Any of the Dixie Chicks looks better than Palin. Besides that, they’re smart and can sing too. All Palin can do is whine and call real Americans terrorists.
Taxpayer,
The Dixie Chics are trailer trash. Smart? Are you kidding me? Palin is a governor. The Chics are white trash bimbos. Palin is WAY hotter than any of the fatties in that group.
You know all I could give you are the well-worn phrases such as “Palin around with terrorists” and the intended inference.
Commie,
The Dixie Chics got to keep their wardrobes. Now, what would your response have been if I compared them to say Hillary AND they had never cut Bush down during that concert. Better yet, what if Palin were the Democrat and the Dixie Chicks were devout followers of the Republican faith?

It’s fine with me and I hope you can get an entire ROFL and BWAFULL chorus to join you in exposing what a fraud he is. The more that goes on the better 2010 is looking.
Ahhhh. I’m jealous. The trailer looks cool. When that dude says something like “or we can be Lycans!!!!” it makes me want to stand up and yell, “Hell yeah!!!” and I don’t even know what a Lycan is, but that guy makes it look cool!!!
RW,
That’s just transcendentalism. I think. Sometimes I get my freakazoid philosophies mixed up.
HaHaHaHaHa…Better yet, Obama will snap his finger and Boehner will come over and wipe the sauce off the corner of his mouth. Now, that would be too precious. A sense a new SNL skit in the making. Maybe I should write that one up and send it in.
I’m not sure what freakazoid philosophy it fits into, but this one is even stranger than most. JLove is always helping this guy go find his past lover that he knows nothing about, but the look on her face always seems to be one that looks like she is supposed to be that lost lover.
It’s very strange and Paul owes us an in depth explanation.
Saw your comment downstairs about your brother-in-law and his teacher. I can feel for the ol’ boy. I’ve had a life long fascination with history. I po’d more than one teacher because I was better read on the subject than they were. In 11th grade though I had a really fine American History teacher, Frank Yancey. He would teach you what was in the book and then say, “now here’s what the opponents of that thought”.
I love all kinds of music but in my country I prefer the traditional stuff. As they say though, there’s only 13 notes of music. It’s all good to somebody. Can’t go wrong with Hank, Sr. The man was a great writer. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” is pure poetry. He probably didn’t plan it that way but he truly did follow the old adage, “always leave ‘em wantin’ one more”.
JLoveHewitt’s husband died at the same time another guy died. The other guy headed off into the Light (no, there wasn’t country music playing, Taxpayer) and JLove’s husband’s spirit looked at her and whoosh, went into the guy’s body and he revived. He has amnesia, but figured out who he’s supposed to be, but now he’s getting flashbacks from JLove’s husband’s life. And when JLove looks at him she sees, physically, her husband but everyone else sees the other guy.
It’s easier trying to figure out who the Fifth Cylon is.

Hey, do ya’ think Republicans are really Cylons, ‘cause they can rise from the dead and get recycled and… wait.. the Hub’s been blown so no resurrection…. getalife said something.. wait… wait… oh yeah - tax cuts! Recycled ideas! Hey, at least they’re into recycling!
I don’t know, you know Paul, he’s so short on in-depth explanations and all.
Isn’t trancendentalism the one where you don’t know what other people see or hear or taste - even though we call it the same thing, it could be something else to the individual? Or some bullsh!t like that? Oh, now I’m gonna have to wiki it.
That’s almost verbatim the explanation my wife gave me and it’s still as clear as the swamp water in getalife’s neck of the woods.

It’s hard to tell who the bad guys are. What if there is more than one Resurrection Ship? Taxpayer made me think of that. A ship for the metalloids and fighter ships. I don’t think it’s coincidence that they pulled up that old metal Cylon head.
A Dozen Fun Facts About the House Democrats’ Massive Spending Bill
The House Democrats’ bill will cost each and every household $6,700 additional debt, paid for by our children and grandchildren.
The total cost of this one piece of legislation is almost as much as the annual discretionary budget for the entire federal government.
President-elect Obama has said that his proposed stimulus legislation will create or save three million jobs. This means that this legislation will spend about $275,000 per job. The average household income in the U.S. is $50,000 a year.
The House Democrats’ bill provides enough spending - $825 billion - to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700.
$825 billion is enough to give every person living in poverty in the U.S. $22,000.
$825 billion is enough to give every person in Ohio $72,000.
Although the House Democrats’ proposal has been billed as a transportation and infrastructure investment package, in actuality only $30 billion of the bill - or three percent - is for road and highway spending. A recent study from the Congressional Budget Office said that only 25 percent of infrastructure dollars can be spent in the first year, making the one year total less than $7 billion for infrastructure.
Much of the funding within the House Democrats’ proposal will go to programs that already have large, unexpended balances. For example, the bill provides $1 billion for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which already have $16 billion on hand. And, this year, Congress has plans to rescind $9 billion in highway funding that the states have not yet used.
In 1993, the unemployment rate was virtually the same as the rate today (around seven percent). Yet, then-President Clinton’s proposed stimulus legislation ONLY contained $16 billion in spending.
Here are just a few of the programs and projects that have been included in the House Democrats’ proposal:
$650 million for digital TV coupons.
$6 billion for colleges/universities - many which have billion dollar endowments.
$166 billion in direct aid to states - many of which have failed to budget wisely.
$50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts.
$44 million for repairs to U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters.
$200 million for the National Mall, including grass planting.
$400 million for “National Treasures.”
Almost one-third of the so called tax relief in the House Democrats’ bill is spending in disguise, meaning that true tax relief makes up only 24 percent of the total package - not the 40 percent that President-elect Obama had requested.
$825 billion is just the beginning - many Capitol Hill Democrats want to spend even more taxpayer dollars on their “stimulus” plan.
[[Are there at least any cool shots where we see him looking like one guy on screen and a reflection in a mirror where he looks like the other one at he same time?]]
You oughta be a script writer. That does happen. The guy’s a real idiot, though. Clueless like a 14-year old (well, okay, like a 14 year old when I was 14) - JLove keeps giving him all these pining looks and he says something like “hey, thanks for the coffee!”
In the words of the inestimable getalife: Idiot!

