An answer to a question no one asked!

If only he'd instead let us know how much sleep he got last night...

 

you DO realize that right now Eco is slapping himself on the back and congratulating himself for successfully fighting against a third term for Obama, right?

I may have to start watching it now.  Ferguson is a favorite of mine.  Such a great comic actor.

Oh wait...the IRS targeted Democratic groups too?

Like I mentioned earlier, what scares me the most in these cases is if a list of donors was demanded, as well as other financial data unrelated to the process of acquiring tax exempt status.   No matter who's targeted, it's wrong.  On that we all agree.  However, no one has even said Obama should be impeached over this, let alone that this was a directive from the White House...well, other than Eco and other fringe extremists.  However, don't try to imply that as he'll tell you you're not understanding him correctly.  Right before saying just that, of course.  

So, to summarize, you have nothing to contribute beyond yet another proclamation of your rabid hatred of all things non-GOP.  Got it.  Facts aren't really your forte.  We all know that.

There's one scandal:  the IRS.  Benghazi is only a scandal to the GOP attack dogs trying to find something to pull down Hillary Clinton.  Even Bush's former Secretary of Defense is mocking them for it.  Also, you'd think you would be a little pissed at the House majority that cut funding for Embassy security.  

As for the IRS situation, Obama has denounced it in very strong terms and publicly.  What else would you have him do?  Please, inform us.  

Also, it does bear repeating that absolutely NO ONE was denied the tax exempt status as part of the scrutiny.  Also, Karl Rove's group wasn't targeted at all (as well as numerous other conservative groups), so there goes the theory it was an attack on all conservatives.  It doesn't excuse it, no.  But those two facts does tend to discredit any belief it was an administration wide policy intended to keep conservative groups from obtaining tax exempt status, or as a way to get them ALL to disclose their donor lists (the more egregious offense in my opinion).

In the case of the DOJ going after sources in AP stories that had a little TOO much access to information, it seems like only yesterday that a bunch of GOP senators were demanding the DOJ go after sources in AP stories that had a little TOO much access to information.  Does that excuse what happened?  No.  But it does punch holes in your belief that this administration is solely to blame.

edit: fixed wrong link.  thanks gratch.

So you believe Obama himself is the one that directed the IRS office to scrutinize some conservatives?  You do realize that absolutely no one is making that claim, right?  Well, other than extremist conservatives like yourself, that is.

We know now that humans and Irathians have similar reproductive systems.

I'm not so sure about that.  The way she was grinding crosswise against the guy, I have a feeling something's aligned differently.

however Mad Men has caught me so i have not played the game or been anywhere near those forums for the past 4-5 days

(just finished season 2,really good)

Just remember:  All Americans are exactly like Don Draper.  While all English are exactly like Lane Pryce.

yep, based on the restaurant that everyone has probably forgotten about.

 there's a couple of ways this could go,

I'm voting for "horribly wrong".

Up since 2:30. Spent 90 minutes trying to fall back asleep tormented by the theme song from WKRP in Cincinnati in my brain. Don't ask me, cause I don't know.

just think of Charles in Charge.

Was that a euphemism?

I recently started playing, and have no issues whatsoever with the patches.

With a save game from the original Dragon's Dogma disc though?  Or just a new character?

Oh is the issue only with people who continued with their DD save?  I had DD, but I decided just to make a new character for DA (still got the bonuses, though, since it detected my DD saves).

I was under the impression it was new games created for DA too.

Really?  Crap...now i really am thinking I should return my unopened copy and wait.

Having seen the original and its sequel, and being familiar with Arnie and his proclivities, I could see him uttering the line "I always did wanna corn hole me a blind chick."

You believe a lot of things. 

We're talking about hospital procedures, not medical exams performed by your doctor.

Same thing for childbirth. That work for you?

Congratulations on being a very lucky man, I guess.

But not for Obama.  Hillary is getting attacked by the GOP so they can get her out of the 2016 running and position Rand for the run.  As for the IRS "scandal", that has nothing to do with Obama or his administration.  It was a branch office in Cincinnati, not an agency wide policy. It's a nice sound bite for Rush to scream about, but it won't result in anything.  And some bozo in an IRS branch office will just do the same thing again in the future with someone else.

Yeah, it's just people using an old DD save to continue on.  Something they said we could do but now appears borked for some.

I've not had insurance for the last year and we've found that in many cases providers will charges less because we're uninsured than we we would have been charged if we were insured.

You're an extraordinarily rare case then as there's a wealth of documented cases in that report in which health insurance companies were charged a shockingly low amount compared to the bills that the uninsured were presented with...and expected to pay.

wait...unless we take into account your next statement:

We've also compared bills on doctor's exams and the 'discount' that insurance companies gave us brought the costs down to still more than we pay with out them.

