I haven't heard a good "The economy is in such bad shape that Bush will use some powers he signed into law secretly himself to stay in office for the good of the country" rumor yet. I thought that would be running wild about now.

To be fair in the OkSt game, it should be 16-10, but there have been 3 missed FGs, 2 of which were short kicks that definitely should have been made, 1 by each team. Just as I type that OkSt with a 70 yard TD run to make it 13-10..er..maybe not.

I honestly at this point actually hope that Obama wins, cause if he loses Im willing to bet the whole country will be nothing but looting and riots. Maybe McCain should do his part to prevent that and quit now so Obama can win before he loses.

How the hell do you give up 7 fucking touchdowns in 1 quarter? How is your leading rusher the QB with -20+ yards?

I already won! WHOO!

OSU TD on a really nice fake by the QB to run ball in for 6. I got them at +14 1/2 too, I might win a small sum of money tonight. YAY

post went here.. So, you going to make up any more bullshit? source on Acorn Housing Association AHC Is that bullshit enough?

They aren't working for Obama (well, they are, like as in trying to get him elected, but they don't work FOR HIM per say), but he donated money to one of their affiliates during his primary campaign. Marvin can show you some alternate takes on this. Of course most of those are scrawled on walls with shit...but still. Obama worked with ACORN as early as 1992 and was a leadership trainer for the members in Chicago on the advice of a Madeline Talbott (another really nice person Obama has ties to) which was part of his dubious "Community Organizer" role, ultimately gaining the endorsement of ACORN in every election he's run in since. Obama served on the board for the Woods Fund of Chicago from 1993-2001 which doled out grant money to ACORN. Obama was ACORN's attorney in the Civil Suit case of ACORN vs Edgar, the Republican Governor of Illionois at the time (1993), which forced Illinois to implement the federal Motor Voter legislation that makes it easier for the poor and minorities to register to vote. He did donate $800,000 to an offshoot group of ACORN this year. Seems to me, the question isn't "Is ACORN working for Obama?", its "Is Obama still working for ACORN?" But shouldn't the fact that the people who were WRONGLY submitting fake voter registration forms are being caught imply that actual voter fraud (not just fraudulent registration) is less likely to happen? I think what we're seeing here is the building-in of an excuse if McCain looses, and to keep the Republican base fired up with anti-Obama stuff. The voter fraud issue will ultimately be a non issue because theres 3 weeks time for them to clear out all the fake registrations but you are still left with a government/taxpayer funded organization who through the wonders of demographics seems to be biased towards registering only people who will more than likely vote for Obama over McCain. I have no problem with partisan groups that aren't government funded trying to register people who would tend to fall in line with that party's views, but ACORN is funded by taxpayer money and as such it should be held to higher standards of being bipartisan in its efforts to register voters of all parties.

Im leaning towards at least decades because who is to say that at some point in the future something wont happen to cause the Government to want to divest itself from the banks? But I have a hard time seeing the "this is only short term" viewpoint considering I dont even see the economic problems as being short term, and even then it doesn't mean that as soon as the economy shows signs of recovering that the Government will sell back what it bought. Consider the fact that programs from the New Deal some 70 years ago durring the Great Depression such as the FDIC, The Federal Housing Authority, the Tennesee Valley Authority, Social Security and even Fannie Mae (how nice) are still around today and have continually had their powers increased over what they originally were when implemented during the Great Depression.

And just as we were actually having an intelligent discussion, stupidity broke down the door with this random interjection. While she may have been able to fire him, the possible conflict-of-interest involved was deemed a part of the firing, which made it unethical. Also, the fact that she allowed her husband to use her power to attempt to get that State Trooper fired, as shitty as he was, is a ridiculous abuse of power and (Due to their relationship) a huge conflict of interest (Again). But I think those sorts of concepts fly over your head, since you can't put them into a simple one-sentence statement. BUT..if its abuse of power, then wouldn't she be guilty of breaking the law, or are there no laws against abuse of power in Alaska? They said she abused her power but broke no laws. Thats what I dont understand.

Every team makes the playoffs! YAY! I forgot about it myself, but I see now that I got Ovechkin! WHOO!

I dont know how to feel about "Palin abused her power but broke no laws regarding the firing scandal" when she had the right as Governor to fire them. wouldnt abusing one's power be breaking the law?

The Democratic Socialists of America supported his State Senate run in 1996 and he made a speech at a Chicago DSA meeting. but hey, that was like..12 years ago.

You can't deny the Socialist blog on his website even if its not got any posts. and meanwhile BREAKING NEWS Government is buying into banks using money from the bailout bill...

Apparently Nancy Pelosi thinks we need another $150 billion worth of checks sent out to everyone, and that'll fix the economy! Lets just create 100 gazillion dollars and send everyone a Billion Dollar check. "Here, you're now a billionaire..congratulations!" think of what that would do for the morale of the American people! Too bad a loaf of bread would cost like..1 million dollars but hey, you could buy 1,000 loaves!

<raises eyebrow> So you are admitting that socialists and the Democratic Party are, indeed, threats to America? Thank you. No, but are you admitting that the socilaists and the Democratic Party aren't one and the same? Thank YOU. Socialist Party Blog on Barack Obama's offical website too bad theres no posts While Im at it.. Obama and the Socialist Party of the USA - same ideas using different words

Why am I the only one who thinks Oklahoma St can win? The game is gonna probably end up with over 100 total points scored, no defense. Upset special! Put the money down in Vegas and when you win, make sure to give me a cut of the winnings..thanks. Im gonna put money on them tomorrow via Betus.com, it seems crazy. OSU is +14 and the O/U is only 78. 78! OVER!

Im the only one that picked Oklahoma State? wow

Where's Ricky Ortiz? *ducks*

There have been volunteers of ACORN who have plead guilty and gone to jail for committing voter fraud. And its not just one or two random rogue volunteers either, so it seems like an issue they have. If they aren't encouraging it, they at least aren't doing much to stop it from happening. But hey, its low income discrimination to say ACORN is committing voter fraud. Please, Mr. Hardy boy, how did you break the case in the "Mystery of the Bad Nut", when so many others apparently haven't? What's your proof? Rotten Acorn Im sure theres more.

Washington Post that sounds like a situation ripe for fraud and abuse...

Just today the democrats (I dont know who specifically, look it up) put up a bill that would take away the #1 reason most people put money into 401ks, the fact that its a pretax contribution. No more of that, now that your 401k is worthless, they're gonna tax it so its worth even less. I've been looking for 5 minutes and can't find anything on this, Marv. Whaddaya got? linky link They want you to ditch your 401k for a government bond backed nationalized retirement plan. Most people probably will if they have to pay taxes on their total income before their contribution is deducted, which is a huge advantage of 401ks.

I rest my case. did you read the link? The decision of the feds to buy into smaller banks is imminent. Its going happen, not a question of if but when.

Life on Mars in HD is wierd. But its awesome so far.
