Game Theory says we don't gamble on diverting the asteroid entirely, we should cooperate with gravity but aim it someplace useless
while I'm sure if all the multimillionaire global executive types might be dangerous if all unemployed at once, they might form COBRA or SPECTRE or something,
since they really just make their money coordinating and supporting what hundreds of millions of lesser slobs do, and maybe it could carry on without somebody speculating on them doing it...
next time we are confronted with the collapse of the upper 1%, which we will before 2025
I say we let it happen

Jindal was given a rebuttal to an Obama state of the union and bombed, according to many.
damn now Gary Coleman is comatose ![]()
there you go again being too PURE to support the great conservative Newt Gingrich [genuflect, bow, sign of cross]
as if YOU can decide what to think and then judge your betters! Obey damn you! ya mule!
If you don't NEED that money, okay if we don't borrow it from China to give it to you? Speaking as a plutocratic right winger, when I was a boy we figured Wall Street, Detroit, Chicago AND Silicon Valley were gonna be radioactive smoke at the same time, and the USA would still make it, so I don't buy into this "omg we gotta print $123124412341234123 Trillion or all the banks in the world explode at same time, and that'd be WORSE than buying bread with a wheelbarrow full of cash!!!!11!"
JFK went to Berlin and said "I'm a Berliner" which was cute. he did NOT say "wow this makes Boston look like shit" which would be disloyal (though probably Berlin 1961 probably had fewer socialists than massachusetts.)
He definitely did not say "well, you guys tell me what to do and we'll follow" which is a stupid kissass lie if fake, and treachery of American interests if true
we should be richer, fatter and ruder than anyplace on earth, and if not, we gotta find out who botched it
should slap herself
we sure as hell ain't looking to follow the "leader" if its the EU. Biden is over there to prop up the euro. it would not exist without American dollars. if that's "arrogant" to say so, it is the arrogance of competence. sadly it appears this administration is being led by the nose.
so he should slime his own country to win a slap in the face from Europe?
does anybody feel Biden made a heartwarming gesture? you describe it as "random buttkissing", and that's the best he could hope for
why should an American Vice President kiss butts randomly?
has no phone other than his 976 line
I'd argue more in that thread. I would enjoy hearing you explain why wealth distribution doesnt extend so far down as free beer for IC forum people ![]()

James Lileks:
Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Brussels, tried to be a gracious guest and ended up reminding us how some see America: it
ADAM: Based on the latest survey of Freedonia, using aerial doppler radar to map cropland, I can estimate its caloric yield and therefore, its population in the Middle Ages.
BAKER: Based on my experience in Central America with the Peace Corps, teaching acoustic guitar to guerrillas, I believe Freedonia had twice as many people as you figure, each eating half what you think is the minimum for survival.
CHARLES: Based on extensive study of Freedonian folkways, I believe Freedonia was continually resettled by colonists from surrounding areas, each of whom brought distinct volksungs and crafts, before starving to death in the bogs and yielding their abandoned villages to new settlers.
DAVID: Calculating the barge traffic flowing through modern Freedonia, and guessing how much slower a barge would be 1000 years ago, I can estimate the internal population of medieval Freedonia plus or minus 50%.
ERIN: Examining the lore of medieval Freedonia from a Marxist-feminist perspective develops the realization that Freedonia was entirely populated by male chauvinist pigs.
FARAD: I found mud bricks in Freedonia that look exactly like mud bricks from Timbuktu. These dudes were black like me. And they had lasers.
GILBERT: After twenty years of internal colloquoy with the writings of Foucault, I comprehend that we are unable to conceptualize the subjective experience of those men and women, who, so we believe, dwelt upon that landscape which we, in our limited understanding of their awareness, mislabel "medieval Freedonia".
HOWARD: I have done no research since my master's thesis on the caloric value of beer in the medieval diet, but I am one helluva lecturer, and I got more grad students than all of you put together.
CHAIR: I applaud you all on keeping the fraud going. Not that I like you, because you all want my job. We got 7 "serious" lectures and Beer Guy for Homecoming. That'll justify scheduling a hall each week this quarter and that justifies our department funding. Well done!

I 'll have to recreate some snark I posted elsewhere 7 years ago
