So Quayle is an optimist.

I'll settle for a few now.

Nice Article by Bjorn Lomborg on Copenhagen Climate Council in WSJ

Oh yeah...the link

[Link: online.wsj.com...]

I'm going to start off this thread with the announcement that I'm going to bed. I bet I'll miss some lively posts, sorry. G'nite!

Think Joe Biden will give Quayle a run for his money?

re: #6 Sharmuta

Quayle should be so lucky, but it is possible. We still have more then three and a half years to go yet.

Quayle was actually funny. Biden... makes me cringe.

re: #6 Sharmuta

I think Biden would, if BO let him out once in a while.
Not likely.

This Kristofferson/Keith thing doesn't pass the smell test. If it did, Kristofferson basically chickenhawked Keith, which isn't the noblest of actions.

I suppose if it did, neither would probably want to keep it running for many reasons.

I was floored to read this from Charles re. California's financial situation: "And there are apparently something like 80,000 state employees who make salaries of over $100,000 a year. It's completely out of control; public officials have been feeding at the trough in California for a long time." Un-freaking-believable.

With all the grief Quayle got over misspelling potato, you gotta wonder how Biden gets away with gaffe and gaffe after gaffe - especially the one on the campaign trail about Roosevelt going on television to calm the American people after the 1929 crash. Is it senility?

re: #6 Sharmuta

Think Joe Biden will give Quayle a run for his money?

he can't: Quayle is smarter.

just think: we have Biden because so many people talked themselves in to believing that Palin was the dumb one.

/fools

Quail is gone. Biden is still with us.

re: #12 MrPaulRevere

Even worse, are the retirement benefits. 70% of your working salary, for life. And it's the unions that benefit & are running the state.
SIGH.

And take it from someone who knows: Most of those 80,000 people who make over $100,000/year do practically nothing at all in their jobs. They just talentless civil servants, filing their artificial nails, gossiping, undermining each other with inter-office politics. A complete bureaucratic hell.

And their benefits packages are unbelievable -- retire extremely early, get jaw-dropping retirement benefits for the rest of their lives which often rival their regular salary, total health coverage for their entire family for the rest of their lives, etc. etc.

And we pay for it all.

If we eliminated 95% of those positions, the government would run just as smoothly -- probably even more smoothly actually.

re: #25 redc1c4

I think government unions are a conflict of interest. They should not be permitted. Unions- funded by tax dollars- it's an outrage.

re: #26 MrPaulRevere

And WHY do you think the prison guard union would care about the consequences? Or that anyone in Taxamento would look at the big picture, turn down those lobbyist lunches, or stand up to what has become (sadly) the way to do buisness in this state?

Likewise on my end. I think many, many unions have outlived their usefulness, but there are still a few I think are valuable. I do not, however, support mandated union workplaces. It goes against our right to freely associate.

I can see union membership for construction, law enforcement and first responders, but I fail to see how an office worker needs a union being funded by their wages which are provided by the tax payers.

re: #46 Sharmuta

I'm not sure I see the value of any unions in this day. Possibly for construction workers, but wasn't the point of the union to protect the workers from harmfull practices of the employer?

re: #46 Sharmuta

I've been trying to avoid knee jerking generally speaking. But in the case of the unions I might consider going back to it. There is no amount of spin that can paper over this debacle, and blame must be assigned.

There is probably no reason for any state or local employee to make over $100,000 a year. There is a lot of competition for the jobs. And again they could close the government on Friday and no one would know the difference. The same amount of work would get done. People would use the internet.

For California though. They could benefit from Special options.

Maybe knock down all bridges leading into San Francisco and give (not sell) the city to China as a city state.

re: #56 Floral Giraffe

In this day and age, it's difficult for employers to screw over their workers like in the days of old. I would think there are enough laws and regulations that most employer abuses are not stopped by unions, but the law. This leaves wages ass the only issue for unions to deal with, and inflated wagess leadss to inflated prices- and that hurt all of us.

It was a good show, but Adam Lambert is a way better singer than Kris Allen. Neither was my favorite (Alison was), but of the two, I'd have voted for Lambert. Kris seems like a nice enough person, but he's kind of forgettable. I predict that Lambert will sell more records even though he "lost."

$185,000? $150,000? They are not going to sell too many of those.

Good morning.

Look for the market to drop at the open in reaction to the credit card legislation of yesterday.

Upshot is, credit cards are going to become much more expensive for everyone. Those with the ready cash to pay for things with a debit card or cash will, and the banks will have a shrinking credit card market, so then they will have to keep raising fees on the remaining customers.

That means a lot of investors are going to take some chips off the table today.

In other news, Calfornia is going bankrupt and I figure it's just a matter of time until we bail them out some more. There are too many Democratic voters in California for Obama not do bail them out.

Is California too big to fail?

Every time I hear the line "too big to fail", I get a sharp pain in the wallet. Will Obama bailout Cal-i-for-nia and then make Arnold step down? Where does this madness end?

