  1. Thats the problem though. Whats the goal?. And what system do we use do get there? What frustrates me is the notion that somehow more government regulation, larger government agencies, government programs somehow is a good thing. Like they can run anything. The US was built on individual responsibility, work ethic, an entrepreneurial spirit. Not some suffocating over lord with a socialist manifesto that simple does not work. But it really is hard to fight the lazy side of human nature. People think they are going to get a easier ride, they are going to take it. Throw in a good marketing team that can demonize the opponent and you have the odds tilted in your favor.
  2. Can't government get anything right?? Even the small stuff they have to get involved in and fug it up. It' been 3 years to get ready for this thing. If your not ready, too fvkin bad. And 1.34 billion was allocated for coupons?? TV is not necessary to survive. Why the fug is government giving coupons out in the first place for?? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9012303608.html
  3. Here's an idea. How about they build their own fuggin stadiums? There's so much money in the NFL why not? Players get multi million dollar deals so they should be able to afford a stadium right? I know before we can open up the doors at our business we have to pay for the building first.
  4. Steve Grogan used to kill us all the time
  5. Really??? Nice. Now just have to get a movie with Eve Mendes the same way She looked incredible in "The Spirit"
  6. Happy birthdays! I can't remember seeing the Quebecer posting though.
  7. Hey you!!! Don't let facts get in the way. Everyone loves to hate Rush!
  8. Well, I guess it's better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it. I don't own a gun btw but I can see it happening IF the economy gets even worse.
  9. Thats easy. Make a $h1tload of money. Get great connections. Payoffs. Easy money. Now compare that to a person who goes into business for themselves. Making, lets say tv wall mounts. Have a big capitol investment. Equipment. Building costs. Mortgage or rent, services(electricity, trash, water etc). Employee issues. Employee costs. Servicing loans for all of it. Environmental agencies and on and on. Who in the hell would want to go through all that to be a producer in society and employ people when you can leach off the state and make more money?
  10. Expect China to own Hawaii in 6 years. China likes the Clintons
  11. You should post more. Two great posts right in a row.
  12. Easily best movie from what I saw. I have not seen Slumdog yet though. Might this weekend.
  13. Wow. What a strange list. Benjiman Button is no best picture of the year. Probably Milk or Nixon deal will win. Hollywood likes stuff like that. Oh well. I never watch the Oscars anyway just for this reason. Too much politics.
  14. Welcome to the area Chef Jim. I can't say I've been too a lot of restaurants in SF proper. Only out here in the east bay. But two of my favorite places are Fog City Diner and especially Scoma's right by the piers near the Bay Bridge. I'm sure the Dean and others have a much better handle on the dining options in the city. These are two of my favs though.
  15. I think he's supposed to be. It's hard to tell from that video. Mental note. No Colbert on DVR!
  16. I don't blame the guy for going frankly. Houston's offense is way better than ours. He's telling the truth. Not sure if I'd interpret his comments as a slam against the Bills though. Even if it is, the truth shouldn't hurt. Comparting the two O's, I think the rb's are a wash. Hou's Oline is better. WR's better. TE better. More exciting. If our sked wasn't the easiest going I think the numbers would have been worse.
  17. gee, who does that remind you of?
  18. Conservatism didn't fvck things up. Problem is that the Republicans aren't true conservatives anymore. For the most part anyway. Problem is both parties are fat and corrupt. Including your boy Obama and your other boy Clinton. Including Bush. So don't say conservatives or conservatism fvcked things up. If there was a true conservative mind set in power we would not be in debt like we are now. It was both parties that got us too this point where we could be sold anything and buy it hook, line and sinker. We can be sold an no name senator that as far as I'm concerned, comes off like a smooth talking snake oil salesmen. Really, a guy who has to laughing himself to sleep at night because he is being treated like a rock star for absolutely no reason. Or at least a reason that he is responsible for. He's a guy that really has no reason to be president.
  19. yeah it is what it is. Acting was pretty good. Had Ted Aitkens(Halloween series) in it as the cop. Kinda brought back memories of the 80s. I wouldn't say it was really scary, just over the top gore taking advantage of the 3d format. Definitely worth going to see if you are looking for something lite and fun.
  20. Priorities out of whack already. I hope that this is a joke.
  21. Here, here!!! Agree 100% Problem is Obama is not the guy that you are talking about. He is a socialist. Government run health care is saying government is the answer. The US is more divided than ever. Left vs Right. Country has to decide whether we are going to be a capitalist, self sufficient society or are we gonna go euro/Canadian style and go socialism.
  22. I always kinda thought crayonz and Mr Fancy Pants were the same guy. btw I wish Mr Fancy Pants didn't change his avatar. I liked his old one. Kinda fit him. No pun intended.
  23. You poor man. We have 4 dvr's so I can't keep track of whats all there. Myself I record Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Top Chef Ramsays Kitchen Nighmares (Fox editions) Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares (BBC editions) Throwdown With Bobby Flay Chopped Arrested Developement MXC X-Play South Park
  24. Why the venom? I don't want this to happen. I'm just saying we are dealing with people that think our entire country should burn. And tell me why my responses make no sense?
