Big Ol' Smitty

I'll tell you one thing, Joe the Plumber's laying some pipe tonight.

This is great. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/10/matt_...n_york_but.html

Maybe not among the hottest, but I thought Hillary was pretty good looking when she went in back in 1992. HAWT

Way too many people on this CNN panel. They're going to have to start adding a staggered second row if they add any more pundits.

So, either Cindy or Michelle would pretty easily be up there with Jackie Kennedy among the hottest first ladies of all time, right?

Also, I'm thinking of pitching a Joe the Plumber sitcom.

Okay, he's just spamming now.

That's funny. I'm studying national security policy and I was reading about Filipino terrorist/militant groups and ran across MILF. No one else in class laughed, but I just couldn't help it.

oh dear fucking god The financial industry donated more money to Obama than McCain because they just wanted to be on his good side during the inevitable purges and collectivization.

Nailed it. Not so much for the republicans, who you just cycled through the three or four frontrunners, plus Gingrich. Quiet, you.

Nailed it.

So now the Marvster is an Obama birth certificate truther. The plot thickens... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/ar...ficate-part-ii/ http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=73214 (far right website)

Man, Nightwing has made a leftward swing.

Yeah the totally unlikeable millionaire Mormon would have owned this.

I was referring to when you lied about the Social Security shortfall, marv.

You've clearly established yourself in previous threads as an expert on our nation's entitlement crisis. Anyways, I thought McCain's closing was really good, but almost sounded like a concession speech. Otherwise, I thought he laid a big giant turd in the two hours leading up to it.

This conversation made me think of this map I like (I bet Czech will like it too, geography nerd). It shows US states labeled as countries with approximately equally sized economies.

Do you do DARPA stuff? You may know someone I know (not the person I already know that you know that I know). Anyway, I'm a graduate assistant and I work at the farmer's market once a week. The graduate assistantship gives me tuition waiver, stipend, and health insurance. The farmer's market work gives me some spending money plus free food. Otherwise it's just mooching off the wife for the 1.5-4 years it will take me to finish this stint in graduate school.
