  1. I'm not a big fan of the current welfare system. Having said that, do you think that if we had a perfect welfare system, that these people would somehow be model citizens?
  2. Shouldn't this have been a caption the photo thread instead? I keed, I keed... Nothing against Rubio, but it wasn't like he just happened to be in the right place at the right time, or came leaping out of a crowd of onlookers. I believe he was escorting her, and she was using him as support as she was walking and began to fall. He was already there helping her walk, not like he could have gotten away with a girlish scream and threw his hands in the air when she started to go down.
  3. The guy does more drinkin than crime fightin. Plus he hits on a chick in the bar in full superhero gear.
  4. Conan is hands down the best late night guy. Craig Ferguson is a close second. All others
  5. I liked the guy that said something to the effect of: Well, if guys like Batman, who have no special powers, can do this, why can't I? I saw it on HBO, but it may also be available through Netflix.
  6. Levitre is there just in case Wood goes down. As long as Wood holds up, Levitre won't be needed.
  7. Bills fans need some bulk Abilify prescriptions.
  8. Levitre is bringing some stiff competition to every position on the line.
  9. Perhaps Gailey is pulling another Marshawn this season with McKelvin? Talk him up in preseason, give him lots of playing time, and trade him by week 3. Maybe we can get a third for him?
  10. He definitely hasn't shown up yet tonight.
  11. Torbor seems to be having some issues tonight as well.
  12. Everyone keeps talking about McKelvin looking good in camp and practice. Am I crazy, or does that not carry over to games?
  13. Will the Bills be using Carrington at DE, or have they officially moved him to a rush LB position?
  14. So you're going to base your opinions of the Bills FO on whether or not the the Carolina Panthers can turn Cam Newton into a great football player? Because rumor has it the Bills really wanted to draft Newton. Isn't there a laundry list of more substantial things on which your opinion of the Bills FO could be based? You know, like things that are actually within their control.
  15. Just asking, thanks for the reply. I heard Santorum basically say this, and thought he had some decent ideas. #1 I agree with the principle, but people tend to want to make giant cuts all at once. I would be much more in favor of some gradual cuts and caps over a specified length of time to get us to the point we need to be. We didn't get in this situation in short time period, why do we think we can pull the plug on spending and get out immediately. I thought he had some decent thoughts on 2, 3, & 4 as well. At least they seemed like ideas that had some promise. #5 is a lot like #1. While good in principle, it's too politically driven to not invest in alternative energy. To me we need to be doing both. Utilize our own resources better while at the same time being innovative with alternative forms of energy.
  16. How has this thing made it 35+ pages, and we haven't had a comment from Crayonz about the Canadian side of this?
  17. An "unauthorized medication" doesn't sound like steroids or anything else illegal. It also doesn't mean anything banned by the NFL. Why would the border guards care about legal US substances that are banned by the NFL? I don't know what medical items are unauthorized to enter the US with, but even if true this could be a lot of hoopla about nothing. Or he could be a Quebecian drug mule.
  18. Out of curiosity what would you say to this economic plan? (this is not my plan just see some similarities between it and your ideas) 1) Reduce the size and scope of a government that is stifling job creation . This includes cutting government spending, capping future government spending, and enacted a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. 2) Create a tax structure that encourages innovative and entrepreneurship. Cut individual taxes, while slashing the corporate tax rate in half. For manufacturers, the corporate tax rate should be reduced to zero to keep jobs in America. Permanently extend current capital gains and dividend tax rates, repealing the death tax and repatriating taxable in come outside the United States at a rate of 5 percent to encourage job creation in America rather than abroad. The tax code should encourage innovation and research and development. 3) Remove regulatory burdens that hold back the nation’s economic engine. The nation’s regulatory structure is untenable. Immediately repeal the “regulatory alphabet soup”. Government agencies should stay within their intended framework. Streamline the patent process, reform the transparency of the Food and Drug Administration’s approval process, and limit the ability of federal agencies to expand laws through regulations. 4) Encourage global capital and credit markets. Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley. Repeal the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protect Act. 5) Tap America’s vast domestic energy resources to power the 21st Century economy. Put aside naïve ideas of creating “green jobs” and focus on an energy policy that utilizes oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy to power the economy. Eliminate the Obama administration’s roadblocks to oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, along the Outer Continental Shelf, and onshore, including the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. No new natural gas regulations, such as those being debated by Congress, should be enacted. States are regulating the natural gas industry and there is no reason for government involvement.
  19. Umm...the corn-dog picture was rather suggestive as to what she enjoys.
  20. Stating that you'll lower the cost of gas to under $2 isn't a gaffe. Stating that the S&P downgrade proved she was right about not raising the debt limit isn't a gaffe.
  21. The No Ones
  22. The Undraftables
  23. If you just push the US ecomony further into the shitter, US production will collapse, and Europe will totally bottom out. Also, the Chinese and Indians will use less oil because no one will be buying their stuff. Gas prices will drop drastically. See...she's a genius. I don't know which option is worse in 2012...Bachman or Obama.
