    Really, too much snow for a football game!!?

    yeah, it's turning into baseball, where they delay the game if it drizzles 0.001" of precipitation. baseball is the pansiest sport of all (i don't consider golf a sport).

    Use a computer as a phone

    internet-based phone sucks unless you have 100% reliable internet, which NO ONE has. out of the three voice services (internet-based, cellular, and landline), the latter is still the most reliable. landline is very mature technology so all the kinks have been worked out. you can't say the...

    Do you think the Fed will ever raise rates?

    if they included food prices, we'd have even less inflation. i don't know about you guys, but i've noticed groceries are cheaper now than 2 years ago, and about the same as 5-6 years ago. 2-3 years ago, my supermarket sold filet mignon for $15.99/lb. now it's $13.99/lb (same quality cut)...

    Cluster B girls

    sounds like one of the chicks i'm dating now. i was initially attracted to her because she's young and hot, but behind that exterior is one f*'d up girl. she is extremely emotional, even by female standards. she will go from happy/laughing to crying in the blink of an eye, all over...

    would you book online a travel to outer space?

    those space tourism flights are too draconian, especially the one they had to the international space station. it's like taking a one week tour on a submarine -- seems cool at first but the accomodations would make Motel-6 seem like a five-star hotel. there's a company working on a space...

    Government Unions vs. Taxpayers

    let's see here, you forgot to include paid vacations and pensions. and where do you get this idea that health benefits are $500 per month? that's laughable. it's $1500 per month for someone age 40 with a spouse and 2 kids. that goes up exponentially as he gets older. add it all up and...

    Taxing the Rich does not kill Jobs

    nice idea but it has zero chance of happening because it would cause hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. you see, accountants, tax professionals and tax software makers are in business only because the IRS code is so goddamn complicated. if it were simplified as much as you propose...

    Crazy airport security theater affecting travel & economy?

    i wonder about the safety of those smaller private jets. the pilots are not as experienced and the planes have less mechanical redundancy than large passenger airliners.
