   @Ratboy
   “Gee Thanks for bringing it up again, I was just about over it!”

   Here’s another for you:

   Last winter, I’m thinking February, I stopped by Wal-Mart to pick something up on my way into the night-shift on a Friday night. I was so angry afterwards I remember it as clearly as I sit here now.

   There were two women and three kids in the line in front of me. The kids were normally dressed, the women dressed nicely with lots of white gold bling.

   Lady 1: “Hey sweetie, whatcha got going on tonight. I’ve got some friends comin’ over and you should swing by. [Some guy's name] is gonna be there and he’d sure like to hit you up, ya know what I’m sayin’?”

   Lady 2: “Ah girlfriend, you know I’ve got things to do. I’ve been struggling filling out some forms to get that paper from my babies’ daddy. It needs to be done by Monday morning.” [paper = money if you didn't know]

   Lady 1: “What? You ain’t seen your babies’ daddy in years.”

   Lady 2: Laughs. “Sweetheart, I’m talkin’ about Obama. I call him my babies’ daddy. I get more from him than that [explicative] Bush.”

   I wouldn’t be surprised if I was steaming from the ears after that, though it was good to hear she at least prioritized her paperwork over partying. I see it all too often now that I’m numb to it.

   I know some liberal in here will say that it’s just a soundbite or an anecdote or a red-herring. There sure are alot of red-herrings and anecdotes out there right now.

   “Did I mention EX wife”

   I have an ex, but she works hard and understands fiscal responsibility. I’m grateful for that. The separation and divorce process was financially painful but I’m stronger now from it.

   I’m warning them: “if anything happens to the Sphinx or the pyramids, we’re coming after you.”

   

   Romney Got ZERO Votes In 59 Precincts in Philly, and 9 Precincts in Ohio as well

   It’s one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.

   Hmmm..There wasn’t one Morman is Ohio or Philly?

    @culmat

    I wouldn’t say that Rev Al’s ads are in violation of any election laws, but I do think the ads and other mischaracterizations say alot about the condition of MSNBC (and to some extent CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS) and the condition of the general voting population.

    Happy Veterans Day! Thanks to all that have sacrificed plenty!

    TZCA,

    Interesting how you spin my post and ironically claim I spun yours. Suddenly, I’m conveying a message that the financial collaspe is due to “not giving enough money to the poor”….really, that is what you derived from my post??? Sad, but I believe you already had a strawman no matter what I had to say because you simply are not listening.

    First, I don’t really care about people’s opinions because opinions are simply how you feel about a topic. I’ve no interest in debating them nor your past history/experiences. Everyone has there own story and/or experiences.

    What I find deliciously ironic is your philosophy of welfare and your choice for party/policy. This makes one wonder if you even know your own party’s policy. The flat tax so desperately wanting to get pushed through coupled with a thing called negative income tax tells me you don’t.

    One question before I leave is who wants to grow the welfare state? One of Milton Friedman’s ideas was to have tax payers pick up the tab for low income workers so business can make larger profits by undercutting their work force. Talk about the Walmart Model! Again, deliciously ironic! No government red tape needed;-)

    The ironic laying claim to irony. This is deliciously ironic. You as well simply do not listen. You claim you don’t want to argue opinions or history/experiences while presenting ideology shrouded in opinion and your own perception of historical context.

    Yours is one of those responses deserving a valley girl’s “what-ever!”

    @Coffee Steve “Wow! my daughter is in the 7th grade, and she is doing this stuff already that I didn’t get to until the late 8th grade. In mathematics, in the context of polynomials, the word monomial can have one of two different meanings:…”

    Well maybe somebody will finally teach the Republican Party about a little thing called Arithmetic.

    TZCA,

    Historical events and facts are not the same as anecdotal.

    Agreed. But the manner in which those facts are presented can be.

18. TZCA

    Posted November 12, 2012 at 12:19 PM

    ^I should use ‘context’ instead of ‘manner’ as the word ‘manner’ implies a behavior or attitude, and this is not what I meant to imply.

    Facts are facts rather I agree with the outcome or not is opinion.

    @Tony “The 50-48 victory by Obama…”

    By the way, it’s now 51% to 48% and Obama has now passed the 62 Million mark.

    Also, keep in mind that there are still millions of votes to be counted and Obama has a real chance to pass the 65 Million mark.
