Big Ol' Smitty

Funny.

Yo.

We're beginning to approach food man levels here.

Don't get it.

They should just pay them nothing...that would really cut costs!

Touche.

Marvin, the unions actually had better, more lucrative contracts back in the decades when the Big 3 were successful. But I'm sure that won't stop Glenn Beck from blaming their crappy management on the workers.

I left high school teaching because the job was intellectually stultifying and I really don't like the direction public education is going in. I also feel like the profession is given little to no respect from most quarters these days--students, parents, administrators, and in terms of pay. I also found that your bosses, the administrators, tended to be people who weren't very good at teaching, so they left the classroom to do admin. Also, I would just make really really really sure that it is the right fit. If you don't have the right personality for it and if you don't truly enjoy it, you will be that miserable burnt-out teacher that we all hated.

Oh shit. The Elie Wiesel pic.

Obama hasn't proposed raising the tax rates on the rich by anywhere near 35+ percent, a la Hoover. Hoover also raised taxes in all brackets, whereas Obama's plan would cut taxes for the majority.

I'm 25; grad student working on my second master's; married; super healthy. I'll probably kill over sometime next week.

Matzo, you seriously think that many people vote based on what some celebrity thinks? panthermatt, the plural of anecodote is not data.

That wolf shirt looks like something my brother would wear.

Prepare yourself for what is, perhaps, the greatest picture ever:

Elitist.

That'll teach him not to dog Velveeta "cheese!"

Just going to post links to these two pics because they're really big: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jy741KK11gU/SReC.../ObamaGifts.JPG http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jy741KK11gU/SReC...ain%20Gifts.JPG

A current events or No Holds Barred forum on the other hand--totally acceptable.

Don't listen to them, pbone. Reach for the sky. Grab a comet and kiss the moon! Kiss it!

I gotta agree with the above sentiment. I guess this was probably my favorite episode of this season so far. By the way, did anybody watch the deleted scenes from the episode where Michael, Holly, & Darryl were in the truck? Had an awesome Darryl moment with "cow surfing."
