We claim no responsibility for Guttenberg.
That's the Knights of Columbus.
Blame them.

I would have voted for Bird Flu too, but I agree the lazy media have finally got bored with this one.

I voted for Traditional Values Collapse partly as a reaction to the old couple I had the misfortune to sit behind on the bus today.

Of their MANY and varied whinges (15 minute journey, every sentence a complaint) was the following:

M - It's like the clock. They spent all that money cleaning the clock on the railway station, and I bet it still don't work.
F - No, they haven't put the hands back on yet.
M - Humpf, probably won't bother. Kids these days can't even tell the time, all got digital watches.
F - Arrrrrrrh!

Er, hello Grandad? I think you'll find the huge surge in digital watches was about 20 years ago. My Dad and some of my friends have them, but every child I know under 15 has a watch with hands...

They're all the same.

The Freemasons want to dominate the world. They erode traditional values so that we'll travel in fossil fueled vehicles, rather than stay at home with our families. This leads to global warming, peak oil prices, and urban sprawl, which brings people in closer contact to birds, which have the flu. The threat of terrorism causes us to accept a police state, which will keep us in line when fuel prices increase astronomically or suppy runs out.

IT'S ALL THE SAME THING! A GIANT INTERLOCKING PLAN!

Think about this:
W hasn't found Osama Bin Laden.
Why? Because W is not looking for him.
Why? Because OSB was working for W.
Why? Because W needed a terrorist attck on US soil.
Why? Because W needed a flashpoint to start a war on terror.
Why? Because the Neocons wanted to implement "The Project For The New American Century"
Why? Because neocons are freemasons, or their unwitting pawns, and the freemasons want to control the world!

True, 911 was Dubya & Co.'s Reichstag fire.
Plus, he can't kill the brother of his best buddy... that would be just wrong!

The Mormons have to fit in there somewhere. They'll replace Islam with Mormonism in the middle east as part of the new american century plan... it's almost too perfect...

Bin Laden is a polygamist?

So his justification for why the deficit is lower is that... he's taking less?

What?

xoxoxoBruce · 07-11-2006, 10:49 AM

Maybe not?

Quote:

"The 2006 deficit may be a bit lower, but it represents a $600 billion swing from the surplus projected in 2001. And a deficit of $296 billion is still a large deficit. In nominal terms, its one of the four largest in history,"

Considering the beating the Bush Administration has taken for the past few months, being able to say, "Hey! We suck less than we did last quarter!" is a pretty big deal...

Undertoad · 07-13-2006, 08:33 AM

The economy has been very seriously booming for the last year and a half. Growth is up, unemployment is low, profits are way up and in this most recent report wages are increasing. By every measure, things are awesome.

Of course the economy goes through ups and downs all the time, inevitably, and whoever is in charge when it booms gets credit, and whoever is in charge when it busts gets blame.

However there should be consequences to economists who predict doom just before the boom.

Maybe he used the same calculatir that he used for his Medicare drug estimate.

Quote:

As recently as September, Medicare chief Mark B. McClellan said the new drug package would cost $534 billion over 10 years. Last night, he acknowledged that the cumulative cost of the program between 2006 and 2015 will reach $1.2 trillion,

There's been rumor than everything is going great, but I don't see it. Maybe it's the higher energy prices (gasoline and PECO), or maybe it's that all those big profits haven't trickled down to me yet - if they ever will.

Well, if they work for the administration, they get hearty slaps on the back for making the actual numbers sound great!
