I'm not following this discussion, but it is pretty interesting to see Obama blamed for the state of our economy... Isn't it? How's everyone enjoying their productivity gains?

Rush Limbaugh's fixation on the national testicles, I presume?

TSA screeners'll be all like, "Dude, where's your junk?"

In other words...

Oh, and you talking about human dignity is like Ted Bundy teaching a class on feminism. It's weak.

TAKE A LOOK AROUND, YOU DUMB CLUCK. IT DIDN'T WORK, REAGAN LOST. HAYEK LOST. GAME OVER. TIME TO PUT YOUR THINKING CAP BACK ON.

Whatever. Go tell it to the Irish.

Given the more or less permanent condition of "'roid rage" you display here, your balls (if they can still be described as such) must be the size of wasabi peas.

So do they pay sales tax at the register or not? Don't dick around with a rebate, "put money in people's pockets". As far as the rich paying taxes "on behalf" of the poor, Off had it right: the rich are the prime beneficiaries of the social arrangements that made them that way. They should be paying and more.

You probably couldn't due to all the steroids you've taken.

Coming from a teabagger, no less! Hilarious. Where's your Obamohitlersocioislamofascinazisatanworshipping sign?

Hans and Franz!

What is this, the Weimar German version of Amos and Andy?

If I have, then the Republicans sure have been obliging!

You two actually make me positively yearn for the apocalypse.

This turd is ungovernable.

Maybe trading (not "dumping") Felix would be seen as a waste to those who've put resources into developing him it certainly would to those who put together his recent contract. (Mariners fans can go shag fly balls on the Sounder tracks for all I care.) But we should see the remainder of Felix's contract as a time window. Is this team capable of competing for a championship in the next six years without trading him? Can you build a roster around one guy who can realistically only stop the bleeding 13 times in a season before he's up for another payday? The personnel has to come from somewhere, the farm, drafts, trades, or free agents. Who's on the farm, really? Free agents? Nobody's EVER been stoked to come here, they cost too damn much, and this team needs more than just a couple pieces. I'm not sure I trust the M's drafting, we've sucked for years and produced all of one ingrateful, bubblebutted KGJ. Wow? Felix's value might never be higher and the M's needs for building long-term have never been greater. We could get five or six top-level position playing prospects for this guy. That's worth a hell of a lot more than Felix Day! once a week to wash the taste of the rest of the week from your mouth.

Are you tardtarded? The $4.40 in sales tax paid by a "poor folk" for shoes at Walmart could feed their kid that night. The $110 sales tax on a used car is a week's worth of groceries or a quarter of a month's rent. The money is worth more when you don't have much of it. It's why sales taxes and flat taxes are considered "regressive". More gibberish. US corporations already enjoy ridiculously pro-business climate, tax-holidays, loopholes, financial offshoring, and subsidies of all sorts. Using "high taxes" as a billy-club to hold municipalities, states, and national governments hostage to skirt their financial responsibilities to the societies that sustain them is utter horseshit. If US corporations move to other countries to get out of paying taxes, they also move to take advantage of cheap marginal labor and nonexistent environmental and safety regulations. Should those be up for cuts as well?

Pay me.

"Tardtarded"

Why do they hate us?

Keep your chin up, it won't be as bad as adapting to global warming.

Hot stove, baby!

The Mariners should stop pretending they're anything other than what they are right now: the west coast version of the Kansas City Royals. The 2010 M's scored the fewest runs of any team since the DH was instituted in 1973 and had one of the worst offenses in the modern era. Is this team going to compete during the duration of Felix's contract? Is the team more likely to compete with a number of players or prospects we could get for him or by keeping him to pitch every five days and still only get 13 wins? We've been told the team is in rebuilding mode, rebuild.
