  1. American casualties in October are up to 98, the 4th worst month since the war began. Mission Accomplished, indeed.
  2. I did! Maybe he thinks I'm a Mexican.
  3. I dont get the inconsistency with the themes/Jesse either. Why was Jesse edited out of things like the WM6 match on the Dusty dvd, when it had already been released on other products with Jesse included?
  4. The fuck's going on in Madison?

    Boxing Thread

    The Mighty Mike Arnaoutis vs Ricardo Torres fight underneath Morales-PacMan 3 will now be for the vacant wbo 140lb belt.
  6. So, the ladder match dvd will be ignoring the pre-WM10 ladder matches with Bret Hart?
  7. That's awesome to see Wisconsin in a preseason top10.
  8. Dang, I must keep forgetting how America invaded Japan in the 40s to make them free. My intelligence is clearly overestimated. I'm going to go spend more of my 96% tax-cut windfall now.

    Iron Maiden

    Even jambase.com is giving the new Mastadon a good review/article. I want Mastadon at next year's Bonnaroo.
  10. Unbelievable.
  11. GOP MONEY TREE! TAX CUTS FOR SOME IS SAME AS FOR ALL! KILL EM ALL N LET FREEDOM SORT EM OUT!
  12. Do you collect a paycheck? Did you collect a paycheck in the 1990s? I dont think anybody is denying that the only tax cuts have gone to the wealthy, they just use the trickle-down(pissing on) reasoning for it. Or do you really believe the tax cuts were for everybody? Again, we go back to using talking-points as your reasoning. Wars (like in Iraq) are very expensive. Ive already tried explaining to Imvader how much a Great Wall will cost. Does money just appear out of the blue as long as we keep the GOP in control? Again, please give one example (out of many attempted) where a nation has accepted it's invaders? When has your belief in coerced freedom EVER worked? You did not give an example in your post. If its worth this much money, if its worth scarring a generation, if its worth having permanent bases built there...you should probably have at least a modicum of precedent on your side to override the laundry list of failures for this strategy.
  13. Again, closed border = higher taxes. The majority of Americans' taxes havent been going down under Bush, and this big spend will only drive them up even more. Or, we continue to go into debt to other nations. Or, we can keep doing the old LBJ trick of waging expensive war and letting all social issues at home falter away. But anyway...when was the last time 'coerced freedom' ("You guys are free to ignore our permanent military bases!") worked? Seriously, one example will do.
  14. I think the 'social' part of that lame quiz deals with some foreign-policy as well.
  15. You guys will do well with a Kinky governor. He will be Texas' new Coke Stevenson.

    NFL Week 8

    Nice to see a TSM NFL thread make it to page 2 before the games start.
  17. I like how Olberman (OMG ULTRA SOCIALIST ETC) keeps asking Limbaugh about Fox's Arlen Spector ad.
  18. Some of that Webb literature is pretty fucked up.

    My Chemical Romance

    I do now.
  20. Maybe he's an extremist BoDean. Instead of being closer to free, he's going all out. What happened to the Party Of Five joke?
  21. No shit. A man with a couple hundred mgs of Oxy up his nose can't feel pain.
  22. He's keeping a Marvin-esque distance and using both hands to cover his groin.
  23. I don't think that one can be beat.
  24. It also requires more than the results of an online quiz to determine your political philosophy. A libertarian wants free borders (illegal immigration loses far less jobs for Americans than outsourcing), less laws (none of this banning gambling by tucking stuff into appropriations bullshit, no more hugely expensive/largely worthless War on Drugs), and lower taxes for ALL Americans (which will never happen if we continue to waste money with such follies as the Iraq War & the Great Wall in Texas). So, your quiz results tell you that you are a libertarian...yet you support the invasion of countries, huge expenditures, a wall around the border for more cash spent, and wiretapping (infringing on the rights of Americans is not a popular idea amongst libertarians). Forcing another country to adopt the political philosophy of another is extremely authoritarian, your quiz results notwithstanding. At this point, the only area where the GOP compares to libertarians (the real conservatives) is on gun control. After going farther with the drug war than any other administration, adding laws like the gambling ban, starting wars, etc...todays Republican Party has no claim to the conservatism of Barry Goldwater.
