I HOPE 0bama is gaffetastic.

It will be interesting to see how McCain and Obama do with only one day of real preparation.

GO NAVY!

Charles-I couldn't load on IE 6 and now it's fine.

McCain to Barry:

Oh it's on.

Fresh thread. Get your coffee and donuts and strap in tight, lizards, it's going to be a bumpy day until the debate is over.

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!

Hi Pals,

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk

T. J . Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Re public

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!

Time to play with the big boys, Barry.

Off to get some lunch.

Yes Charles, I haven't been able to get through today until now.
Looks like the problem is solved.

re: #2 Ward Cleaver

Obambi has been preparing for a week now.

The Debate Is On

Consarn it! Now I've got a mindless Glenn Frey tune running through my head.

Great! Let's see how the Obamatron does without his teleprompter.

re: #5 loppyd

McCain to Barry:

Oh it's on.

But will he get served?

re: #11 Occasional Reader

Consarn it! Now I've got a mindless Glenn Frey tune running through my head.

LOL - first thing for me too! "it's on the street"

As i said below - I hope McCain will answer each question with just one sentence - and use the rest of the allocated time to expound on this crisis and show how it was the Dems in Congress who have been the guilty aprty since Clinton.
I hope he tells on TV how B0 has benefitted from all this - and how the Dems have wrecked every opportunity to control this since 2003.

Not holding my breath ...

I couldn't get on -- but now I can! YAY!

I wonder if Jim Lehrer will have to remind Obama what religion he claims.

Obama just gave a lousy uh uh uh filled mini-press conference.

re: #1 Sharmuta

I hope McCain is outstanding as well.

re: #14 loppyd

LOL - first thing for me too! "it's on the street"

Caught up in the action!
I been lookin' out for you!

I would swear that Frey wrote these stunningly unimaginative lyrics on a dare, if it weren't for the fact that he's ALWAYS been a stunningly unimaginative lyricist.

LGF was not loading. Got an IE message check connections etc. Thought you were under attack. Of course you are back.

Whoop! Let's go!

Go McCain!

I wasn't able to get in from work (IE) but could from home (Firefox). I was afraid that work had blocked access as they are tightening down on things like that. Glad to see that's not the case. All is well now. :)

I had the problem with IE6 and it is now fixed.

Bets on how the debate fix is in:

1. All religious questions will be lobbed at McCain. No mention of Obama's 20 year relationship with Rev. Wright.

feel free to add:

Fixed kind sir!

re: #5 loppyd

I can get on LGF again. Thankyou .

It does help to have Firefox as a backup. IE didn't allow access most of yesterday for me and I wondered whether the dark side of obambots or Islamoturds had cursed lgf.

As Charles requested: I could not get in this morning from IE6 (?) at work. Since I am posting, I now have access. Your fix worked. Thanks.

re: #24 loubob57

OMG-that's so funny...that's what I thought, too-that my work place had locked me out of viewing LGF.

I was just wondering about this on the last thread, not much slips past you lizards. It's like one huge collective of lizards swapping up to minute news and information. Ask and you shall receive (from Charles).

Oh boy That Dog Won't Hunt and I are going to have a blast watching this, go clean his clock McCain!

re: #20 Honorary Yooper

I hope McCain is outstanding as well.

As do I. But if we can get a great gaffe coupled with a brilliant job by McCain... well, that would just make my weekend.

Sad to say, no likelihood of a McCain knockout tonight. Under the best of circumstances, we can hope for a split decision, on points. Most voters won't see the debate. They'll see gotcha clips on the news and read reviews in tomorrow's papers, most of which - let's face it - are already 90% written, needing only a few adjectives and a stray fact or two. Guess who is going to be made to look bad. It's like the polls coming out now: McCain starts out 10% down before the first sample is taken. The truth means little, today. It's all in the presentation.

Hi!

Haven't run across you in a while - hope you're well.

I heard that McCain and Zero got into a shouting match over the bailout. I also heard that Iraq is going to hold regional elections in January, with the Sunnis participating. Should be an interesting debate. Too bad I will be out in the sticks with no TV.

Fixed for me.

re: #18 rawmuse

I wonder if Jim Lehrer will have to remind Obama what religion he claims.

Obama: You have all witnessed my efforts this week to wreck the US financial system.

Obama: Yes, save it. That's what I meant. This is in keeping with the tenets of my Muslim faith.

Lehrer: [starts banging head against desk]

McCain wanted all the time to take part to the debate. The statements to the contrary were given only to keep the dems off-balance.

The IE6 thing is fixed for me at least.

