    is it ironic...

    ...that on the day the cruel persians let loose their prisoners we practice justice by killing a man who might well be innocent?

    Tax the rich

    bear in mind that, per colonel kurtz's instructions, i really try not to judge - i've no need to demonize the wealthy, whoever the masters of semantics ultimately decide that defines - rich, poor, in the middle, so long as the relationship remains a symbiotic one there's not much to argue over more than nuts n' bolts - in the end it's hard not to go w/ your gut though, and it doesn't strike me as class warfare on the well-to-do's to wanna squeeze them a trifle at the present time
  3. have faith doood, and come next weekend if need be

    Tax the rich

    i'll stay away from The Google to give you the satisfaction of telling me i'm running on the assumption that, regardless of the party in power, the various imps and demons that control the bells n' whistles of the economy will be doing so in order to serve the wealthy - the fed head seems to be the coke-slut that climbs into bed w/ whoever has the blow, for example
  5. an inspiraton to never run again, since i will clearly always be in the "slackers" division?

    Tax the rich

    but weren't the same guys who said cutting taxes would create jobs also sayign that super low interest rates were good, that it would end the recession before that and keep everybody buying shit and thereby keep everybody employed?

    Tax the rich

    Thank god the "Smoke Crack and Worship Satan" autosig is back. 1. How did the tax breaks wreck the economy, in your opinion? 2. What qualifies as rich? 3. What percentage of the total tax burden should the rich bear relative to their income and the total tax burden? Useful data: http://www.cbo.gov/publications/collections/tax/2010/graphics.cfm the basic question goes unanswered: if tax cuts lead to job creation, why did unemployment go in the crapper and stay there for 3 years despite no real change in taxes? i'm hardly an economic historian, but it seems like big tax cuts did go hand-in-hand with an orgy of real-estate speculation which did eventual resulted in the meltdown of '08 that still hasn't worked itself out today.

  15. dude, how much penn and teller have you watched? might as well say "hendrix wasn't a very good guitar player"... sure, might not be your cup o'tea, but his creative "magic" tricks and devotion to comic rationalism and science are unimpeachable if god does exist, you have no need to worry, i'm sure penn will be sharing a cell w/ carlin, voltaire, adams, etc (which come to think of it, doesn't sound like much of a punishment at all )
  16. sums it up for me...
  17. think penn's like 8 1/2 feet tall and weighs more than a small pony, so he's sure got room for more love fo'shizzle
