It's times like this when the tequila really needs to come out... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm not. A leak is a leak. There are avenues to take within an organization if you disagree with something that's being done on moral or legal grounds. Leaking information is not one of those avenues. They should be fired. NSA in particular is one organization where leaks have no place. You must be trusted to betray and those who leak information cannot be trusted. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Regardless of whom it damages politically, actually. I'm not following what you're alluding to, but I'm a bit tired so perhaps it will come to me. This was either a member of Congress or a CIA or NSA employee in all likelihood. They should be fired and spend a bit of time behind bars.

Actually, I suspect it's an NSA staffer perturbed at the possibility of an AF general running the CIA. Could be anyone. Whomever it is, they should have their clearances revoked immediately and spend a bit of time in prison. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

No - cancer itself. That would be cool!

One wonders why this was leaked at the same time General Hayden is also being nominated for Director of the CIA. One also wonders how those who were decrying the Plame non-leak and not decrying this leak of information can look at themselves in the mirror and not think 'hypocrite'.

I go with cancer too.

Tequila. That will make him feel better.

Of the three Bush folks in politics, I think he would be the best by far and away. Not this year though. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

GWB's political staff emails talking points out to his political appointees? One wonders how this may be considered news. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think the problem is your alcohol blood content is too high, in conjunction with a severely diminished rate of tequila intake. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Truly sick. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Today is a day that tequila drinking is promoted and encouraged. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm a horrendous JACKASS with long and sexy JACKASS ears.

Clicky Pat Buchanan has said a lot of wacky stuff sometimes, but this is a very good article. Read about Morales quite a bit in THE ECONOMIST over the past several months. Thoughts, anyone?

What an awesome holiday! I think it's tequila time this afternoon!

Happy Birthday Lisa! Hope you had a good one!

If you'd play around on the website that Darius started the thread with you'd find a link to the Concord Group which has some fairly good cost projections for SS, Medicare, and Medicaid (even if a partisan hack like Bob Kerrey is associated wtih the group, I breezed through the sight and they look like they are still pretty much in line with those I've seen elsewhere). I already posted OMB projections for Medicare/Medicaid. As I said earlier and repeat here - Clinton and the Congress restrained discretionary spending, especially during his second term. He also had an economy booming from the explosion of e-commerce, bringing in revenues galore. The economy didn't really start to sputter until the last two FY's his OMB oversaw. Small recession countered by GWB's tax cuts - the second of which I disagree with - and leaving us with the booming economy we have now. Please name some social programs under El Jefe Clintonista that are not funded now. The current increases in the deficit are due to out of control discretionary spending in some cases, costs of the GWOT, the acceleration of entitlement spending caused by the GWB prescription drug program, and the fact that baby boomers are starting to retire. As they retire over the next few years, mandatory spending will not increase fairly linearly as it has done for the past few decades. It will go up at a much greater rate and bankrupt us unless the entitlement programs themselves are reformed.

tequila to you, Dave!

I'm a bad-ass-JACKASS Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I like # 3 immensely. Also, tax all wire transfers back to Mexico at about 15%.

One wonders if you're posting in the correct thread. What have I evaded? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Still running from the facts I see. Run until your hearts content. Facts remain as they are. Fact: Discretionary Spending has been less than Mandatory spending since 1974. Fact: Mandatory spending is the primary cost driver for the budget deficit. Fact: Mandatory spending will increase with the retirment of the baby boomers. Fact: Those who decry cutting ineffective government programs have no credibility when speaking of deficit reduction. Fact: Requirements for mandatory spending are not set by presidents or congress considering a budget for a FY. They are set by their predecessors. Fact: The legislative and executive branches of government in unison (with the exception of a veto being overridden) are responsible for spending levels Fact: Democrats as well as Republican legislators and presidents are responsible for the current state of the deficit. Fact: Neither you nor Lucky have presented any data to disprove any of the above. Get back to me when you can do so.
