Why are the socialists pretending they've "lost" because there were no tax hikes?
The "spending cuts" barely amount to a paper cut.
As Rand Paul said:
“The President called for a “balanced approach.” But the American people are calling for a balanced budget. This deal does nothing to fix the overreaches of both parties over the past few years: Obamacare, TARP, trillion-dollar wars, runaway entitlement spending. They are all cemented into place with this deal, and their legacy will be trillions of dollars in new debt."
Every time The Kenyanesque Hawaiian was declared a naked emperor and enemy of free market capitalism, the left balked. Meanwhile Jugears and Co. have been overclocking the economic engine for three years with non-stop spending. This clown never wanted jobs growth, he wanted 'brakes' on the economy and America in general, they are his idealogical enemies.
taxocrats = traitors
RINOs = traitors


It's amazing to me that you blame Obama yet have no harsh words for say Reagan or Bush. He's essentially the same as them...how the fuck is he different? You're just an idiot man...give it up!

No True Scotsman

This movie reminds of Dreamscape (1984), and Runaway (1984), probably because they came out around the same time.

Seeing this again after just playing Dead Space 2 makes me think that this movie had to be a huge inspiration to the devs that made the Dead Space games.


Also, "The Thing" is actually a pretty kickass game for the first xbox and ps2 that serves as a sequel for the movie. John Carpenter helped with production and even has a character in it modeled after him. As a third-person survival game with lots of action, half-human alien-bug monsters, and the isolation of the Antarctic base it's basically an early Dead Space. If you see it in a bargain bin somewhere pick it up, good times will be had.

The only downside to flushing those $1.6 trillion down the toilet is a surplus of reserves on the market, possibly fueling some inflation in the (near) future. And he's correct in pointing out that with high unemployment and therefore stagnant/falling wages, the risk of runaway inflation is negligible, if not downright non-existant at this moment. In any case, raising the reserve requirement to suck reserves out of the market works just as nicely as buying them back.

People argued that it's just an accounting trick. So what? It's debt owed to yourself, interest paid to yourself through the treasury. Core inflation is low as it is, arguably even too low already. It's easy, simple, straight-forward; any reason not to do it?

But are people really against raising the debt ceiling? It's just an arbitrary number that has been raised over and over again, it has no meaning. The deals that might come along with it this time, those are fucking scary. And it's not just the Republicans, Obama is right up there on the frontline, pushing for even more radical cuts to Medicare spending and Social Security, as this article shows.

As for reducing the double mandate to stable prices only: look at the ECB. Those shitheads are even worse than the Fed in that regard. They take an additional 5% unemployment over an additional 0.5% inflation any day.

Wankers, the lot of 'em.

Wait... did he think that was just a regular exit or something? I didn't see any brake lights or signs of slowing down.


It's a scientific fact that pressing down a brake pedal is impossible while you're kissing your ass goodbye.

Total brake failure, I guess.

Ok... maybe i'm just not seeing the obvious here... but "Runaway Truck Ramp"?... this happens frequently enough that they actually have a ramp for it?


What's even more bizarre is that someone just happened to be filming one...

silly goose, you must live where it's flat!

On long, downward-sloped, high-grade highway sections you will see these... though hopefully better created/maintained than this one. If your brakes fail in a semi truck going down a 5% + slope for two miles you'd better hope they have runaway truck ramps or you're absolutely fucked.

runaway truck never coming back...
your brakes don't work so here's a gravel track...

The real message of this lamestream media (s)hit piece is the left is still terrified of Palin. Crippling unemployment, runaway inflation, soaring gas prices and unsustainable entitlements are no big deal to obamadrones, only Palin. Demoness!

While still a terrible disaster, it is being ranked behind Chernobyl in terms of magnitude.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_I_nuclear_accidents


I've been seeing posts on reddit about meltdowns in 3 or 4 of the cores. A full on china syndrome in the 1st reactor. There's radioactive sludge in a city outside of the 20km exclusion zone. http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/hebf2/fukushima_nuclear_core_meltdown_confirmed/

At this point there's so much bullshit here that I have to put on my fucking hazmat suit.

At this point, just arguing about how it is or is not like Chernobyl is a bunch of bullshit. It just muddies the fucking waters so much that no one knows what the fucking truth is.

People are saying it melted right after the quake, people are saying it melted sometime after the quake, people are saying it could be in a runaway state right now.

In short, I wouldn't trust jack shit the government of Japan says, or TEPCO (They have a monetary interest in making things sound less dangerous).
