There's a testimony for ya.

Then you've reversed your previous position on this, and I'm very happy to hear this. A week ago you were upset because our president wasn't providing enough jobs for people. I'm glad to hear you don't believe that nonsense anymore and respect that each person needs to hold themselves personally responsible for their actions and it is not the responsibility of the government to provide jobs to the unemployed...particularly when there are plenty of jobs available. Good job, BF. Good job.

I really need to see "Air America."

No argument there. It's not brain surgery. It's third and an obvious passing down. Where is Wayne Chrebet?

So you're saying it's a person's responsibility to avoid drugs, but it's not their responsibility to seek out work if they truly want to work because that is the government's responsibility. Personal accountability. You're half way home, dude.

Calm down, BF. I'm simply asking if I understood your point correctly...which is to say that people who use drugs need to be held accountable for their actions, not the people who supply the drugs. This is just ironic given that you feel that the government is responsible for providing jobs, and people who are unemployed should not be held accountable for their situation. You know what? That WAS a witty reply. I take back my initial comment.

I saw "Rent" in NYC and was absolutely stunned that this thing ever garnered the accolades it has received. What a whacked out messed up musical production. As I mentioned before, I also saw Cirque's production called "O!" About half way through I figured out what the O! stood for; it was short for "O my fuggin' God, I can't believe I spent $300 to watch this piece of crap!"

He didn't kill us last time. We LET him kill us last time. On third down you need to stay in Chrebet's pocket.

So you're saying that the problem is not the supplier of the drugs, but rather the fault of the person who takes the drugs, who should be at fault because they need to account for their own actions in taking the drugs? Is that what you're saying?

Michael Moore. May he rest in peace as well. Someone tell the fat lady she's ON in five!

Ba da ba ba baaaaa. I'm lovin' it.

Anytime Ice. Anytime.

How is something "no better, except 180 degrees"? Wouldn't 180 degrees be the opposite of "no better"?

ICE...stop fixating on DC Tom and answer my question. How would you fix the economy? What is your plan?

It must be because I STILL haven't heard how he plans to fix the economy. I don't need him to explain how he would fix EVERYTHING. I just want to hear his economic plan. That's all. He said he could fix it. I'm just wondering how. C'mon, ICE. Even BF took a shot at defending his claim. Surely you can do it. Just explain what you said you could explain.

Exactly.

Yeah, I caught that. And yet, here we are...still waiting for him to explain how he'd do it.

Hey Ice...I'm still waiting for you tell me how you would improve the economy better than it is improving right now. You guarandamnteed you could do it. I'm curious what your approach would be.

When did this fact become the fault of the government. The government didn't give me my stocks. I bought them myself. With my own money. The money I earned after working three jobs to get through college so I could have a good, solid source of employment and income so I could take personal accountability for my life. Tell me why again you bring this point up?

You really have to appreciate his avatar. (For the record, I use my Hogan's Heroes avatar because stevestojan referred to everyone at PPP at Nazis a couple of weeks ago.)

A veritable Who's Who of Candidates...I might add.

We can burn the flag of the United States and call Bush Hitler, but you don't like the use of the word "!@#$?" Typical fuggin' liberal.

AND...it's not just murder. It's a murder that was caused by society not helping blacks get a leg up. !@#$ didn't kill whitey. "The man" killed whitey. !@#$ just happened to pull the trigger because the government didn't give him enough money to succeed in life. Just another example of "the man" keeping people down, I guess.

Herein lies one of the biggest reasons he lost. No matter what you think of Bush's intelligence, he's a much better manager of people than Mr. Micromanager and his Thorazine dripping wife. HIs vocal belief (in front of a major publication no less) that he is running against an idiot transcends to his people. And as it turns out, the Bushies wouldn't let it happen. Dennis Miller said it right; people like Bush are successful because they surround themselves with intelligent people like a hole surrounds itself with a donut. Kerry and his people just figured he's an idiot and should be able to beat him handily with little or no effort to develop a plan. Who's the idiot here?????

If you're not in sales, you should be. You point out the most fitting tribute to Mr. Kerry as he heads back to the senate where he actually now has to do something signficant to prove that those other 19 years weren't a fluke. Add one more line item to the resume under "accomplishments": Set a record for garnering the single most votes of any president in the history of the US.* *for about four seconds.
