I don't read Krugman. What part of his dipshittery are you referring to?

Respawn in 3...2...1...

I'm certain he didn't mean to, but I think he just did. Christianity is a religion of peace. If you are a doctor who legally performs abortions, we will bomb your clinic and/or kill you.

Where's that "!@#$ you" smiley when you need it?

Yeah, from '06 or so, closer to when Bernanke was appointed. I don't doubt it.

Columbia Business School's Dean Glenn Hubbard is upset about not getting Alan Greenspan's job that went instead to New Fed Chair Ben Bernanke.

I've actually taken to calling it "the War of Southern Secession."

I've never been able to wrap my mind around the idea, "hey, we're getting married, let's throw a party for all of our friends!" Isn't your marriage supposed to be about you and your spouse? There's a framed bar tab in one of the bars in town here. The total for that one was around $1,400.

First of all, their debut album was released in 1976. Second of all, Boston had some great songs, !@#$!

I actually know quite a few Obama-voting liberals who think that an abortion is a disgusting medical procedure and want to minimize the amount of them. They just don't think it should be banned.

I don't think you've done the research necessary to call this a "theory," nor do I think you know at all what you're talking about. Regardless, I think MDs who write scripts for antidepressants without having the patient go through some sort of talk therapy (like cognitive behavioral therapy) are absolute quacks.

Not only is suicide not new, but I would say that suicides aren't publicized that much at all. I rarely see them in the news. A girl in my class in high school killed herself in a rather public way, and local news never covered it except for her obit in the local newspaper. It's when they take people with them that you hear about it on national news. Suicides aren't news, murders are.

I imagine that this would largely be based on a doctor's opinion. The article mentioned that it would fine people who are obese and don't follow a "doctor-supervised slimming regimen." I doubt that athletes would ever be put on such a slimming regimen.

Since these are Medicaid recipients we're talking about here,

You didn't tell me I was supposed to be coming over

Cue Apple fanboy vs. Android fanboy fight.

Levi seems to think so.

You remind me of LeviF91 in real life. You're referring to yourself in the 3rd person.

You see, then, where there is a lot of room to squirm around and spend money on stupid things while still parading about and declaring that you're "fiscally responsible"? I realize this but, as has been stated in this thread, it's the people and the folks that represent those people that make up the movement. Many (not all) of the local "tea party" politicians and the more nationally recognized ones cling to this "family values" crap. Even Rand Paul is "100% pro life," and wants the government to define "human life" for us.

I have a problem with it. What the !@#$ does "fiscal responsibility mean"? Is it "fiscally responsible" to slash away at domestic programs (whatever, fine by me) while continuing to increase military spending and continuing to treat aid to Israel as a 3rd rail (not fine by me)? What constitutes "excessive taxation"? What about "excessive spending"? Seems like there's a lot of room for "tea party" politicians to claim to adhere to this mission statement while not being fiscally responsible at all. I'm sure everyone on this board is against "excessive taxation" and "excessive spending," the question lies in how we define such things. The mission statement goes on to talk about how they want "Constitutionally limited government" but there are vastly different interpretations of the Constitution even among those who are the very depositories of the laws: courts and judges. Frankly, the last things I want are more lawmakers who polish their **** with terms like "fiscally responsible" when, in reality, they're spending more and more money on a military that intervenes virtually everywhere and a tiny country that can spend its own money on their military. Jeez, and I haven't even mentioned the "family values" bull **** that so many "tea party" politicians cling to. Sure, the market can be free, but your bodies and bedrooms can't! !@#$ that. Tom's not the only one who's ornery today.

I thought that always went without saying.

Awesome. Nothing brings out morons on both sides of the aisle like a good Jesus thread. Criminy. Jesus a "crutch?" Really? And what the hell does this have to do with Haiti, Japan, and Chile? Oh, and I can't forget the obligatory post that only has Bible verses in it. That was "Hay-Soose," silly.

Could they? Why don't they care less, then?

That's great.

A link to Stormfront, a brilliant capstone to a solid week of trolling, from "GelMibson." Awesome