And my 10th grade world history teacher would have us lay out a general principle and give 2 or 3 supporting ideas. Questions were like (I still remember this) “State two economic and three political ways in which the unification of Germany and Italy were similar.” Sophomore high school. The guy had taught the parents of some of the students in the class. He was good.

Bosch,
So independent Resurrection Ships and then, eons later, progress is a Hub that can be taken out that renders all the other Resurrection Ships useless. Well let me say this about that (short, cryptic explanation to follow…)
I wonder how Obama feels now that he has dusted a few Islamic people. Reports are that missles fired from a US spy plane (Predator, we assume) smoked ten enemy combatants in Pakistan. Dead right there. No trial or anything. Were their human rights violated? Why didn’t the O-Man have them Mirandized and brought to trial? He could have just tried to talk to them.
Interesting question. Knee jerk reaction says 1 cubed, but that would still be 1. No wonder I’m watching a show with a brazillion algorithms trying to solve a crime and you guys can’t even get a fifth Cylon.
Plus the Numb3rs main crime solver guy was the hopelessly misplaced doctor in one of my favorite shows of all time, Northern Exposure, so I keep waiting for the rest of the cast to make him look like a fool.
Maybe that’s why I didn’t watch after the first couple of episodes. It was like the promise of a 3 but the one, even cubed, never made it past 1. Sounds like the writers got a handle on it and it’s matured. I may give it a go - have another recording slot left at that time.
Bosch
Glued to the tube? Gaeta’s lucky the shot wasn’t higher. Starbuck - wow, take no prisoners even with the insults. The most accomplished here could take a few lessons from her.
The themes - right on the heels of Jay’s immigration post - with the Cylon integration and the majority feeling threatened with takeover. Individual votes by ships - rather the same as the states going their own way… show’s back…
Truth be told the show isn’t that much better than the first couple of shows, with an episode here and there that stands out. Don’t waste a slot if you have any doubts about what you want to record.
Matrimonial harmony compels me to sing it’s praises.
{{{{The shaky Pakistani government of Asif Ali Zardari has expressed hopes for warm relations with Obama, but members of Obama’s new national security team have already telegraphed their intention to make firmer demands of Islamabad than the Bush administration, and to back up those demands with a threatened curtailment of the plentiful military aid that has been at the heart of U.S.-Pakistani ties for the past three decades.-Urinal/Jihad}}}}

Ahhhh. I’m jealous. The trailer looks cool. When that dude says something like “or we can be Lycans!!!!” it makes me want to stand up and yell, “Hell yeah!!!” and I don’t even know what a Lycan is, but that guy makes it look cool!!!

That’s just transcendentalism. I think. Sometimes I get my freakazoid philosophies mixed up.

I’m not sure what freakazoid philosophy it fits into, but this one is even stranger than most. JLove is always helping this guy go find his past lover that he knows nothing about, but the look on her face always seems to be one that looks like she is supposed to be that lost lover.
It’s very strange and Paul owes us an in depth explanation.

To Paul:
Saw your comment downstairs about your brother-in-law and his teacher. I can feel for the ol’ boy. I’ve had a life long fascination with history. I po’d more than one teacher because I was better read on the subject than they were. In 11th grade though I had a really fine American History teacher, Frank Yancey. He would teach you what was in the book and then say, “now here’s what the opponents of that thought”.
I love all kinds of music but in my country I prefer the traditional stuff. As they say though, there’s only 13 notes of music. It’s all good to somebody. Can’t go wrong with Hank, Sr. The man was a great writer. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” is pure poetry. He probably didn’t plan it that way but he truly did follow the old adage, “always leave ‘em wantin’ one more”.

