:lol: :lol: But I don't really care right now. I got my job back. Ahhh, it was a good summer....

AmEx is looking for a handout now. But I dont really care right now. Cuz I gots me a J-O-B!! Palinishot.

When are you guys gonna stop screaming about Palin, and Bush and start going after Congress!! They are giving away the farm and you own it! They have yet to form an oversight committee or provide the transparency they promised!! UAW and other related Industry unions have their hands up Dems asses thats whats driving this BS. Go chapter 11, reorganize, and try it again. Stop laying bad business and behavior at the feet of the folks! Toyota labor costs to make a car? ~ $38.00/ hr GM? ~$78.00/ hr-- Difference? Union contracts. Now get smart and get competitive! Circuit City is looking for bailout... And Goldman Sachs is holding 6 Billion for Bonuses.

WOW what happened? I reposted my self. I need a college edguckashun to figure this internet thingy out.

Don't be a snob, DD. Come on, I went to a community college for 3 years after flunking out of a state school. And I get by just fine. Not every one can be an educated elitist! She ran a state very well with an $11 billion budget--- How would you do with your 4 year degree? Wow, she lost and she is still getting hammered. When do we get to move on? I realize she may not meet your standards to be Prez, yet, but It shouldnt take a rocket scientist to use sound judgment and common sense decision making principles. Plus, thats what advisors are for. Can't wait for Bidens first mistake in office. It will be interesting to see how that gets covered hear. Oh wait, he wont. He will disapear into oblivion and will not be permitted near anything resembling decision making or policy, he'll be the coat girl at the WH. Fair and Balanced FOX kicked every bodies ass in viewer ship, and had more combined Dem/Ind viewers than Rep. The most watched show in time slots. Some one is watching them, and not seeing them as a conservative outlet. That can't be said for rest of TV press. In the tank for Dems and the numbers show it. You Anti-Fox guys need to adjust your position based on facts, not perception. They aint perfect, but they are way better than CNN, The Big 3, MSNBC.. and the other insignificant news outlets. They have prominent liberal commentators and policy wonks on all the time, and Alan Combs is a died in the wool "progressive". And O'Reilly is the king of the time slot by far, and may be cable news in general. Somebody is watching. Read some of the Pew Research center info. They are non patrtisan and highly regarded. Make up your own minds on the media.

SO the old and ignorant voted for McCain? I know some folks under 30 that I wouldnt trust with a vote. And the urban youth population? I beg to differ on BA, BS. We can't get kids out of high school. This is just a pissing contest now. It's simple. I want a reason to vote for this guy in 4 years. If he accomplishes that, I assure you the country will be back on track. Thats right, if he meets my standards for success, we will all be in good shape. :lol:

Kinda weird, but my town is a small conservative leaning community in CT, and it was like 5-3 McCain. State went over the top for Obama. And approved same sex marriage, or what ever it is. Us and Mass, but not Cali. Thats real weird! No Republican Congressmen or Senators in all of New England, 22-0. Hows that for taxation without representation if your a Republican up here!! Oh well, we shall see.

And I can't find anyone who voted for him. Must be my closed circle of associates. Then again I havent talked to my 2 friends who are teachers.

Cult of Personality. Commemorative Kennedy fitty cent piece with Obamas head on it, gold of course, with red, white and blue back drop. Don't know if it was diamond encrusted or not. 152 days in the Senate voting "present" and 650 days on the campaign trail gets your picture on a coin. Wasn't a cover on Rolling Stone enough for now? Daughters sought after by Disney to be on Hannah Montana Show. And surprise, major news outlets admit slant in coverage. He was more interesting than McCain. The Hollywood Prez. . Mother-in-law moving in to WH. Thats cool. It will be easier to give her Secret Service protection there than where she was living. Necessary, but weird. I can't remember another Mom living at the WH.

Pelosi looks to introduce bill for Big Auto. And get this, no specific amount! Open check book. I said let 'em burn at the beginning of this thing. Politicians would have taken a bigger hit, putting their precious jobs on the line. Thats what eats my ass. They are not doing whats best for the country, IMHO. Who's next to line up for cash?

I can't believe this is good, govt helped cause this now there helping with our money to bail them out? I'm a simple man and maybe I don't get it, but someone needs to go to jail. And pay back what they stole in salary. Big Auto is a dangerous ib=ndustry to let fall, but when does it end. More good money after bad? When do I get my bailout? I got it! I know, I'm a genius Perfect Solution to Financial Crisis From a European astronomy organization, we learn about the discovery of a "magnetar." Here's the background: "Astronomers have discovered a most bizarre celestial object that emitted 40 visible-light flashes before disappearing again. It is most likely to be a missing link in the family of neutron stars, the first case of an object with an amazingly powerful magnetic field that showed some brief, strong visible-light activity." But here's what's really interesting -- please forward this immediately to Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson: The most likely candidate for this mystery object is a 'magnetar' located in our own Milky Way galaxy, about 15 000 light-years away towards the constellation of Vulpecula, the Fox. Magnetars are young neutron stars with an ultra-strong magnetic field a billion billion times stronger than that of the Earth. "A magnetar would wipe the information from all credit cards on Earth from a distance halfway to the Moon," says co-author Antonio de Ugarte Postigo.

