uh huh

I’m sure the smoke covering your lungs on a daily basis does no harm.

The same with your mouth, gums and teeth.

Give me a break up advice.

The over use of ANYTHING is bad for you.

And, comparing, say, an aspirin for a headache, then driving, versus getting high than driving is really something a pot head would say. Walgreens, really? Again, give me a break. There has also been alcohol consumption for centuries, but alcohol still impairs and can kill. Stop denying the obvious.

I could care less what you put in or do to your body. If marijuana helps medicinally, for those that need it, so be it. But, if it affects innocent others, then it is a major concern. And, especially, if the taxpayers carry the burden, it should also be a concern for those having to pay taxes.

I am just so glad that my boss asked me to work on this project. I am so enjoying setting up the conference. I am thinking that I may have found something that I would like to do full time. Today I am meeting with the tent company boca raton people. They are going to tell me how they think I should set things up. They will also show me the tents that they have available for that weekend now.

I think you have to look at what he got right… and his record to first date advice (starting from his disasterous misadventure into the Japanese economy in the 90s) is nothing… not much of a legacy if you ask me.

60Min – We are Printing money

60Min – It is a common misconception the FED is printing money (maybe because you said so yourself?)

News – Subprime problem is contained

Humphrey Hawkins – (regarding a question about further QE) We at the FED never rule out anything…. ah except hiking rates before mid-2013… regardless of Inflation or economic data i suppose…

Listening to Bernanke talk about Gold is also very amusing… He still thinks it is a commodity… i guess that about sums him up entirely… academic with zero practical knowledge.

Again George,

financial services have been with us since the dawn of age. Even if we look at the Bible not as a theological document but as a historical account it is clear from its text that loans existed even at the time of Jesus. Several passages of the Bible mention loans and none of them say they were inherently evil. The origins of modern banking also first date advice back to the Middle Age, so nothing new and something that actually helped finance the industrial revolution. Economic activity is not a zero sum game and no one is drafted into economic activity (with the exception of Obamacare). Everyone benefits from it.

I would agree with this. I’m a precision shooter; relationship advice for women precision shooting, I don’t think guys have an advantage. But in shotgunning, guys probably do have an advantage because there’s undeniably more physicality to it.

I especially agree with your third point, that the observed numbers of men and women at the top of any standings are likely explained by the vastly different population sizes. Shooting appeals to more men than women and there are just many, many more men than women who shoot competitively. If we had equal numbers of men and women in the sport, then it might be useful to compare the numbers at the top.

The Westboro Baptist church has crossed the line. There are unwritten rules across the board relating to death and funerals. Even in war, the bombers stay away from Mash units. I equate the Baptist protestors as nothing higher than angry, uneducated hypocrites that claim to follow a religion where mocking the dead is acceptable. I certainly do not disagree that Westboro, and their congregation, should have the right to express their viewpoints, as that is what makes this country stand out as free advice. I just hope that one of their members does not lose a child and have to go to a funeral such as the one Albert Synder had to endure…but I have a feeling that most of the free world that does not engage in terrorism, would be above such an act. Mr. Synder, if you are reading this, my prayers are with you and your family. Those of us that are appreciative of your son’s actions to keep our country free, know where the chips will fall come judgment day.

Even if Obama were unilaterally to raise the debt management advice ceiling, investors likely would not buy any US debt in excess of the current ceiling. There would be a risk that a court would find that Obama did not have the authority and thus, the issuance of any debt in excess of the current ceiling would be ultra vires. In such a case, the US Treasury’s agreement to pay that debt would be void or voidable. Who would be so stupid as to buy that debt, especially without a significant haircut to compensate for the risk? (Asked differently, for how long can the savings of Eugene Robinson and a couple of law professors fund the US government?)

President Obama and Congress need to take a much deeper look at corporate taxes breaks in conjunction with lowering the overall corporate tax rate. Why do small business advice and medium sized business effectively pay much high tax rates, typically 35%, when larger companies with the help of their lobbyists pay much less? Especially when large companies are exporting jobs and small companies are the real job creators. It’s time for Congress to roll up its sleeves and work on real tax reform if our government wants to see real growth and investment in our economy – that’s politically difficult but it’s their job!

The thing that I like most about being able to get online Cash Advances is the fact that this makes them available even to people who can not leave their home for some reason. I have a disabled brother, and it always bothers me when I realize that there is a service that might be of value to him that he would not actually be able to use for the simple reason that he can not leave the house on his own.

The US/European-dominated IMF is an example of ‘misery loves company’. Hopefully, the Chinese government will talk to Brazilian economists before following the IMF’s advice god, as they told them the same thing back a few years. Hyperinflation resulted. Brazil’s central banker afterward gave a paper and talk at UCLA about the massive efforts to tame the mess….Japan slowed its vibrant growth to a crawl after following this policy during the past 20 years…..The US should not be anyone’s economic model, as the IMF has the same false ideology as the US’s current pack of academic economists…..All stimulus did for us was to massively increase our debt and the level of corruption between business and politicians.
