Hmm, don't know how you'd call it wrong. Especially after you then say that pail became pack. There's always some media type who wants to modernize the lingo of the time. You took it back one gen further. That's cool. I'm sure that too was a morphing. Now where is there a republican who sees...

And in the face of all these acolades we can't find one scintilla of substantive evidence of accomplishments that would warrant listening to him on how to solve the credit crisis. I'd settle for him just showing me that he balanced his own checkbook. But that is a bit much. And before you...

Doc used to play the ponies at the State/Lake and Jackson street OTB's regularly. Now that the State Street location is closed, he still frequents Jackson on occasion. :)

Not interested in nulification. Just don't want the level of degree to be the ultimate qualification either. :)

Kind of false lead here. Some of the biggest idiots I know have degrees. Some of them multiple. At the same time some of our most wealthy and successful peoples have no degrees at all. And the last time I checked, we don't do national testing for either common sense or comprehension. :)

Back in the day, this was a reference to the average guy. No more, no less. It was used regularly in the media circles to talk to and about masses who were not priveledged or silver spooned. It simply meant the guy who worked hard at the factory all day, came home, kissed the wife, found the...

Not only interesting, quite accurate. The material delves into the prepared coarse materials looking down the middle of the road with little depth. The real secret here is that they should have inquired who prepared them. You might check into what black professor (he has multiple business...

Ok. The McCain plan saves $2,614. The Barak plan saves $2,204. Doesn't that make McCain's plan better? :)

According to the chart, $125k does better under McCain. Or am I reading it wrong? :)

Our lovely State of Illinois is running a deficit. You know, that thing that politicians never allow for in their lovely projections to do good. So to close the gap, the state passes the need onto the citizens. You see they never pay attention to the Washington budget plan when running the...

This one you'll need to explain. My understanding is that the cutoff is $250k. And what stops Illinois from making up the difference? You see that's still government taxation. And it's pure semantics to say, "Oh, that's not the Fed, it's the state and/or county that's taxing!" In either event...

It was just struck out of the current bailout plan. Barak specifically wanted that in there. It is one of his pet interests, understandably. ACORN, ok read here as to the bailout stuff: http://www.acorn.org/ It's a social justice platform that does nothing to prepare folks for...

Hmm, you sound as though you understand it fairly well. Ok, what is the difference in the Barak tax burden on a family making $125k verses what they pay now? Further, what is the financial burden that will impact on a couple making say $300k who's lifestyle (i.e., savings, mortgage, car note...

For now I'll stop with this one. I disagree, Barak wanted to add into the current crisis coverage monies for ACORN. That's the community organizing group that he worked for. And we're not talking about a few $100k either. That organization is clearly wasteful spending by any measure. :)

I think you've framed all of this properly. Now lets' see if I can give you the nail to hang this picture on. No correction will matter for the long term if the masses don't do a better job of responsible fiscal pruning. Regardless of whether or not the political nature to add more spending is...

You might check footage of the many basketball episodes. Troops at the three pointer shooting might also be able to confirm this as it's from a fellow combatant. Clearly if he were headed to see troops the memory would be fresh on his mind and he'd put it on. The story about it surely would have...

You know, I had a teacher like this once. The ass also had a problem in that I was smart and that I actually knew english as well as I did. He never practiced proper english with us. He always tried to be down and hip. He constantly would not call on me in class either when I raised my hand to...

For just about every one of your examples, I can give you the other side from a personal basis. Would you call it racist if I and a group of black friends don't allow you or any other white person to participate in something that we do? And what is your recourse if we don't? There are those...
