was ayn at least hot? i feel like maybe i need to look into this more

i've had some partners ditch me as soon as i struck up a conversation about my love for huey lewis...

buddhism seems a much cooler religion than the other big ones, but there's still been plenty of asshole buddhists over the years (and i'm noting even holding them accountable for jack keroac)

this is, of course, why layton, like alastair crowley before him, has carried a gun in the alpine for "partner emergencies"

i believe the talking heads covered that one....same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was [video:youtube] not much of a choice: corporate assholes who hate fags or who don't? or the 3rd "party" who ain't so corporate, but batshit crazy? fwiw, i'm not certain that all bailouts are bullshit mind you, especially if the gov gets its nut back. is there a perfect world? are there perfect solutions? fuck knows.

Which is total bullshit. And it's what happens in the public sector all the time. And it's only "last you looked" because you ignore it when it occurs in the public sector, because you agree with this policy of funding at all cost (raise taxes!) so....the question implied then is, why do people who are so anti-tax seem so eager to bail out their private buddies w/ the public funds? shit, at least the tax n' spend folks are, ya know, actually taxing before they spend...

boehner could never kidnap a wee gal - he'd drown in his own tears at the very thought of it...

jimmy stewart would never lose my money!!!

how many of fdr's programs got axed? how much more legs does no child left behind got left in it? the national bank of the 19th century i already mentioned. there are plenty of programs that come and go. name the ones that are aroudn that you think should go and you'll find more people in support of them then not.

no, as the current moment shows, the political process can kill government programs, should it gather enough numbers. seems to recall endless lectures on the dreary subject of jackson killing the national banks back in the 19th century, as an example...

enough to have a fighting chance on any multiple choice quiz on the content that you might want to sling my way

It is spelled different. you been googling yerself? that shit'll make you go blind!

more like adam smith? seems like free trade is one of those things that you can fuck you just as well as fix you - seems like in the old days governments played whichever card worked best for them at the time, with mixed results - seems like half-assed and half-best is the best folks can hope for?

that suuuure don't leave much obviously the private sector can provide education, security, transportation, healthcare, pensions, libraries, anything really, but it's not like they have a superb record at providing those services, especially when they can (and always will, when the conditions are right) twist the rules to benefit themselves.

your choice is the zombie-apocalypse antivirus or a shaolin spade through the neck, make a choice!

lebowski? isn't that your name dood?

"no king but jesus" really sets the scene for this hoe-down

1. jobs are created when a demand exists for a service or a good and someone steps up to meet (or even create) that demand 2. i don't see that lowering taxes moderately destroys jobs, nor that raising them moderately does so either - at some point it makes sense that the risk of losing an investment in a business outweighs the likely actual profit from a successful payout, which clearly taxes eat into - but at some point, a failure for the government to provide services (basic ones like maintaining roads and bridges but also complex ones like banking and securities regulation) also endangers the success of an enterprise, too, right? like: you can't get the goods to market b/c the bridge fell into the river or you can't sell the house you built b/c banks played crazy fucking games w/ the cash while the g-man was greasing his pole in the men's room so now nobody can borrow money to pay you so now you gotta lay off all the carpenters on your crew. so, in theory, low taxes could fuck jobs, right? especially when the political system is simultaneously pushed to not provide the service the taxes were there for in the first place?

good lord, do you ever stop to actually climb any of these magnificent peaks you go blazing by?

why do we do this, cg and i? every night vegetables, minds numbed by thc i've got my pen, cg the remote laurel and hardy's the best on a friday no dreads about the working days after though funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed they don't mean so much, 'cept you get to hang out w/ yer working friends

no, it's primus that sucks!

you might get folks to begrudge you something kev - who wants to volunteer which gop candidate is WORSE than big P? seems like most of them for me, but then i don't spend that much time reading the bios of motherfuckers

how is sport climbing like having your cock sucked by a man?

what was wrong with bush's brain?
