Posted by bruni on August 28, 2008

Rush Limbaugh is talking on his show like normal, suddenly you get someone on the phone who yells yeehaw or something, it’s George fuckin Bush, LOL! I thought it was a satire at first, but no it’s the real thing
I read that it was some type of big anniversary or something.
I heard that, it was awesome. 20th anniversary of his show or something.

You forgot Jeb. Jeb was on too.

China allows you to ‘replace’ your kid that was killed in the quake.

Posted by bruni on August 24, 2008

My God. China is so evil. That government is so bad. I can’t believe how people have sold there souls to the Chinese government.

I mean, what a great bunch of guys. They build the schools so substandard that they fall down in a quake where other shacks are left standing.
Then the government gives you permission to replace your lost valuables (under there one child policy) that you lost in the quake.

That is so fucking wrong.
But I think it paints a pretty accurate picture of how the Chinese government views there citizens. There citizens are commodities. Nothing else.

If Al Gore really gave a damn about the evironment, he’d be in China right now.

But obviously there isn’t any money in it.

What a tool. Let’s bitch and moan in a country full of clear skies and ignore the world being disgusted about the Olympics being held in a stadium where you can’t even see the track from the top of the stands.
Or he wouldn’t get limoed around to his private jet……but that’s beside the point
YAY, another "Let’s bitch about Al Gore" thread!

Why Obama Could be in Trouble

Posted on August 7, 2008, Printed on August 7, 2008

It might seem unlikely that the United States would elect John McCain to succeed George W. Bush when that would ensure continuation of many unpopular Bush policies: an ill-defined war with the Muslim world, right-wing consolidation of the U.S. Supreme Court, a drill-oriented energy strategy, tax cuts creating massive federal deficits, etc., etc.

Asif Ali Zardari, the head of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party and Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League faction, will formally request that he steps down, and impeach him through parliamentary measures if he refuses to do so.

The surprise of recent months is not that global economic growth is slowing, but that there is any growth at all. The credit crunch of the past year has not followed the path of recent economically debilitating episodes characterised by a temporary freezing up of liquidity – 1982, 1989, 1997-8 come to mind. This crisis is different – a once or twice a century event deeply rooted in fears of insolvency of major financial institutions.

Are you in favor of a National ID card?

Then again, we’re Americans so our opinion doesn’t matter.
I personally don’t care, just another ‘drivers license’.

I support it, if it’s opt in, which it’s not, so I don’t. really

thats a very dim view to take

Joseph Stiglitz argues that the "left" are best for economic growth

Posted by bruni on August 13, 2008

Both the left and the right say they stand for economic growth. So should voters trying to decide between the two simply look at it as a matter of choosing alternative management teams?

If only matters were so easy! Part of the problem concerns the role of luck. America’s economy was blessed in the 1990s with low energy prices, a high pace of innovation, and a China increasingly offering high-quality goods at decreasing prices, all of which combined to produce low inflation and rapid growth.
