I really don't think that was a mistake at all. Haven't many analysts said that even during the recovery, substantial job creation won't be for a while, and if a recovery starts with the strengthening of financial institutions and ends with that leading to more jobs, doesn't that mean that the jobs come at the end portion of the recovery?

 

I'm not trying to make this a political argument (really, how obnoxious do you have to be to try and turn a dumb quote thread in to a political argument?) But he did say "at the end of", and not "after" And I a substantial drop in the unemployment rate is one of the latter occurances in the e conomic recovery... then wouldn't what he said be right?

You'd have to be pretty damned obnoxious...

I agree.

 

Seriously people. The political ass-hattery ends now. If a politician says something stupid "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." or "I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." that's great.

If you just want to pull partisan crap, you stay out of this thread.

 

 

Was that response pointed at me? Because I think I was fairly clear when I said both parties would have done the same thing. I also called Bush an idiot. Nothing about my response was partisan.

Plus, I only intended to comment once in this thread, but people responded to me in a manner I felt deserved comment. Including you.

^ The thing is, your quote was less dumb in and of itself than dumb in a political-economic context, which made you bring that context into this thread. That's why I didn't like it.

Yeah Anne Coulter is definitely after that redneck cash. That video was hilarious. There's no way she can believe half the crazy racist shit that comes out of her mouth. I really really hope not.

I really do believe that Coulter's faking it and Beck is actually off the deep end. He cries every other episode, for no reason. Sometimes he cries just because he loves America so much. And he always has this childlike wonder in his eyes, like he's not really there, or he's just so damn happy to be on TV. It's really really weird to see happen.

I'd heard some stuff about Glenn Beck, but it was always text.  So when I saw that video, I was like "WHAT?!"  How can this person even exist, let alone have a TV show for multiple seasons?

What?

That’s like saying if I said 2+2=7 is only dumb in a math context. Outside of math, it might not be dumb.

It was a dumb thing for him to say because of the context. Without context, nothing is smart or dumb.

Am I supposed to not post it because you don’t like the context?

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

That's just funny. So is the 57 state thing. THAT'S THE ENTIRE POST. You posted like two or three paragraphs. Why? Because it needs more context. It's tiresome.

I'm not castigating you, just saying that you could have picked a much better thing to post.

So defensive...

Another clue is that the OBGYN joke is unlikely to start a big fucking economics gynecology argument in a joke thread.

trashleg on 21 September 2009

i take back what i said earlier.

the stupidest thing i have ever "heard" has got to be the argument going on in this seemingly self-fulfilling thread.



Highwaystar101 said: trashleg said that if I didn't pay back the money she leant me, she would come round and break my legs... That's why people call her trashleg, because she trashes the legs of the people she loan sharks money to.

Fine. Then I change my answer.

"It makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, then end up taking up a hospital bed. It cost - when - if you - they just gave - you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment and ah breathalyzer." - Obama with the teleprompter goes down.

Short and simple.



Final-Fan on 21 September 2009

See, I LOLed at that. THAT was a good post. "Breathalyzer -- no wait, inhalator."

at the request of some bolded text :P :

We were in her car and she was driving. A cop siren turns on and it turns out she was doing 40 in a 25 zone. She says: "omg :( *sniffle* could you find it in your heart to give me a warning?"
cop: idk miss i'll have to think

her: *pulls shirt down to expose cleavage and squeezes arms together and wiggles slightly* take all the time you need

me: *facepalm so hard i had a red mark from the ring i was wearing*



We were studying for a "name the state" test and i was tutoring her. I asked her "what's the capital of Scandinavia" and she says "oh silly that's not a state"
Then I ask "what's the capital of Nebraska"
she says: That's not a state either silly.....


In another class we had, I told her i was surprised that 25% of the class was hispanic (that's rare for where we lived).

she said: nu uh. there's like 20 kids in the class only only like 5 are hispanic.

Oh my. I want more stories.

 

Please keep it up.
