You described yourself as Jeffersonian that's what is hysterical- you sir are not Jeffersonian, you are not Kennedyesque, you are not even Dan Quaylian. but there is a politician you remind me of

That's pretty good Tom, Main supply routes is pretty easy but TPPDP I'm unfamiliar with- Theater Personnel Package Departure Point? .......................... Deployment Point? Time-Phased Package Deployment Procedure? well anyways Dexter says he has a Star Gate and there's another one in Tora Bora so your point is moot. btw Star Gates were the real reason we invaded Iraq

Good read Simon. GG I can see why you don't like it- it conflicts with your abstract matrix view of the world where we must forever summit to the big financial institution suicide bankers or they will blow themselves up and take us with them- of course the problem is the crisis isn't stopped it's merely postponed. The measures taken allowed for money to be redistributed from the poor and middle class to the financial class and allowed the same class time to get out dollar denominated paper and into tangible assets. The housing market isn't going revive any time soon, in fact it may go into another decline, eventually (nothing good happens to unoccupied real estate) institutions are going to have to realize market prices on housing assets and show losses, at that time the word insolvent is going to rear it's ugly head.

and why wouldn't I trust those slippery corporate !@#$s for example yeah but of course who knows maybe they were lying when they were claiming profits or maybe they are lying now when they are claiming a loss- it's hard to know because they are lying liars

No not agreeing with you but I figured this was the source you used. I don't want to see this- GE paid almost $2.7 billion in cash taxes in 2010 on a consolidated basis (almost 19% of pretax income from continuing operations). I want to see this- GE paid almost $2.7 billion in cash taxes U.S. corporate taxes in 2010 on a consolidated basis (almost 19% of pretax income from continuing operations). I don't want to see-GE paid significant U.S. income tax in 2010 and in total from 2006-2010. Over the past 10 years, GE has paid almost $23 billion of corporate income taxes to governments around the world, making it one of the highest payers of corporate income taxes. As disclosed in the cash flow statements of the 10-K, we paid over $14 billion of income taxes to governments around the world over the past 5 years.

What happened to Obama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6XLE7qZxik&feature=player_embedded I just don't know when he shaved his beard. The new rebel leader lived in Virgina for twenty years 5 miles from Langley

Tom there are a lot of weasel words here- mainly I don't give a !@#$ what they paid in Taxes I give a !@#$ what they paid in U.S. corporate taxes, what they paid world wide I don't give a crap.

: I got to admit that's pretty good

I didn't say I was a sock puppet just a leader of sock puppets you paste licking, nose picking, sheep sticking, poster-boy for Cephalic anal impaction.

I'll be awaiting something reviewed not straight from GE legal and PR.

As leader of the sock puppets let me add my two cents link

well I got this but lets see what you got.

Corporations are neither good or evil they are amoral like machines or great white sharks their function is to maximize profit. That is why they need boundaries and regulations if they are to remain a social good for a nation state. One problem now is that to a great extent the corporations have captured both the regulatory agencies and our politicians. Another problem is capital has much greater freedom of movement than labor. For the last 35 years or so we and most of the West have let corporation asset strip them, moving jobs to the lowest wage markets, with the least environmental and safety regulations. The result of this off-shoring for the developed world is to cause stagnant or declining wages for the majority and to concentrate wealth at the top.

As I said when Spiller was drafted it's like putting $2,000 rims on a rusted out car with no engine. Can he carry to rock 20-25 times a game? can he run between the tackles? can he pass block? and worst of all, something I thought he could do but saw no sign of, make plays catching the ball out of the backfield. I thought Buddy Nix was great saying " I'm going big you need big men in the trenches" I failed to catch the part when he said "right after I draft an undersized RB".

Is that an effective corporate federal tax or is that payroll taxes and property taxes. by the way when you right wing monsters were decrying the poor paying no Federal income tax I don't remember any of you corporate shills bringing up the fact that the poor pay an effective total tax of around 40% link The table from the above link only goes to $500,000 if it showed the effective total tax of multimillionaires to billionaires you would see their effective total tax drops to around 17% for the simple reason that the super rich tend to make their money from capital gains and dividends. The amount of the U.S. federal tax burden paid by corporations has drop from 30% to 6% some might blame the fact that while top corporate statutory rates are 35% actual effective rates paid on U.S. claimed profits are closer to 20% but more important are the accounting gimmicks that allow the U.S. headquartered multinationals to claim loses in the U.S. and their gains in counties with low or no corporate taxes.

"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations of the earth have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."

Tom is this as accurate as your Japan has no Unions Statement, you unpleasant corpulent trouser fondler. A Constitutional Lawyer and later President said "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation" maybe he was thinking of the war power Clause " [Congress shall have Power...] To declare War" or maybe he was thinking of The war powers resolution "© The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces." NATO Article 5 The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security . Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. self-defence Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security. "The United Nations Charter strictly limits Chapter 7 military actions to threats to international peace and security, which Libya has never represented, but rules out interference in internal affairs of member states. The pretext cited in this case was the protection of defenseless civilians, but it is clear that the rebels constitute an armed military force in their own right. Since no state can be an aggressor on its own territory, the Security Council resolution stands in flagrant violation of the UN Charter."

There might come a time when you consider that the good old days.

The west engages in farce - they'd like to accidentally on purpose kill Qaddafi while leaving plausible deniability or implausible deniability , as long as they have a fig leaf to hide behind- To me this violates our Constitution, the U.N.'s charter and NATO's mission statement but hey it's a wild world now.

Do people always get together in America no but people have come together like the 9/11 responders or like how they rebuilt the roads and overpasses in California after the earthquake, they got that done in about a 1/4 the estimated time. Our military is another place where we do a fine job of getting people to come together for a common cause. I remember Westley Clark say the reason we have such a fine fighting force is the soldiers fight for their fellow squad members and officers take care of their men first.

Let me put it this way, I've never seen anyone refuse to work with someone else for racial reasons- I've had people tell racial jokes, I've heard people B word, moan, and use racial slurs to insult a coworkers competence or work ethic but never refuse to work together. People hooking up, breaking up badly and then refusing to work together was the big problem.

I've never heard that, my fathers generation maybe but he mocked the Irish, Italian and Polish mostly.
