You mean you don't pack in the nude? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Skymama denies me flirtations...RPT denies me belly rubs...the Lakers deny me a job... sniff...sniff...

I think I had my first one at jump # 50 something...second cutaway-handle-pulled-out-in-hairball-induced one at around 300 something. Avoid terminal reserve rides at all costs. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Ok....she never called me that...it was a mischievous Anvil embellishment... to my face anyway.... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

...when I dropped of my rig to get a reserve repack...I was heading out to the parking lot when I spied.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SKYMAMA! She of course, said "Hello Vinny, you JACKASS!" and then introduced me to some people before heading off to flirt.

Old enough to serve your country in the military, be prosecuted as an adult, and vote - then you're DEFINITELY old enough to drink alcoholic beverages. Actually I support the right of a parent to determine when their kid can have alcohol. Why the hell should the gov't be involved at all? I think a lot of the stupidity stemming from alocohol that occurs here in the US is due to the 21 y/o drinking age. I think lowering it would initially be painful, with an increase in DUI/DUI fatalities, but I think in the long run the benefits to our society would be great.

Chill dude. If the guy is laughing whilst calling you a dumbass then you're not that much of a dumbass. Laugh with him after a 'dammit! How could I fuck that up!?!?' and then ask him for some advice on how not to be a dumbass again. Self-deprecation is a virtue sometimes - whenever you've done something dumb is one of them. Even if the guy is an a-hole, he might have some important knowledge to pass onto you that could save your life.

Get well soon! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I HATE the NBA! They are prejudiced against short people! They are still under an Anvil Boycott that will NOT end until they apologize for YEARS of hatred and oppresion! SHORT POWER! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Seeing clips of RR shown on the news makes me realize once again what bozos we have around these days. He was a true orator and a great, great, great, great, great, great, great (ad infinitum) President. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

The first time I jumped with Amazon she and I were the only two on the load who got together in the air...we were both low.

What does SS have to do with the deficit? Learn more. The link you posted has as much to do with SS shortfall projections over next few years than ALGORE did with discovering Love Canal. Ahhh...so you admit that Bush's package costs a lot - as we conservatives all know and are ticked at him over. Perhaps sKerry can complain about deficits while socializing medicine as well. ROFLMFAO. If he has spare time with negotiating new trade agreements that force foreign nations to abide by stricter environmental standards....bwwwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Though I believe it is well past time for the Pope to retire and he's made some mistakes as of late, he has been a good Pope and has done some good things. He's about to croak - let GWB do something nice for him.

Better, but not quite. Now add the baby boomers and the SS fiasco into your thought process and try and blame the rising deficit on the tax cuts. Can't be done. SS and MEDICARE are going to drive the deficits higher than projected - I guarantee it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Very nice. See my previous post to PK. As the recession ends, revenues will rise in spite of the tax cuts. It is inevitable.

Next time say 'Bad Plaything! No belly rub for Vinny! Bad!' Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I thought the second tax cut's elimination of the double taxation of corporate dividends was a horrible idea. The first one gave tax relief where it was needed. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I just had to talk with my best friend about his alcohol problem a few months ago. It can really fuck up people's lives. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

No you didn't answer my question. You began to, but stopped WAAAAAAAY short. I asked you what federal revenues have historically done following tax cuts. Looking at two instances (GWB's 1st and 2nd tax cuts, the latter of which I didn't support the structure of) doesn't do so, though it does start. If you'd actually answered the question, you would have found that following tax cuts federal revenues actually increase historically. This is true for a myriad of reasons. You gave two examples historically close together (though I didn't check your data, I just assumed it to be correct). To answer your question, you will always increase your deficit if you maintain spending constant and reduce your income. It is your pretension that cutting taxes decreases your income that I dispute. The current decrease was due to recession - not tax cuts. Though I still think the structure of the second one was stupid.

