You really don't think Obama knows there are 50 states? Obama was tired and meant to say he had campaigned in 47 of the lower 48 and had yet to campaign in Alaska or Hawaii. Personally I wouldn't care about Bachmann's or anyone else's history brilliance or lack there of as long as they stopped trying to make political points with it.

Who- I know we have a FB, is that the criteria?- because then we don't need anyone.

I can say the same things about any of these rethugican cuts that the Krauthammer said about ending Oil and Gas subsidies or corporate jets- Did you want Obama to go through a 200 item list, If it was me with the Krauthammer I'd say yeah you're right but wait until we end the Bush Tax cuts to the wealthy, put in a 1% financial transaction tax, uncap the payroll tax from $106,000 to unlimited, and tax capital gains and dividends as ordinary income. I'm sure he'd have something clever to say after he recovered from his stroke. Corporation for Public Broadcasting Subsidy. $445 million annual savings.

I know that most people on the board including me would like free agents like Zach Miller and Tyson Clabo- but I would like to put out there some lower profile free agents. Ryan Harris RT Denver- not the biggest guy but a good zone run blocker and pass protector Manny Lawson SF OLB - the Bills have lots of players at OLB we hope will play great but little proven, Lawson while not the greatest sack artist has played at an NFL level and puts a floor under our OLBs Marcel Reece FB Oak - I'm not a fan of the FB position but the Bills use one - Marcel Reece is a good run blocker and a very good pass catcher out of the back field. Dave Thomas TE NO- a very versatile player- NO really wants to keep him, Thomas says wants to stay but he's going to test the market anyways and money talks.

Savings by eliminating breaks on oil/gas subsidies and corporate Jets - 40 billion Savings by cutting WIC, that the rethugicans had to have - 650 million Charles can stick that envelope where the sun don't shine

I'll celebrate the anniversary of the nation's birthday on the 4th of July and why do you hate statistics? Sorry I didn't have something more patriotic like

Alaska is #1 with a rate 5x more than New York - which is weird considering they got like six women in the whole state.

I was reading peoples comments after the article and it's interesting to see how people think- one guy wrote in Buffalo only a million times have I've seen people give each jumps, push or shovel people out of the snow, or even do the dangerous act of changing someones tire when a car is broke down with a flat and I'm sure it's like that in alot of places. Someone else wrote about how Texas has such very low unemployment because they are so conservative, of course they're tied with Delaware for 20th. UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, SEASONALLY ADJUSTED Alabama 9.6%(p) in May 2011 Alaska 7.4%(p) in May 2011 Arizona 9.1%(p) in May 2011 Arkansas 7.8%(p) in May 2011 California 11.7%(p) in May 2011 Colorado 8.7%(p) in May 2011 Connecticut 9.1%(p) in May 2011 Delaware 8.0%(p) in May 2011 D.C. 9.8%(p) in May 2011 Florida 10.6%(p) in May 2011 Georgia 9.8%(p) in May 2011 Hawaii 6.0%(p) in May 2011 Idaho 9.4%(p) in May 2011 Illinois 8.9%(p) in May 2011 Indiana 8.2%(p) in May 2011 Iowa 6.0%(p) in May 2011 Kansas 6.6%(p) in May 2011 Kentucky 9.8%(p) in May 2011 Louisiana 8.2%(p) in May 2011 Maine 7.7%(p) in May 2011 Maryland 6.8%(p) in May 2011 Massachusetts 7.6%(p) in May 2011 Michigan 10.3%(p) in May 2011 Minnesota 6.6%(p) in May 2011 Mississippi 10.3%(p) in May 2011 Missouri 8.9%(p) in May 2011 Montana 7.3%(p) in May 2011 Nebraska 4.1%(p) in May 2011 Nevada 12.1%(p) in May 2011 New Hampshire 4.8%(p) in May 2011 New Jersey 9.4%(p) in May 2011 New Mexico 6.9%(p) in May 2011 New York 7.9%(p) in May 2011 North Carolina 9.7%(p) in May 2011 North Dakota 3.2%(p) in May 2011 Ohio 8.6%(p) in May 2011 Oklahoma 5.3%(p) in May 2011 Oregon 9.3%(p) in May 2011 Pennsylvania 7.4%(p) in May 2011 Puerto Rico 16.0% in May 2011 Rhode Island 10.9%(p) in May 2011 South Carolina 10.0%(p) in May 2011 South Dakota 4.8%(p) in May 2011 Tennessee 9.7%(p) in May 2011 Texas 8.0%(p) in May 2011 Utah 7.3%(p) in May 2011 Vermont 5.4%(p) in May 2011 Virginia 6.0%(p) in May 2011 Washington 9.1%(p) in May 2011 West Virginia 8.6%(p) in May 2011 Wisconsin 7.4%(p) in May 2011 Wyoming 6.0%(p) in May 2011 It reminds me of DaveinElma crime spree delight when statistically violent crime has trended downward since the 80s- at least to 2009 latest stats I could fine, the murder rate has dropped in half per 100,000 but Dave thinks it's the worse it's ever been.

The correct spelling is "معمر القذافي," as for Colonel instead of General it's probably because he was inspired by Nasser.

Just to give a different side then main stream media gives.

Marcus

It's more likely that China would buy you before you buy us- after all your side is the one that believes everything should be for sale.

Oh yeah I forgot to say you get to have DaveinElma too.

Again that's fine with me - you right-wingers are !@#$ing hard to agree with, you want to split the country and I agree and give you 75% of the land, and you're still busting balls. It's like when this guy from Texas I worked with would talk about how terrible America was becoming and how he wanted Texas to leave the Union- and I said that would be great- and he was offended.

That's why it's great you have Alaska, plenty of ice flows to push them out to sea on.

Hey you want to split the country along right/lift lines then you have to take the whole right not just your part of the right- you get Rand Paul, Bob Barr, the Koch Brothers and John Hagee with that order no fries no substitutions.

but Dante buddy it ain't all about you, the Christian Fundamentalists want their say on what is taught in schools, on abortion, on homosexuality, and maybe adultery, fornication, pornography- maybe they want no work on Sundays and who knows what else. You think the corporate elite really want free markets? minimal laws and regulations? good !@#$ing luck with that boyo! you'll have all the privatized prisons how do you think they're going to increase their profits?- I don't think you have an understanding of what the structure of right is- basically the corporate elite using extreme Libertarians and Christian fundamentalists as a voting block.

The right is composed of three main blocks - Christian fundamentalist, Business corportists and Ayn Rand loving Libertarians if you want to split into two or three different countries that's up to you- Jesus Land, Rand Land, and U.S. INC would probably all have interesting flags and national anthems. Again enjoy.

You got Urbik, Reinhart, Howard and Wrotto all with reasonable size and athletic ability- I'm not worried about RG - TE is the weakest position followed by RT

You understand my point? what point? a motion has been made to split the country across Right/Left ideology and I welcome it- Christian Fundamentalist, Corporatists, and Ayn Rand fanboy Libertarians, can cozy up with each other and have no progressives allowed orgies if that's what make you happy- you can teach that God created the world 6000 years ago in all your schools, outlaw homosexuality and get rid of the minimum wage, overtime regulations, discrimination regulations, safety regulations, pollution regulations, social security, and medicare, if that's what makes you happy. Again enjoy.

Didn't read the article but I'm all for this - and will trade last Presidential election Blue States FL,NM,NV,VA for ND,MT,ID- you get AK and we get HI- So basically we get the east coast up from PA, across the Canadian boarder and the West Coast and you get the rest- enjoy.
