So I was reading in the Urban Dictionary regarding the origin of "Smear the Queer" !@#$ing priceless

I don't think you read it to thoroughly. If you had, then you would see that it was advocating much of what you said the other day, which is if people have to spend a little more out of pocket themselves, that it could drive down costs. The assumption, which makes a lot of sense to me is that if the government subsidizes cost, that it could potentially bring down the cost for the end user, but that the rate of growth in health care costs would continue to rise because of there being little pressure on prices to bring them down. If you shift some of the costs to the end user, where funds are more limited, it would provide more competition for those fewer dollars bringing down costs. You basically made the same point the other day, when you said that you believed that higher deductible plans could lead to lower overall costs. I would re read it again.

Even though I do have many disagreements with TYTT, this is an old adage that has a lot of truth to it.

A fantastic in depth study perfromed by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research on Obamacare. http://www.manhattan...tm#.UVW1IDeMBpk Key Findings: Something that the Ryan plan looks to address.

Based on the evidence that is out there, it appears that GZ will be exonerated. Even most legal experts believe this to be eventual outcome.

That's true, but I highly doubt, Zimmerman the wuss actually initiated a physical confrontation. I just have a hard time believing that.

Only in loony leftist douchebag world do people believe that extremely hard working, intelligent, innovative people are lucky for what they have.

GZ made a dubious and fateful decision when he ignored the request of the 911 operator, and by the looks of it he is a a bit of a wuss. Having said that, neither of these two are a crime, he is well within his rights to defend himself and having someone physically attack you does allow him the rightful use of a firearm. It's just unfortunate that the kid also made a bad choice in losing his temper and attacking him for following him. The more appropriate course of action would have been for him to simply walk away. You just don't begin to physically pummel someone because they are looking at you funny or for following you. That's just not how you handle things, and if you disagree with that, fine, but you put yourself in a position to be harmed, because the person you are attacking may be armed and he is protected by law in defending himself.

Just take a look at him, someone has got to make his decisions.

Uhh, yeah, he deserves it. What sort of retarded comment is this? Not taking anything away from it yet Of all people he was lucky?

Glenn would move to RT before he would ever move to Guard. In other words, he won't be a guard.

Coming from you, doesn't surprise me in the least. Leftist douchebaggery at its finest.

Got Lucky? !@#$ing idiots

I guess I would say that first off, I disagree with the premise of your first statement, which is that Levitre wasn't "elite". I keep hearing some people say that, and I honestly don't know where these conclusions come from. Fine, we can disagree that he wasn't "elite", but he certainly by just about any metric has been one of the better guards in the league. He is durable, never misses a game. He didn't give up many sacks and the past two years the YPC behind him has been near or at the top of the league. If you want to dismiss these stats, fine, but from my point of view, just going by what I visually saw, he has been a beast. So I guess that is the crux of it all, valuing his level of play. I consider him a top 5 guard, and some people don't. In any case, if Levitre is earning $8M a year, and we go by what you and a few others believe, that Warmack will be better, which is a big if, but even if I were to accept that judgement, what would Warmack's potential value be if he were to live up to his expectations and look to get paid with his first re-signing contract? If Levitre is getting $8M, then surely Warmack an "elite" guard in today's world would be getting $9M a year. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I would go ballistic if they drafted a guard at #8. Not because I'm opposed to drafting a guard that high up, but that they obviously decided not to pay a guard the going rate of an upper echelon player of his position, which means it would make absolutely no sense whatsoever to draft one that high up if they have no intention of paying a guard at top caliber level.

Yeah yeah, sure

Where gun loving nuts and Monsanto hating anti corporatists meet, it's quite the romance.

It was a fantastic result and puts us in good position to qualify for the WC. In regards to the enjoyability of a 0-0 game, well, that's just how many soccer games are, many people appreciate the game within the game, and many here in the U.S don't. It is by far the most popular game on the planet, and there is no close second but here in the U.S it will never come close to being our top sport, and that won't change. The best the American team can hope for is to improve their youth league infrastructure, specially at the ages of 13-21 and continue to develop our domestic professional league. We've become a respectable team, which is a feat in itself, I mean it was only a few decades ago that we were the laughing stock of the world. So I'm pleased about that. We just need to develop some world class finishers, I'd say the best scorer that we've had over the past few decades was McBride and Donovan, and they are both respectable players, but we never have had that elite striker. It will happen, it's just a matter of time.

Yes, you're right, he's just trying to piss you, BuffaloedPA, Ryan L Billz and 1Bills fan off.

This is the exact point that I recently made. Levitre was already playing at a pro bowl level, he would of most likely been in Hawaii if he was playing on a halfway decent team, and if we weren't prepared to pay him the going rate for his caliber of play, then it would be beyond moronic to draft a guard at #8.

Kathleen Sebelius argues that once people get their subsidies from the government the insurance premiums for many of those people won't be higher. Well, that may or may not be true in certain instances, however the projected costs of the subsidies were based off a minimal premium rate of growth that was provided by Congressional Democrats on over to the CBO before the healthcare law was enacted. So if premiums rise faster than anticipated in the individual market, as suggested in this report, then the total cost of subsidies will rise sharper than the original projections, meaning that the total cost of ObamaCare will rise significantly exploding the Federal Budget.

This goes waaaaay back. Love the track!
