So, Great Britain, how's that austerity program working out for you? -- (link) - znufrii Apr 25, 10:22 22
- It's pretty much a given that will happen. It's the flaw in all the "cut spending" rhetoric here. Now is really not the time to do it. - pmb Apr 25, 10:41 10
  - I am shocked *shocked* that reducing economic activity leads to reduced economic activity -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 10:46 2
    - They just didn't cut enough. Then it would have worked! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 25, 10:56 1
      - businees confidence in the economy will spur investment growth any time now... -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 11:09

    - Deficits don't matter. Reagan proved that -- nm - Dick Cheney Apr 25, 10:48 3
      - In a way they don't, because by the time they do matter you're out of office and can blame it on your successors. -- nm - Roger More Apr 25, 10:53 2
        
        politically, yes, but they will matter to you unless you move away because deficits = deferred taxes -- nm - zork Apr 25, 10:58 1
        
        That's my point :) It becomes someone else's problem. -- nm - Roger More Apr 25, 11:01

Luongo will accept a trade if the Canucks can find one. - zork Apr 25, 10:19 8
- dunno, I probably wouldn't trade for him. he's a top notch regular season goalie, but he crumbles under postseason pressure. - mafic Apr 25, 10:24 1
  - not exactly a problem for the Leafs -- nm - zork Apr 25, 10:26
- Tampa Bay is another potential landing spot (The Leafs don't really have a bunch to offer...) -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 10:21 5
  - plus he choked on the media in Vancouver, the TO media would devour him, barf him up, then eat him again -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 10:21 3
    - they can handle that contract better than anyone (except the Rangers maybe). He only has to play well in a game or two and they come right back on boa - zork Apr 25, 10:27 1
      - they'll probably make him captain. poor dion. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 10:30
    - what do they do, raise their voices slightly when they ask a gently prodding question? -- nm - pixitude Apr 25, 10:22

    - True. What's the use of tanking a full season, just to draft a guy, if you don't draft him? -- nm - flavorize Apr 25, 10:25
- with a .1% chance he's struck by lightning tomorrow. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 10:17
- That .1% is the killer Redskins fans... -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 10:15 1

- I think it sounds like a cool concept. -- nm - volnelk Apr 25, 10:02 1
  - Agreed. This is what I hoped the Tron sequel would be like. - Ser Vermyn Apr 25, 10:06
I'll say it again: The Voice is so much more entertaining than American Idol, the singers are so much more talented. - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 25, 09:56 4
- I just wish they could figure out the arrangements better; some of the singers get drowned out by the music routinely. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 10:21
- I can't watch that because the performances are sooo over-produced. You can't even hear their voice sometimes. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 10:17
- yeah, it seems like a lot of the australian voices are session musicians. they've been... more vetted than AI. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 10:14
- Agreed. Which is why I prefer it over AI. However, Idol fans like that more I think because - Jovian Apr 25, 09:59
Ahhh, Portland...don't ever change. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 25, 09:55 1

      - I was expecting ... - zork Apr 25, 10:15
  - how did you know? *giggle* -- nm - Diva Apr 25, 09:51 1

if I'd known going in on a Mani-Pedi would have produced that response I would have done it sooner. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 25, 09:47 2