Part of me has no desire to watch the debate, since my trained response to Obama's voice is to say, "Shut up, asshole!" and change the channel. I'll be sorely tempted to flip over to Food Network HD.

No more Mr nice guy, Senator McCain! Take the offensive and grind Obama -and the Dems in general- into the ground. Rezco, Ayres, Fannie Mae contributions, Annenburg...bring out the big guns and Obama will wilt like week old arugula. Give Obama hell and godspeed, Mr. Senator.

re: #54 Fat Jolly Penguin

Aren't the networks anticipating something like 100 million viewers? That is a huge audience of potential voters.

Obama: I autographed a lot of magazine covers with my picture on them.

McCain: I was in Washington with almost every other Senator, except for Senator Obama, trying to prevent an economic crisis from getting worse.

I dunno. Viewership is predicted to be around 50 million, which sounds entirely plausible. The audience for the major convention speeches was in the neighborhood of 40 million. Given what's been going on, interest should be high. 122 million people voted in the 2004 presidential election, so 50 million is a pretty substantial share of the electorate.

re: #7 obageegee

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!

Hi Pals,

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

200 million into 85 billion equals 425 vs 425 thousand.

Just sayin.

Thank You Charles for fixing the IE6 as I could not get on to Little Green Footballs last night or early this morning but now all seems well.

Harry Reid has been spending a lot of time attacking John McCain for causing all the problems with the economic "fix". Since the Dems control congress they don't need to ask anyone to help them as they can just vote it through if they want to. They must be nervous about forcing this on the country and need someone else to blame as usual -- especially since most of the country doesn't want to bail out Wall Street for a problem created by the Dems in the first place.

Harry Reid is such a small mean little person. How is it that America is stuck with a no talent hack like this in the Senate anyway?

OMG! It's fixed! I was going to email someone at LGF but couldn't get in to find an email address! I thought it happened when the Tech Note went up because I could only get in using Firefox and then it wouldn't let me log on. I thought I was banned for posting links or something.

re: #7 obageegee

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!

Hi Pals,

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk

The Messiah NObama of course, anyone anointed by the world population to save the planet has to be immortal.

To wit: "I'm told by a close friend of Rezko that he's cooperating with the feds," said a Sneed source. "I don't know whether he's talking about Gov. Blagojevich or Barack Obama or anyone else," the source said.

Well gosh darnit all, if you can't trust a corrupt Syrian influence peddler to keep his mouth shut, who can you trust?

re: #7 obageegee

Unless I'm much mistaken, you've misplaced your decimal point by 3 digits.

$85 billion divided by 200 million
is
$85,000,000,000 divided by 200,000,000
which is the same as
$85,000 divided by 200
which gives us each $425.

Too bad...

re: #7 obageegee

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

You didn't make the math simple enough:

85 billion divided by 200 million = four hundred twenty-five

Banks book the settled mortgage cash and work out the commercial real estate market paper (much better value retention here). Residential supply/demand imbalance fixed.

And back to business we go.

.

In Mass, there are plenty of vacant or under-occupied commercial buildings, while the demand for housing and the low supply has driven up the prices, so it wouldn't work here.

no, and somehow, he's always out having a smoke break when it's time to move the couch or frig.

Maybe NObama will share his podium with Ahmed Dinnerjacket?

McCain will destroy Obama regardless of the subject. The only original thought Obama's ever had was when he decided to start going by Barack instead of Barry. It's been all downhill since then.

I hate him because of the tollways. You don't have an I-pass and you pay 2x for tolls. Because of work I must visit the Chicago area several times a year and hate ORD with a passion.

Two in a row from the statehouse to the jailhouse. Can't argue with tradition.

If Blago is indicted, it'll make five Illinois governors indicted, and four in the past 30 years. Should we contact Guinness?

Here ya go.

Done did it. Suitable for printing out and mounting in full view of whacked-out lefty coworkers and whatnot.

Where's the PShop, or a link?

is Blagojevich going to get it soon?

maddogg wet dream: Debate starts at 8:00pm central time. Back and forth with Obama getting a drubbing as Uh and duh are considered poor answers for foreign policy. Suddenly (no stinky you won't have to delete this one) there is a ruckus and the cameras pan to Obama's left. Obama has a stunned but resolved look on his face as several serious looking men in black suits and narrow ties come onto the stage. "Senator Obama" one of the men says matter of factly, "I am Special agent Jones, with the FBI. We have a warrant for your arrest.".......

re: #242 Buck

I think it was at the convention, and he was talking about senators that tried to add earmarks, unrelated to the bill in question. Right now the names are secret.

It was during the primary, I found a reference for it.
