yeah I'm not sure that the threat level was good for anything other than when the news stations would have it at the bottom of the t.v. which was kind of funny to watch. But props to W. for borrowing from the liberals playbook, I think it was the Obama admin that said "you never want to waste a good crisis" so he saw opportunity in a crisis...

j i knew you'd chime in sooner or later , all politics aside, I'm not really sure how you could put positive spin on printing more money? please explain?

oh man so sorry to hear this, in thoughts and prayers of course. Such a shame people would put others in harms way if they were discontent with their life. keep us updated!

this is the most updated chart I could find, its through June 18th of 09. Look at how much money we have in circulation now compared to prior to the market really taking a dive in september. I'm sure its more complicated than just printing money but you can't help but think this devalues the dollar and its no wonder why russia, china and brazil are looking for the IMF to carry different currency's than the dollar.

um you're wrong, we can just print more money if we need it

aflac!

does it come with the little people to work on it while you ride?

^^^ maybe thats why they're ending the program early and its not a money issue

congrats, now get a gun so you can shoot somebody and get on the scoreboard!

the only thing we have in common with other planets that would cause that is... the same sun. Solar flares cause global warming FTW http://www.aip.org/pnu/2003/split/642-2.html

reminds me of this... and these people died of global warming

i thought hookers would have a stronger showing in this poll

guys I gotta rep for my team with all this bengals/steelers crap... And I now welcome you to being miami dolphins fans, like me Until last year it had been a few rough years, but things like this get me through it.

I had the luxury of taking several environmental classes when I was in college, things like air quality mgmt, limnology, hazardous waste removal, ecology, etc etc... Filtering through my profs liberal agendas, and many of them had it, (the one prof who taught hazardous removal tho was hilariously conservative) I have come to believe that we can and do impact the environment. To say its "global warming" is a stretch at the least, but to say that our production of natural elements (in increased concentrations) or unnatural elements in large quantities hasn't effected our environment or weather patterns... would also be a stretch as well. At the end of the day I think we could all be a little greener, but I don't think its the governments job to mandate it, create crazy cap and trade to cost jobs and our economy millions and I don't think we should join ELF and burn a hummer dealership either. And one thing people don't realize, is that the air quality and water quality now, is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than what it was in the 1970's without cap and trade or some other "green" initiatives.

bengals 7-6

eh... I can't believe he's adding this to his repertoire. I went to SI.com the other day and saw him listed on the roster as "ochocinco" this year... nice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AldNVxN67Y

lol that porcelain is sharp as a razor! I sliced open my shins doing some demo work on some glaze block (similar to the porcelain in a toilet) I bet it cut the shit out of his arm! I'd like to see some pics of that

the funny thing is, i would pay 3999 for a 05 zx10r even if it had a salvage title and looked as good as that one did.

