  1. Don't be a troll. Blacks don't vote for Obama because they are racist.

    Black people can't be racist. They're minorities.

     

    Racism is clearly defined as any statement or idea this is, might be, or can possibly be construed as a derogatory statement, idea or action, originating from a white man (or possibly a white-hispanic depending on how white sounding their last name is) toward any non-white individual or maybe even a white woman.

     

    For example: Wow, that was the longest Monday ever. I could certainly go for a cerveza after work. How about you, Pedro?

     

    RACIST!

  2. trouble is, we've got an older IMac, running OS 10.5, in which there are no more security updates. and this is the problem i have with Apple, their products last so long that -- and my wife is perfectly content with what this computer can handle -- that she's not wanted to buy a new one.

    Wow, running outdated versions of OSX is horribly not hip, and tragically not cool. How is she going to be one of those happy dancing silhouettes running f@#$ing HouseCat? She needs to SuperEndangeredSnowTigerFromSpace if she is ever to be a creative individual who is eco-friendly and drinks the trendiest coffee.

  3. Well they dont have to amputate. But its still a bit of a mystery. Did a blood test that I will know about tomorrow or wednesday

    You caved! And you were doing so well, too.

     

    Seeking medical attention is like calling all your ex-girlfriends in one long, sorry, cry fest. You could have ignored that tingling, but instead you needed closure or some nonsense and went to the doc on bended knee. You're supposed to feel numb. Its part of being a man.

     

    Now take your ovaries to bed. You'll need your beauty sleep, Captain Sally.

  4. This election was about anything BUT the economy. But hey, when the country is in the shitter, we can at least be happy that women get free birth control pills, gays can marry, and illegals can continue to come into the country and get amnesty. Woo boy!

    How can the election be about the economy when 99% of the population, including our elected officials, have no clue about economics? The vast majority of the population looks at economic performance not in the context of a business cycle but rather views the Dow as a proxy for economic performance and attributes its rise and fall with Presidential success. I've seen that sentiment expressed here a number of times, even from very intelligent contributors. Most view the economy as a zero sum game. How many times have you heard bewilderingly stupid remarks like "I care more about people than the economy"?

     

    The presidential election will never really be about the economy.

  5. A non-partisan explanation of "Trickle Down Economic Theory"

     

    In a nu­tshell, trickle-down theory is based on the premise that within an economy, giving tax breaks to the top earners makes them more likely to earn more. Top earners invest that extra money in productive economic activities or spend more of their time at the high-paying trade they do best (whether that be creating inventions or performing heart surgeries). Either way, these activities will be productive, reinvigorate economic growth and, in the end, generate more tax revenue from these earners and the people they've helped. According to the theory, this boost in growth will ultimately help those in lower income brackets as well. Although trickle-down economics is often associated with the policies of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, the theory dates back to the 1920s. The name also has roots in the '20s, when humorist Will Rogers coined the term, saying, "The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes it would trickle down to the needy" [source: Shafritz].

    Thats an aspect of supply side economics not a unique theory.

  6. Was hoping this would happen when the Foo Fighters announced their hiatus last month.

     

    It's been a shame that the best Rock drummer of my generation hasn't done much drumming over the past 20 years.

     

    I like Joey on drums for QOTSA, but you can't deny Dr. Dave.

     

    He killed it on Songs for the Deaf, so this up my anticipation for more QOTSA.

    Good news. I've been rocking out QOTSA and Eagles of Death Metal all day.

  7. Everyone isn't a fox news zombie. So save your pathetic rhetoric for other fox news zombies. I'm actually an investor myself, it's a big part of my life, but I'll pay my taxes when I cash them out. I won't try and cheat the country whose military I served in, whose police protected me, whose policies supported the middle class and I love

    Big part of your life? 6 months ago myself, Tom and meazza had to explain to you why dividends are relevant after you wrote them off as $15 or $20 here and there. Now you're a big investor?

     

    Why isn't Bush out supporting Romney???

    Bush isn't out supporting Romney because Romney needs to separate himself and his policies from GW if he is to give himself a chance to win. If GW were out endorsing Romney, then nutjobs like you would paint Romney as the next GW who you've already blamed for housing market collapse, recession, lying to start two wars, causing Hurricanes, not caring about black people, crimes against humanity, and a litany of other offenses. Think it through.

  8. I'm never called to have a poster banned before. That's totally retarded. "Make him go away so I don't have to read what I should ignore. My pea brain hurts enough already without have to read someone I disagree with." I won't respond to you again as I just see you as such a low life, addle minded loser that you are not worth the effort.

    I'll tell SDS to run it by you next time you're banned, Park Dodgers in Norfolk.

  9. You can throw Nick Tahoe's into the same category.. I'll give 'em credit for making the orignal Garbage Plate, but others have made it SOOOO much better.

    In order for Tahoes to be a tourist trap, Rochester would have to have had tourists. Yes there are better plates to be had at Dog Town or Charlie Riedels, but Tahoes is still better than many of the [suburb] Hots around town.

     

    to all who say "they dont suck" or "wings are good with more than just franks"

     

    - the sauce is BLAND, wings are OFTEN under cooked there and who knows where they get these from because I have never seen/received the type of "retarded" chicken wings regularly that I have from Anchor Bar...it bothers me to think of a child with Downs Syndrome as I eat a chicken wing (and thats what happens in my mind when I get a chicken wing that is not a normal drum or wing)

     

    for all the places in Buffalo that have AWESOME wings, I just cant see myself ever wasting time at Anchor Bar (only time I go is when I have out of town guests who INSIST on going there, and even then I HIGHLY discourage)

     

    Better wing places: Duffs (by FAR), Elmo's, Gabriels Gate (just the BBQ), Amherst Ale House...all have far superior wings to Anchor Bar....

    Only been to the original Anchor Bar twice, and both times my wings were excellently cooked and at no time was I reminded of developmental or chromosomal disorders. Duffs, on the other hand, has served me some pretty soggy, disgusting wings swimming in vinegar. If wing sauce need be more than Frank's, than it certainly should be more than just vinegar. There is no excuse for ever serving soggy wings.

     

    The Anchor Bar franchise locations in Rochester were truly an abomination. Service sucked, and wings consistently came to the table cold and without sauce.

  10. Pols can be skewed, but even more fun, are approve/disprove polls..

     

    And right now, PBO is failing terribly on both the economy and Lybia....

     

    I think this is a forgotten part of the polling crap we read. Read the other data folks.... While it's certainly possible, I doubt many people are voting PBO that disagree on his handling of the economy, and/or foreign affairs...

     

     

     

    Dewey/Truman is a ridiculous analogy. based on the speed of news media today, and blogs where people can get alternative views...

    Is that the latest front in the war against Women? Have feminist renounced the tyranny of the "a" for the more empowered sometimes vowel "y"?

  11. What does it say about you?

     

    What does it say about the country?

    If my candidate doesn't win then it means that hes a loser, which means by extension that I'm a loser, and ultimately that my dad was right.

     

    But seriously, the outcome of this election says little to nothing about me.

     

    I do believe that the outcome of this election does reflect pretty strongly on this nation. Should Obama be re-elected, I believe that would signify that the majority of Americans are more concerned with short term gain than long-term sustainability. That we as a nation are committed to ideas that sound nice rather than ideas that work. If my candidate does not win, I would take that as proof that we intend to follow the example set by our friends in Europe despite the fact that we've already seen how that pans out.

     

    I'm not suggesting that if my candidate wins all those problems will be solved, but he at least claims to represent views more similar to my own.
