Up until the face punching I could have seen him getting off, just a takedown before then.

Right between the eyes. The concert was in Springfield, Mo.

Had a second row seat for a Rush concert back in the 70's. My buddy sitting next to me got one of Peart's drum sticks that he threw into the crowd.

Glad I live in Harris County, Texas, the death penalty capital of the western world.

Little boy: Mommy, Mommy, I hate sister's guts. Not PC Mommy: Shut up, and eat 'em while they are hot.

Glad I live a good three football fields from that stupid ass city.

The Hell with Our Constitution By Walter Williams Judaism: The Jewish site | Dr. Robert Higgs, senior fellow at the Oakland-based Independent Institute, penned an article in The Christian Science Monitor (2/9/2009) that suggests the most intelligent recommendation that I've read to fix our current economic mess. The title of his article gives his recommendation away: "Instead of stimulus, do nothing ? seriously." Stimulus package debate is over how much money should be spent, whether some should given to the National Endowment for the Arts, research sexually transmitted diseases or bail out Amtrak, our failing railroad system. Dr. Higgs says, "Hardly anyone, however, is asking the most important question: Should the federal government be doing any of this?" He adds, "Until the 1930s, the Constitution served as a major constraint on federal economic interventionism. The government's powers were understood to be just as the framers intended: few and explicitly enumerated in our founding document and its amendments. Search the Constitution as long as you like, and you will find no specific authority conveyed for the government to spend money on global-warming research, urban mass transit, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or countless other items in the stimulus package and, even without it, in the regular federal budget." By bringing up the idea of constitutional restraints on Washington, I'd say Dr. Higgs is whistling Dixie. Americans have long ago abandoned respect for the constitutional limitations placed on the federal government. Our elected representatives represent that disrespect. After all I'd ask Higgs: Isn't it unreasonable to expect a politician to do what he considers to be political suicide, namely conduct himself according to the letter and spirit of the Constitution? While Americans, through ignorance or purpose, show contempt for our Constitution, I doubt whether they are indifferent between a growing or stagnating economy. Dr. Higgs tells us some of the economic history of the U.S. In 1893, there was a depression; we got out of it without a stimulus package. There was a major recession of 1920-21; though sharp, it quickly reversed itself into what has been call the "Roaring Twenties." In 1929, there was an economic downturn, most notably featured by the stock market collapse, after which came massive government intervention ? you might call it the nation's first stimulus package. President Hoover and Congress responded to what might have been a two- or three-year sharp downturn with many of the policies President Obama and Congress are urging today. They raised tariffs, propped up wage rates, bailed out farmers, banks and other businesses, and financed state relief efforts. When Roosevelt came to office, he became even more interventionist than Hoover and presided over protracted depression where the economy didn't fully recover until 1946. Roosevelt didn't have an easy time with his agenda; he had to first emasculate the U.S. Supreme Court. Higgs points out that federal courts had respect for the Constitution as late as the 1930s. They issued some 1,600 injunctions to restrain officials from carrying out acts of Congress. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned as unconstitutional the New Deal's centerpieces such as the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act and other parts of Roosevelt's "stimulus package." An outraged Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court, and the Court capitulated to where it is today giving Congress virtually unlimited powers to tax, spend and regulate. My question to my fellow Americans is: Do we want a repeat of measures that failed dismally during the 1930s? A more fundamental question is: Should Washington be guided by the Constitution? In explaining the Constitution, James Madison, the acknowledged father of the Constitution, wrote in Federalist Paper 45: "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce." Has the Constitution been amended to permit Congress to tax, spend and regulate as it pleases or have Americans said, "To hell with the Constitution"?

Shannon Ardo - LinkedIn Someone oughta tell her about this forum.

What we do not need to do is artificially maintain current housing prices with artificially low interest rates. Our best hope is the Dems and Republicans keep killing each others plans.

Tried to pick up a gal at a bar last night. Unbelievably, she was not attracted to me. I'll bet it was Shannon.

That Shannon seems a bit of a tyrant.

It's the ex-husband. Doubt if he cared much for her anyhow.

Let us look at the word mass. By definition the mass media must aim for a large target audience. Therefore, they are not going to promote either the Marxist ideology that eisenbat prefers nor the classical liberal ideology I prefer. You get both sides of the middle from the mass media. You do not get the extremes on either side. Fortunately, I can walk into any bookstore and see Rand and Chomsky on the same shelf in capitalist societies, for some damn reason Rand may not be available in socialist economies. We all recognize most attempts to censor media are now coming from the left.

I am wanting a forum available for the female BS'ers to post their nude photos.

Never seen so much BS in one artcile in my life, Guess it is posted at the right forum.

Off with his head.

She must be pretty good. May have to put her on my list.

Hugo 3-10-08 Looks like I slightly underestimated the dollars rise. As you see a stronger dollar ain't exactly helped the economy. If the government were really simply interested in stirring the economy and are going to blow a trillion anyways they should just give 5K to every American man and woman over 18.

Scored a bunch of pickled jalapenos from our last company lunch cater, Been adding three per pound to the recipe. It's great.
