I know, I couldn't believe it, either.

Why does that orange-skinned freak think doing more of what got us here and spending less to remedy the situation will fix the problems?

Isn't that the sort of thinking that you would associate with mental illness or drug addiction?

I think he hit himself too hard over the head with a bottle.

Ahh.. less taxes = utopia.....again.

 

[SezMe]

I agree with The Boner on Obama's economic team. It is a truly frightening experience.

Less taxes and less spending would be better, still. Then you don't need to sob stories and narratives as to how brave politicians are for increasing your taxes.

I'd be more inclined to give the government more of my money if I thought they had any chance at all of spending it well.

What would that look like?

No. That would allow the people who broke the country to wiggle out of paying to fix it and leave the country broken. Not gonna happen as long as the adults have the majority in congress.

That is an excellent question. I'll be sure to send you a postcard whenever it actually appears.

Can someone enlighten me on the Syracuse U thing? Is this a popular sub-meme in politics this week?

I clicked the thread wondering if someone was going to explain why Coach K is actually listening to Jim Boeheim in the run up to the Basketball world championships.

Their team is called the Orangemen.

Their team is called the Orangemen.

That I get. (Hint: I know who Jm Boeheim is, after all.)

I don't get the reference. e.g. is the linked video a weird tint? (All videos are crap on my laptop, so I don't notice.) Or has he been tagged with a nickname because he's always got ruddy hue?

Far too much concern, I guess. Just curious.

Ahhhhhh it's like obscenity? You can't define it, but you knows it when you sees it?

No human being is born with the pigment in that wierdo's skin. Gotta come out of a bottle of something.

Or maybe his liver just can't take his life style anymore.
