Does Hack live in a shack in the mountains?

[AlabamAlum]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Jungle Rat]

It was for the unibomber.

It was for the unibomber.

Not until his brother ratted him out.

By the way, the hydrate hypothesis theory is a weeks old scientific theory, and is only now being discussed by global warming scientists. I suggest you Google the term.

Heh. From what I can find that theory had a shorter run than Hangover 2 .

Exactly

[Hacksaw]

Suddenly Bill Cunningham is a reputable source. Hmmm...

[Hacksaw]

I noticed that Cunningham also said in that clip that Kasich is a good man and that he will be voting for him again in the next election.

[TheBigMook]

The point was that even a right winger like Cunningham thought Kasich went too far... yet you ditto heads in the Something Forum thing the voters of Ohio are a bunch of commies for repealing SB5.

[Professor Tiger]

I don't think the voters in Ohio are communists for repealing SBS. I think they just decided to become Greeks.

"Eyes Right" - A lone Belgian boy waits to salute Canadian troops passing by who had been attending a memorial service. What happens is pretty classy. The "eyes right" command is the biggest compliment troops on parade can pay and is usually reserved for dignitaries.

Referencing logic in a debate w/children will result in you being called a racist/brown shirt...et al.

[It's me Karen]

Auggie, that was great. Very moving.

I get that. Maybe it did. I'm not familiar with the details of the bill. However, good luck trying to pass a bill that doesn't allow the public sector unions to hold the government (and, by extension, the taxpayers) hostage and have it NOT be characterized as going too far. The unions always scream bloody murder when they don't get everything they want.

My point was more of a response to the notion that John Kasich is some sort of extraordinarily bad character. I thought it was somewhat humorous that the guy in the video you posted went out of his way to point out that Kasich is a good guy who deserved to be re-elected.

[Hacksaw]

I wonder just how many drug overdoses there have been at Occupy protests across the country. There have been four reported here in Portland, alone. There have also been numerous arrests for drug possession, assault and, in one case, a molotov cocktail being thrown at a building.

[AlabamAlum]

Well, these people have reasonable demands, Hack. Free college, healthcare, forgiveness on all student loans and mortgages.

[Hacksaw]

Yeah, they want the top 1% to pay for everything. And they are seemingly oblivious to the simple fact that the richest 1% don't have enough money to keep up with how fast our government spends money now.

[AlabamAlum]

There are plenty of things to protest. For example, some of the predatory lending and credit schemes that the big banks are known for. That has a fix. 100% forgiveness for my $300,000 in student loans so I can get a MFA in 16th century French literature? Not so much.

[Hacksaw]

And just in case anyone reading this thinks that you're exagerating...