JLoveHewitt’s husband died at the same time another guy died. The other guy headed off into the Light (no, there wasn’t country music playing, Taxpayer) and JLove’s husband’s spirit looked at her and whoosh, went into the guy’s body and he revived. He has amnesia, but figured out who he’s supposed to be, but now he’s getting flashbacks from JLove’s husband’s life. And when JLove looks at him she sees, physically, her husband but everyone else sees the other guy.
It’s easier trying to figure out who the Fifth Cylon is.

THANK YOU! That movie looks awesome. I was kinda thinking about Benjamin Button but something about aging backwards freaks me out. My wife wants to see Defiance - seems like a good movie - but I’m gonna lobby for your recommendation.
PS - Obama to Pelosi/Reid - “didn’t you get my memo on this change thing?”
Easy eating tonight - just had some crab/artichoke dip. Someone else made it, so it ‘took the edge off.’ Now beef stew - in the crockpot all day so easy easy - and it’s a recipe one of my sons dreamed up. He’s really good at that - it’s simple and tasty. Good for a cool/cold evening.

Isn’t trancendentalism the one where you don’t know what other people see or hear or taste - even though we call it the same thing, it could be something else to the individual? Or some bullsh!t like that? Oh, now I’m gonna have to wiki it.

A Dozen Fun Facts About the House Democrats’ Massive Spending Bill
The House Democrats’ bill will cost each and every household $6,700 additional debt, paid for by our children and grandchildren.
The total cost of this one piece of legislation is almost as much as the annual discretionary budget for the entire federal government.
President-elect Obama has said that his proposed stimulus legislation will create or save three million jobs. This means that this legislation will spend about $275,000 per job. The average household income in the U.S. is $50,000 a year.
The House Democrats’ bill provides enough spending - $825 billion - to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700.
$825 billion is enough to give every person living in poverty in the U.S. $22,000.
$825 billion is enough to give every person in Ohio $72,000.
Although the House Democrats’ proposal has been billed as a transportation and infrastructure investment package, in actuality only $30 billion of the bill - or three percent - is for road and highway spending. A recent study from the Congressional Budget Office said that only 25 percent of infrastructure dollars can be spent in the first year, making the one year total less than $7 billion for infrastructure.
Much of the funding within the House Democrats’ proposal will go to programs that already have large, unexpended balances. For example, the bill provides $1 billion for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which already have $16 billion on hand. And, this year, Congress has plans to rescind $9 billion in highway funding that the states have not yet used.
In 1993, the unemployment rate was virtually the same as the rate today (around seven percent). Yet, then-President Clinton’s proposed stimulus legislation ONLY contained $16 billion in spending.
Here are just a few of the programs and projects that have been included in the House Democrats’ proposal:
Almost one-third of the so called tax relief in the House Democrats’ bill is spending in disguise, meaning that true tax relief makes up only 24 percent of the total package - not the 40 percent that President-elect Obama had requested.
$825 billion is just the beginning - many Capitol Hill Democrats want to spend even more taxpayer dollars on their “stimulus” plan.

You oughta be a script writer. That does happen. The guy’s a real idiot, though. Clueless like a 14-year old (well, okay, like a 14 year old when I was 14) - JLove keeps giving him all these pining looks and he says something like “hey, thanks for the coffee!”
In the words of the inestimable getalife: Idiot!

And my 10th grade world history teacher would have us lay out a general principle and give 2 or 3 supporting ideas. Questions were like (I still remember this) “State two economic and three political ways in which the unification of Germany and Italy were similar.” Sophomore high school. The guy had taught the parents of some of the students in the class. He was good.
Saw Tammy Wynette in a very small venue once. Beautiful gown, what a voice. Sang about life. That’s real country.

I wonder how Obama feels now that he has dusted a few Islamic people. Reports are that missles fired from a US spy plane (Predator, we assume) smoked ten enemy combatants in Pakistan. Dead right there. No trial or anything. Were their human rights violated? Why didn’t the O-Man have them Mirandized and brought to trial? He could have just tried to talk to them.

Interesting question. Knee jerk reaction says 1 cubed, but that would still be 1. No wonder I’m watching a show with a brazillion algorithms trying to solve a crime and you guys can’t even get a fifth Cylon.
Plus the Numb3rs main crime solver guy was the hopelessly misplaced doctor in one of my favorite shows of all time, Northern Exposure, so I keep waiting for the rest of the cast to make him look like a fool.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t watch after the first couple of episodes. It was like the promise of a 3 but the one, even cubed, never made it past 1. Sounds like the writers got a handle on it and it’s matured. I may give it a go - have another recording slot left at that time.

Glued to the tube? Gaeta’s lucky the shot wasn’t higher. Starbuck - wow, take no prisoners even with the insults. The most accomplished here could take a few lessons from her.