* I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? this is my pet peeve #5, don't ask me 1-4, just take notice this is in the top ten! * I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. I hate leaving my house and realizing everyone else in the neighborhood has already left work for their "real jobs" but I don't mind when I get back from work and they're still not home * When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking. that is awesome! Luckily this hasn't happened to me because I'm married, but it is always awkward if you bring up a situation that happened to you years ago with a different girlfriend... like "remember the time we went to see meet joe black and you actually laughed in the theater... oh wait that wasn't you..." * I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes. iTunes shuffle/dj whatever it is, is terrible, I'll have it shuffle through the same artist like 4 songs in a row. I'm like if youre playing half an album for me, its not really shuffling. * Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles... I think it should be 40 and any retards that get hit by cars, is natural selections way of knocking off the kids that weren't going to make it through 3rd grade the first time through anyways. * As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. I think cyclists who drive in the road like they're a motor vehicle should be shot on the spot, especially the ones who drive like a car but then run red lights and stop signs, you can't have it BOTH WAYS!!! * Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. sometimes my wife tells me things 3 times in a row and I still don't hear her. * It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood. You know this was actually founded to prevent minorities, mostly blacks, from procreating, hilarious! This isn't some conspiracy theory, you can really look it up * I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. I do this with my brother, it actually says "do not answer randy" * I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college. I use to think I was sterile, because I'd had a few dumb unprotected instances and nothing ever came of it, then I finally got my wife pregnant and the baby looks like me... so I think my men work? If you ever become a dad you'll have to read the greatest book of our time "my boys can swim" its almost like you wrote it. * Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it. Even if I had life lock, I still wouldn't put my social security number on a billboard. * Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time... When my alarm goes off, I know its time to get up and I just roll with it. My wife tho', will hit her snooze button 8 times and actually set her alarm earlier than when she needs to get up, just because she knows she is going to snooze button it up 8 times. Sorry this is turning into a marriage counseling/therapy session for me. * My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that? umm probably the same thing that would happen if you ran over a powerwheels * It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text. I can't believe you go to CNN.com, no I hate that too, and I think every story they have a video for, they should have a text based version too... Have you ever noticed local news is pointless besides weather, I mean unless you want to know if something burned down or someone in the bad side of town got shot * I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. Funny you say this, I heard a cop call into a talk radio show the other day and he mentioned he is either the asshole holding up traffic doing the speed limit or the asshole doing 9 over that everyone bitches about for being a hypocrite * I think the freezer deserves a light as well. Stuff like this amazes me, I mean its like the "tagless tshirt" what an amazing invention, we've had them for YEARS upon years and yet it took us how long to make that improvement... * I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay. I'm not so worried about what the kiss begins with, but what does it end with, I think if we knew that, we could really focus our efforts on the right people * The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner. Do you ever notice even if you order the takeout at the restaurant instead of calling it in, fly home as fast as humanly possible, it still doesn't taste as good as if you ordered it and it sat underneath a warming light for ten minutes before they served it to you. And japanese food no matter how long or short its in your car, will make it smell for weeks. sorry for the TRIPLE POST, but it wouldnt let me post that many characters at once and thanks for the EPIC friday thread, much REP to you sir!

what if they also told you all their skeletons in the closet, or if they had obituaries celebrating peoples deaths not mourning them, like Bobby ray died today, and we couldn't be happier, he was a child molster, an asshole... etc etc * I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water. I have to let it run for a good 5 minutes before I even think about getting in there, i tried to take a cold shower this winter when it was like 0 degrees outside and our hotwater heater was broken, i was so cold I thought... this is how I go... i'm going to die of hypothermia in a self induced shower. Then I thought if i was homeless and had to take cold showers, I'd probably just be a sweaty bum like the rest of them. * Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. i have like a 3 wearings rule, depending on if I went into a bathroom where someone had pee'd on the floor and blatantly missed the urinal. I'm going to invent the urinal with a soft back at a decent angle to prevent splashback... * I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. I can, and it involved a 12 hour bender of redbull, 5 hour energy and starbucks, the crash was amazing tho'. * Bad decisions make good stories I like to think other people's bad decisions make great stories! * Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do! And this is why I don't social network, I'm off the radar so big brother or the next company I interview with can't find me pounding a redbull and vodka or doing a keg stand. I know you can make them "private" but shit gets out, just ask the lady who saw her baby's pics from facebook end up on craigslist for an adoption ad. * Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year? Is it just me or do I try to justify in my head, why if I was single and I slept with a highschool girl, she totally comes off as a consenting adult and 100 years ago, she would've been married by now. * If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible. why were we looking for waldo? They should have a book for kids called "find the amber alert" or something more instructional. And what about the dorks who always got on the game show where in the world is carmen san diego, their geographical knowledge was superb! * Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem.... I hate that billion dollar companies still think these are effective introductions, lets go to the bar for a mixer before hand and everyone will get to know eachother way better. * You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day. that usually comes every day, before noon for me * Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection. I started to collect dvd's years ago and then I said... wait a minute this adds up and i'll never watch some of these movies again... Needless to say I traded "milo and otis the directors cut" in and haven't bought a dvd since. * There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. leaning your stool back because its a good foot or two higher off the ground, sincerely, "1 upper" * I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. I hate autoformating, I wanna find this autoformat guy and autoformat his face! * "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever. That means you should wash this in the ganges right next to where it was made. * I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?' Almost like the movie thing, its like if I put "The Soup" on, I know joel mchale is going to bring his A game every show, I mean how can they not laugh at this, their the one's who have something wrong with them, not me...

I'm surprised you don't support the "huntington disease parity act" or HR 678. It seems this would solve your problem without providing universal healthcare to everyone, and probably give you better treatment and access to treatment.

I'm gonna have to refer you to the ten other threads regarding concerns over universal healthcare located on the "politics" section as well.