We're talking about hospital procedures, not medical exams performed by your doctor.

But you couldn't even price shop if you did have the time as Hospitals traditionally won't quote you a price for a procedure...or at least give you an all inclusive price.  Also, the discrepancy between what they actually charge insurance companies versus what they attempt to bill initially is absurdly different a lot of the time.  To me, healthcare seems like a corrupt monopoly.  Pardon the hyperbole, but it just amazes me.

Whether you're for or against Obama's attempts to reform health care through his methods, I think it's fairly obvious something needs to be done after this report came out recently.

It just boggles my mind that hospitals can charge whatever they feel like charging without any real oversight to reign them in.  I can't see how this should be allowed to continue.

You apparently haven't seen much of his work, have you?  Shannon is far more versatile than you give him credit for.  If you're familiar with only his work on Boardwalk Empire, you're only familiar with a very small part of his career.

there are some things that cannot be unseen (like Hepcat without his toupee'... so much shiny.

You know for a fact that this is a bald faced lie...wait...

...okay, just lie!

My locks are legendary in the world of professional beauticians.  I'm asked to speak at most major cosmetology conventions and my line of pomade made from diamond dust and pure joy is a best seller in most corners of the world (although friggin' Rastafarians keep me out of a few Caribbean nations).

Don't make me produce those pictures of you wearing an adult diaper out of necessity at Origins from that one year you went.

edit:  odd...i looked up "vore" and the resulting pages all had a .de at the end of their URL's.

Deep dish pizza and plenty of soda that day.  Going to sit down and have myself a marathon.

(Even if you've seen it already, go watch Dog Soldiers just to like werewolves again.

I prefer the classics.  So that's why An American Werewolf in London is always at arm's length at my place for such an emergency.  I also reach for 30 Days of Night whenever I get depressed about the state of Vampires in modern film.

Congratz kratz!

So we'll give the state govs MORE money to mismanage?

No, you'll give them the money you already owe them so that many can work towards not being woefully underfunded at the moment.

Well said.

Is hunted worth ten bucks?

Hepcat, we had homemade meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy, and biscuits.

Leave leftovers outside.  I'll swing by around 8.

I went with a Motorola Razr M a few weeks ago after putting off an upgrade for a year.  The problem was that Verizon no longer offers my unlimited data plan and buying a new phone meant switching plans or paying full price for the phone.  When the phone would no longer work with a USB charger, I had to finally give in.  The M was free though through Amazon as part of my 2 year upgrade, so that was what pushed me over the edge.  Well, that and the battery life.

Liking people who agree with you is such a fantastic way to populate your social circle.  I wish I could limit mine like that.  

Don't think that just because I don't like you I don't have people like you in my circles... they're just funny and original.

You're just saying that because you didn't get your full 11 hours of sleep.  I know you like me. 

That's pretty much what it was.  I caught it on showtime or something one night and thought I'd give it a shot because...well..werewolves.  Huge mistake on my part.

Liking people who agree with you is such a fantastic way to populate your social circle.  I wish I could limit mine like that.   

I generally sleep nine hours every night.  No kids FTW.

Nine?  I usually get 7 (although I do have bouts of insomnia that pops up every few weeks for a day or two) and if I sleep more than that, I actually feel a bit tired the following day.  I know a few others that have the same issue, so I wonder why that is.

Yeah?  I've been up since August 12, 2011.  AND I have Leprosy.  Oh, and my cable's out.  Did I mention the frequent Alligator attacks?

I feel I need to apologize for taking my bad mood out on the people here. I happened to be browsing GT when my husband brought a letter from our health insurance in for me to read, and I just got  rather shocked, and yes, angry, so I typed what I did when I usually just read and get on with things.

Appreciate that.     

Ditto...although I'm still waiting to find out what was for dinner. 

I'm narcoleptic so I end up usually getti.................................................

I've been around for a long time, both here and at OO. Don't post much anymore, but my opinion is as valid as any of yours. BTW, how many of you 'oh so fair minded people' bothered to watch any of the Benghazi hearings today? Or do you only watch the LSM and didn't even know about it. In case any of you forgot, 4 Americans died in that attack, and it was blamed on a stupid video no one had ever heard of. Now, I'm going to make my husband dinner, so just blast away as most of you usually do if someone doesn't fit your 'mold', or doesn't agree with your 'talking points'.

this crap about a hive mind that attacks everyone that doesn't agree with your opinions got old about the ninth time people like you and Eco attacked everyone for not agreeing with them.  Give it a rest.

As for the "trials" being held about the embassy deaths, it's the most repugnant kind of political grandstanding there is.  I think public opinion will surprise a lot of folks in the near future.  the average citizen is smarter than they think and they can see through this sham for what it really is.

Nice.  I don't want to know what happens when you flip the light off and on rapidly.
