing campaign laws and how he can't use colbertnation.com he has to use a different one. Btw checkout colbert08.com If it sparks some interest, and a few more people vote, that's a good thing. It is almost exactly like when soxtalk attempted a serious election, with a series of debates and hopefully thought evoking speeches. Instead, someone decided to fore go that process and resort to spamming for votes. Why would you think that applied to you?

I hope when they catch the arsonist(s), they are charged with manslaughter or worse.
