Wasn't GS one of the first to pay back its bailout money? On purpose?

I think the best Republican commentator on CNN is Ed Rollins. He criticizes liberals without being insulting or obnoxious. Not that I watch cable news anymore though.

Peterson makes Favre a much better QB than he actually is, since you need to have extra defenders near the box or otherwise have a game plan to slow Peterson down.

That's not entirely out of the realm of possibility, he does stuff like that.

Orton is not why the Broncos are 5-0 though.

Quick follow-up to the Glenn Beck Satire site: Has Glenn Beck Denied Raping and Murdering a Young Girl in 1990? I swear, although this is tasteless as all hell, the satire is pretty brilliant.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Yes and no. The weakening dollar is a partial cause of this recession as well. You're already starting to see energy prices go back up as a result. Yea, they say "global demand is picking up" but in reality, it's not. Not in any large way. So, weakening dollar means higher energy costs that are pegged to the dollar. That's a small part of course. But China is trying to figure out how to get the money into their own people's hands. I was reading a WSJ from a couple of weeks ago and they were saying that the government is trying like hell to get the people to buy the s*** we Americans can no logner afford. There's a supply glut of crap over there and they can't figure out how to get rid of it. The Chicomms are not going to produce anything here, that's a farce, although the governor of Indiana and a couple of small town dips***s think they will (f***sticks). The Chinese struggle with the goods being dispersed among their own people because it starts driving more and more materialism, which means they tend to think more "free", if you will. That creates instability eventually from the communism/government side of things. Anyway, the falling dollar is a big story - bigger yet once inflation starts - and sooner or later, it has to - it happens every time government is the main beneficiary of stimulus. I was talking more about domestic consumption in the US as opposed to us buying cheap Chinese s*** like we've been doing the last 20 years, of course China wouldn't produce anything here, that would be stupid if you were Chinese. The Chinese government has a long ways to go before they get their people spending like we do here.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Well, there certainly has to be an endgame. You can't just perpetually do it, duh... but in times of deep recession, it's something that has proven to work well IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, which is where jobs should be, not the damn government. I believe there's a sweet spot somewhere, that you can raise taxes to a certain point before it starts negatively affecting the economy. The problem is that tax increases are taboo to mention even when they're necessary. I don't know why it's political suicide to suggest minor tax increases for people in my tax bracket. Seriously my entire family is not going to go bankrupt and die if I have to give an extra 600 dollars a year to the feds, after they give me multiple tax cuts over a decade or so.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) WTF is wrong with you? I agree, again. I've been thinking about it, and I'm starting to believe a weakening dollar isn't the worst thing in the world if it means we start getting manufacturing jobs back here. China's got no other choice.

I don't think the judge is racist, just dumber than f***. Like StrangeSox was saying, interracial kids have such a hard time getting accepted that they only get the worst jobs, like President of the United States.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) What? I did that on purpose. I was joking... thought it was obvious enough not to need green I kind of figured you did, I was just f***ing with you

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) Even though I've known this, watching that video just made me think about how I love all the basketball powerhouses 4 of our 5 starters were from: Central Arkansas, NE Oklahoma St, New Mexico, and Miami (Oh). Haha. Maybe Paxson's way of building a team (by drafting guys from highly successful programs) is all wrong... I think it's funny you left off UNC who happened to give us the greatest player ever, I guess you really don't like them. lol

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) Yep, Chills every single time. It's just a flood of memories. You're about 20, 21 right? I'm so glad I was old enough to remember all those years vividly. That's a once in a generation kind of thing not just for the city but for an entire sport.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) News Orgs: Cute White Blonde Woman/Girl > Any women of any other race Pretty much, I really can't understand it. These 2 incidents happened 2 weeks apart: JonBenet Ramsey Murder Toya Currie Brutally Raped, Left for Dead in Cabrini-Green Stairwell Everyone knows the first, most people outside of Chicago (and some in Chicago) never heard of the second. JonBenet was 6, Toya was 8 (Toya is still alive, but severely disabled and can't speak). /hijack

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) Would this really matter at all even if the kid did fall out of the balloon? This ranks pretty high on the list of unnewsworthy things that have ever happened. Unusual s*** is newsworthy. This definitely qualifies as unusual. However, I'll never stop complaining about Missing White Woman Syndrome.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) Because most Floridians are either idiots or nutjobs, which i can attest to. And Florida's cops are as stupid as LA cops are racist.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) /points up Also if you show up at court and the officer does not they may drop the case for want of prosecution. I received a ticket for talking on a cell phone, got in an argument with the police officer and he finally said "Im not even going to show up." I went to court, prosecutor continued the case because the officer didnt show, at the continuance officer didnt show again and they were forced to dismiss the case. It's pretty much automatic if the cop doesn't show up, I think. I had a cop give me a ticket for going the wrong way down a one-way (not as dumb as it sounds, the street changed from a two-way to a one-way at the intersection I turned on) and my court date was for Christmas Eve. I said wtf dude I live out of town and I don't even know if I'll be in the country that day... he was like well you better find someone to show up for you. Coincidentally I happened to come back to Chicago and was in town for the court date and the cop wasn't even there. lol. f***ing dick.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) What year is this??? Interracial couple denied marriage license That's the stupidest f***ing logic I've ever heard, I really just had to laugh. For the record my parents have been married almost 30 years. Society has accepted them obviously and if it didn't I really don't think they'd give a s***. Society has accepted me. I could not give a flying rat's ass whether the black community accepted me as black or not. That would be my problem though, not a judge's.

Drug rehab and treatment programs > mandatory stiff penalties, incarceration, etc. but that's an argument for another time, another day.

Obama wants to force feed me meth? Sweet, where do I sign up for this?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Now I'm hearing it was a hoax. Where are you hearing this?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 15, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) If this was a publicity stunt by Falcon's daddy. Falcon's daddy needs a good old fashioned ass beating. QFT

Correction, they got the BALLOON down and the kid wasn't inside, they don't know what happened.

They just got him down apparently (looking at Fox at work)
