    Looks like that reactor is becoming a bit of a problem.

    Uh...OK. KKK can watch for his own tsunamis. We get that. That doesn't sound crazy at all.

    "dude. tsunami's coming. I'm gonna go down to the beach to take pictures of it!" If only the gov't regulated this activity! Actually, government provides (or not, depending on locale) the systems to detect, track, warn, and evacuate for tsunamis, as well as respond to the damage afterwards.

    who said we needed to come up with new material when the old material is more current than EVER, in my lifespan anyway? Nevermind.

    Seems like enjoying 10,000 martinis with a coterie of starlets in your Dean Martinesque pad in Malibu before a tsunami takes you and your guests out would be a fair trade off.
  8. Rather than dive down into specific base closings right away (which I can't speak to intelligently anyway from my not-so-lofty spraypit), I would look at the whole military budget pie, identify 1) An overall % reduction goal 1) the largest wedges and 2) cost of various programs like weapons systems figure out what our strategic goals are for the military (does anyone know these days?) See which expenditures don't align well with our goals(cold war weapons systems, bases in places we no longer really need them due to changes in the political landscape) Account for the consequences of such cuts on the economy/deficit/social well being in terms of increased unemployment, and go from there. Obviously a more involved exercise than this forum is appropriate for. Considering that the military has enjoyed a blank check since Reagan, I'd say there's probably HUGE amounts of mis-alignment that could be slashed.

    There is the basic principle that too much repetitious insult leads to being ignored, and being fresher and funnier communicating your points more effectively. Arguable in my case, perhaps, but at least I try to come up with new material now and then. Hey, I tried.
  10. The deficit doesn't correlate at all well with the economy; it's a political decision primarily, so that policy wouldn't make sense from a policy/financial standpoint. Also, talk about a complicating the tax code even more....let's all argue about what numbers represent how the economy is doing. Tax policy, and the goals it seeks to achieve (one of which is distribution of wealth and benefits, duh) should be longer term than that. I'm for a national balanced budget amendment eventually, BTW...once we get the deficit under control. That means slashed military spending, yo.

    I'm usually joking, but not this time. Seriously, we could all use a break, and that goes out to both and the KKKster. If you've posted it once, that's good enough, eh?
  12. Would you accept a bump up to 39%?
  13. I think gutting middle class jobs in a time of 9+% unemployment rather than taxing those with incomes north of 1/4 Mil is definitely a wiser long term policy and certainly more fair, doncha think?
  14. Um...cuz the rich don't pay enough, perhaps, as exhibited by now wildly skewed income demographics in the US? Had dinner with a rich guy last weekend that said exactly the same thing as Buffet. Intelligent response?

    Yeah, I'm with KKK, now. You're getting fucking boring, Buckoo. Find a new tune, will ya? It can't be that hard.

    never waste a crisis, ivan? i'm an atheist to be sure, but hardly a crusading one as that'd be...uh..retarded. ya'll are free to draw your own conclusions, so long as you leave me out of them Arguing against religion is like arguing for abstinence - if only we weren't human, eh? We're born and bred to believe in copious quantities of bullshit. Whether that trait still has a survival benefit these days remains to be seen.
  18. Yea, congress keeps giving themselves bigger and bigger salaries and sweeter benefits. f-ing rich f-s! That's nice. How about a comment on Mr. Buffet's contention...you know, for a little less boring repetition on your part? Just this once....

    you are a one track record. boring. Well, you know what they say: Bored = Boring.
  20. This latest brown hunt will likely solidify the rabid psycho Rfuck base and alienate the rest. The 'issue' is pure fantasy. Probable Net Final Effect: good for our side. FUX is cumming all over its belly on this one, of course, but the rest of the media is slamming it.

    ME Sis reports from the center of Hokkaido that she felt a minor tremor - many there felt nothing. It's a stable part of the island unless you include the occasional volcanic eruption....

    Oh, there's a god, alright. He's made of 2 hydrogens and one oxygen and kinda looks like Mickey Mouse.
  23. When wifey's a doc, you can sport a feckless hipster's job history and still look down on boring middle class workin' folks, I guess. Ah, the new entitlement generation. Awesome.
  24. You've got to love King's unapologetic support for IRA bombings of innocent civilians (yup...explicitly stated, too) as excellent experience for his new role as McCarthy Lite. Talk about manufacturing purely partisan support for a made up excuse to get yer rocks off on a little brown-hatin' - but vetting isn't exactly what Rfucks do, is it? You just need to point out who needs hatin' and they're all over that shit, no questions asked. Actually, if you do ask questions, you're a pussy. I see a job opening at FUX in someone's future....

    There appears to be little danger of any kind of a radioactive release. Still, 'oceanfront reactors' might not be the best idea....
