He died doing what he loved and God needed a journalist.

Tom In VA

He was a good dude. I feel bad I wasn't able to meet up with the gang around here before he passed.

RIP Screw

One of my favorite videos of spokesperson talent practicing his improv skills.

RACK War Wagon and Van. Thanks for the tunes.

Tom In VA

I dig that tune, thanks. I hear bagpipes.

I'm going to start my own religion where God requires me to get a handjob from a cute 25 year old brunette every day at 4:20 PM, on Saturdays and Sundays I'm required to get a blow job from a cute 25 year old brunette. There should be kiosks for this service in every state. If not, I'll cut off peop...

Great stuff Van.

Happy Thanksgiving folks.

P.S. Van, wishing you luck in your struggle. GIve it hell man.

Tom In VA

Maybe so. I forget that JoePa probably doesn't have to go through the referral process, waiting, biopsy and all that which can take a considerable amount of time for some folks. One things for sure in my opinion, he was having trouble breathing before this went down and this hasn't helped. Either wa...

Tom In VA

I don't think it's a bluff, he might have already had it. I"d actually be surprised to see JoPa make it through 2012.

Weinreb gets directly to the heart of the matter. Power, in all of its forms is inherently unsafe. It conveys the ability to compel others against their wishes. It conveys the ability to get away with things the average person would never dream of. And worst of all, when the kind of absolute power ...

Some dude said truth is the first casualty in war.

I have watched and read way too much Clancy shit. I thought the story was told that way to show Osama DID NOT go down fighting but rather a "paper tiger".

On this board? Sometimes I think you have your head up your ass. Look around here, do you see a lot of folks ignoring issues of union corruption? Not on this board. And I have a recurring curvature of the spine that occaasionally finds my head up my ass from time to time. Or not greedy enough. Meth...

Tom In VA

Got it. Government, corporations, and rich folk get corrupted. Unions and union bosses don't. Nobody is saying that the labor movement didn't serve a good cause at some point, and serve their brothers. But for some unions - it got seedy. I don't know man, there's some anecdotal stuff I can provide ...

He's not Bachmann, Romney or Perry.

Unfortunately he isn't Paul either but - oh well.

He might or might be able to even more fully expose the duplicity with the "progressives" but it has been interesting so far.

Tom In VA

Moi ?

No.

It would be interesting who killed it though, the "evil" 1% 'ers and their greed or the greed of the middle man opportunists running Union bureaucracies for their own ambitions for power, money, and acclaim.

Might be a bit o' both. Heh ?

I wasn't born but rumour has it, kids worked in them for shit wages too and many were sweatshops.

When does the labor movement move to China, India, and Vietnam to fight for the rights of those poor people ?

Mark Epstein, owner of the Milk Street Cafe at 40 Wall Street, just let 21 employees go. The reason? The barricades police have set up... The police have consistently overreacted. Blaming people exercising their legitimate 1st Amendment rights for the actions of the NYPD is nothing short of idiotic...

Riiter says he believed the other party was an adult - acting out a fantasy - presumably of being a 15 year old girl ? We call that "a lie," Tom. It's what many people resort to when they are apprehended engaging in illegal activity. I hope this helped. I didn't read the link. I have now....

Riiter says he believed the other party was an adult - acting out a fantasy - presumably of being a 15 year old girl ? How is that different than porn with h.s. themes, cheerleaders, etc.. ? Then you have these baby fetish people :lol: They had one on some show and some Senator went off on the dude....

No, it doesn't.

He and his posse are students of the Austrian School of Economics,, Mises, Hayek et. al, I thought that was more or less a fiscal conservative perspective.

He's in New York, he's addressing issues that predominantly emanate out of D.C. though.

Well I'm not so sure all of this shit is just lefties.

Maybe this town (D.C., what's up Screw) just needs a truth enema.

Tom In VA

Agreed, Occupy Wall Street, which isn't complelely LEFT WING and has a variety of folks including conservatives there is a very profound movement.

Same shit, different page.

Not at all. Doesn't mean I haven't worked hard. There appears to be a cycle of hard work opening up another opportunity. But if it wasn't for the people willing to take a chance on giving me that opportunity, well, there it is. Is that what you mean ? I have no idea of what you said there. :? No I ...

Well that's mighty unkind.

Hey Screw, have a good weekend. Enjoy the night life in D.C.

Hi Screw Michigan, how are you today ?

I hope you're doing well in DC.

"Taxing the rich" to "give" to the poor via bureaucratic programs seems to be a pretty utopian vision that doesn't reconcile with reality as well.

Tom In VA

She went back though.

That being said, I couldn't care less. Let 'em marry. It's none of my business. The thing is, it's also none of the Federal Government's business.

Agreed.

Van wrote:No, marriage is not a ~~Constitutional~~ fundamental right. It's a religious rite.

Good one Van.

I'd actually put forth it isn't always a religious rite either as much as a business transaction/contract.

Depends on the people and culture.

Maybe "liar" is a bit strong. Ill informed is probably more accurate. Phibes, we'd been getting brainwashed about Saddam for quite some time prior to 9-11. It started with Kuwait, fluctuated throughout 1992-2000 with 1997-2000 having some peak periods to the point that even Holllywood got ...

I was at the lowest point of my personal life in 2001. I dropped out of college, quit two jobs and was the most out of shape as I'd ever been. I was living with my grandparents at the time. My grandfather woke me up shortly after the second plane hit the towers and I immediately flipped on the TV t...