The Friday Haiku the right way to start the day then end it with booze

This is too good. If D-Day Had Been Reported On Today by William A. Mayer Tragic French Offensive Stalled on Beaches (Normandy, France - June 6, 1944) - Pandemonium, shock and sheer terror predominate today's events in Europe. In an as yet unfolding apparent fiasco, Supreme Allied Commander, Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower's troops got a rude awakening this morning at Omaha Beach here in Normandy. Due to insufficient planning and lack of a workable entrance strategy, soldiers of the 1st and 29th Infantry as well as Army Rangers are now bogged down and sustaining heavy casualties inflicted on them by dug-in insurgent positions located 170 feet above them on cliffs overlooking the beaches which now resemble blood soaked killing fields at the time of this mid-morning filing. Bodies, parts of bodies, and blood are the order of the day here, the screams of the dying and the stillness of the dead mingle in testament to this terrible event. Morale can only be described as extremely poor--in some companies all the officers have been either killed or incapacitated, leaving only poorly trained privates to fend for themselves. Things appear to be going so poorly that Lt. General Omar Bradley has been rumored to be considering breaking off the attack entirely. As we go to press embattled U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt's spokesman has not made himself available for comment at all, fueling fires that something has gone disastrously awry. The government at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is in a distinct lock-down mode and the Vice President's location is presently and officially undisclosed. Whether the second in command should have gone into hiding during such a crisis will have to be answered at some future time, but many agree it does not send a good signal. Miles behind the beaches and adding to the chaos, U.S. Naval gunships have inflicted many friendly fire casualties, as huge high explosive projectiles rain death and destruction on unsuspecting Allied positions. The lack of training of Naval gunners has been called into question numerous times before and today's demonstration seems to underlie those concerns. At Utah Beach the situation is also grim, elements of the 82nd and 101st Airborne seemed to be in disarray as they missed their primary drop zones behind the area believed to comprise the militant's front lines. Errant paratroopers have been hung up in trees, breaking arms and legs, rendering themselves easy targets for those defending this territory. On the beach front itself the landing area was missed, catapulting U.S. forces nearly 2,000 yards South of the intended coordinates, thus placing them that much farther away from the German insurgents and unable to direct covering fire or materially add to the operation. Casualties at day's end are nothing short of horrific; at least 8,000 and possibly as many as 9,000 were wounded in the haphazardly coordinated attack, which seems to have no unifying purpose or intent. Of this number at least 3,000 have been estimated as having been killed, making June 6th by far, the worst single day of the war which has dragged on now--with no exit strategy in sight--as the American economy still struggles to recover from Herbert Hoover's depression and its 25% unemployment. Military spending has skyrocketed the national debt into uncharted regions, lending another cause for concern. When and if the current hostilities finally end it may take generations for the huge debt to be repaid. On the planning end of things, experts wonder privately if enough troops were committed to the initial offensive and whether at least another 100,000 troops should have been added to the force structure before such an audacious undertaking. Communication problems also have made their presence felt making that an area for further investigation by the appropriate governmental committees. On the home front, questions and concern have been voiced. A telephone poll has shown dwindling support for the wheel-chair bound Commander In Chief, which might indicate a further erosion of support for his now three year-old global war. Of course, the President's precarious health has always been a question. He has just recently recovered from pneumonia and speculation persists whether or not he has sufficient stamina to properly sustain the war effort. This remains a topic of furious discussion among those questioning his competency. Today's costly and chaotic landing compounds the President's already large credibility problem. More darkly, this phase of the war, commencing less than six months before the next general election, gives some the impression that Roosevelt may be using this offensive simply as a means to secure re-election in the fall. Underlining the less than effective Allied attack, German casualties--most of them innocent and hapless conscripts--seem not to be as severe as would be imagined. A German minister who requested anonymity stated categorically that "the aggressors were being driven back into the sea amidst heavy casualties, the German people seek no wider war." "The news couldn't be better," Adolph Hitler said when he was first informed of the D-Day assault earlier this afternoon. "As long as they were in Britain we couldn't get at them. Now we have them where we can destroy them." German minister Goebbels had been told of the Allied airborne landings at 0400 hours. "Thank God, at last," he said. "This is the final round."

That's nice. Good work. Incomplete, but more than I expected. Now put recession start and stop dates in there, expand your very very very very very very basic model and continue on your learning journey. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Your creative mind is still at work. Tax cuts do not cause deficits. Spending causes deficits. When your man Kerry talks deficits while proposing trillions in spending, I laugh at him. Hard. Look at what federal revenues have historically done before and after tax cuts and get back to me. State budgetary problems are their own to solve - not the federal government's. Everytime sKerry or anyone else infers such to be a federal problem I laugh. Hard. I am dead sexy. Just dead sexy. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Bwwwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha Tax cuts causing deficits...state deficits caused by the federal government...the Executive Branch spending us into insolvency all on its lonesome withing broad guidelines....dear GOD what creativity! Your man Kerry is angry about the Bush performance on education when his beloved senior Senator from Massachusetts wrote the education bill. Now that's funny. What's even funnier is that Kerry's powerful union backers - the NEA - are without question the largest impediment to education reform today. Everyone does have the opportunity to go to college. There is not one college in America that will deny anyone the right to fill out the application for admission. I really like this one: Just because John Kerry voted 'yea' on a piece of legislation, it is wrong to conclude that he agrees wholeheartedly with every single provision of that legislation, or that he wholeheartedly disagrees with every provision in every bill on which he voted 'nay'. It just doesn't work that way. And this should be clear to anyone with more than a sixth-grade understanding of our government. Of course it should - keep at it and you'll get it soon, I have great confidence. What should be clear to you is that Senator Kerry and Kennedy and Dascle et al had the opportunity to speak about such funding during the entire process and use their offices to bring it to the attention of the public. They didn't. And then grow up to live in poverty. In poverty and better educated in mathematics without benefit of computers in the classroom. OOOOOh I'm dead sexy.

# of calls from the media and lefties after Janet Reno's Waco fiasco.........one she ordered...one in which people were killed....including children.... Talk about selectivity in criticism from the media... Bwaaaaahahahahahahahaaaa