The fact that the alleged anti-Semitic, Bronx-bombing, jihadist, conspiratorial, WMD-plotters are members of a prominent visible minority is prejudicial and inflammatory, and this fact should therefore, in fairness and correctness be suppressed by the MSM instead of being so prominently and casually highlighted in the media coverage.

Further developments in Chicago murder's:
Body Found on Illinois River Shore Prompts Speculation

CHANNAHON, Ill. — A cleaning crew in suburban Chicago found a badly decomposed human body on the shores of the Des Plaines River on Wednesday, prompting speculation the remains were related to one of a couple of long-running, high-profile missing persons cases in the area.

Illinois State Police Sgt. Tom Burek confirmed the remains were human, but declined to say if the body was male or female. The Will County coroner will perform an autopsy on Thursday morning.

Burek said he would not speculate about whether the remains belong to Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic, two missing Will County women who disappeared in 2007 and whose cases have garnered national attention.

Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, is scheduled to appear in court Thursday on charges he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.

Savio's death, originally ruled an accidental drowning, was reclassified as a homicide after her body was exhumed and an autopsy conducted following Stacy Peterson's disappearance in October 2007.

Drew Peterson, being held at the Will County Jail on $20 million bail, has maintained he believes Stacy Peterson left him for another man and is most likely living outside Illinois.

In even further developments, it was reported on WLS radio this morning that a big blue plastic barrel was found in the river about a mile downstream from this body. Drew Peterson was seen removing a big blue barrel from his house the night Stacy Peterson vanished. His cell phone was pinged that night near the Cal-Sag channel, and the Cal-Sag feeds into the Des Plaines River.

Lot's of things have to have happened for this to be the remains of Stacy Peterson, but there has been a lot of flooding lately that could have disloged a sunken barrel and got things going. I know that area though, and there is a marina real close that uses blue barrel to float the docks, so this found blue barrel could be from there.

Whoever it is, may their soul rest in peace.

It will end with total socialism by Obama, or the public forcing the politicians to stop with the maddness.

Who will bail the USA out once we exhaust all of our credit, spend our great-great grandkids future and the dollar starts to slide towards "Mugabesque levels"?

How can Obama's rating hold at 60% favorable? There has to be a point where all of this idiocy catches up with him. We are heading off a cliff and most people do not see it?

Well, it is one of the most famous "made up out of the blue let's steal this site for ourselves" Holy spots in Islam. The fact that damn mosque is sitting on top of the most holy spot in Judism is bad enough. But, for them to claim this as theirs is an outrage. The Koran does not specify where Mo went to hell, oops, I mean ascended to "heaven"...the Islamic claim on Al Quds is weak. They took this spot because it was sacred to the Jews. Why does nobody ever mention that? It is not theirs to steal. They took it because they could. Israel should take it back and tell them to FO

Public employee labor unions were invented in New York back in the 1950s. Since then, they've seized control of state government in New York and California. I think they're an experiment that clearly has failed. Their puppets have governed badly. Decertify the public employee unions!

re: #241 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I started DVRing that show when I first saw the advertisements for it, I was disappointed. Seemed to me the whole show could be done in the last 15 minute overview they do, and so much of it is based on random chance.

Decent entertainment value, but too drug out for me to sit through entire episodes.

re: #244 unreconstructed rebel

They're high, because he says nothing of substance. The meat of his campaign speeches simply say things like, we need to reject the failed policies of the past, we need to lift up those less fortunate, we need to ensure we have clean air and water for our children and grandchildren, we need to think globally, we need to...etc.

He never provides specific examples of anything. And they gobble it all up.

Ok, but who isn't?

And so it begins...I got notified by Capital One yesterday that a card I have had for 13 years, with a 9% rate, as of July 1, will have a 17.99% rate. I have never carried a balance, never been late with a payment and have excellent credit. A call to CO revealed that this rate has been applied to all accounts due to "economic times".

For me, it was easy to tell them where to shove their new rate (this card was only used for online shopping) but what about others, who have a balance and no means to pay off the card in its entirety before July 1.

I can't wait to see what happens when the new, credit card overhaul law goes into effect! *spit*

Ya don't have to drop them, just pay off all the balances by the due date and there is no interest rate?

re: #255 Fluffy Bunny

So it doesn't matter. Why are you letting it bother you? You aren't paying the 9%, so why should 17.99 bother you?

re: #255 Fluffy Bunny

But if you pay it off by the due date, then that really should not matter all that much to you?

It is the principle.

re: #258 taxfreekiller

Ah I see your point.

It hasn't been done with the right people yet after all right? It'll work this time...

If you have no balance, call them & tell them you are canceling. I'm pretty sure you can get them to rescind the new rate. At least until the new bill clears Congress.

re: #262 Fluffy Bunny

No, really it is not. It is completely irrelevant.

Duty calls. Chat with y'all later.

re: #264 unreconstructed rebel

The response was that the 17.99 is the lowest they offer, at this time.

My in-laws pay off their credit card bills every month. They shopped for months before choosing the card they wanted to use. Was such a waste of time.
