Way more fun when the dumbass bulldozes his half of a house he's losing in a divorce.

I envision the words coming out of his mouth in green . . .

It does seem like a cool career

I'd rather the market dictated the rates, but that doesn't seem to be working.

I seem to recall that Hillary had some high negative numbers, that didn't stop the GOP radio network from annointing her the next candidate. If palin gets around some good campaign people she could be a factor. It's a shame her own party doesn't appreciate her. And after rereading the Perry article in Texas Monthly, I could really rally around him. They could be a great ticket. Two Governors from huge states that weathered the economy better than most.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) The jist of the stroy was more geared to those lower income families. Obviously someone making $100K that is out of work is not jonesing for the food stamps and federally fund health and day care but those in the lower income to lower middle income side was the focus. And was noted, the lower income earner does not get anywhere near the same amount in unemployment. Someone earning $24,000 per year would receive somewhere around $240 per week or $12,000 per year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) You mean the person who actually led the polls and voting until about halfway through the primaries? I am still not seeing the similarities there. Almost immediately after Bush won, Rush and the GOP radio network started promoting her as the #1 Dem candidate. No one could beat her, etc. She had more talk from the other party than her own. And the GOP strategy of picking the other party's candidate came very close to working. Palin - Perry 2012 For All Americans!

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 10:40 AM) correct, it's just a CPAC (which is mainly going to be activists and hardliners) strawpoll, but it is supposedly somewhat of a 'bellwether' for the GOP. The CPAC crowd is one in which Palin should poll strongly. And yes, I'm sure there will be large voter blocks voting based on TV ads and celebrity just like in 2008 when Obama won. and anyways, no one is going to stop you guys from obsessing over Palin. The funny thing is that like 99% of the Palin posts are from you guys. lol Kind of like all the GOP Hillary posts

Can anyone post a file? And Jas, you certainly have a face for radio!

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 08:45 AM) I think Republicans do go to those events, but more of the Ron Paul wing of the GOP. I don't think anyone is going to beat Ron Paul in a vote at a tea party protest lol. CPAC is a little bit different, Mitt Romney won the past 3 votes I believe, with McCain in second last year. If anything, Palin should win or at least be very competitive in a CPAC poll. She wasn't even close to winning. But anyways, I don't think Ron Paul or Palin have a chance at the GOP nomination. Ron Paul just has followers that will go out of their way to vote in every straw poll, internet poll, whatever. So they are polling the 1% of hardliners and activists? Seems like it will be the common, populist candidate that emerges once the "only pay attention when ads are running on TV" vote.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 08:35 AM) CPAC allows anyone in attendance to vote in the strawpoll. Palin is more of a dumbass celebrity than anything else. Which does explain the Dems obsession, they love to read about celebrities and follow every thing they do. But I thought it was Republicans that go to those tea party events. Dems follow everything they do, GOPers vote them into office, Arnold, Ron,

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 08:23 AM) It just goes to prove that all of the garbage trying to paint the right wing of the party as in love with Palin to justify all of the coverage and obsession given to her is totally for their own purposes. It has zero basis in reality. The tea party regulars love her on the circuit. Maybe they were not polled. And as soon as Perry announces, all that will change.

Teams when with surprises. Someone comes out of nowhere and has a career year. Actually a couple guys. Very few teams win with 25 guys playing their usual game.

not one thread? Awesome.

I lost both my grandparents and my uncle to cancer. Sadly, that is not a unique statement to make. For them, and several other personal reasons, I amy participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. This is the 10th Relay that is being held in my area, and I am hoping for 50 friends who will each donate $10; or 10 friends who will donate $50, or one friend who will donate $500 The link above will take you to my web page at Relay for Life. Thank you all.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) This is weird. I hate reality TV with a passion, but this will have Ozzie on it. I'm torn. X3. I have never watched Survivor, American Idol, or any of the others. But this one may just tempt me . . .

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) is there ever a bad time to cook up a pound of bacon? QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) When visiting your Hasidic Jewish in-laws? Another two day old joke Tex stumbles upon.

The guy started out pretty cool, but after his fourth or five in 90 minutes he started becoming obnoxious. He said he was down for Spring break. Which was even funnier, the crowds are still a month away. Poor guy had visions of women flashing and he gets four old guys at a local's bar.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Yep, things are going great. Winning hearts and minds by killing their children. Oh, wait sorry it's just "collateral damage." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8518885.stm War is hell. Which is why I cringe when athletes use that analogy.

Hmm, which one was I? Four of us old guys sitting at the bar discussing surf, cars, and women. We know a little about one, a little more about the other, and agree we know nothing about the third. But fortunately we have someone half our age to explain it all to us. As he is "drinking us under the table" and holding his liquor like "a real man" the following exchange happens. "I can drink 12 of these (holds up beer) and not even feel it" "sucks to be you" "whaaaaaaat" "It sounds like you can spend $40 at the bar and not even feel it" "I'm a real man!!" "Alcohol is a chemical reaction in the brain. Most humans process it the same way. It's simple biology and chemistry. Obviously you have some mutation and can't process it like the rest of us." "It effects me. I just don't show it." "That's a learned behavior. Basically you are telling us you drink a bunch then force yourself to not act like you've been drinking. That's kind of goofy. Why not just not drink as much?" "Can you tell I had 12 of these!?" "You had seven" "12" "seven" "I can prove it. Hey bartender, bring me my tab and show these guys I had 12" "Do you take a GOLD card here?" "Yes we accept gold cards. If they are credit cards." Bartender buys us a round, apologizes for the drunk. "You don't have to buy us a round." "I didn't, the dumbass only had seven, but if he insists it was 12, well the customer is always right!"

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) I laughed, although Im not quite sure if that qualifies me for a one way ticket to hell now. Move over, I'm sitting next to you . . .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) There would probably be a nice sized EITC in there as well. that is a nice bump. It will be the last one I see for a while (hopefully)
