With my 30 cent discount I can get gas for less than $3 ($2.99). Yay or whatever.

I cant wait for the Manny Series (Boston vs LA). TB got lucky catching the White Sox after they had to play the extra games but Boston will beat them back down where they still dont belong. It might be the first year in quite a long time that I dont watch 1 game of the WS, I dont think I will be able to take it.

Id like to throw out that Im about (---) close to going back to voting for Bob Barr after Mr. "Anti-Pork!" voted for enough pork to feed a small country in voting yes on the Financial Bill in the senate, in what has to be considered a Democratic set up from the get go (keep bill from passing first in the house so the Senate has to add a ton of stuff to the bill knowing McCain would vote yes for it). I cannot for the fricking life of me believe he voted yes to a bill with tax incentives and cuts for such wonderful important economic issues as Wool Research, Wooden Arrows and Racetracks. He would refuse to vote for a military spending bill on the basis that it had a troop withdraw timeline attached and yet he'd vote for this crap?

McCain: Instead of emergency room, go to Wal-Mart
MarvinisaLunatic replied to CuddlyKnife's topic in Current Events
Which would probably lead to a shortage of doctors in a decade or so. The financial incentive to become a doctor is very strong, and taking that away would result in a lot of people jumping ship on the medical program. Not to mention we already have a shortage of nurses as it is. There have to be a million other options to improve healthcare ahead of going to to Government Run Universal Healthcare. -
I dont see the VP debate as the chance to talk about the Presidential Candidates, they have almost 5 hours of debates to talk about themselves. These two needed to put out more of a message about themselves and not just repeat 90% of what you heard last friday and what you will hear in the next 2 debates.

Late round flier on Shaq as a 2nd Center was appealing, especially considering the remaining Centers available.

What do the makers of Wooden Arrows, Wool products, Rum as well as Television companies and Racetracks have in common? They all got tax breaks in the Senate version of the financial markets bill I hope they realize that by making wooden toy arrows cheaper, they run the risk of little johhny shooting someone's eye out. -
uh..

I havent really heard anything about this on the news, but you just know if it was the other way around (dad and a little girl) that they'd be running the story on the news for the next week.

I also don't understand the "Gamecube Masterpiece Series" Gamecube games can be had for really cheap and can be played on the current console...so adding waggling controls and putting it in a white case makes it worth $50? NOT. Pikimin is the first game but you have rumors that the next "new" Zelda game will just be a Wind Waker Wagglefest. No thanks Punch Out looks pretty damn awesome though. And a spring 2009 update will allow loading directly from SD cards as a storage solution. Sadly its limited to 2GB but you can get 2 GB cards now for like..$5 a piece.

I dont know what to think about the HD console rumor.

The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis
MarvinisaLunatic replied to Cheech Tremendous's topic in Current Events
I like how the Senate has added 150 billion dollars in tax cuts to the bill. Why not go for 300 billion in tax cuts and make the whole thing an even Trillion? -
Donald Trump supposedly said that he thinks that if we dont do anything about the financial crisis that the price of oil will collapse.

The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis
MarvinisaLunatic replied to Cheech Tremendous's topic in Current Events
The Capital Gains tax keeps some people from investing their money in the stock market and in real estate knowing if they turn a profit on their investment they would have to pay the tax (long term is 15%, less than that is your income tax rate) . More money invested into both of these areas would equal more liquidity which is a major problem with both areas right now. The fact is, I dont believe that a short term elimination in the Capital Gains tax would work because people aren't stupid into believing that the elimination of the tax would last very long considering Obama has said numerous times during his campaign that he wants to increase the long term Capital Gains tax from 15% to 28% unless there was some sort of provision saying if you buy now you wont be taxed even if the capital gains tax comes back and goes up, which I dont see in the proposals. This is precisely why people are flocking towards treasury bonds right now instead of stocks and real estate even though the rate of return on the treasury bond is less than the rate of inflation. -
The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis
MarvinisaLunatic replied to Cheech Tremendous's topic in Current Events
This has nothing to do with the family side of credit and all to do with the business side of credit in which major companies require frequent loans or "revolving credit" to have money for daily operating expenses. IF banks freeze their money and make no credit available to these companies, then those companies will be forced to shut down and cease operating until as such time as they can acquire money from the banks to operate again. Now just imagine if you work for a company that has to shut down due to the banks freezing their money..guess what..you wont have any money either, and if you do have money in the bank, your first instinct will probably be to go get it out so you can maybe scrape by while you're out of work, but that only exacerbates the problem by creating a run on banks. And I've heard that as soon as the end of October, if some sort of solution isn't worked out for the problem that the banks may be forced to freeze their money. -
McCain: Instead of emergency room, go to Wal-Mart
MarvinisaLunatic replied to CuddlyKnife's topic in Current Events
The initial point that Emergency rooms are the most expensive form of healthcare available is 100% true. Most of the people who go to emergency rooms could be treated at these places for a much lower cost. All the talk about cheaper affordable healthcare and we're laughing at this like its crazy old man McCain who doesn't know what he's talking about. I assume he does mean Walgreens, but to be honest Id rather have Wal Mart doing this kinda stuff than the Government. -
Oh my god, what an incredibly stupid thing to get all angry about. Hell, I bet if she did name them, you wouldn't probably know them anyway and call her for making up names or something.

Steelers got a td (aided by a 15 yard penalty for a late hit ob) and then like the next play Flacco fumbled and they took it in for a TD.
