Bacon should not touch Twinkies. Ever. Part of me is wondering what that means, but in consideration of who posted it, I'm guessing that my pure-as-the-driven-snow brain is better off without that knowledge. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

... I guess if you think the drunken spending that went on the last 8 years makes this bill ok to go ahead with, well, you and I will have to disagree Perhaps you missed the first five words of my post. Blues, Dave No, I did not miss it, but you took the time to qualify your response in the way you did. Why? I didn't qualify my opposition, I simply pointed out that I'm laughing at the hypocrisy of those who are now screaming about spending but who weren't when their guy was in the driver's seat. I was opposed to Bush's excessive spending and I'm opposed to Obama's excessive spending. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm opposed to this package on the principle that I think the government should stay out of such things. However, I'm laughing my ass off at all the Republicans, especially talk show/fox news people, who are using this as a launching point about how this is typical Democrat socialist spending. They're throwing a complete fit to pin this on those nasty "liberals" and conveniently forgetting just how much their guy spent in the last 8 years, including these kind of bailout funds in recent months.

What he said. The frequent and irresponsible use of cameras in recent years has had an appalling effect on nightly shenanigans and nekkidness in general. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What he said. Outside of gifts, suprise parties etc, things you don't want your signficant other finding out about are usually things you shouldn't be doing. One should either do such things at home with their significant other, reach an agreement with their significant other about doing such things with other people, or not do such things at all. Those are the only three decent options I can think of. Which brings up a reasonable question: what about strictly on-line relationships, especially (but not only) if they get into IM sex sessions? I can't think of any reason they should be treated differently than any other activity, so I'll go with what I said in the post above. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Some of the World of Warcraft stuff is absurd, but the general goals seem pretty solid to me. If my employer could challenge, assess, and reward my performance as quickly as WoW, I'd enjoy work more and likely be more productive. The comment about risk is right on though...the consequences of a world-class screw-up at work are substantially higher than a few minute hike back to my body in WoW. However the committment I have to not disappointing party-members in the game would be a nice improvement to teaming in the workplace. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Happy birthday Cindy! As a gift, the next time I see you I'll share my meat with you. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

No...let's just call it what it is. 13% of 800 billion won't do crap in the next 2 years so why not just get out of the way, quit taxing hard working folks instead of giving "tax rebates' to people who don't pay taxes, let poorly run companies fail instead of bailing them out, and let a free market economy do what it is designed to do. I'm with you on most of that, but I think we should continue taxing hard working folks (and not so hard working) until we've paid off the ridiculous debts our elected officials have accumulated for us. It's time to pay the piper. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Given the uproar over previous strikes into Pakistan, it's my guess that the commanders in charge of such attacks pinged up the chain for any changes in policy upon inauguration of their new boss. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

maybe i'm straying a little bit here, but a 21,000 page application?! how far off from normal is this? how can any one person or group of people collectively fully comprehend 21,000 pages ina reasonable amount of time? if just the application to do the study is this long, imagine how long the results of the study will be. maybe this is a clue as to why the government is so expensive to run and why our prescriptions are so expensive. A document of that size almost assuredly contains many smaller documents in their entirety, most of which likely include large quantities of data, e.g. results that were produced as a result of animal studies. There is also most likely a significant amount of boilerplate compiled from previous applications, e.g. generic language about the nature of QA/QC measures, safety & health, etc. Personally, it's not uncommon for me to churn out multiple 40-100 page documents in a week. This week I "wrote" two 70+ page documents that are addendums to a 300 page document. It wouldn't take *that* many similar iterations to add up to 21,000 pages.

There's a good idea...raise it by 300% and I bet things will be substantially better next year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I could do better. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What if, in order to be better than your opponent, you have to become like him? Or, more precisely, do some of the things your opponent does, in order to win? If those things are what you're fighting over, doing them would mean you've lost, or are at least undeserving of the win. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It sounds like the requirements are considerably less stringent than they previously were for an I/E rating. It also sounds like I'd have to do around 40 more rides to get the rating, and I think that's a perfectly reasonable demand to place on someone who wants to decide who should and should not get an instructor rating.

Thanks for your unsubstantiated opinion. One of mine is that in order to win a war, you must be better than your opponent, and at all costs avoid becoming him. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

How many babies did he kill and what were their names, did you get any pictures? Wow, you do not want us to go into Iraq or any other country to spread our democracies but you are OK with us spreading our kill baby attitudes. I get it That makes no sense at all. If organization A provides a variety of services, including abortion, they have been ineligible to receive US funds for some years now. If suddenly we turn the tap back on, how are we spreading "our kill babies attitude"? To paraphrase Jeff Spicoli, wouldn't it be *their* "kill babies attitude"?
