Go rent "Downfall"

Except the social security house IS going to fall down.

I knew a faculty advisor who always got the $$$ for his office.  He always asked for more than what he needed.  So when he went in to argue budgets, he always had to admit he was guesstimating costs, but certainly he was within the realm of possibility and not beyond reality...for instance, he wanted 100 new chairs for guest lectures.  Do you have more than 100 people show up, he was asked. He said he was hopeful.  The budget chief rebuked him for being greedy and ignoring realities and told him he would get 20 new chairs and if more people came, he could always borrow from other offices.  And then the budget guy felt very good about cutting so much waste out of the new budget.

But our guy got the 20 chairs he needed.

And every few years he would get mad with the budget head and say "I told you I needed 100 chairs, I got 20.  I told you we needed 3 assistants, we got 1.  I told you we needed six visiting lecturers, we got three.  When will we get full funding? it's a disgrace!" and the budget chief told him nobody got everything but he had been patient and he'd see what could be done to help them out this coming year...

All the Dems need to do to game Republicans looking to play it smart, is jump waaaay left, adn the Republicans would be the champions of "the middle" and meet them halfway... and make it clear that EVERYBODY wants to go left, just a question of how far...when we don't want it or need it.

Look at how amnesty is playing out.  Obama oughta be a dead duck for promising amnesty...but too many Republicans are on record as open to a deal, so they can't attack him for what they cheered Bush for doing...

In my day we had the 80s and we were damn glad to have em

I turn 35 on Sept 4

hey I heard hairs turn grey because of alpha radation to the follicles, but why would they turn grey first, they got the least sunshine

"no 'nuke the bstads' comments plz."

I think that's the problem, the Pentagon has decided "Given that we're not gonna fight the whole population and work within a national government that wants a truce, how do we win" and then they shuffle projects around like any failed corporation.

Today Adm Mullen Chairman of JCS said he's concerned with public support for the war falling. Dumbass this comes AFTER we hear the US is negotiating iwth the Taliban and after YOU testified to Congress" There is no military solution to this conlfict:"  if the WAR won't resolve the WAR with you leading it, why should we support the WAR?

lives in Europe, just like a Nazi

You have already been answered and you retreat into leftwing romanticism about just causes enabling any method.

You were answered fully in the Tamil thread when you argued that a minority who didn't get enough fat jobs, didn't get what it considered to be a fair share of a national budget, failed to persuade the public its cause mattered, and got its ass kicked on the battlefield, was enititled to blow up women and children because its cause was just.  The fact that it was a defeated and discredited cause only legitimated its crimes in your view. You said we had no right to demand a defeated and unpopular group fight humanely.

You can't accept the logic because it would mean you'd have to agree that your own views would not be upheld, and you'd rather have terrorism than capitalist democracy.

too late

Didn't realize "gimme two weeks and I'll have us a war with those sonsabitches and make it look like their fault" was a quote from "patton" when patton wanted to kick the crap out of the Red Army, which my dad said had US theater audiences cheering in 1974

Because east doesn't know American pop culture

Just like a nazi
