Yes, the truth really is inconvenient, isn't it? Wonder what all the
lib media is going to do when they finally realize just how badly
they've been deceived by these frauds...

Someone hacked in to the files of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) based at
the University of East Anglia. A very large file (61 mb) was downloaded and
posted to the web. Phil Jones Director of the CRU has acknowledged the files
are theirs.

In my area you can get a scrap license from the city for a paltry few
bucks in which case anything at the curb is fair game. Another local
municipality has laws against touching anything in the recycle bins.
You answer is only a phone call away.
PS. The really big city nearby has tried recycling and they sent
everything to the same landfill anyway.

Just higher costs for the trash collection at most.

Yes, it's stealing for exactly the reason you give. In addition, my
city for example is under orders to divert a percentage of the trash
stream to recycling - if they fall short, they will be penalized by the
State of California. Check your local ordinances, and then call the
cops if you feel like it.

Amusing. You really need to retake that 4th-grade math class.

Hint - The richest 5% includes the richest 1%.

Which is why people will be buying roof repairs and what ever, to keep
from having profits for Obama to tax away. Might as well waste it on
fixing things up as to letting the government waste it.

You really need to retake that 4th-grade math class. Hint - Without
knowing the average earnings for each group, it's impossible to know was
percentage of their income was paid in income taxes.

Hey bozo - You are the one who claimed the above.

Hint - the bottom 50% pay significantly more than 3% of all taxes.

You really need to retake that 4th-grade remedial math class.

In 1964 I bought a 12 oz brand name beer for $.75. What does a brand
name beer cost today. I don't know as I quite beer long ago!
Inflation took hold in this Country in 1966 or 67.

Take accounting. The richest 5% includes the richest 1%. The 37%
is included in the 56%.

But more to the point, is that it only makes sense to tax the people who
actually HAVE THE FUCKING MONEY! and that's the rich. Tax the lower
classes and you drive down consumer demand even further, and move the
economy even closer to a crash.

Now, if the rich had taken their tax reduction and invested it in
creating jobs in the USA, the unemployment rate would be lower, lower
and middle class people would have more spending money, and profits in
retail would increase. But they invested in making foreign jobs instead
that put even more Americans on the welfare dole.

Which I gather you do not like.

But if we raise taxes on the rich, the government would be able to lower
the deficit, the value of the dollar would stabilize, and if the
bureacrats spent the money, it would be spent in the USA, which creates
profits for corporations in the USA. Is there a problem with creating
more profits for American corporations?

Anyone familiar with satellite radio. I've been reading Sirius has a
50 channel a la carte subscription for $7/mo. They appear to have
two units (Starmate - 5 @ $130 and Stratus 6 @ $70) that can be used
both at home and in the car with this a la carte subscription.

Are they easy to hook up? Is the reception acceptable while driving
(do trees, buildings, etc significantly interrupt the reception)? How
difficult are they to switch between home and the car? Is an extra,
special outdoor antenna needed for home use? Any feel for why one unit
is twice the price of the other (what are the useful options)?

The Democrats care much more about their own selves than they do about
"The Party" or some ridiculous "principle". Now if their constituents
had a away to hold them accountable that would actually work pretty
well. It ain't pretty. But it would work. The present system is based
on mutually beneficial partisan gerrymandering and demonization of the
opposite party. If you attempt to remove a sitting representative you
will get Satan incarnate from the other bipolar party. It really is so
very simple when you back away and really look at it.

The parties decide how to shape the representative districts. And they
do what is most cost effective in campaign funding. The objective is to
get it down to as few "in play" districts as possible so that all of the
money can be focused on those districts. The inner party of course
controls much of that money. The potential representative is much more
accountable to the dispensers of that money than they are to the people
of the district.

The secret to decent representation is much smaller and regularly shaped
electoral districts in which the representative is more accountable to
the people and much less dependent on the party money dispensers.

That seems quite plausible. Ok, we see the promised land, or at

Not true. They very much want your trade-in. They won't give you much for it, but they will charge
top dollar when they sell it. If it's ratty, they'll wholesale it to get it off the lot. Dealers typically make
more profit off each used vehicle than they do off new ones. That's why you'll never see a new car
dealer that does not sell used cars, although some only sell their own brand.

Yes, the truth really is inconvenient, isn't it? Wonder what all the
lib media is going to do when they finally realize just how badly
they've been deceived by these frauds...

Nope. You're a liar. For insurance plans through employers the
grandfathering ends after 5 years but the personal plans remain
unmolested. For the employer plans there is a 5 year grandfathering last
time I looked and that phase doesn't start till 2013. That means you can
keep your ridiculous employer crap until 2018 with no penalty at all. By
that time the laws will probably be changed twice.

Read the @##)$^& bill. It's section 202. You are a liar.

The cost is a addressed through subsidies that are paid by taxation on
incomes above a million a year. Stop whining and lying. The reason that
Mass. Health insurance is so expensive is that it is NOT subsidized by a
tax on the rich. You are a liar.

The CBO has told you lying pigs that the bill will _REDUCE_ the deficit.
The Democrats say it will _REDUCE_ the deficit. Seems like the only
liars are the same lying filth Republicans that have been lying filth for
the last 30 years and are still lying filth and will be lying filth
henceforth.

Yes, you lying pig. And you obviously didn't.

NO, lying sack of Republican pig shit. The bill will assess a fine on
people who are financially capable of purchasing insurance and who refuse
to do so. That is the end of the bill. There are _NO_ penalties other
than a fine in the bill. If you refuse to pay federal taxes you COULD go
to jail. That has always been as such for many many years and the bill
does NOTHING to change the IRS code. NOTHING.

Why do you have the insane idea that the government cant keep Medicare
solvent??? That is abject stupidity on steroids. The government can
increase Medicare taxes and the government can cut what it is willing to
pay to providers. Only Republican morons believe they can keep the
common people of the USA from supporting Medicare via their continued
lies and more lies. You need to go bag some more tea.

Just one lie after the next. On and on and on and on. The phrase "Ponzi
scheme" has become a Satan word like "socialism", or "communism", or
"fascism" for the Republican brain dead. The words are all equal and are
used to paint something as "bad". The words and phrases need not
actually mean anything as is the case here. The Public Option is a non-
profit non subsidized health insurance provider that is totally funded by
premiums paid in by willing subscribers just like any other competing
insurance company. But you idiotic brain dead morons love the phrase
"Ponzi scheme" soooooooo much that you MUST use it to paint "BAD" on the
Public Option that has no resemblance whatsoever. And it doesn't matter
because the people you are addressing with your lying filth are to
ignorant to know the word definitions anyway.

Depends on the numbers. You don't offer any. Your argument always gets
down to your religious conviction that government can NEVER do anything
good other than make wars. And you monkeys do love wars.

Another lie. The bill need not address law suits to reduce the costs of
medical care. You say "partly responsible". That ADMITS to other
"parts". And reducing the costs of those other parts will reduce costs
of the whole without messing with lawsuits. Such a bill is only
"useless" to pea brained idiot blind Republican liars.

Yet another lie. Low income people will be subsidized. That is the
purpose of the bill. You are a liar. And if there is a cost shift from
old to young then the young will get a refund when they get older. You
people have less foresight than a mole. Your "vision" of the future is
next week.

So do you think all the young people will die before age 55 and never see
any advantage of the system? Republicans see maybe a year into the
future and after that the world ends:

We believe in science when the word of God agrees

We believe in science that destroys our enemies

We know the end is coming and it's coming with great haste

And everything we don't ab-use will surely go to waste

THE REPUBLICAN 10 YEAR PLAN

> Meanwhile, taxes will be raised on
> everybody, including the middle class and the "rich".

Yet another lie. Future tax adjustments have absolutely _NOTHING_ to do
with the health care bill. _NOTHING_. But we can all rest assured that
any attempt to pay down the deficit EVEN FURTHER THAN IT WILL BE PAID
DOWN BY The Health care plan by raising taxes will be assaulted by you
lying pigs in just this manner.

Taxes are probably going up because we need deficit reduction. The
deficit _WILL_NOT_ be increased by this bill and future tax increases
have _NOTHING_ to do with this bill.

THIS BILL increases taxes on the rich to subsidize health insurance for
lower income people. THAT US WHAT _THIS_ BILL DOES! Your lying pig
claims to the contrary are noted.

> The fact that you think the rich will carry the burden makes you either

You are a lying sack of miserable pig shit. The Bill says I am right and
you are a liar. Try reading it.

It's the sort of reality that makes ignorant asswipes angry in that they

The only people that are upset are a bunch of semi-literate screech
monkeys. The "average citizens" find summaries like the ones I posted
before from sources that are not right wing noise machines. The
summaries are easily understood and truthful. That have to be. If they
are not then major shit will hit the fan. Republicans spent YEARS
undermining government and lying to everyone and they expect to "cash in"
on the lack of faith they worked so hard to engender. Maybe you lying
pigs will get away with it with some of the people.

I have called it as it is. Childishness seems to be the Republican
condition.

Excellent summary. These professional liars are contemptible,
they know it, and they spend a lot of time explaining away why they've
chosen to be scum. Luckily the incoherent stupidity of the Repub base
is not typical of the American majority... including the many, many
folks who used to vote Repub but who wised up during the Bush
Disaster.
Repubs have spent so many years working to undermine our
government that they're starting to fantasize that the job is done.
Right now their meme is that all they can grab power away from our
elected government by issuing orders to their Mickey Mouse brigade of
teapartiers.

TOPIC: does taking from recycling container = stealing?

I was out banging on the exhaust pipe of our van, testing to make
sure the pipe was in good shape, when I saw a guy stop by our trash cans
and city recycling containers. He took an old blender out of our trash
(I had already removed the copper wire windings), and also took some
items from our recycling containers. I'm not worried about the trash -
I've always felt that as long as people aren't taking any personal
papers, they are welcome to anything else - especially since they have
to brave loads of dirty diapers in our dumpsters.

However, the recycling containers are a different story. My
understanding is that the city gets some $$ from the aluminum, etc.,
which are put in there, and that $$ helps keep our cost for waste
collection from going up. If these guys are going around and taking the
aluminum out of the recycling containers, doesn't that take $$ away from
the city, and ultimately make us pay higher rates?

There's a kid around here who's started a "business" collecting cans from
rcycling bins, acting like he's doing the world a favor, and of course
then taking them to the store for the deposit.

His promotion is false, since it at first glance sounds like he's doing a
good thing. But, some years back there was a story in the paper that can
recycling was going too well, so many cans were brought back that they
weren't able to fund it properly. They were counting on a certain
percentage of cans to not be returned, and that money went to paying for
the whole process.

Cans and bottles with deposits that go right into the recycling bins,
that leaves the 5cents for the whole recycling process, yet still does
what the deposit is about, keeping the cans from littering the sides
of highways, and keep them out of landfill.

So in trying to earn his five cents, the kid is actually doing a bad
deed.

I think he's doing the right thing - after all, his incentive comes from
our putting a deposit on the bottles and cans.

Did you know a coke can is worth more than 5 cents at the refinery
because it costs at least 50 times the electricity to refine bauxite as
it does to recycle that can?

Its not my fault you'e stupid.

Try to PAY ATTENTION:

The richest 1% paid 39% of the income taxes, up from 37% in 2000.
The richest 5% paid 60% of the income taxes, up from 56% in 2000.

39%+60%=99%

What part of "39%+60%=99%" don't you understand?

Its not my fault you'e stupid.

Try to PAY ATTENTION:

The richest 1% paid 39% of the income taxes, up from 37% in 2000.
he richest 5% paid 60% of the income taxes, up from 56% in 2000.

1%+5%=6%

What part of "1%+5%=6%" don't you understand?

YOU SAID "they were paid essentially 50% of the income."

Therefore "6% of the population paid 99% of the taxes (on 50% of the
income, according to you)."

YOU SAID: [The bottom 50% paid 3% of income taxes...] "and essentially
all the payroll tax with a significantly higher share of
property, sales & excise taxes."

Your CITE SHOWS: The highest income group paid 23-cents per tax dollar
to Federal Payroll taxes and the lowest income group paid 21-cents per
tax dollar to Federal Payroll taxes.

YOU LIED.

YOU SAID: [The bottom 50% paid 3% of income taxes...] "and essentially
all the payroll tax with a significantly higher share of
property, sales & excise taxes."

Your CITE SHOWS: The Total State and Local Taxes Averaged is $9,400
per taxpayer, with the LOWEST FOUR income groups paying $28,666
COMBINED and the SINGLE highest income groupo paying $24,421.

YOU LIED.

There is no such thing as "idle rich."

You weren't paying attention.

When I SET A TRAP for someone I have NO INTENTION of actually LYING or
of actually passing along "bullshit." The point of the TRAP is to
catch a LIAR.

Of course setting a TRAP to CATCH a LIAR usually requires some BAIT so
I frequently leave a little typo (that I return to and correct).

And YOU have been CAUGHT LYING REPEATEDLY:

True, yet irrelevant.

The property rights of a poor person who owns a clunker-car are

There is no such thing as "the value of property rights."

idle poor."

YOU LIED.

Which has NOTHING to do with "property RIGHTS."

Insurance has to do with Property Value and has NOTHING to do with

YOU LIED.

You FAILED to CITE your Source.

The COMMON Source is the CPI Inflation Calculator at:
http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

$16,822 in 1985 would have the SAME buying power as $33,660 in 2008.

Yet the 2008 number is $41,334.97 representing a 22.80% INCREASE.

YOU SAID: "wages have stayed flat or diminished since the mid 70's."

>A yearly gain of less than 1% per year

Wrong.

$16,822 compounded 1% over 22 years is just over $20,000 but the
ACTUAL average wage is $33,660.

YOU SAID: "wages have stayed flat or diminished since the mid 70's."

YOU LIED.

Black Friday Deals: Buy the Right PC, Not the Cheapest
Computers may be on sale at insane prices, but take a careful look at
the bottom line — and exactly what it is that you're buying.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, Computerworld
Nov 26, 2009 3:00 pm

http://www.pcworld.com/article/183268/black_friday_deals_buy_the_right_pc_not_the_cheapest.html?tk=nl_dnx_h_crawl

I don't need a new PC, but I want one anyway. All those Black Friday
deals are mighty tempting. But, if you're going to give in to
temptation here are some hints to keep in mind.

First, those deals that are too good to be true? Many of them are too
good to be true. If you are the first person in line at 4 a.m. you may
get the one ultra-low price laptop that a store will have in stock.
But, if you're a 'late' riser, who doesn't make it to the store until
4:05, you can forget about the miracle-priced computer.

Other computers may also be on sale at insane prices, but take a
careful look at exactly what it is that you're buying. I've seen
several netbooks deals that sound great... until I looked closer and
saw that they require pricey, two-year mobile phone contracts on top
of the up-front price.

I'm not saying you can't get a good deal. You can. Just don't get too
worked up about sub-$100 priced computers, or you may end up
disappointed or with a PC that costs you far more in the long-run.

Before setting your alarm clock for 3 in the morning, you also should
keep in mind that many vendors are offering the same deals at their
online stores. Given a choice between standing in a crowd at your
local Best Buy and sitting at my computer and shopping, I'm at home at
my PC every time.

To find these deals, there are several good Web sites that serve as
Black Friday sales guides. I prefer Black Friday Ads and Black Friday
Info.

Before you start shopping though, here are some specifics to keep in
mind.

If you're going to buy a new Windows 7 PC, be sure to get one with at
least 2GBs of RAM, and if you can get more RAM so much the better.
I've found adding RAM to a computer usually gets you the most bang for
the buck from any upgrade. Avoid netbooks with Windows 7. Windows 7
Starter Edition may, in theory, run on 1 GB of RAM, but it's no fun
and it lacks many of Windows 7's best features.

The version of Windows 7 that you'll want to buy for a home PC, by the
by, is Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Ultimate is also worth buying
if it won't cost you much more. On the other hand, you want to avoid
Windows 7 Home Basic. It has more features than Starter Edition, but
it lacks such basics as the ability to play DVDs. If you buy a 'deal'
with Windows 7 Home Basic, it's a deal you'll regret.

If you've been lusting for a Mac, now, or rather tomorrow, November
27th, is the time to buy. Apple will offer modest, about 8% sales on
Macs on that day only. Still, since Apple almost never discounts Macs,
it's still better than nothing. Other vendors, like MacMall, will also
offer lower Mac prices for longer periods of time. For what it's
worth, I think the Mac Mini, which will also be on sale, has always
offered a great Mac at a PC price.

As for Linux, there's not a lot to pick from, I had one deal I liked a
lot, a Dell's Vostro A90 Netbook for $184. This is a nice netbook that
comes with Ubuntu Linux, but it appears that they're already sold out.
Sigh.

Still, any netbook you can find will run desktop Linux successfully,
so if you're heart is set on Linux, shop around. Even the most minimal-
equipped network will still do well with Linux running on it.

Good luck with your shopping!
