    - She wants her own Discovery Channel TV show. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 11:10 1
      - This simply has to be the answer. You're really the best. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 11:14

Laminated List Formality Question: If you have a Laminated List, and your SO agrees with it, is it "OK" to actively *persue* said list? - JaxSean Jan 30, 11:00 11
- i told jeff i would choose him over paul rudd. so it's a non-issue, because i'm *sure* he would return the favor, right? right?! -- nm - kare Jan 30, 11:03 2
  - Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't sleep with Paul Rudd. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 11:06 1
    - How can you be so sure? I mean ... it IS paul rudd... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 11:08
- isnt that the point of having a Laminated List? -- nm - Guy Jan 30, 11:02 4
  - Since the spirit of the List is "can have one night of sex with said celebrity," I was just wondering if "actively persuing" said celebrity was out of - JaxSean Jan 30, 11:04 3
    - did you think the celebrity was just going to jump you in public? - Guy Jan 30, 11:06 2
      - Hello. *one pump* -- nm - Sasha Grey Jan 30, 11:07 1

- Here's what I don't get, one of the purposes of the bill is pork. - pmb Jan 30, 10:59 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Pork is generally described as earmarked money for local projects. - pmb Jan 30, 11:03
- The problem is the basic conservative answer to everything is tax cuts and interest rate reductions...and those haven't worked - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 10:59 11
  - They worked under Reagan, brought us out from the nightmare Carter years. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:01 8
    - They failed this time...that's what matters. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 11:08
    - until the Bush Tax Cuts put us right back there -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 11:02
    - [deleted] 5
      - so the economic expansion from 83-89 was what, pure luck? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:03 4
        
        and the Clinton expansion on 93-99 with no massive tax cuts was what? -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 11:05 3
        
        most of that was the dot com bubble -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:06 1
        
        so like the Savings & Loan bubble of Reagan's 80s? -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 11:09
        
        laying the ground work for our current debacle - znufrii Jan 30, 11:06
  - *ding* - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 11:00 1
    - Sure Obama promised tax cuts. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 11:02
- It's an untenable position given the progression of our country to the left. I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:56 4
  - progression? we've only just halted the drift to the right of the last 30 years. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 11:03
  - I welcome our Welfare State Overlords - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:58
  - [deleted] 1
    - This is a good example of the worst of liberals...While they claim the right wants no part of change, once something changes for the left, that's it. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 30, 11:05
- THINGS ONLY HAVE ONE EFFECT! -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:56
- We should certainly question wasteful (and ethically questionable) spending but we need to define how to determine what falls into those categories. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:56
- Because that is the easiest way to make it look wasteful. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 30, 10:55 10
  - No, we just talk about the debt we're handing to our children & grandchildren to get that accomplished. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:58 7
    - [deleted] 1
      - I've always been consistent on this. - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:14

      - Having sex = saving the economy! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 11:02 2

        brilliant! -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 30, 11:02

  - [deleted]
  - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 10:55
znufrii, how many jobs created are you working off, 4 million? -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:54 7
- that's the estimate i've heard from the administration, that the stimulus package will lead to the creation of 3 to 4 million jobs. - znufrii Jan 30, 10:55 6
  - I think the line they've consistently used is "created *or* saved" although the number of jobs created or saved" has increased a number of times iinm. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:57
  - I suppose if you're going to use that stat, then you should only use the funds designed to create jobs when calculating the cost per job - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:57 4
    - I think the whole idea of the exercise of trying to assing a monetary cost to it is ridiculous. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 11:01
    - I would agree with that except the overarching goal of said plan is job creation. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:58 1
      - I wouldn't say that. The overreaching goals is bolstering the faltering economy. One aspect of that is job creation -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:59
    - yep. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 10:57

- I miss the sunsets from Mt. St. Helens. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 30, 10:54
- That makes sense. Good that it won't be obliterating your town or anything! - ty97 Jan 30, 10:54
- Dress in a toga and carry a sign that reads "Pompei 2009!" -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:54 2

Maybe they're building the facilities *out of* the Coast Guard workers. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:48 2
- Guardtron, DEFEND! -- nm - Obama Prime Jan 30, 10:49
- "In other news, the Coast Guard has begun recruiting 'large and in charge' people for their new infrastructure projects...' -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:49
And don't forget the bill includes tax rebates to lazy people that don't pay taxes in the first place! -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:48 4
- (except sales, payroll and gas taxes) -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:48 3
  - and they can't be "lazy" since they do have jobs -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 30, 10:51 2

      - The Man keeps them down! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:54
Last night's Magic vs. Cavaliers game must've been Pixie's wet dream. Half the fans were dressed in Superman T-Shirts and capes. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 10:47 3
