On the Boondocks, they wondered what it would be like if, instead of dying from his wounds, MLK Jr was instead in a coma and he comes out of it in 2005. When he sees what the current civil rights movement has done to black culture, he tells everyone to piss off and moves to Canada...

And yet the economy depends on that middle class consuming more than it can afford. What happens when they stop? Gotta love tunnel vision. Do they have laser surgery to correct that yet?

The economic health of a nation rests in the middle class, not in how many gazillionaires there are. Why have CEO compensation levels gone through the roof but workers/middle class wages stayed roughly the same or in some cases declined? We are drifting into dangerous waters I fear...

stronger than reason stronger than lies the only truth i know is the look in your eyes

What are these 'cassettes' of which you speak?

Guess it's time you had another kid... Get ready...to wiggle We've been ready for so long...

The interest only mortgages and other creative ways to get people to buy houses they couldn't really afford hyper-inflated the housing market much, much more than it would have gone up ordinarily. Those plans might work for those who want to flip houses in a hot market, but for people who just wanted the normal mortgages it stands to reason that they are feeling screwed that they can no longer afford a decent house.

Awesome news indeed. I'm glad they worked hard to get it right, but all this talk of how 'if it doesn't work this time it'll set our space program back decades' was pissing me off. I'm with Stephen Hawking, exploring space is likely mans only hope to warding off our extinction.

If they spend the whole movie shooting at each other and no one ever dies, I ain't going!

Then how does everyone on this site know about it? I just saw the preview. I think I just wet myself. (admitted Transformer geek)

Says the dork that loves to talk about playing video games...

Yeah, because the states and local school boards were doing a horrible job before the feds stepped in to make everything better...

Now many of you probably saw that headline and thought it was referring to general pension funds for the average worker. I did. Not so fast my friend... As Workers' Pensions Wither, Those for Executives Flourish

I don't want to grow up I'm a toys r us kid I don't think this is really news to anyone anymore. Our culture as a whole seems to grow more frivolous and silly with each passing day. I'm not immune to this, some days it hard to realize I'm not in my 20's anymore. But is growing older and hopefully wiser, and accepting it, really that terrible? I don't buy the idea that staying immature is beneficial in an increasingly unstable world, rather it seems it's the immaturity that is causing the instability. Strange days indeed...

Maybe he wanted a Heid's hotdog?

Says the guy who once said he looked forward to the end of the world and would be drinking PBR's while he watched.

Happy birthday my friend. May you have many more.

A chinectomy?

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Loved the books. The movie sucked balls.

What is the meaning of life?

Congressman Apologizes For Helen Thomas Virgin Remark I mean I can understand when a politician needs to apologize for getting caught telling a lie, but why should he have to for telling the truth?

Some looney Republicans. The abstinence-only education that some Republicans promote is only a reaction to the 'if it feels good do it' education that some looney Democrats push on kids at younger and younger ages. Personally I think they should stick to teaching about the plumbing and how it all works. Throw in some knowledge about the disease and that if you can't be abstinent then condoms are your friend. That's about it. If some kids are too fuggin dumb to figure that out, well, isn't that what Darwin's Law is all about?

Says who, besides some looney Catholics? Birth control is only bad when it doesn't work.
