  1. Yup, Edwards' wife is overweight (is she really 'obese' by definition?).

    This is OT, but I think she'd qualify. This doesn't mean I view her as "obese" but some people I know have been classified as such in their physicals and to me appear only mildly overweight. I think the common view and the clinical definition are different.

     

    And, maybe you're onto something. Providing medical care for obesity early on can save a lot of money in the future, when the people in their 60s+ and on MediCare develop the diseases that are associated with it. Just like pre-natal screening saves $6 for every dollar spent. You guys talk about reducing the federal budget, these are baby steps to the day when we can say, okay we don't need these programs anymore b/c people are in better health. $2.5T - $.5T = $2T. Baby steps, and we'll get to a time when we can have the same standard of living w/o having to make so many transfer payments.

     

    Either that or we can sue McDonald's, Hostess, Ben and Jerry until we put them out of business. Remember, destroying private enterprise is alsmost as good as putting the government in charge of everything. Baby steps.

  2. 2004 is what I'm worried about right now, and Bob Herbert has been doing a running series on how, in Florida, elderly African Americans who have been registering people to vote have been receiving visits from the authorities, including the state police.  Now what could Grandma possibly be doing that merits a visit from the law?

     

    Sweep it under the rug if ANY candidate having an unfair advantage makes you feel better.  I for one would like to see justice and democracy in action, for EVERYONE, not just those citizens whose opinions are most convenient for those in power.

     

    By the way, regardless of whether this "article" is credible or not, how many times is Drudge going to be proven wrong (or lying as you put it with Dan Rather) before you give up on using him as a source?  Seems to be a bit of a double-standard...  :w00t:

    Well, Drudge did put up a copy of the actual DNC document on his site. The DNC did not deny that this was their document. They basically said he took it out of context. It seems unlikely at this point that he will be found in a Ratheresque "error" doesn't it?

     

    BTW, Thanks for getting rid of Rollie Fingers.

  3. It honestly was like watching a learned professor debating against a C-student frat boy- which OMG Bush really was. 

     

        Flame away, those of you who still don't get it- all you have now is personal insults to make your "points".

    69970[/snapback]

    Classic. You fling around personal insults to start a thread and then say your arguments can't be refuted, so your opponents will fling around personal insults.

     

    You managed this in two sentences. Classic.

  4. When the transcript comes out go look at it.  I just played it back in Tivo he said the shortage is created by litigation.

    I'm not currently watching the debate. I did hear mention on the radio this week (can't remember where - not Rush, maybe Paul Harvey?) that part of the reason that no American companies produce a flu vaccine is fear of litigation. Whatever I heard did site specific examples and explained when production stopped.

     

    I know it is vague. Sorry. That's all I remember.

  5. the libs on this board don't want to touch this one.

    they know that it was probably one of their own whose face was covered by GWB.

    What is the point of that? Some dem puts out an unbelievably bad and sick ad and your objection is only "it must be one of their's". Come on.

     

    The ad (if real) is so incredibly disgusting that I have no words for it.

    I see no reason to turn it 180 degrees. It's horrible. Why even joke about it?

     

    If either of these candidates put as much altruistic effort into their campaigns as the kids in the special olympics put into their efforts, I would be floored with surprise. Sure, they put in effort, but mostly it is an effort to benefit themselves, not to clearly communicate the truth. How anyone could make fun of retarded children in this manner is incomprehensible. It should make everyone sick.

     

    It breaks my heart that underneath the superimposed picture of Bush is a real kid. His parents probably recognize him. They've probably put an IMMENSE amount of effort into raising him and they get this in return? What the hell has the world come to?

  6. Mr. Goodwrench

    66593[/snapback]

    1. You shouldn't hate.

    2. "You shouldn't hate" sounds a little preachy to me

    3. People often find religion and become preachers while behind bars

    4. Most miami dolphins end up behind bars

    5. I hate the miami dolphins even though I shouldn't hate. I have chosen instead to focus all of my hate in one place.

    66553[/snapback]

    1. Double date with Fabio :blink:

    2. At the end of a double date with Fabio, you're likely to hear a woman scream "I can't believe it's not butter" (Unless you're a TBD poster and you chicken out)

    3. Butter is often served on bread

    4. Bread and water is the menu at many prisons which are the homes of ex-dolphins

    1. !@#$ Maimi

    2. Maimi is a misspelling of miami (you're lucky too because if you capitalize miami, I refuse to respond).

    3. Spelling errors often occur in places where nobody speaks the language of the land (English)

    4. No one in miami speaks English

    5. I hate the miami dolphins

  12. Even with the Bills 0-4 and the fish below them in the standings, there is still plenty of room for hating the fish. I still hate them like no other.

     

    To prove this, I will revive my 5 degrees of hating the dolphins thread. Here's how it works. Type something (anything) into line one. By line 5, I'll connect it to: "I hate the miami dolphins". Here is an example from last year:

     

    1. The Beverly Hillbillies

    2. One of the main characters in the Beverly Hillbillies was "Jethro"

    3. The Band "Jethro Tull" had a big hit with Aqualung

    4. Aqua is the main color of the miami dolphins uniforms

    5. I hate the miami dolphins
