  1. Lets not forget that the real story is Woodward's original acct. which is that the W.H came up with the idea of the sequester, despite the president lying to us twice, the first time saying that it was congressional republicans idea and then before the elections telling the American public repeatedly that the sequester would never happen, when responding to Romney's attacks that it would.
  2. That's what the W.H does, successfully I might add. They mobilize their base, which it all began with Plouffe and co. when they sent out tweets attacking Woodward, and now all the drones follow suit.
  3. From Andrew Sullivan Talk about eating their own
  4. It doesn't surprise me one bit. Most administrations try to control the coverage as much as they possibly can, but this one takes it to a whole new level. They have an incessant desire to control the narrative, that has been on display for quite some time. Even Plouffe bragged about this aspect of the first Obama campaign, regarding controlling the narrative. These guys are political animals, and they are great at it. They can politick with the best of them, but when it comes to governing, these guys are about as incompetent as they come. It is amateur hour up there at the W.H Also, I see that many liberals are doing everything they can to savage Woodward's reputation. Check it http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/media-others-tweet-on-bob-woodward-88234.html?hp=r2
  5. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/11/3-4-or-4-3-for-bills-under-pettine-yes/
  6. ADDS over $7 Billion to the Deficit. http://www.cbo.gov/publication/43960 So what was suppose to reduce the national debt, actually increases it. These are the clowns who run our country.
  7. On the flip side, to expand on this post, out of the teams that were able to draft a player that remained on their teams, 67% of those teams are consistent playoff teams.
  8. Does anyone know if Kelsay's retirement changes the cap figure differently than if he would have been released? Also, are we able to place the transition tag on levitre? And from my perspective, releasing Brad Smith and restructuring fitz's contract would complete the necessary off season cuts and freeing up of cap space for this coming season.
  9. I believe he will be able to fit in both schemes. He runs the 40 in the low 4.6's, which is faster than most linebackers in the league. Also, did you happen to catch the senior bowl? Denard Robinson ran a play out wide and Ansah ran him down for an open field tackle. It was quite impressive.
  10. I hope all turns out well for you 3rdlng
  11. Can we put the transition tag on Levitre?
  12. They are gonna talk to him about moving over to safety. He was projected by some to be a top tier candidate for this position coming out of college, it just so happens we played him at CB.
  13. What are you? A moron or such a lefty that you actually believe what you just typed? Here is some work for ya Google. Monsanto and evil. Or pick any derogative term to associate it with and tell me what you come up with. Here is what I got: Firedog lake, Mother Earth news, Youcouldsavetheworld, Infowars, Nature news, And huffington post And that was just on the first page. Yes all bastions of conservative ideologies. And the only one that could remotely be considered conservative is infowars and they are so bat schitt looney they have come full circle. Are there some libertarian minded people who are in disagreement with monsantos policies? Sure But is there the level of outrage from the right as there is from the left regarding Monsanto? Not even close. Anecdotally speaking I have lots of earth loving hippy friends that I go to burning man with along with other kumbaya style festivals, and on my FB all the hatred that is for Monsanto is from the left and not a peep from my conservative friends. So take your head out of your ass and think for a second before you post. This is an issue that largely resonates with the left.
  14. We have "talent" at WR relative to the rest of the NFL?
  15. The pass rushers. My guess is that Ansah will impress and continue to climb up the draft charts.
  16. Read more: http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-insurance/284387-employer-based-health-coverage-hits-new-low#ixzz2LfZEcfMb
  17. I'm too mentally exhausted to get into this subject again. So I'll defer this to a later date. Maybe
  18. That is not punitive.....Do you understand what that word means? Inflicting or intended as punishment. (of a tax or other charge) Extremely high. Well, the purpose of raising the wage isn't meant to inflict damage, it is to increase the living wage relative to profit growth and inflation. So that leaves #2, is it "extremely high" ? ya, I'm gonna go with no. As profits and inflation rises, so do wages. So again, your position is illogical. Also, I guess you haven't been paying attention to what has been being said in this thread. What I said earlier was and and I understand, you are a purist, which to be honest with you, there is a part of me that respects that and another part that tells me that purists are rigid and intolerant by nature. So the idea of keeping a static minimum wage is completely and utterly absurd which belies any sort of logical thinking that from my view could only be shared with the opinion of either an extreme ideologue or a complete dumb ass. I'm guessing you aren't a dumb ass.
  19. Well, let's just hope that policy makers don't make "offhand" decisions. Actually, now that I think about it, that may represent an improvement of how decisions have been made.
  20. That's fine, but that's a whole 'nother subject. I believe when you responded to my post, I was discussing the politics of the situation. As you know, politics matter, without a doubt, Obama is a master politician, and they have perfected the art of demagoguery, but when it comes to governing, Obama hasn't the slightest clue in how to help produce good results for the economy. So the question is if you are the opposing party, and you are taking political hits from the president, politically speaking, what do you do?
  21. That is not punishing business. As profit grows and inflation rises, so do wages. That's simply logical.
  22. Sorry but the cost of living isn't static, and if we were to to be able to accurately gauge profit growth as a whole, it certainly would be much greater than the increases brought on by inflation.
