Powerfull lobbys and special interests which have been able to block any real reform in the past are still at work. Also it is an old saying that watching legislation being created is like watching sausage being created.Meaning the end product may be Ok but you really wouldn't enjoy seeing...

This was on last night on PBS.It shows how both parties went along with Alan Greenspan and others and his life long Liberterian view of how to control big players in the financial industry.Even Greenspan now admits he was wrong.Earlier he thought even fraud should not be regulated and him and...

Only game show contestants that are really to be admired for their "brains" are on Jeopardy.

Pool no,never was very good at the rgular kind eithier lol.

After sending these too MiniD she suggested I should start a thread on such a topic and as usual she has great ideas lol.The reason I sent these to her to make a long story short is my initials (of real name) are MM and I told her I used to use the line from the M&M commercials of the past which...

I'm getting an error message every post here to you as well.They go through but say there was an error.They have some bugs since they changed over I guess to work out.

Yeah I like those old commercials,here is one for them I had never seen, before my time. It is announcing new peanut M&M's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gtM_mmvDww&NR=1

But you must have M&M's there right? A vintage commerical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZFy_ugHkHA

Ok and you?

MM,those are my initials too lol. Used to use the line on girls from the M & M candy commercials.You know the one that says "melts in your mouth not in your hands".:D

Hey there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We already are at population levels which are totally unsustainable and the curve of growth in population is straight up.Living longer which we already do and better survival rates for new borns all sounds wonderfull but has it's consequences as well which mankind has and will probably continue...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091019/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_medical_marijuana WASHINGTON – Federal **** agents won't pursue pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers in states that allow medical *********, under new legal guidelines to be issued Monday by the Obama administration. Two...

He was half dead when he was president.Old geezer would fall ****** during meetings.We probably should have a max age for president as well as a minimum.

That speech was from Reagan in 1961,he was voicing opposition to medicare for the elderly.I guarantee you when he ran for president in 1980 he said nothing of the sort as medicare had been in place by then some 15 years and was universally seen as something that was good by then.Republicans...

They might be better off using them to stand on in the next flood.Are their plans on how to build an Ark in the bible?:bowdown:

Re: Lisa Sparxxx I hope you forward that to a mod Lisa.I have seen him in the talk section,just a trouble maker or just an idiot.He needs to be ****** for a while so he can "learn a lesson".

The players and their union were dead set against it. Rush during his short lived football analyst days on ESPN not only claimed the media was overrating McNabb due to his being black but also said a lot of the games seemed like battles between the bloods and crips.Nice to see that just cause...

While I don't really care for the flag waving type of patriotism the apts seem to be going way to far telling him he can't have one on his car.On their apt bldg is their call but not his car IMO. And the displaying of the confederate flag I think is exactly though the kind of flag they worry...

This reminds me of the line from the movie " A few good men".The Nicholson line where he says "you can't handle the truth".Thats a good way to describe the american people,they stick their heads in the sand and think they can just have it all. Spend ridiculous amounts on health care for...

Not really surprising,they are our cousins afterall.

Great post that just shows how out of control our spending on health care in particular in the US is unsustainable and out of control.Unfortunately looks like very little is going to happen to do anything about it as none of the bills being debated really take on cost controls.

[Strangelove's plan for post-nuclear war survival involves living underground with a 10:1 female-to-male ratio] General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I...

Yes this is a well known commie plot that was revealed in Dr.Strangelove by that great patriot General Ripper.:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6_KX7LsxQg

The Raiders might be even worse.They played the Giants today who had a real easy time with Oakland.Eli was able to sit and rest his somewhat injured foot before the 2nd quarter was over as the score was already like 31 to 3 by then.

I'm getting there myself lol.But let me throw this out there for consideration and this only pertains to racism as it applies in the US as that is all I feel able to speak to.And before I go any further I want to say to any non-white who reads this and finds any of what I post to be in any way...

