Re: Michael Jackson and web traffic.

ellie590 — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:54:54 -0000

I guess the thing is that so many of us truly loved Michael Jackson and not for just his music but for his gentleness innocence and his refusal to be shaped to what the world wanted. But mostly we did not ever expect him to die and I will agree that is weird. We all know we are going to die but why did we not expect Michael to, maybe simply because he would not fit in with anything.

He was really a big star and now he is not in this world seems like that we have lost a big asset of earth. I love him.

Re: Hey, Letterman…didn’t you used to be funny?

Letterman is going the same way as George Carlin did...

Initially innovative, creative, and amazingly funny; but now, just a bitter, angry old Leftist.

This is where my money is going on:

("Tenth Amendment Movement Aims to Give Power Back to the States")

I also wonder, providing the 2010 census isn't 'gamed', what will happen after re-apportionment.

There is no area of life that is not touched by the hoary hand of the Congress:
(soon) the type of light bulb you may purchase (no 100 watt incandescent and later lower wattages)
The type of toilet you may flush
Cars are regulated in their entirety
Now they're talking of what types of foods may be preferentially taxed or prohibited.

It's not enough - it's too much.

Yes its true. Dogs are more special than cats. I don't hate cats but i love dogs more than cats. The size and characteristics of the dogs makes them more attractive. It is loyal to their owners than anyother living being in this world. Well they are good company for old ones in U.S..

You right on with that observation captain.

Don't forget...he also invented the Internet. According to him. Someday, I hope that a "gore" will make it into the dictionary, defined as "wildly exaggerated statement without any basis in fact." Right next to a "biden" - a crazy uncle no one pays the least bit of attention to, and a "pelosi" which would mean "someone who can't tell the difference in a lie and the truth, especially when it comes from their own mouths."

And remember: they use the term 'Green' in order to give a positive association with leftist causes and they do NOT use the word 'Conservation' in order to prevent a positive association with Conservatism. Words mean things.

Note that if the words they've used 'turn people off'... they change the words, not the movement. The words described double-plus-unfact, and the people didn't buy it.

It's so nice when they avoid talking about how they wish to control every facet of our lives.

Is that Senator Specter or Senator Sphincter? Hard to tell...

When I watch Jeremy Kyle show or Dr Phil show, I see people in trouble because they lack family leader(s) in their lives. The media does not support honoring elderly ... and it is for good reasons ... it is easier to fool younger generation ...

Except that, if you were REALLY familiar with the issue, you.d know that Virginia's portion of DC was returned at their request in the mid 1840's. It is what is now known as Arlington, Alexandria, etc., Va.

What is now known as DC was once part of Maryland, which doesn't WANT it back.

Yep. My dad used to tell me, no matter how noble the idea, it had to walk in on two clean feet. Geitner may be "the smartest kid in the room," (I have my doubts...BIG doubts), but he has zero credibility - not just because of his tax problems, but because he was the architect of TARP I - an unmitigated disaster.

The real problem here is when the government started gaming the system to achieve political goals (i.e.: get more people to buy houses...that they couldn't afford), eventually, the system breaks down. To see the guys that screwed it up (Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, TIm Geitner, etc.) all pointing the fingers elsewhere and claiming only THEY can fix the system, is reminiscent of O.J. hitting the golf links to find his wife's murderer.

Somebody buy these guys some mirrors (so they can see the source of the problem) - and maybe dose them with sodium pentathol before their next news conference.

Just found this site while googling Tim Geitner. Could not agree more with your statements. The article below is what got me fired up. If he really thinks our anger is directed only at the bank CEO's, he is a total idiot. Hey, maybe the bank CEO's just don't understand finance. There's plenty of blame to go around. Problem is nobody will stand up and admit they were wrong about any of this mess.

Geithner: Bankers to Blame for Loss of Confidence

In an interview with Public Broadcasting Service's "Newshour" program, Geithner said he was "deeply offended by the quality of judgments we've seen in the leadership of our nation's financial institutions."

"They've created a deep hole of public distrust and anger which is enormously damaging, and they have a huge obligation to try to restore that basic trust and confidence. And we're going to make sure they do it by making sure that our assistance comes with conditions," he said.

I saw that movie and and the gun related special effects were terrible. I especially enjoyed the part where the guy shoots a bullet that intercepts and redirects a bullet meant for her. I'd enjoy movies like that so much more if someone would at least have to do a mag change every once in while.

Heh - gimme an email and I'll meet you for dinner when you get back to The Big "D".

The Porkulus passed.
I'm currently reading "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson, but I think next it'll either be a re-read of either "Atlas Shrugged" by Rand or "Das Kapital", by Marx (and certainly not Groucho, either, *wags eyebrows*). I'm not sure which would be more comforting or of practical use right now.

Interesting thought there. I guess maybe because he is still new in office and after a few weeks or so, or with major setbacks, the opposition will be at the top of their voice and start questioning.

A very provocative idea. I remember that a few years back there were moves by some groups (Discovery Crusade) for a signature campaign trying to put the Philippines back into U.S. rule (52nd state). The leader of that movement though disappeared and was found out later on to have died and buried without his family's first hand knowledge.