More for AIG? Big Auto gets 50 million. American Express also? WTF!!

Oh, thats you in the middle, mofo, fosho.

Git down, boogie, oogie, oogie!

Bailing out auto industry to preserve those jobs. 50 billion total. Wheres that money coming from? JOb losses means less treasury revenue from taxes. WHo ya gonna tax? Rich folks. Who creates wealth and jobs? Rich folks. Who's gonna put their money in offshore accounts and pay accountants to show losses? Rich folks.

Old Fashioned recipe Old-Fashioned Glass 2 oz bourbon whiskey 2 dashes Angostura® bitters 1 splash water 1 tsp sugar 1 maraschino cherry 1 orange wedge Mix sugar, water and angostura bitters in an old-fashioned glass. Drop in a cherry and an orange wedge. Muddle into a paste using a muddler or the back end of a spoon. Pour in bourbon, fill with ice cubes, and stir. Hey, how'd you get my jacket? I've been looking for that thing for 25 yrs. Did my wife give that to you? I'm gonna kick her ass. Now what am I going to wear to Disco Nights at the VFW hall?

Nice, you keep the whiskey in the freezer. Boiler Makers at Mikes house!!! I gots the KettleOne there and the Modello Especial ready! Thats my fad beer for this summer. But that shit aint cheap! On topic. Wonder what Obama drinks. Could tell a lot about a man. :lol:

Ahhh, I thought this thread was dead! If I think about it enough, it seems the electoral college is the hedge against an uniformed or "fucking moron" vote. However, NY and Cali have so many electoral votes that the middle of the country can go unrepresented very easily. Now, lets consider a man that has spent less than 160 days on the job, yet became Prez of the most powerful, wealthy, and influential country in the history of the world. That could scare some folks, me a little. He's smart. But he's gotta be a dumb ass taking this job in this time in history, with the country a mess. His big plans will take a back seat until were straight again. $450 billion for health care? Wheres it coming from? Nothing is free. 2010 will tell you how he's doing, mid-term elections always do. I'm watching these guys, we all should. The Dems have the reins, now lets see what they can do. Its interesting thing. Because we are the largest consumer nation in the world, producer country's take it in the mush when we have no money to buy. Iran is a mess because they over produced oil when it was outta control and didnt hedge for low price times. Same with Venezuela and Russia. Thats good. It keeps them in their place a little bit. We didnt have to fire a shot in Georgia, we just pulled business and cash out of the Russian stock market. , and they folded. Thats our biggest weapon, not nukes. Money and investment, and no one does or has more of it than us. Chalk one up for the free market and capitalism. I love them both! But I love Mike more.LOL

Market down again today. But I bet you dont drink cheap beer! :D

The infighting has begun in the McCain campaign. It's all Palins fault. And staffers are scrambling to cover their ass's. They were so incompetent....The Stupid Party. Be what you are, don't try to please every one, you'll end up pleasing no one, and you'll lose your base. wheres all the Mass stoners? Decrim of less than an ounce plus medical maryjane? My back hurts and I can't sleep, Doc. And I get an upset stomach from any oral meds. But I've got a bong, so whatta ya got? CT approves of gay marriage, and has a conceal/ carry law, and I'm right next to stoner heaven. And Vermont wants to secede from the Union. Thats some weird shit raht thar. New England for the win. ;)

True enough. It happened here also, but I noticed it was true of Dems equally. No one wanted to be affiliated to anything! I think its an attempt to get independents and undecideds as apposed to being embarrassed or something about their affiliation. ONe guy, Chris Murphy showed up on the ballot twice. Once as a Dem and again as some 3rd party candidate, Family Party or something like it. Weird.

And don't forget your prediction that Palin would bail! "i don't believe she'll make it to election time. she'll back out do to some daughter preg. problem or the need to be home with her special needs 5 month old." I'm making tons of money on you, Mike. Betting the opposite of what you say!!! :lol: October job numbers came out and uncertainty of Obama economic intentions. Plus profit takers from the recent market climb. You got hosed by timing of the reports!!!

Dude, they must be going nuts over there! SwedeFish and BadVolvo are plotting a military coup in Sacramento! :lol:

Wait, your not an American citizen? If not I respectfully say STFU! I don't see any whining here, just what-ifs and what-nows. And most of us on "the other side" have wished the new Prez well, and true to form for true Americans we'll be behind the guy because he's ours. Now go tend to the Hindu Vs Muslim issues over there, Poverty and the growing Aids crisis and sex slave problems. Noticed a lot of misaligned teeth over there also. The rant on the Ivy League suggests you couldnt get into a school of that caliber, or am I wrong? Listen to me, I went to a community college :lol: . Yup, I'm a tool, but youre way off base. And check the popular vote, not the landslide you may think. " You'll never fit in! Now you come to elf practice, learn how to wiggle your ears, chuckle warmly, go hee-hee and ho-ho, and important stuff like that. A dentist! Good grief!" Am I being too mean? And anyone who would vote for Al Franken is an idiot. And I was just going to remark on how us VSers are more tolerant of differing opinions than TBrickers. 86 that!
