  1. From Cain's campaign site: "I was not surprised that I was viciously attacked once I rose in the polls. I was surprised by the nature of the attacks. Me, a womanizer? I would never have thought they’d come up with that one. But I knew the establishment would not like the idea of my success, because I will not get along by going along like so many do.... .... The process by which we choose our nation’s leader is ridiculous. There is little focus on policy substance and even less on candidates’ governing skills.... ....All I need to do now is advocate for solutions that work, under the auspices of TheCainSolutions.com, and that will have two essential elements. One is to better educate the American people about the nature of the problems we face. There is still too little understanding of the severity of our debt and fiscal crisis. That is why members of Congress lack the political will to solve the problem. They perceive that they will pay a steeper price for taking action than they will pay for doing nothing. That is no excuse for such poor leadership, but the fact remains that if we can change the political dynamic – so that the people are demanding action rather than rewarding inaction – we will be able to change the results. The second element is to advocate for solutions that actually work. I was amused by the criticism I received for frequently mentioning my 9-9-9 tax reform, particularly by those who referred to it as a “catch phrase” and so forth, clearly demonstrating that they didn’t grasp what it’s all about. The 9-9-9 plan is the biggest transfer of power from government back to the people since the beginning of this nation. That’s what they are afraid of."
  2. Voyager nearing interstellar space
  3. I do it all the time. Yamamoto even died in a cool way: shot down by a P 38.
  4. Yamamoto did enjoy his night life, but abstained from strong drink. Very interesting cat.
  5. The opposition is pandering votes from Kristians. They don't really believe anything, other than 'what do I say next to get more votes'. Cynical, sad, and the sign of a broken party on the wrong side of history, but there you have it.
  6. We give away billions in aid to these nations...I'm perfectly OK with having strings attached.
  7. Apparently Admiral Yamamoto, architect of the attack, was a fan of gambling and geisha. The latter called him "80 sen", because he insisted on a 20% discount for manicures, having lost two fingers in the previous war with Russia.
  8. True dat, but most reform begins in a hypocritical environment, if you think about it. The Obama admin. has fallen short on a number of things, but they've done very well re: gay rights. End of DADT, withdrawing legal defense of DOMA, and now this. As much as conservatives (Rick Perry, for ex.) may frame this as a 'special rights for gays' issue, the US should can and should discourage countries like Cameroon and Uganda from executing people just for being gay, using foreign aid as an incentive.

    Bravo!

    US to champion gay rights abroad Every once in a while, an administration does something right.
  10. If you decide to blow your computer up, can I film it?
  11. Uninstall and re-install Chrome.
  12. Remember the days of professionalism, when people actually trained for the job? Roosevelt: Fixed the Depression and won WWII Eisenhower: Beat the Germans Kennedy, Nixon, Johnson, Truman, Obama: Former Senators Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush: Former Governors Cain: Ran Godfather's Pizza and the National Restaurant Association.
  13. Option: Restore your system back to a last restore point before the screwiness began. Google for how with your OS. Chrome is where you wanna be if you're worried about security, slow speed, and screen clutter. I'd give that another shot.
  14. Cain divorce announcement date?
  15. I've been Thomasized.
  16. Thanks all. I'll check these out.
  17. This seems to be a typical "cut the Celebrity down to size" whine. Some bitchy chick tries to sum up a guy she doesn't know, who happens to be well known for something, as 'non bowl washer' on a public forum. Damning!
  18. Bottom line here? She shoulda washed the bowl and STFU about it. Jeez Us, the Pettiness of It All.
  19. I only buy at my own bar.
  20. I'm sure this winter will provide ample opportunity for suffering, my son. Your redemption is, no doubt, just around the corner.
  21. I'm looking for light to medium weight hoodies...pullovers (light) and zips (medium). Off brand, on sale, and cheap is the way I go with this stuff. Gotta have the hood. Recommendations?
  22. You gonna post a TR? If not, set up a dropbox.com account and put some pics in there. I'll cherry pick from you, me, Josh, etc... Glad you guyz abandoned those beloved caves. I know it was a hard decision....
  23. Ie, where's our next round of drinks, beyotch?
  24. Considering her bout of whining inappropriately on the innernutz over such a bitchy little triviality, her life must not be all that examined.
  25. Repost # 3....
