Willis out - Scherzer in w/ 12k's today!

Even better than that! 14 strikeouts in 5 and 2/3 innings. Should have been 15 if not for the ump's floating strike zone. Too bad striking out so many batters drastically increases your pitch totals so early in the game.

Granted, there was a lot of shit in the picnic basket handed to Obama when he took office, and granted there were problems that clearly precede anything undertaken by his administration, but at some point the "I'm not fucked up it's all my parents' fault" argument has to lose some of its momentum.

The Washington Post claimed in the beginning of this year that Obama inherited a huge deficit from Bush himself...however budgets do not get approved by the white house. They can only be passed by Congress, and it was the democrats who have been in control of Congress since January of '07.  So for fiscal year 2009 they bypassed Bush, who had by then gotten tougher on spending increases and passed a massive spending bill to complete the '09 budget.

Let's not forget that during this time Obama was sitting on that very same congress and signed the bill as president.

So what Obama inherited was a deficit that he himself voted for and then voted to expand four times over.

Yes, Bush spent too much.  Don't think I'm defending Bush by any means.... but Obama is pouring gasoline onto a burning building and then shrugging and saying "it was on fire already when I got here".

Why don't we just not repay the debt? What is China gonna do? Seriously.
Problem solved.

I feel so bad for people who truly worship Ayn Rand and take objectivism seriously. Will you ever learn to love? And feel? And not take Ron Paul seriously?

Geez, I feel so bad that the money people get for doing nothing but sitting on their asses all day smoking pot, playing video games, and drinking beer won't be worth as much in the future. BUY GOLD!!!

Wood glue and a bigger screw always worked for me.

Do you mean that the screw no longer holds the button on the guitar because the hole is too big?

So sad. Thank You Friends was stuck in my head all day. I just finished listening to Third before I read this.

Music Shit / Re: Why would you listen to Kiss...

« on: March 17, 2010, 04:32:57 PM »

Kiss is probably pretty sweet if you are a still a virgin. If not, then Thin Lizzy is the rightful choice. Though, Paul Stanley's People, Let Me Get This Off my Chest is fantastic.

I think we need to back this thread up a bit and clear up some confusion. Do they even have black people in Wisconsin? According to the college basketball team, no.

It was only after the dipshit 4-on-4 rules that Canada could actually win. Might as well been playing roller-hockey. Without an extra forechecker the US had no chance.

I cannot remember the band but, they sang the song "c'mon, c'mon," and the name of the album was "Pawn Shop Heart." So fucking whiney and grating.

Edit: the Von Bondies. Fucking awful.

Read books & ignore everyone around you.  Or get a shitty job so that being at school becomes less unattractive.

The only good advice I have read. I get so sick of hearing high school kids bitch. This entire message board is full of people punk rock nerds who didn't fit in. Suck it up, pussy.

I just bought a new sealed copy of Supercharger's "the Singles Party" for $4. It's not a super rare record, but I felt like I was ripping off the dipshit salesclerk giving me the judging eye for taking my time.
