  1. I like it when you give yourself credit for observing that the sky is blue. It's like applauding at the Special Olympics. Please: Enlighten me.
  2. Nice logic fluff.
  3. Sure, but he doesn't post here dumbass.
  4. Always digging up the very best content.
  5. With Hansen's addition, why not. Open it up to anyone at this point. At least it dilutes the embarrassment of OJ still being up there.
  6. And yet agreeing that this is what we see and know to be true, and Tom's alphabet soup of failures...the Republicans refuse to cut significantly from the DoD, and the Dems refuse to cut from the Medis or SS, which have to be full of similar stories. I feel like Executive and Legislative branches are the Justice League of Stupidity at the moment. The American people want to start putting the financial house in order and neither side can make the first move to do it.
  7. The article says that a "more diverse population" now takes the SATs and the scores went down. When only the brightest took the SATs, because most kids had possible careers where college was not required, SATs were higher. Now tons of kids are trying to go to school--tons of kids means dumber kids are taking the SATs. Scores go down. Not really surprising. Someone's filling classrooms at Temple and Buff State.
  8. The DoD I worked with said "We have a budget of 600K for this meeting but oh crap, it's only going to cost 400K. Quick, let's think of ways to spend another 200K so we don't get less in our budget next year. $16 muffins? Good call! $200,000 divided by $16 means we order...umm...ummm...oh hell, just order 30,000 muffins and we'll get a change order so we can get an even higher budget for this meeting next year. "
  9. Every one of my Bucknell friends was desperate to get a job there. Most fit right in perfectly. It's slightly more functional than a big law firm.
  10. Issues like this are so funny. People will get completely insane over $16 muffins and not go ballistic over some DoD project where we invested 5 billion and now it sits in a shed. (This is where Tom geeks in with 17 examples, and discusses the relative merits and failures of each one.) Point being, there is so much waste in government that the 16 dollar muffin doesn't even make me blink. My initial reaction was "So what, that's kind of pricey but not bad for government procurement."
  11. Oh god. Why would you open the door for him to talk about himself?
  12. That is terrible advice for soft tissue injuries in the groin and hamstring. If the doctor says rest it, you rest it. You can't play through pulls in the legs and be effective. Just can't. And it's easy to create a chronic problem by not resting.
  13. Groin injuries don't go away. Don't expect much of a season from him. Sounds pessimistic but it's true. Unless he takes about 4 weeks off right now, this will linger.
  14. What Slaughter are you talking about? The 85% incumbent reelection lovefest of 2010? Way to add to the stupid, stupid. That's not a moral argument, but the practical one, and why I pay 40+%.. So what gives you the moral authority to keep taking?
  15. And what will solve the problem of a shrinking middle class, assuming it's not a self induced problem?
  16. Let's say I make 500K/year. Or 1M/year. Or whatever is the trigger for the increase. What gives you the right to take more of it?
  17. And what gives you the right to take even more of my money?
  18. Assuming those stats are true, so?What is to be done Dave?
  19. Brady has won 29 straight games at Foxboro. I'm all for ending that streak but I'm not optimistic.
  20. Yup. Perfect reception, no stuttering. HD quality. Absolutely outstanding. Cannot complain. You must use a wired connection for best speed.
  21. On the TD drive before in the 4th, Whitner gave up the catch to Witten on 4th and 5. Nice game buddy. I'm sure your Twitter will be full of excuses.
  22. Buy 4,464 shares GSS at 2.24. (gold miner)
  23. I'm just enjoying B word-slapping you. Calm down puppy.
  24. Careful. 3rdnlong declares himself the "winner" when you don't answer his idiotic questions. By all means, answer his so-important question, "So, you think she's closer to John Kerry in intellect than George W. Bush?"
