PIIGS = Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain. The governments done in with debt as are private households and once again everyone's leaving Ireland to find work. Just because they are ideologically appealing to you with low taxes and crap services doesn't mean they are actually healthy. As a household debt to disposable income ratio of 190% would show. Should have read "rest of the PIIGS" The key difference between Ireland and the rest is that their debt ratio exploded as a result of a stupid decision to bail out their banks with the national treasury, not because of long term structural deficits. In one case, you wipe out the one-off debts and there's no gap between taxes and expenditures to worry about. In the other case the gap between taxes and expenditures opens up again immediately after the old debt is wiped out, and keeps growing indefinitely. The solution is simple Jay: tax the richest 500 Greeks fairly! quod erat demonstrandum

Yes. I'm making it all up. When the yields on the bonds that Greece is trying to sell spike, it's because I am speculating about their fiscal situation on the internet. If you were really smart you'd catch references to the Big Lebowski, laugh, and be cool. But you are just talking out of your ass obviously, and don't know anything.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SO YOU MUST NOT EITHER! HI KEVBONE, LET'S BE FRIENDS!

Let's barter, bishes!

Make her listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd as punishment!

Still waiting for that caffeine IV quit being codependent...you can do it yourself. i'm sure there's a starbucks close by. I'm too tired to go get it. It's a vicious cycle!

Still waiting for that caffeine IV

This is what people say...(ie attack the person, not the idea) when they are too stupid to come up with a rational argument and too proud to admit that they themselves are full of shit. LOL Amazingly Jay keeps trying and is always civil, while the content-free fucktard-spew keeps flowing: "you are dumb", "you are full of shit". Wow! Convincing!

must... resist... hitting lobbed ball....

did you hook up with this hottie? did 'it' smell?

YES! AND THAT IS WHY YOU MUST INCORPORATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ANTI-OXIDANTS INTO YOUR DIET - PREFERABLY FREE-RANGE, ORGANIC, NON-MONSANTO-TAMPERED ONES!

Hope he paid his $10 fee for that!

I bet he was a Republican! Fucker should have signed that pledge!

For "our parents" - give me a break, gramps. Driving around in a tank, looking like a total douche out of water doesn't help much either. Here's lookin' at you! Holy crap... I didn't know Mike D was a Mountie. I bet he has shorts over polypro too.

and you'd be an expert in social engineering - bread and butter for your political persuasion!

You rebel! Everyone parking at Mt Si should do the same!

Cool, it didn't take long for the latest racist meme from the Karl Rove and his Skinnerboxians to make it's way to cc. I bet I could sell Karl a performance-based compensation system that monitors the spread of his memes from inception to blogs and forums and he would get paid by both the speed and breadth of penetration. 1 pt for using "meme" but you blew the opportunity to include "narrative". Shame on you for dropping the ball on libtard lexicon-usage comprehensiveness!

Did you know that under slavery (which was a regrettable institution) more black children lived in 2-parent homes than today when we have an African American president? TRUE STORY!! How is that relevant to anything? Answer 1: "Exactly!" Answer 2: "Ummm can you click and read?" Answer 3: "STFU, boner"

They "excite" the base, don't you know?

Nicely done! FWIW I climbed the CD dog route 7 years ago at the same time of year and we had horizontal snow about 9000 feet and temps in the teens. Good times in the PNW!