Yeah that was awful call,but really it had little effect on the game.Twins still had bases loaded no outs after that and got nothing.Looks like the yanks are going to roll over them. I watch the Red Sox and wonder just how did they get in the playoffs? They need a lot of new talent as you...

Dead on Girk.:thumbsup: He would be rude not to accept it with humble gratitude which he has shown.And of course he won't be keeping the money,I don't think he would have ever even thought to keep the prize money,no president would.

I can't beleive there is actually debate on what the "conservative" view of the porn buisness is.Is there any doubt that they overwhelmingly think it's bad and destructive of what they view as the moral foundation of America and the world? I just laugh and shake my head when I read posts here...

Ditto on the missing.:(

Sorry to hear that,life can be real bear I know lol. I'm Ok ,waiting for tax season to start to get back to doing taxes for a living,first meeting start late this month,I get paid for those at least lol.Money gonna be real tight next couple months .

Hey there stranger,get my mails? lol

He deserves the award if not for just not being GWB lol but for also this single action alone so far as president. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/world/europe/07prexy.html "U.S.-Russia Nuclear Agreement Is First Step in Broad Effort" MOSCOW — President Obama signed an agreement on Monday...

We have been there twice as long as WW2 now.Bernie Sanders (one of the best politicians in america) said today he is going to ask on the senate floor ,what have we achieved,what will we achieve by staying longer and do we have another 100 billion to spend on this? Said to the girl on C-span, "I...

Hot Hot Hot Vanessa !!:nanner: I like the cheesy music that used to be used in porn,same few songs over and over.I hear that now and it takes me back lol. For the record though I don't think so called racism in porn is a big deal from my perspective.One of the less important problems in...

That video actually looks like the ****** was planned well in advance.Watch as others immediately are there to help the police officer once the *** is on the ground and others in the school just go on about their buisness like they fully expected what was happening.It's the cops former school...

Thanks Girk, much appreciated and you also get the truth of things IMO as well.:thumbsup: I read Vanessa's post and Mr P's response but as you say resisted comment.We go round and round here on such things and it doesn't get us really anywhere. IMO Hotmega hit it dead on.Vanessa was just...

Your starting to remind of another poster who thinks lots of things the govt does are somehow unconstitutional.What was the cry from the people at the time of the revolution? "Taxation without representation" was their problem.Health care being universal is not a new idea in the US,Teddy...

Yep those are the facts.Blacks have overwhelmingly voted democratic for some time now.While some more turned out for the last election and the % increased a little voting democrate from the very high number it already was that does not account for a big % of the vote obama got as you point out...

VERY funny .:thumbsup::1orglaugh Bet the death panel one is worth watching as well.

What it will take to get anything the vested interests in this country don't want done. Find some walls, line up the corporate dogs ruining our democracy, and wham let em have it!:ak47:

Wouldn't an all NY superbowl be awesome?:D Giants is no surprise being 3-0, but the Jets are a shock especially since they played the Patriots and the Titans in 2 of those.

With so many threads on Obama and how radical some say he and the dems are lets not forget about what those nice normal ****** values republicans would like to do if they had the chance. Case in point is the race for Governors seat in Virginia. Republican Bob McDonnell is and has been...

50% ????? I have never heard such an extreme amount. But for sure there is waste.One major part of the federal budget which accounts for about 1/2 of all spending can't even be audited according to the GAO.Not only can we not determiine how much is ******,they can't even tell where a lot...

She graduated last december.Lucky her huh? Click the link, she was apparently a fine student and person. Fell into one of those limbo positions ,job don't give health care, probably not eligible for medicade though. And I gotta say those who somehow again tried to make out she is to...

Whole documentary on how Fox lies called "outfoxed" from a few years ago.Much of it told by former employees of Fox news.Also you can go to google or Youtube and just put in "Fox lies" and get tons of examples.I think it's safe to say they lie or misrepresent the truth every day on their...

Wow she worked 2 jobs ,did all kinds of good things and gets denounced as being a material girl. She was a good person who possibly died of swine flu who did not get treatment because of a lack of insurance and people post it's her own fault somehow. Real classy.:mad:
