Aint No Right

Make public elections or campaigns? Elections are already open to the pubic. If the campaign process were publicly funded as well, everyone would be working with the same amount of money, which, theoretically, would allow for a focus greater focus on policy positions and would require a far-less ob...

Publicly fund elections and restrict campaigning to 60 day/2 month period; require media to provide candidates equal access.

Hilarious, P ^^^; I took a picture of the same exact thing just because it was so cheesy. The Dobel thing, really, was the weakest part of the night. Downstairs bar had a banner for Dobel featuring Perry across the front of it and the bathrooms were plastered with Dobel shot specials. Then, and this...

Great write-up, P.

Just a couple notes to add. The kid off to the side whom you mention was one of PerryEtty's kids.

Watching The New Number 2 was also pretty strange given how much Dhani Harrison looks like his dad.

Here's the problem with the notion of legitimate questions concerning citizenship and the US Presidency. Given the constitutional requirement that the President be a US Citizen by birth, it is certainly legitimate that ALL candidates verifiably meet that requirement through the established means. I ...

Just saw this posting for an after party at the Viper Room sponsored by Dobel, of course. It looks like Perry is hosting (maybe?).

Very clever, as my son would say.

PM'd you, too.

Eric would get paid.

Ding ding ding! I think we have a winner. I didn't even consider this, but it just makes too much sense. Why allow him any of the money when they can just re-record it?

and come off as dicks in the process. A win-win.

PM'd you.

One of my co-workers just informed me that her "underwears" are falling. I said I didn't hear her and asked to repeat. Again, she said"underwears" :eyes: I've noticed that people who pluralize underwear for singular use are usually Italian. This co-worker does happen to be Italian. :lol: To be fair...

Maybe us idiots just don't think Obama has done a good job yea, he's done nothing in 4 years. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/march_april_2012/features/obamas_top_50_accomplishments035755.php So tell me, who did you vote for in 2004?? Because that idiot did nothing but get us into a whole...

Nice quip from Bill Maher on the third debate:

Mitt's entire debate strategy: What he just said, but from a white guy

Money is in touring, not album sales these days. I'm pretty sure it's been discussed here in relation to other bands at some point. I can't blame them for playing too many shows. I'm just waiting for the day that they start doing the nothing-but-cash-grab shows that seem to be the thing these days, ...

It's hard, really hard, for me to look at people who make any statement with the phrase "legitimate rape" (excepting its critique) as anything less than bat-shit crazy. :crazy: And, it's really disheartening to hear someone do so, so blatantly blinded by ideology, let along his ('cause it's almost a...

Obama's in trouble. I thought so too. but all the immediate feedback seemed in his favor. Guess tomorrow may be more telling. In my estimation, O. did rather well in this debate--confident, determined. He's not too assailable on foreign policy, at least from a right flank. There's plenty to critiqu...

Well, here we go again. These debates have had an impact at least in the polls....dramatically in Gallup. If you take the Gallop on its face, it is indeed dramatic. But everything I have read over the last week, aside from that poll, discusses it as an outlier, suggesting that the general vote is p...

i could be wrong but i thought that when ripple came out that eric was not thrilled about the dead .. and he chose not to participate when dave perry and steve made a short attempt at ripple live back in the old days .. funny cuz whole lotta love and ripple are 2 live songs with like zero bass on t...

I'm really trying to understand two things: 1. What is a fair amount for taxes on the wealthy 2. Why is there what I perceive to be as so much anger towards the wealthy I respect your views and those of others on here, even when we don't agree on things, but I can't say that I feel the same comes b...

Thanks for the positive affirmation, y'all. Though I am sure nothing I said will change anyone's mind, at least it should bring some clarity to the "facts" being discussed...

Wrong it is the same source of money. You made $1mm taxed at 35% you take home $650k. You invest that $650k ten years later you sell the investment for $2mm, you pay tax on the $1,350,000 in gains. You continue this until you die, at which point the estate is worth $6mm. The estate will pay tax aga...
