That's what's scary. They aren't dead, but they should be (at least in this current incarnation). Until the stake has been driven through the heart of the health care/insurance/whatever they want to call it reform bill, it ain't dead.

But wait a sec, didn't Lofton and White used to play for Green Bay? Mr. Wisconsin must have had a heck of a time w/ that. All those guys messin' up Coach Lombardi's squad.

Nah, she's very open-minded. Unfortunately, most of it seems to have spilled out that opening.

Yes, because the constituents and those reps realise that the "free federal money" game is a loser means that once the money has been added to the national debt those same reps should double (triple, whatever) their losses and make sure that while their constituents will get saddled with the additional debt they won't receive any of the benefits of that debt.

Sorry son, you are just going too far w/ this crusade.

But of course, the Big Kitty only shows up to eat from the kitty litter pile. So it wouldn't seem that way to her. Sorry big kitty. I jest. It must be cool, because it's all comedy. Even though I'm not a professional comedian, I've watched them on TV, and I know this is good stuff and just because you appear to hope to aspire to have an intellect as high as Conner but can't quite get there, the joke won't be lost on you.

Pelosi, Reid, & crew definitely still want to push this through. I'm not convinced they have enough votes to get the house to go along w/ the reconcilliation route. Unless something surprising happens in the next 8 months, the Dems will take a bath in November. At that point, I can see the lame ducks being willing to push this through; it can't cost them their jobs after the election and it can get them cushier lobbying jobs.

My guess is that after the 1st week in November, they DO ram it through. As long as the current Congress (House & Senate) are in office, it was my understanding that all bills are active until voted down. If the House waits until after the elections to vote on the Senate's bill, can't they approve it when they know the majority of them will be lobbyists? I know Barry will sign it as soon as it crosses his desk.

Nowhere in his post did he say Palin would be a good President. He said she'd be better than what we've got now.

That one was funny, but the creepiness factor knocked it down a notch. And who knew Abe Vigoda was still alive?

That one was definitely the best. Yeah, hard to see what was "offensive" about the ad. Although Tebow tackling his mother was rather bizarre.

As KT stated, people aren't slamming the Pres for saying "Hey, we need to tackle the deficit." They're slamming him for saying we need to tackle the deficit while proposing a budget w/ well over a $1T deficit which includes new spending not covered by his "freeze", said freeze coming a year after he blew the previous year's ridiculous amount of spending right out the window. People are slamming his words for not even being minutely correlated to his actions. I'd love to see him actually become financially responsible but I don't see any way that happens; at least not in 2010. I don't see where a one time $5,000 reduction in employee cost will do much to sway the businesses over to making that additional hire. It will sway some, but as LA states, the majority of companies that will take advantage of the $5k are companies that were going to hire anyway. Basically, Obama's saying "hey, you were going to hire anyway, here's $5k; remember that name O-B-A-M-A in '12."

Nope, he missed the game in Minnesota.

You do realize that Hostetler was the Giants' QB in XXV, right? Simms played against the Broncos.

While what you write is accurate, I'm disappointed you popped in. This frick said, frack said thread was highly entertaining and I was curious to see how it would all evolve w/ no external interferences. Oh well, maybe they'll get another dialogue rolling. It's a little early for beer and popcorn, but I might have to make an exception for that.

Cool. Glad to read he's doing better.

Tim, I know you addressed this prior to the Buddy Nix signing, but haven't seen anything since. Any thoughts on whether Modrak ends up staying and any thoughts on changes below his level w/in the scouting department? Thanks for keeping these threads going.

Of the 3, Patterson is far and away the best. How truly sad is that.

Are you trying to imply there's a masculine version?

So which fonts are hoax fonts and which are proof fonts? You could save the MSM a lot of time by pointing this out to them.

Let's see: McGroder hired from w/in - not so good Polian hired from w/in - best move EVER Butler hired from w/in - still had a strong team but set up cap issues Donahoe hired from outside - not so good Levy hired not from w/in but w/ obvious ties - not so good Brandon leading GM by committee - slightly better Nix hired from w/in - ??? Basically, I don't see how they've done the same thing repeatedly.

You very funny.

Sorry, you lost me at "Unemployment worse. False." How is unemployment not worse today than it was on January 19?

The "command and control" is simply putting greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act PSD provisions. And, your instincts are good in not liking the sound of that.

Who says you can't be on both lists?
