Ok...now this article says $350 billion.
Still not a bad investment.

When you hear $15 billion to achieve internet speeds to the entire country that is 25 times faster than what we have today in only 10 years, it sounds like one hell of a bargain considering the spending of the last 10 years.
Probably the smartest investment I've seen our gov't make in my lifetime.

I don't argue. I just took offense to the original post attributing quotes to Obama that he didn't make.
Not Obama technically, but Gibbs/White House, which IS Obama's mouthpiece:
The White House has claimed, however, that the Senate health care bill will not change U.S. law on abortion or alter the status quo. “The president is not and will not change current federal law in dealing with abortions and healthcare,” asserted White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Thursday.

Per WGR just now quoting Fox Sports.
No link, heard on the radio.

Peggy Noonan in her article today says that federally funded abortion in on page 2,069 of the bill, yesterday Stupak said it is in there as well.
Also yesterday, Pelosi and Obama said that there is nothing about federally funded abortion in the bill.
I honestly want to see who is right, and am trying to find the bill online but can't find it, anybody have a link?
With Stupak and his followers, this detail could be what brings down the bill, so would like to read for myself.

Hmmm.....Massa voted against healthcare and probably would have done so again....then this comes out and he has to resign. Chicago politics at play?

Anybody recommend programs I can use to backup my movies on a Mac?
I had AnyDVD and CloneDVD on my PC, but that computer has died so looking to start using my Mac. I used Mac the Ripper and another program recently, but I'm looking for a program that allows me to select what to copy (previews, extra content, etc)
I've researched online but there are a ton of options.

I went to Fordham, the football program is a complete joke. It only went D1 in 1989 and in that stretch had 2 good years, the rest of have been mediocre (including Skelton's last couple years) and have had some 0 win seasons in there. They play in the Patriot League against and ivy league type teams and often get their rear handed to them. I'd say chances are slim that Skelton is much more than a long term project. Another recent Fordham QB, Kevin Eakin, got a lot of press and bounced around the NFL (including Buffalo) practice squads and never amounted to anything.
Fordham was once on par with Notre Dame (Vince Lombardi played there, played in Bowl games, even the St. Louis Rams are actually named after the Fordham Rams who were originally the Cleveland Rams) but that legacy is dead.
I'd say pass.

Babe Ruth hit over 700 home runs while being fat and drunk most of the time...just sayin....

This was actually sent by a very anti-war liberal friend who hates Obama for not being liberal enough. This is transparency huh?
"President George W. Bush's longest stretch between prime-time, nationally televised press conferences was 214 days, from April 4 to Nov. 4, 2004. Mr. Obama tops that record on Monday, going 215 days - stretching back to July 22, according to records kept by CBS Radio's veteran reporter Mark Knoller."
Which many don't count as a real presser as it was short and impromptu.

I had to stop watching when he started crying about mama, but nobody is home upstairs. The good thing about him is that I bet folks will be a little more scared to attack senior citizens in the future.
-
IMO he had no message,he was suicidal and wished to go out with a splash. That's all.
IMO he knew the future and wanted to create a fad diet....the Ghand-EAT NOTHING.

The guy was a nutjob, and sounds a hell of a lot more like a anarchist than a right winger.
If you're going to group him in with Tea Baggers, then you need to group Bin Laden in with liberals since his last tape shared many of the same arguments as them (blame Bush, America is causing global warming, global warming is settled science, praised liberal activist Noam Chomsky, corporations are bad, etc)
Do I believe Bin Laden is a liberal? No, he's a psychotic murderer and that's the only label he deserves, same as the Austin guy who attempted to murder innocents. Anybody that tries to argue different either has an agenda or is an idiot.

as someone starts putting up a sign on the nearby highway promoting the fact that the potholes being filled are your tax dollars at work, compliments of the Recovery Act of 2008.
I actually saw one of these signs a few weeks ago driving through NJ...it was a metal/permanent looking sign. Of course there were a bunch of orange cones around and nobody working.

That's tactical. It gives a shitload of jobs to Unions. The only enviros really bent out of shape over this are the extremes and they aren't going to vote for anyone but him anyways.
The extremes actually now hate Obama, they think he's the 2nd George W Bush....that's how nuts they are.

One of the best articles I've read in awhile:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405...0491303964.html
Whole thing argues this final point:
"Can Mr. Obama still make a mid-course correction, a la Bill Clinton after 1994? Of course he can. What we don't know is whether he has the political instincts and nerve to do so. As a creature of Chicago politics and the legal class, he has lived his entire life in precincts dominated by the political left. On the other hand, he says he is not "an ideologue."
Americans have already sent one rebuke to Democrats in the form of Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. Now Mr. Bayh, a senior Member of their own party, has sent another by skipping town and putting another Senate seat in play. Our guess is that it will take one more repudiation in November before Democrats relearn that you can't govern America successfully from the political left."

TOTUS has over 9,000 and I suspect will be much more entertaining:
Now its 9,001

Just signed up and sent his first Tweet, only 600 people following so far...
This should be interesting:
-
We Are the World should have been buried with Michael Jackson, and the "stars" of today should have made an effort to sing something original instead of ripping off another generation's idea and ruining it. First The Karate Kid remake, now this. And what the hell is Jeff Bridges doing in there?

Because it would accelerate the US transition out of the stone age and into the information age. In 10 years everybody will have access to high speed internet, everything could move over to data. Letting private companies handle it means it prob won't happen in our lifetime. It'd pay off long term for growth in the US and create jobs, it'd have the same impact as Eisenhower's highway system.
I marketed Verizon FiOS for two years when nobody knew what it was, I know the way they think.
