Thanks Doc, I thought this was an amusing way to point out that a trillion dollars is much more than just a big number ... I thought perspective would help ... oh well

Cock fight in California results in the death of a Californian resident, one Jose Luis Ochoa. Apparently after a confrontation, the ‘war-bird’ stabbed him in the leg and he went … Tango Uniform. Seems PETA is more interested in high publicity scams than actual animal concerns. Let’s see, Vick went to prison (Leavenworth) for what, a year and a half or so. Did you know that Cock Fighting in California is just a misdemeanor? It is a felony to organize events but is one

As I see it, what is transpiring in Egypt is a direct result of American Imperialism as we have a nasty history of backing dictators around the world … and the results will be the same here. We have proven resilient in our ability to recover from all the pratfalls the Government repeatedly sends our way, but with an out of control populous that seems hell bent on proving just how stupid cattle can be, I am not sure how much l

Agreed Dr. Guy. That is why I think a mandatory start would be to block any attempt to raise the debt ceiling. What sense does it make to bluster about cuts ... force it ... isn't that what Boehner has said from the beginning? If they even get wind of more money, it will be spent ...

GOP … Business as usual in Politics JoeUser Forums

One of many ‘I told you so’ moments from John Boehner Speaker of the House; start a list now. Seems they are having difficulty trying to cut something substantial from the budget as all they could come up with was $74 billion (< 5.3% of the budget) hardly a start. Oh that’s right, we are talking Obama dollars here considering that the actual dollars CUT would be ~33 billion (< 2.4% of the budget) so … not as auspicious as advertised. I am afraid that Boehne

Reply to The Debt Ceiling in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

The only feasible thing we as peons can do is cut off the money and let these despots choke on their own ineptitude. We have the power to do this … but I do not have much confidence in the Republican Party, most especially Speaker of the House John Boehner who talks a good talk but has been complicit in the debauchery we call our Government for many years

The Debt Ceiling in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

If there is any truth (doubtfully) about this cost cutting brouhaha bandwagon everyone is supposed to be on, then a very simple start would be NOT to increase the Debt Ceiling and actually force these megalomaniacs to cut SOMETHING! If we authorize more money, it will be spent and we will be fed more hogwash about the dire necessity to prevent us (them) from bankruptcy or other such gobbledygook;

Local Talk Radio this morning (WOKV 106.5 FM) had a great story about another starving and misunderstood burglar practicing Obama’s State policy of spreading the wealth around.

I have been this route with DG and I do not think I will make any more headway with you than I did with him … but I am inclined to try anyway. I can symphonize with your feelings over not voting in the primaries as I experience misgivings there too, BUT for the fact that we are stuck with whomsoever wins the primary. I am convinced that many independents and other non-committed voters feel this indifference and the results are not usually good. You might ask your

Nitro, you pretty much said it for me (reply #17). Put up or shut up, but don't ask me to return to the Stone Age because you have some fantasy of bliss without fossil fuel.

I believe this all started with the legalities PREVENTING creationism from being taught to our children IN PUBLIC SCHOOL and that repeated attempts to change that were acts of insanity.

Reading the future is no different in religious circles than any other circle … it is impossible. When you predict the ‘end’ of the world, you are only stating the obvious outcome based on nature and the laws of physics. Now you may if you want to somehow make this into a profound religious prediction, be my guess but it changes nothing. Even a rock (albeit a large one called Earth) has a finite existence and will be reclaimed by the cosmos for a redistribution of the wealt

I believe the pre-election hype was for clean coal and other green venues and a reduction in our dependence on foreign oil. It was the hell with coal, oil and the Nukes and that dependency thing has somehow been bastardized to mean only no More US oil or coal production.

Reply to Bankruptcy for California in Politics JoeUser Forums

California is already bankrupt, they are just waiting for the bailout-heisters to restock the coffers with billions of $$$ that we already don’t have. Are the financially suicide prone states like California and New York going tits up just because of the ridiculous union and government contracts? I think not. I do not even think this is a major part of the equation. Their problem is twofold. First, the funding that was to be invested to ensure the future security for the union c
