josef,
Obama and self deprecating humor? I’ve never seen an ounce of it from Obama. I can’t imagine him having the humility to poke fun at his own self. Too much arrogance and hubris. Al Gore is a whole different story. He was pretty funny when he poked fun at himself. Reagan too. But I’ve never seen it from Obama. The closest I saw too it was when someone asked him about how many points he usally scores in a b-ball game and his reply was that he was an assist man.

Bill Gates is the anti-christ. You ever heard that one? Used to be a popular conspiracy theory before the rise of google and other internet giants. I’ll ask sooth for his distinguished opinion on the matter.
As for gypsys hawking children be careful of disparaging the Romany. josef is very protective of them and as cited them as possibly being the most persecuted group of people ever. Plus I’m part Croatian gypsy ahem, romany that is. Grandpap was romany and came from Croatia.

Romany blood lines? Not that cool. My mom told me when I was young but not too young that culturally the romany were sorta the dogs of Europe and looked down upon by all. So I wasn’t ashamed our part of my culture but was just kind of aware of the rap on gypsies in Europe and it wasn’t good. Kinda like the way the English used to regard the Irish as nothing more than dirt.

If you read anything about Joe Kennedy Sr. you will find that this was a viscious, brutal, self promoting, pompous, and flat out evil man in his ambitious pursuit of wealth and power. Most of the man’s misdeeds are well documented. For example no one disputes the money he made on insider trading or the enormous sums he made in bootleggin liquor. I read a book on him but not the whole book. Put it down a third of the way through because I was so digusted with this despicable man.

A couple of those accusations of Hannity lying are from Media Matters which is a far left outfit that plays fast and loose with the truth and also with Jon Stewart who isn’t exactly a bastion of objectivity either. 2.3 million results isn’t impressive either if there are at least 60 million Americans who categorize themselves as liberal. When I get time though I actually will peruse through some of the other criticisms of him- just not from an outfit like Media Matters or Jon Stewart.

Interesting historical tidbit I saw somewhere. From conception to finish the Empire state building went up in 1 year.

If you had to build the Hoover dam today I do wonder how many govt permits, environmental impact studies, and other hoops you would have to jump through to get it done in today’s environment. Speaking of nuisance lawsuits and red tape how many new nuke plants have gone up in the last 30 years?

Headline (CNN): “Obama to offer help for students buried in debt”
“The White House announced on Tuesday two new measures the Department of Education will start offering in January to help college graduates climb out of their student loan debt hole.
One of the proposals would push up the start date for more favorable terms on a special loan repayment program based on income, said White House domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes. Another measure would encourage graduates with two or more different kinds of federal loans to consolidate them and get a small break on interest rates.”
I have a better idea !

I actually have read some things from media matters that I found to be credible so I won’t completely box myself in. Sheesh- You read Newsmax? I don’t even read that. I view it with the same suspicion as I do media matters. Some of the articles in both may be true but what is and isn’t true is too much to go through to try and decipher.
I watch faux news, CNN, and tune in to the network news several times a week. The network news I kinda switch up a bit but I find Diane Sawyer at ABC so blatantly left wing that I automatically discount much of what she says. What did it for me was when the tornadoes hit Tuscaloosa and Joplin and Sawyer was fuming and implying that there had to be an obvious connection between some random but deadly tornados and global warming. She even tried to browbeat the meterologist into going along with a linkage between the 2. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. The meterologist had a shocked look on his face that she believed this and was trying to get him to agree with it but he politely dismissed your theory in a gentlemanly manner.

That one in Japan I think was built in 72 or 1982. Interesting story about it. 2 American engineers walked off the job decades ago citing a faulty design structure and stating the plant would be unsafe in the event of an earthquake but if I remember correctly they disapproved of the plant design regardless of a quake or tsunami event. But that site not only was poorly built but had the misfortune of being built in a zone where it never should have been built due to tsunami and quake concerns. But even then outside of Chernobyl the safety record of nuke power worldwide is very good.

I’m with you. I would love to see complete solar and wind use. Unfortunately its been around a lot longer than you think and its simply not proving feasible and doesn’t look that way for quite awhile if ever. The choice in the shorter and intermediate term is very simple. Burn fossil fuels or go nuke which does create radioactive waste but that waste can easily be stored away. If the French who are very green can get 80% of their power from nukes which is clean and have plenty of space to safely store the waste then there is no reason why we can’t do the same. No reason whatsoever. We do it allready after all and get 20% of our power from nukes. WIth that I am outta here.
