What passes for political debate today is the equivalent of Cubs Suck! Sox Rulz! or Less Filling - Tastes Great. We treat Dems and Reps as teams or products to root for and against. We're one step away from tailgating and face painting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) You type that with a straight face? He has to be straight to be in the GOP

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 07:04 PM) There is in a way when it's being used for unprecedented purposes. But I'm sure this is business as usual for the Democrats. Exactly what the GOP has been saying, almost word for word.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) Not usually one to talk about Sarah Palin very often. But I thought this was interesting. She gave a speech in Calgary recently, and she admitted that her family would border hop into Canada to take advantage of their health care system. http://www.medicinehatnews.com/node/186723 Down here it is crossing to Mexico for treatments that are not available here or cheaper drugs.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 7, 2010 -> 10:07 AM) a pair of powder blue Puma sneakers, Powder blue? My son bought that same pair, what's up with powder blue?

I just found about 5 pairs of jeans that all fit and they were free. I've dropped 15 pounds since starting a new job. Those 38" waist stuff fits

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) Vegas Baby! Best thing about marrying a teacher is you always get a spring break. That is one of the reasons I am teaching . . .

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Wasn't he the guy that Walk saw 5 swings and declared that he was fixed. Yep, Walk has him right where he has had oh so many before . . . The Cubs have a goat, we have Walker . . .

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) Austin TX as well Tex! I'm not certain of my schedule yet. I do know I want to catch a friend of mine who is playing. I'll be staying down in San Antonio at my gf's parents.

SXSW in Austin for me. Music and beer. http://sxsw.com/

In this economy, any company that will hire you is a good company. Change later if it doesn't work out.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Funny thing is...there are people who wear $180 true religion and paper denim who thumb their noses at others who just wear regular Levi's from kohls, jc penney, and sears...BUT then the supposed "real" jean connoiseurs look down on and mock those pre-faded/distressed mall/department store brands since they're into $300 Japanese repro jeans made of Japanese selvedge, wearing them almost daily for a year without washing them. Me, I have a kohls card so I get my Levi's 501s for about $25 when they have the 30% off every month (slickdeals.net is nice), although I'm waiting for them to get some new colors/washes. I like how 501s fit me. Only thing I don't like is how fast they fade. I also found a pair of RRL Japanese selvedge made in the USA jeans for 45 at a marshalls. Only "high-end"-ish jeans I have. So I have about 8 pairs of Levi's 501s, couple of pairs of Polo, couple of j. crews, couple of express, and the RRLs, finding all of them on sale and never having paid more than 40 until the RRL ones. (I work at a community center so I wear jeans daily.) I have my choice of ties or solid blue, no designer labels, polo shirts and khaki slacks most days at work. Gee, that's a tough choice. A day or two we can wear jeans. Same rules, no designer labels. We consider Levis, Wranglers, Lees to be regular brands.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) Try Nordstrom's Rack who's she?

Jeans are regional. Someone poked fun at Wranglers, but if y'all are down in Texas, a pair of Wranglers, stacked on your boots, is the norm. Some fancy ass designer jean look fine on some city chick, but a real man wouldn't wear 'em. Besides, that's what George Strait wears.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) What are ya...old or sumthin'? Yer Edsel break down? I was driving a Cougar and my company forced me into a four door. Back in the late 80s the New Yorker / Dynasty had a similar body styling to the Cougar.

"Do these jeans make my ass look fat?" "No. Your ass makes those jeans look fat".

I owned a Chrysler New Yorker and was reasonably happy with it. I am currently driving an Intrepid which I am happy with. And I've had a couple three Ram trucks. I would not hesitate to buy another Dodge. Although currently I am leaning towards a Toyota truck as my next vehicle. Built in Texas and all.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Mar 1, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) I'm not sure I am even understanding this--wouldn't the bank not make money but rather just recoup their losses? Although this person sounds so mind numbingly stupid that I probably shouldn't even try to understand this. The borrower would gain anything above the debt amount in the sale. Most people do not know that. On the other hand, the bank usually will accept a lower offer to move the asset quickly. It is a stressful situation and people do stupid things in stressful situations.

Damn, the Olympics were on? I missed them.

Happy Birthday!!

You know, just wondering.

It really is a shame what money does to politics. No doubt that politicians need money to get elected and re-elected. Also, if, for example, you are an alernative energy company and NSS (a strong advocate of alternative energy sources) was running for office, you would damn sure want him elected and would probably donate to his campaign. He in turn would be grateful for the support and easily accept your donation with a very clear concious. Later, if an alt energy bill was being debated, and the dollars were displayed, it looks bad.

I love America!
