Big Ol' Smitty

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.

It seems likely that the person who painted that may: a. have been being ironic b. have not been an atheist, as you posited But frankly, who gives a shit.

I bet ya there's a whole bunch of women who will vote for whoever Oprah tells them to. Okay, you can bet me, but that isn't really actual evidence.

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!"

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."

Money quote:

Man I know but the shit is good. Anyway, it's not like the powdery crap in the Kraft box is somehow superior. Nor does it taste as good. I know pbone is a child of privilege, but I know some of my other TSM brethren of working class roots' moms totally used Velveeta cheese. I mean, now that I'm a gentrified yuppy elite, I don't eat it anymore. But I would.

Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle Singer & Mason, The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter. You may use this as a general Thanksgiving food related thread.

That would be Annie's. I think it's organic. Gimme Velveeta Shells N Cheese. Or better yet, the homemade shit.

Looks like Senator Tubes is going to lose after all. Hulk smash.
