  1. Brody is doing yeoman's work, people. Give the guy props.
  2. The only country that benefits from Trickle Up economics is China. Noted economist marvin, ladies & gentleman. He & Stephen Joseph will be signing books after the show. Also, fail.
  3. Fail.
  4. No, he's saying there couldn't have been a nonviolent uprising or some such against Hussein because Hussein had killed all of the potential Mandela/Gandhi/MLK Jr. types in Iraq, so the US had to invade. That's my read on it.
  5. Re: the white supremacist mass murder/assassination plot From the Smoking Gun: Something tells me this plot wouldn't have gotten very far even if the ATF hadn't gotten the drop on them before hand.
  6. Awesome new electoral strategy. McCain: If you vote for the Democrats, they'll be in power! Public: Um, okay.
  7. State Senator Clay Davis!
  8. Those are Mary Janes, and they're horrid. And Czech is wrong about Mounds.
  9. State and local governments actually control more funds than the federal government. They probably also have a greater impact on most people's lives as well. So I agree with snuffington.
  10. OMG, Obama's thugs got to the judge, Marv! Now we're going to have riots, guns confiscated, mandatory abortions, and a 99.73% marginal tax rate in all brackets!
  11. The Fairness Doctrine is right wing radio shibboleth and I would be shocked if I saw it raised by a Congress in the next session. Frankly, I don't really care, although I would prefer they focus on other things. I would also be shocked if Congress brought up any sort of gun control other than a ban on really destructive assault weapons or some kind of safety measures. I would eat platefuls of crow if an Obama administration pushed for heavy gun control, given that it has not even been on the radar in this campaign. In summation, I think the current threats to the Constitution right now are much more targeted toward the 4th Amendment and the rights of the accused amendments (and habeus) than to the 1st or 2nd.
  12. Snuffbox, you're worried about the government surveilling the phone calls of Americans citizens without warrants with the help of telecom companies who then can't be sued when BARACK HUSSEIN is going to STIFLE FREE SPEECH and TAKE AR GUNS?!?!
  13. I can't believe I'm voting for the same guy as Dobbs.
  14. Drudge got punk'd.
  15. Yowza. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/business...24panel.html?hp
  16. Marvin, that is one poll. What was the sample size? Confidence interval? Margin of error? What was the polling average for Ohio on 10/22/08 (which is what sites like Pollster, 538, & RCP are using)? But something tells me you've never taken a stats class. It was CNN's poll 4 years ago in Ohio vs CNN's poll in Ohio today. Great answer.

  18. Eliminating the tiny amount of competition that exists in the health insurance marketplace in favor of one government-run entity hardly sounds like a good idea to me. If you think prices suck now, just imagine what they'd be like with no competition -- it'd be like taxes, basically (far too high). But you see, matt, there are other countries that have this and that hasn't happened. The United States, which has the most market based health care entity in the industrialized world (with the possible exception of Australia--I'm not sure) spends the most on health care (13.9%% of GDP as opposed to, for example, 9.7% for Canada, 9.5% for France, 8.7% for Sweden, & 7.6% for Britian) . And what do we get in return for this massive spending? Substantially poorer health outcomes.
  19. FOX News & Rush Limbaugh may run stories about how horrible Canadian (or European) health care is, but notice how not even Conservative Party politicians in Canada will even *suggest* messing with the health care system there. Canadians recently voted the guy who introduced the health care system as THE GREATEST CANADIAN IN HISTORY. It's going to be difficult to convince me that Canada's system is very bad. I freakin' *wish* Obama was pushing for Canadian style health care, but, given the clout of the insurance industry here, it ain't happening.
  20. I think Edwin's mom is posting on his account.
