The so called "Economic Stimulus package"
PastaJoe replied to erynthered's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
In case you didn't notice, it's actually the Sabres logo modified for the Bills. -

How about the medical personnel needed to provide services paid for by medicaid, or the workers who will do the weatherizing and the companies that produce the weatherizing materials, and the workers who provide childcare which allows parents to go to work at such jobs as rebuilding the infrastructure. -
Volcanos erupt because of too much pressure, but once that pressure is relieved by an eruption, it levels off again, so the remaining magma would remain within the Earth. But if they all erupted, the Earth would likely get blanketed with ash in the atmosphere, which could cause nuclear winter type effects by blocking out the sun for a period of time, and then of course all that ash would eventually fall back to the ground.

So you were being literal. I thought Sarah Palin had got a new nickname.

The difference between Ivy League and state university graduates is the size of their parent's checkbook. Talk about Pay to Play, donations to colleges can buy alot of good will for legacy students.

"If you somehow take that bonus out of the economy, it really will create unemployment," he said on CNN's "American Morning." "It means less spending in restaurants, less spending in department stores, so everything has an impact." "Those bonuses, if they are reversed, are going to cause unemployment in New York," the self-described fiscal conservative said. "I remember when I was mayor, one of the ways in which you determine New York City's budget, tax revenue is Wall Street bonuses. "Wall Street has $1 billion, $2 billion in bonuses, the city had a deficit. Wall Street has $15 billion to $20 billion, New York City had a $2 billion, $3 billion surplus, and it's because that money gets spent. That money goes directly into the economy. First of all, it gets taxed as income. Secondly, it gets taxes again when somebody buys something with it." http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/30/giu...uses/index.html You freaking moron, these financial institutions want to be bailed out by our tax dollars, and then still want to give executive bonuses while laying off workers. And you think that bonuses result in the city's fiscal strength. You're telling me that if they don't get their bonuses, the executives are going to start brown bagging it for lunch? How about using that bonus money to avoid laying off workers or paying off the bad debt accumulated by the executive's decisions.

Unemployment is getting worse

And where will the public works get the needed material, machinery, and supplies for their projects; from the private sector. -
what would you do?

This isn't Abu Garaib, local police don't get their orders from the White House. -

Start taking a cab, and be thankful that you have cops that are making sure the area is safe from johns and druggies. -
HILLARY CLINTON, Barack Obama’s defeated opponent in the Democratic primary, has infuriated his supporters by praising Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, for her performance in last week’s television debate. “It is amazing, you know, she’s been thrust in the spotlight with very little national preparation and I think, all things considered, you saw a very composed and effective debater,” Clinton said. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle4882414.ece

Of course all right-wing women applauded Hillary's and Pelosi's rise to powerful positions.

Movie or Television Series endings that sucked....

Or he should have gone through with stabbing Junior, gone to jail, and Tony had to live with the knowledge that he was turned into some prisoner's girlfriend. -
One of the best episodes of The Simpsons was when Homer ate blowfish and thought he only had a day to live.

Trickle up economics
PastaJoe replied to Cheeseburger_in_paradise's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Tax cuts aren't going to put more money into the economy when people are afraid of losing their jobs. They'll just save it for when they really need it, or use it to keep up on existing debt payments. George Will said that for years people have been spending beyond their means, and now when the economy needs them to spend, they've become fiscally responsible to the point that it's hurting the economy. -

I always thought that it was intentionally left open ended to leave the possiblity of a movie in the future. It seemed too obvious that they wanted it to look like a hit at the end, but we are left guessing. -
Murtha: OK to send Gitmo prisoners to Pennsylvania.
PastaJoe replied to erynthered's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Cowards. Send them to New York State. Hell, build a prison near my neighborhood, we could use the jobs. This belief that somehow they would be dangerous because they're in a prison in the U.S. is just cheap theatrics. They would be more closely scrutinized than most of the prisoners in the country. -
I would say she's more like Palin Plus; the family and personality like Palin, but the brains to go with it. I think it was a good pick, a moderate from outside of NYC that should get some Republican and Independent votes. She seems to be more conservative than Rudi Guiliani, who is a potential opponent.

Just got back from seeing Lisa Lampanelli...

Lisa's the best, like a dirty Don Rickles. She has an hour performance on Comedy Central Sat. night at 11pm. -

All the people who are complaining about Gitmo being closed. -
George Mitchell, the architect of the Northern Ireland peace agreements, has been appointed as special envoy to the Middle East to reengage diplomatic efforts there. And Richard Holbrooke, the broker of the Dayton Peace Accords that ended the conflict in Bosnia, will be special envoy to the Afganistan/Pakistan region. It sends a strong signal to the world that the U.S. will once again use diplomacy, and not just military, to resolve major conflicts.

They probably get better treatment at Gitmo than they would at Attica. What's the big deal where they're imprisoned, the fact remains that they're imprisoned. I'm sure they'll be under greater than normal scrutiny wherever they are. -
Superhero movies get no respect. How about a nomination for The Dark Knight or Iron Man.

She probably was told by Patterson as a courtesy that she wasn't going to get it, so she could drop out beforehand to save face. If it's not Cuomo, I'd bet on Rep. Steve Israel.

Did anyone catch Rex Ryan's Press Conference?
PastaJoe replied to Heels20X6's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think by sack record, he was referring to how many times he could get fired by a team and rehired by another. -
Stop talking about players you think the Bills should take. They always go for some guy that wasn't talked about until right before the draft. You're going to jinx the possibilites.
