Didn't you hear? AJ has been outed as Michael Moore. Just kiddin' around, AJ

Then why the hell are you inviting Beerball?

Are you on a bender again, Booster?

Some of those aren't even crazy. Or stupid. Some of them shouldn't be reaction-getting at all.

:lol: :lol:

Who said anything about higher or lower taxes? You said, "nothing." Not all conservatives think that the middle class pays nothing in taxes. In fact, I'd say that most of them probably don't. Implying that all conservatives do think this way and following it up by railing against that statement is, indeed, setting up a straw man. There's room for a legitimate argument to be made here. Don't waste your time on silly things like "according to conservatives, they pay nothing." So an obscure political forum, that approximately 20 people frequent (that's generous), on a board dedicated largely to discussion of the Buffalo Bills is representative of all conservatives? Interesting. Because that's ignorance, not a fallacy. I don't care nearly enough to illuminate ignorance in someone's life. That's why I think DC Tom is such a nice guy. He cares so much.

I certainly am. Blanket statements often create straw men, whether you like it or not. It sure is easy to rail against unfair taxes while the "other side" is saying that the middle class pay nothing in taxes when it just isn't so.

We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion

Oldest profession there is.

I prefer settee, myself.

So this is for laughs? Oh. I thought it was just supposed to be sad. Anyway, I tend to think that anybody that wants to get into politics nowadays is just downright stupid and/or insane.

Samuel Alito isn't a Congressman. And most Senators and Congressmen were/are lawyers.

That's the thing: no matter who asks her, she doesn't need to recuse herself. We've seen SC justices hear cases that they should have recused themselves from before.

Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either. On the right, you have Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito. On the left, you have Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan. And then there's Kennedy who, I think, would vote with Roberts et al. on this issue. Hell, you might even get one of the justices on the left to vote with Roberts and company.

No, and I never said they did.

No. The only evidence available is his (limited) interaction with that Canadian doctor, I think. I just thought you were looking for a reason why PEDs might be a partial explanation for his sudden downward spiral.

Suddenly stopping the regular use of any drug can wreak havoc on your body and mind.

From what I've heard about his time with the U.S. Attorney's office, Samuel Alito was a pretty damn good lawyer before becoming a judge.

Let's face it, we haven't had a president that wasn't some form of statist in 50+ years.

As much as I loathe it, I'm quickly coming around to this theory.

I can't help but be a bit sad when I see Tiger playing now. This is the guy we're talking about here, the guy that really got golf on the map in this age, and the guy who made golf exciting for so many people, to the point where thousands picked up a club for the first time because of him (myself included). He was the best golfer in the world four years ago, arguably the best to ever play the game, and now he's struggling to make the cut at this championship way before his time.
