  1. Great Gatsby definitely comes to mind.
  2. "Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land." Mao 1957

    Toast

    A pallid imitation of the real thing Vegemite
  4. A goodly part of Silicon Valley is heading North (better than India).
  5. Not really my problem moving to Canada in January
  6. The fatal mistake was when Reid left the filibuster unchanged in Jan 09, too bad he was not punished.

    Dino Rossi

    He's on his side
  8. Here is the stomper with his mentor.
  9. He got a better gig at Fox for $2,000,000, don't cry for me Argentina.
  10. You could give away the big brewers swill and it would not affect the craft brewers, very different markets. People will still go to Georgetown for growlers of Mannys even if the shelves of mini marts are filled with Bilge Light.
  11. In the dems bill the rich still get a break on the first $250,000 they just do not get a break on the amount above which will be taxed at38% instead of 36% BFD.
  12. Real Republican Economics pretty similar to real Democratic economics, both just sustain the corporate interests who pay for their ads. Their public statements are different as are the Dems what really matters is how they act. Both parties SAY it will be different this time.
  13. Problem was every ® was against it no matter what the bill contained. So any Senator who wanted publicity, $$ or a special interest (antiabortion) could be a holdout and get major concessions. Obama made the mistake of thinking the opposition would be reasonable.
  14. How can you knock someone who built an empire out of selling lamp cord for big $$$ 8D
  15. Gotten a lot harder since Bill Buckley died.
  16. No point in rapping off unless you are an exhibitionist, rapping is not without danger especially when there is an easy route down.
  17. Doesn't know how to spell Galt, a natural tea bagger
  18. Just did Matterhorn a week ago, it is a nice walk up with a fantastic west wall. Interesting because it is mostly 200 million year old limestone. Completely melted out now.
  19. We were in the area (Alaska Basin top of The Wall) the day before when it was a bluebird day. High clouds moved in about 9pm. In the morning it was cloudy and cool. By 10am they had shut the lift at Grand Targee due to lightning. A boy scout troop had left the campground (Teton Canyon) around 6am intending to do the South Teton but changed to Table Mountain due to weather. There was lightning all the way back to Idaho Falls. RIP
  20. The top inventors at AMD are all Asians What Stossel says was true in the 1950-60s when the top income tax bracket was 95-72% and the work force was 40% unionized, what a maroon.

  22. We just came back from there full report there are still sluffs coming down occasionally but the snow is excellent for stepkicking and glissdeing. People are crossing snowshoes are not needed but could be handy above the pass.
