sweet baboo

Seriously...since we're basically the Detroit Lions right now, TO couldn't possibly make things worse.

are you kidding? can you imagine a music theater major taking statistics?

How old are you? I'm just curious as I've waded through this thread and have pretty much found that only your responses are incredibly naive. I'm not out of my 20's yet, but I certainly don't think like you.

bah, don't worry about it. The only news outlet that will cover it will be Fox news and after a few weeks, everyone will have forgotten anyway. I'm not sure what counts as a scandal for this administration these days.

Did you also only stay in areas where Americans roamed? You walk into the wrong area of Tokyo and you face the wrath of assorted knives and meat cleavers. If it's not one thing, it's another.

I've been hoping a good diesel car would come out soon. I'd also really like to purchase either an Audi or VW, however their terrible reliability keeps me from pulling the trigger. If Honda ever releases their Accord diesel, I'll be all over it.

Yes, I agree with you there. At the same time, I still stand by my point that dumping extra funding in will not stimulate the economy because any benefits will take many many years to see. If we want to really "stimulate" the economy NOW as the president and politicians claim, then any money being put into that stimulus bill needs to have immediate impact. Extra funding for research is another fight for another time. Now let's say that this extra funding would somehow stimulate the economy through creation of new jobs...how long would it really take? How long is it going to for the money to get divvied up to each funding agency? How long will it then take for PI's to then apply for those grants? They can't hire any more post-docs or take on extra students until that funding is guaranteed. Seems like it's at least a minimum of 2-3 years to fully process. Also, don't forget that when a PI gets funding from something like an RO1, the school takes a huge chunk. I guess some of that money could go towards hiring new faculty but I would not say that is money well spent to boost the economy quickly.

I think I missed something along the way as I was spending way too many years in school studying science and engineering, but I was always under the impression that if I didn't pay my taxes perfectly, I would get audited and the IRS would hound me to my death (see IRS demons in Spellsinger 6). so no, I've never cheated on my taxes. However, since government officials seem to be able to get away with it without even a slap on the wrist, I might as well do it too. note to big brother: I was just kidding. I don't do my own taxes, so please don't hound me like you did Couvier Coulb.

eh? more graduate students making 22k a year that don't contribute to product development in industry which is really what spurs the economy? more pipet tips and eppendorf tubes sold by VWR? I'm a PhD product of Biomedical/Chemical engineering research also and I'm not seeing it. I suppose if there are any major discoveries, some pharmaceutical company could run with it and make tons of money, however no immediate cash infusion is going to result in a drug that is going to boost the economy within 4 years. On top of that, what STD needs to be cured so badly that it's going to be a huge cash cow? HIV?

You state that you think they make the best vans and then state that you've only compared them with Ford clunkers. There's a disconnect here.

Chuck Schumer can eat a bowl of dicks. We really need term limits.

bah, symbolic gestures are everything! just look at what all the peace protests, hunger strikes and online petitions have accomplished!

This really shows how little people know about her. Caroline Kennedy no whiz with words How does one attend the best schools in the country while growing up and still manage to speak like that? People say engineers can't articulate their ideas but even we covered that in some of our courses (and at a state school! SUNY Buffalo). Every time, "Umm," or "You know" was uttered during a presentation, we'd lose a point from our final score regardless of the brilliance of the content.

I'm with you...but I doubt there will be enough people that are willing to take the stand. This is the same reason why the lame ass two party system is continuing to ruin our country.

I'm financially distancing myself from the Bills. No more merchandise, no more special trips to Buffalo for games and no more trips to the local bars in NH that carry NFL Ticket. I'll just keep tabs on them via the internet and the games that are broadcasted on tv (what is Jauron,0-6 against Belichick?) It's hard to avoid following the Bills when you live in WNY but after you've moved away, it's just not worth the effort to chase after a team that doesn't give a sh--.

Did it sound like he was doing the motorboat? ...that motorboating SOB..

so Denney and Kelsay get free passes also?

looks like i might be able to get some yard work done this afternoon

That's assuming that whatever transition GM makes turns out to be successful. With their track record, would you be willing to bet on them with your own money? I suppose, but those guys only want good investments.

no mention of Monica Belluci?

throwing money at the problem isn't going to solve it

I think he'll be back actually as he looked like he was able to put weight on it as they were taking him out. It really didn't look quite as bad as they were making it out to be. The hit on Losman last year looked alot worse. I almost took him in my fantasy draft at the 4th pick, but went with an RB instead.

what accent? the mild canadian accent?

no, not unless you're phelps or superman
