  1. i was pulling for howard dean in that one. probably more analogous to ron paul than bachman.

    He probably would have won the nomination if not for his mighty "bbyyyyaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!"

     

    Dean screams, Kerry pretty much adopts all Dean's views and positions himself as a less weird Howard Dean. Another shining example of how much Americans care about "the issues."

  2. As well as plenty of statistics classes. And economy is, as I'm sure you know, measured with statistics. Had I made the choice now I might have gone into it as a major considering how interested I've become on the subject and the amount I've read into it.

     

    Care to tell us what your credentials are.

     

    P.S. I will admit that you have a point in bringing up credentials since I was the one that opened the door on it.

    Since you obliged, my undergrad degree is in Economics, I've been working in financial services/finance in a few different capacities for the past 5 years, and I've made some nice headway toward a CFA designation.

     

    And I'm not trying to suggest either that I'm an expert or that you're unfit to discuss economic matters with me. Just letting you know that there's actually quite a few regulars in PPP with solid foundations in finance and economics. FAs, FPs, pretty sure theres a forex trader, and a guy who runs a hedge fund. Oh, and a WWII buff. While a lot of the political threads quickly devolve into simian scatalogical warfare (not that theres anything wrong with that), the econ/finance threads tend to attract some people (not all) who know their stuff.

  3. I believe I also explained to you what my background was in. I studied some economics in school but I don't have a degree in economics. Is that what you wanted. Now tell me about how you're an economist and I'm stupid and have no reason to talk because I don't have a degree in economics. Come on do it. That's what you wanted to do. Now go ahead and blow your wad.

    You've made a habit of declaring that other posters don't know anything about economics. Since you have no qualms about telling me, 3rd and others that we're totally ignorant regarding economic matters, I was just curious as to your authority on the subject. Your credentials. Now I know, Eco 101 and 102.

  4. Why should I have to explain it to you if you are that frikin stupid. You have know idea how economics works. I would much rather see you continue to make a fool of yourself with questions like "How do we spend if deficit to pay with tax cuts?" It's so much more entertaining to me.

    This seems to be your usual way of acknowledging that you're in over your head before you bail out of the thread. I'm still waiting for you to get back to me in the Foxconn thread and explain the relationship between free trade, competitive advantage and how it plays into the economic growth model. I'd love to hear about your economic and financial qualifications too, since you've been on record stating that your background is in sociology/psych.

  5. I can't really say in some ways that i can blame the older players for being a bit pissed when you see jack asses like Jerry Jones spending $1.3 BILLION on a stadium or the New Jersey Giants spending 1.6 billion on a new stadium that was 5 years newer than the Ralph ..

     

    But i disagree with what the Green Bay guy said !! There is one player for the Eagles i think it may be Deshon Jackson that is wanting a new contract b/c he is broke & blew through all of his money . So are the rest of the players suppose to bail him out b/c of his ignorants ??

     

    Sounds to me like Kramer may be of the liberal cloth , like he thinks the spread the wealth Obama thing is the way to go ..

     

    If nothing else the league & for that matter the educational institutions should put in place education to learn how to make better money decisions so they don't end up in a bad place .. :doh: And i should practice what i preach !!!

    DeSean Jackson wants a new contract because his rookie deal has now expired. Yes he blew all of the money he had, but that is hardly relevant to his current negotiation except that it gives the Eagles a little more leverage in the ongoing negotiation. Bad example, and the word is ignorance.

  6. Ok I've been pondering this for a while. Not seriously but enough tho to make a post on a slow night. It seems to me that since the 80's or perhaps early 90's a noticeable number of African Americans have been given names with additional prefixes. For example LaRon McClain, JaMarcus Russell, DaNorris Searcy, MarShawn Lynch... and so on...

     

    That's all cool in my book but my question is... have peeps been given names like this all during the 20th century? Or is this a new thing? And if new then why and what's the cause? I haven't noticed this before the 80's. I'm a history buff so this has caught my attention. Perhaps this has been the norm for decades and I never noticed?

     

    Anyone have ideas on how this came to be? I'm just a man of curiousity. Very odd curiousity but curiousity nonetheless.

    I believe the trend you're referring to was part of a larger movement to define black identity in the U.S. People began adopting traditional African names which were then adapted into modern versions and spellings which over time gaveway to choosing names based on the uniqueness and/or cool factor.

  7. Okay...no point in gettin into a conversation with people who have no perspective. But, really, Obama/Clinton did not fracture the Democratic party anything close to what we are seeing this with this Republican primary. Sure, some people wanted Hillary Clinton, some wanted Obama, but there was never the level of hostility amongst them, shown at nearly every turn.

    Without a doubt, 2008 marked a low point in relations between black men and fat white women.

  8. You should have your penis temporarily removed or dye it completely black or something. When your attorney asks your accusers to describe your wang and they go on illustrating a typical white johnson, thats when you get up on the table for the dramatic reveal. You drop trou to show off your black stub, the court room erupts in applause and the case is immediately dismissed. Couldn't be easier.

     

    Are you set for legal representation, because my schedule is wide open?

  9. Oh dear.

     

    Make no mistake, that is an act of pure love.

     

    I'm a softie for dogs, so I imagine that I'd want to do the same but common sense dictates certain things. The caption indicates that the dog was on the ice, not that it fell through. It sounds dumb to ask but could he not have called the dog back... but then I'm guessing he probably did.

     

    My little boy is on his leash 100 percent of the time when outside.

    Considering the dog with glove is drenched, I'm guessing the puppy fell through first. Either way, its tragic and like you said, born of love for man's best friend.

  10. You sure are wasting time with your total ignorance. Tell us, jack ass, what actions Obama could have taken that would have created more employment. You say he "perhaps" lengthened the situation, I'd love to hear how that is so. Come on, let's hear.

    He could have waited on tackling healthcare reform until a meaningful recovery had taken hold. Instead he saw that he had the political clout to make it happen and rammed it home at the worst possible time. There's your suspect number 1 as to why the term "jobless recovery" has entered the lexicon.

  11. Well, different perspectives. I don't respect convictions that I believe are blatantly fictional.

    Like Obama's opinion on gay marriage?

     

    Whether or not you and DiN respect them, does not make Santorum's views on birth control a blunder. It may be the reason that Santorum doesn't get the nomination, as birth control and dogs on top of cars trump all with the issue-focused American public, but consistently stating a view and providing reasons why is hardly a blunder.

  12. Bought a Dell computer with Windows 7. Audio became slurred/distorted and pointer on mouse was jumping. Dell tried some manuvers that did not work and had to restore the computer which fixed the problem. They said it was a software issue. I had and have anti-virus protection as well. Now two weeks later the same malfunctions are happening again. Any thought on how to fix this rather than restoring my computer again which returns it to it's factory setting? Thanks so much for any help.

    I suggest you sober up, cold shower, cup of coffee, and check in on it later.

  13. I think its time for us to have a "national conversation" about the popular notion about how "great" Houston's rendition of the SSB is.

     

    IT STINKS. It does.

     

    Its bombastic, out of time, loud and she makes it all about HER. She sings that dreck any other day besides two weeks after Desert Strom begins and people wouldnt have given it a second thought.

     

    This is how its done....here....

     

    Finally, someone says what we all were thinking.
