try consolidating your thoughts... No one really wanted 15 new threads by the same person. [directed at SKOOBY who apparently starts a new thread every time he makes a neural connection.]

Dictating and playing traffic cop are different things. Do you know what happens when there are 15 threads that say "Fire Jauron"? Some jackass makes a 16th. When there is one with a lot responses - reasonable people thhink "oh, here is where I go to complain about Jauron". Now, are you done complaining about the people who spend their time to putting up with people like you?

About 50 threads saying the same things have been merged into common topics. A couple of others were closed because I'm tired of merging and quite frankly, everyone should try and be a little more courteous to their fellow posters. Oh, and you stay classy.

The problem is deciding which ones to keep.

So, then we just cut executive pay and move on. Right?

I wished our teams sucked as bad his his teams over the past 13 years...

Last 2 minutes of each half the ref upstairs reviews the calls on the field.

Whenever I read your posts...

Correct response: "I'd drop you like a sack of dirt." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Seinfeld#The_...Kicks_.5B8.4.5D

"You want a piece of me????"

ooh! ooh! Mr. Kotter! I have!

To be fair - I brought it up again because I didn't appreciate the nuance of the NYT article.

I think it is safe to say that the book of federal programs that cost significantly more than the pitch price is a fuggin' thick one.

Yeah, that is a much cleaner quote. Thanks.

Gotcha. The article was a bit misleading in order to score style points. Although, I don't know how you can say an anonymous person is "100% supported the actual McCain aide who said it first", when other named sources have refuted the claim.

That phrase has been a red herring for years. Morality is legislated every single day. Any time a law or policy is passed because someone claims it is the "right" thing to do - it is based upon someone's morals. It doesn't matter if it is abortion or the minimum wage.

I don't know if it is accurate, but if it is... ouch. Perhaps the UAW can get together with steel workers and share war stories of sticking it to "the man"...

To those who say we have to "control costs" - I say line them up and have them sign a contract that they will not accept any form of care that has been improved from this day forward. "Controlling costs" is tantamount to saying "stop progress". We do some amazing freakin' things in this country with regards to health care and furthering our knowledge of our bodies. That costs money. I'm sure the medicine of the 1950's would be pretty cheap today. Some penicillin, a cold wet rag when you had a fever, the occasional lobotomy... But we want the best. We want it to be perfect (or we'll sue) and it better not interfere with my cell phone contract or Directv.

I think this is a HELL of a lot more credible than "anonymous sources" from the losing campaign.

GM builds cars (crappy ones) for the sole reason of paying inflated salaries and lifetime benefits to its retirees. It can no longer do that. The UAW will make sure that the auto workers and the steel workers meet the same fate.
