    Campaign 2008

    Glen Beck didn't tell Marvin anything about these so-called 'record profits' or supposed decades of the regulations being in place.

    How can you possibly drive from Glen Burnie into Baltimore, on a game night, on less than a gallon of gas?

    I'm pretty confident that rural/farm communities and small towns/villages didn't just recently pop up out of the blue. This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read in this folder.

    Christ, the Brewers got their asses handed to them all week. It must be the second half of the season or something.

    Manitoba Greyhound Bus Murder

    And I thought sitting next to smelly people on the bus was bad.

    Jerk: Accusing Obama of 'rather winning an election than a war' is about as dirty as it gets. So is blaming him for the biggest frustration currently plaguing the country, gas prices, when he's the one who's been in Washington since his halcyon days of Reagan. Subliminally attaching him to the likes of Britney & Paris is also very dirty stuff. Eric: Ass, or a hole in the ground?

    You can't be serious. The difference is between having troops there as a contingency while diplomacy goes on, and having troops there to kill and be killed as their only objective. Let's not fool ourselves, we really only do have 2 choices, but they are two VERY different choices. By changing the name to describe their presence, they will no longer be shot at/bombed? That's the kind of sheltered thinking that has WG Harding starting WW2 with his bare hands.

    The Cubs again proving they are, far and away, the best team in the NL.

    Remember when Obama flashed his labia folds to the world?

    Campaign 2008

    Question for John "decades in DC to do something about it" McCain after mindlessly saying that Obama is entirely to blame for $4-a-gallon gas: Is he inexperienced or does he run the whole goddam show in this country? Who would have guessed in 2000 that 8 years later McCain would be running one of the dirtiest campagns this side of LBJ?

    The settings are completely different. What works in Europe won't in the US. There are thousands of towns, populated in the dozens and hundreds, and farm regions, that connect to towns with populations in the few-to-tens-of thousands that house the factory(rarely -ies anymore), the shops, and a Walmart. Can we connect all of these small rural environs with trains? Nope. Can they walk the several miles? Nope. Do they need to drive? Yep.

    I don't vote for the letter next to a name. That usually ends up with things like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush Jr. If candidates want votes, they should earn them. Why is Bush evil for domestic spying, but it's fine if Obama does it? Why is McCain bad for wanting to prolong the Iraq war when Obama apparently wants to keep a 'residual force' of upwards of 60,000 there indefinitly? Keep voting for those letters. You'll never get what you want.

    Pretty good mass transit over there, too.

    The Cubs are definitly the worst team in the history of organized sport.

    How much did Beck tell you your 'massive tax hike' will amount to?

    Campaign 2008

    Do they have a series of tubes in jail? Too bad the GOP's presidential candidate can't bring himself to rule out a payroll tax hike. What do working/middle-class people need money for anyway, they wouldn't know what to do with it.

    Ricky Weeks can't settle for just being a .200 lead-off hitter, he has to throw away important double plays as well. 0-162!

    Has the front office completely forgotten how awful the running game was at the start of last season? Fucking dumb.

    You're supporting a federally subsidized industry. Not a free market or even close to it. Sorry.

    I feel like I just read something Marvin Beck would write/say.

    Campaign 2008

    Am I understanding you, Danville, you don't think letting the oil companies (already federally subsidized to begin with) call the shots has something to do with the price we have to pay for gas? They have a huge market, with constant heavy demand, completely cornered: why the fuck would they LOWER prices? The record profits should kinda be telling people something.

    I don't say this often but he deserves a better contract. He's a starting back, not a practice squad guy anymore.
