  1. Obviously neither side actually wants that. The Dems/WH want the taxes but not on everybody...they hate the tax that hits the "middle class." The Repubs want the spending cuts but likewise hate the defense cuts. Both sides hate the overall effect on the economy. And while people can debate the political cost of going over the cliff and for who it is worse...it's a net loss for both. The bottom line though is the longer Boehner negotiates the more ground he loses on the tax increases...could have had it at 800B last time, now can get it around 1.2T...and in a few months he'll be wishing he got it at 1.2 b/c it will go higher. At some point he's going to have to build a little pack of Repubs who will deal and just bargain with the Dems in the house with that group to get the best deal they can....Plan B suggests there's no other way b/c he isn't going to bring a majority of house GOP to a position where they would accept anything negotiated.
  2. Interesting little graph:
  3. As long as Tasker thinks there is a chance for a faction of Repubs who refuse to engage in negotiated compromise when they hold the minority of a divided government...they can't disappoint him...or else...something... In all seriousness though....get the tax cuts extended as high as you can above 250 and get as much cuts as you can and move on man...seriously do that and fight another day then purge those who threaten to primary you further from the right by saying "yes...some of us have to govern and there is such thing as Democrats who win more than us ya jackasses ... it's b/c of you they do..so go find a mountain top and scream your lungs out while we actually do the real world work necessary to run the country and hopefully w/ out your interference steer it more in our direction next election...b/c ya know...elections happen...and that's what gives you power"
  4. Pretty sure these suits against law schools for misrepresenting employment statistics are without merit. Unless you can prove actual fraud, which is unlikely, what's the complaint? Helpless 30 year old Elizabeth Hallock enrolled in law school, read a San Francisco Law School pamphlet and thought she would be rich? Everybody knows if you go to law school right now and it isn't tier 1, you had better finish at least top 3rd of class and come out with some decent experience on the resume hopefully somewhere that can hire...it's no secret. That said, some law schools are churning out too many. And for profit places that don't have a good rep or network and can cost over 10gs a semester and let in hundreds each semester...well...that's life...if you go there then you had better do really well or have something set up when you come out. But I would hardly turn around and sue saying they led me to believe I was somehow going to be placed in a job.
  5. classless slander video giving eagles a bad name
  6. Williams will be the guy if the backfield is all his. If not...or if uncertain right up until game time I would go with Smith. The recent production is there, Cam is playing good, and Oakland is terrible. Jones will most certainly put up 2 tds and 80 yards if he's on your bench, but if you start him he'll give you 30 yards and other guys will snag the TDs. Go with Smith...he's guaranteed a lot of targets against a week D and plays on an offense that is doing well right now.
  7. Ya, hate to admit the change was necessary but ... well...we all watch the games. I actually like Joe. But to each his own. Props at least to him for holding down a show since he's not a liberal and too moderate for the growing conservative movement.

  9. Well the real reason it's significant is it sort of makes you wonder who there even is to negotiate with on the GOP side as far as a leader ...
  10. Plug the Paleo Diet and ship him some steaks...get some of that grain money for yourself.
  11. It is what it is. http://www.washingto...d278_story.html
  12. Chan has revealed bad coaching besides just QB related stuff. And in any event, Chan gave us Fitz. So even if it is all about the QB, he is the one who backed Fitz like this.
  13. Ya thanks for the advice. Cam was going to start anyway obviously but I HATE that Richardson hasn't put up big yards lately and is entirely dependent on finding the endzone and now pulls Denver. But as is...until further updates on Bradshaw I'm probably going with him and Ballard. Part of me feels like Woodhead might get the carries after both other guys fumbled last game...and if he does he could blow up but it's a huge win/bust dynamic there. WRs is the worst...if I lose I'm pretty sure that is where it will happen at. No idea really what I'm going to do. Appreciate the help and more opinions welcome.
  14. btw go into my topic also guys...need some advice even though I obviously have some idea of what I may do
  15. He's been beasting lately and has a great matchup. I don't know about Doug Martin but I would consider getting him some action maybe over Richardson. Richardson finds the endzone but if he doesn't he would have been busting (fantasy wise) long ago...Denver has a pretty good D....etc...
  16. I would have to get DeAngelo in there somehow maybe over Doug Martin. Also would consider Reggie Wayne against that terrible KC over VJ. Not easy decisions though.

  19. tar-var-is...tarvaris
  20. People are talking about Geno maybe falling out of the first...not that there is any chance it happens...but there really are no QBs anybody would want w/ the top 5 picks this year absent desperation...of course there is desperation every year.
  21. While I'm HUGE on the new QB bandwagon if we get a shot at T'eo I think we would have to take it and get a QB after that. Not sure Geno is a savior at QB but pretty sure that T'eo could take the D to the next level.
  22. Ah yes, Breitbart article takes issues with some black guy on a religious radio station being a raging black guy about who is really black on a religious radio station...didn't realize this was the serious zone. pewpew
  23. hmm...not sure I would call it good
  24. All the quality I expect from your topic 3rd. I tip my hat. Nice topic of discussion.
