That'd probably explain the 5 copies my wife was forced to buy.

I think my wife's dissertation outsold Pelosi's book.

Great stuff Ken. Keep it coming.

Yes, they had held a narrow majority in the House until the last election. As demonstrated by the vote yesterday, just because you have a majority doesn't mean you will pass what legislation you bring up. Barney is, and was, a very powerful member of Congress and has been an ardent supporter of Fannie and Freddie for many years. There is absolutely no way any meaningful legislation was going to get approved unless Barney was on board or the Republicans had a much larger majority. Neither was realistically going to happen. Should the miraculous have happened, and all the Republicans in the House voted for it; how exactly would it have gotten through the Senate? It wouldn't have, and the cries would have gone out about how the mean Republicans were trying to keep minorities from being able to get their share of the American dream.

What do the Senecas care about some crime in Indonesia?

Wrong again Deb. Patriot Act - 2001 Sarbanes Oxley - 2002.

Ding, ding, ding! I don't understand why people don't seem to realize that every $ the government spends is a tax. It's just some of it will get taken out of our pockets tomorrow instead of today.

I thought they were heading home to see if they could find their old Giants gear before that game was over. "If I can find it, I hope I can still squeeze into that size 62 sweat shirt, I've put on a couple of pounds since January '02". And I loved watching Moss short arm a 3rd & 8 at the beginning of the 3rd.

All that system does is favor vertically integrated firms. But you probably knew that already. And yes, I own my own business.

Uh, that'd be Bush 41.

So, if I'm a small grain distributor buying wheat from a farmer, I pay 1% tax on the grain I buy, and then the mill will pay 1% tax on the grain they process, and then the baker will pay 1% tax on the grain they process into bread, and then the guy who distributes the bread will pay 1%, and then the guy who sells sandwiches made from the bread pays 1% tax on that and the vendor he sold the sandwiches to that actually sells to a customer pays 1% and the guy who finally eats the sandwich pays 1% on that. Did I get all that straight? That's just over 7% paid out on your 1% flat tax. Of course the sandwich which came from ADM which owns the whole supply chain ends up w/ a 1% tax at the customer's end. That clearly looks like an equitable situation to me.

Eh, the Bills were just waiting for Pominville to sign to set the market. Now that he's in, they're good to go.

She's still alive. Let's hope she makes another 221.

You are correct, it was on a message board, it wasn't on 7 or 4 or 2. I'm pretty sure you have had lots of guests on your show in the past, and you haven't started a thread about (many/any of) them. I just don't understand why having the "tiny tot" is what you advertise when you don't start a thread about having had Gabe Northern (who I might actually like to hear what he has to say about the Bills) and others that are FAR more interesting and FAR more intelligent. Sorry if I am turning this into a pissing match; it really isn't my intention. I just really don't understand how Artie is more relevant than other guests you've had.

That was another huge play by Youboty as the LT picked him up probably thinking the guard would pick up Williams. Williams did very well on that one.

Not a big basketball fan, but that could have been a very entertaining show. Do you know if that broadcast available on the net and where to find it? I did a quick search but didn't find it.

Really? That makes 2 of us. My bad, I thought your starting a thread called "Art Wander" implied that you thought it was "newsworthy."

Brad, I've always liked listening to you and am very glad that you are starting up a 2nd sports station in Buffalo. But please explain why Artie booboo blah, blah, blah not saying a gosh darn thing on your show / Ruben's show is news worthy? I just don't get it.

You are just a mean spirited right wing shill. Didn't the DA prove that the Duke lax players were behind the 9:11 plot?

Greatest. Thread. Ever. :huh: I've gotta stop posting on hockey nights.

Clearly Scarborough (sp?) is the token conservative on MSNBC (kind of like Holmes on FNC or Al Hunt used to be on WSJ). But what is your definition of "recently" describing their slant?

Yeah, you CAN, but why would you want to when they are just so darn tasty?

Liberals will go for Obama and Conservatives will go for McCain (especially w/ Palin on the ticket). The battle will be won in the middle and McCain has a history of being considered to be in the middle, as your comment attests. It'll be interesting to see if Obama can tack back to the middle in the debates. If he can't and/or if Obama locks like NY are in play (as stated earlier, I don't believe it is), Wacka is probably right about this being '88 redux. We'll know a lot more about how this will go after a couple of debates.

No, no, no. This is just another example of WHY tax rates MUST be made higher on "the rich". The rich ALWAYS cheat on their taxes (although on occassion it is accidentally of course, right Mr. Rangel?) so their nominal tax rates must be increased to keep their actual tax rates that they end up paying as being "fair". This is not about class warfare nor is it about partisanship. It is about an inherent fairness and equality of outcome that every American has a non-denominational creator's given right to. How could the media possibly be outraged in this matter? There is nothing to be outraged about. Chairman Rangel made an honest mistake, over and over and over again for several years. You can't really expect ANYONE to understand all the minutiae of tax law, especially not the guy who is actually writing it.
