3 mile run. Check. Grocery store and gas purchase. Check. Liquor store run for case of Heineken, Paulaner, and Grey Goose. Check. Shower, check. Now let the games begin.

This should be a good weekend. Maybe bar later.

They just can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar.

No vodka tonight for me. I'll have that tomorrow. Big day in sports.

Retards vs. Jews in Manchester

Milan vs. Juve

Michigan State vs. Iowa

Mizzou vs. Nebraska

Preds vs. Red Wings

Michigan vs. Penn State

Oregon vs. USC


Pretty good, but I've seen better. Good enough reason to drink and enjoy sports.

I think I'm having a booze free weekend.
:(

The question is: Has he been any good?
That's a better question.

And once again, the answer is no.

Mostly the same policies as Bush, and his healthcare plan has only raised costs while allowing huge multinationals like McDonalds to be exempt from paying into it. The plan isn't communist, it's fascist, so the Retardlicans are wrong. And the fact we have no real plan for the economy besides quantitive easing and hence currency debasement is the most scary fact of all for me.

Yeah, he was correct in the aspect that health care does need reformed. But it's not a reform if you don't have a public option and you don't eliminate/re-work medicare/medicaid. It was a severely half-assed attempt. The only good things in the bill are the raise of age limits to 26 and the requirement that all citizens carry insurance.

The raise in cost of health care is being over-dramatized. Costs have risen, although though for most it's a small raise. The truth is health care costs were always rising and will continue to do so.

Isn't the US government trying to pressure China to stop debasing their currency? Only to go do it themselves?
Our government claims China is a "currency manipulator" because they buy US Dollars on the open market. Since the Yuan is tied to the US Dollar, their currency will immediately depreciate. Japan also tries to manipulate their currency by selling Yen on the open market, in effort to debase it to drive exports up, but it has rarely worked for decades.

While on the other hand, our central bank tries to debase our currency by printing Federal Reserve Notes to buy US Treasuries. Not only UST's, but also other assets that banks hold. This successfully drives the dollar down and commodities up in value, and that supports stock prices. But that's what the Obama administration and the large banks and FED want, as that creates the illusion that the economy is actually recovering. But it is not. Instead, the purchasing power of the average saver and citizen is reduced.

So it's all bullshit. It's all a huge fraud. Our FED is a huge currency manipulator and they know what they're doing. Americans can't seem to understand this fact so they have no idea why their money isn't worth as much as it was previously.

EDIT: and this is why the economy is a huge Ponzi scheme. With the FED buying treasuries the government can't technically go bust, but if the FED is the only buyer of government debt, then we will have hyperinflation of the dollar where oil goes to $300 per barrel along with all other food commodities and everything else.

The average American is too busy to get into the intricacies of the situation. But I think most now understand the end result.

It's really unfortunate those guys were given a walk by the government, talk about de-regulation at it's highest.

@ FredX: You should got to a coffee shot and belt that as loud as you can. Then put it on youtube.
I'd be offending 95% of the population here(including myself), but people will probably let it pass, because i'd be offending Jews too :D
