TTIS: Is there a political source for the "right-wing" like Dailykos is for the "left-wing"...... - Walt_Disney Sep 4, 09:12 28
- and what exactly is this "red meat" they keep talking about (i have an idea but want to be sure) -- nm - zork Sep 4, 09:25 12
  - I read it as specific issues and things the other guys have done that can be picked at and blown out of proportion to get the base riled up -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:30 8
    - Oh, and it works for both parties, not just the GOP. (different use of the word "red", you see) -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:33 4
      - i figured that it would be blue meat for them. I'm still weirded out by the way the colours are reversed between the US and Canada - mara's boss Sep 4, 09:36 3
        
        until 2000, they weren't fixed. Blue was the incumbent party, red was the challenger. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 09:40 1

lyc: I don't like that "inputted" is a word. - JaxSean Sep 4, 09:08 1

Great, a $4100 collection account from the phone company just popped up on my Credit Report taking me all the way down to a 530 rating. I just - CrankYanker Sep 4, 09:03 6
- "fairly easy..." It might be easier to fake your own death and reestablish credit under a different assumed identity. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 09:17 1
  - I hope not; I've heard the horror stories... we'll see. *crosses fingers* -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 4, 09:37
- No offense, but that one collection isn't the only thing taking you "all the way down." - JaxSean Sep 4, 09:10 1
  - no, you're right, I just found some other entries from places I've never heard of. I don't know what is was before but we've financed six cars since - CrankYanker Sep 4, 09:33
- ugh. that's why I bought a shredder. -- nm - Pete Sep 4, 09:08 1

- oh crap, that maybe wasn't a good mashup, sorry. -- nm - zork Sep 4, 09:03
Daunte Culpepper retires from the NFL. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 08:59
RNC thought: How are we supposed to have lower taxes while continuing the war in Iraq? - con_carne Sep 4, 08:55 36
- the military overspends on *everything* multiple times over. Also, accounting for some of the "black hole" budget would help. - zork Sep 4, 09:18 3
  - Military spending could be cut in half and it would still be too much. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 09:32 1
    - and you could still easily get the same in return from that money -- nm - zork Sep 4, 09:40
  - Yes, I think this is still a major problem -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:21
- We're 8 trillion in debt. We annually pay more interest than we've spend in Iraq. The American people have proven time and time again, we don't care - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:06 25
  - It's the same-old, same-old. But wait! Republicans are about change this year, too! Hmmmm... -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:11
  - what do you expect? as long as their congressman can do something for them, it's everyone else's congressman who is the problem. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 09:11 21
    - Congress should be about working together, but Republicans foster a notion of ME ME ME!! individualism - con_carne Sep 4, 09:15 20
      - Oh please, you can't blame one side and not the other for this mess. We're 28 years into a massive debt explosion. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:17 19
        
        Correct, both parties are to blame. I just think the Republicans' mentality of low taxes and war hawking is most responsible for the debt -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:24 4
        
        Bush isn't good by any means. He's anything but wise on budgets. But the Democrats aren't much better. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:25 2
        
        Partisan for the sake of being partisan: Probably. I think I am being extra hatey on the GOP cause of watching the convention. (I am actually angry) -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 09:32
        
        I think it is time for another American Revolution! -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 09:29
        
        more accurately, it's their intellectually dishonest approach to spending, including on the war. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 09:25
        
        I thought our budget was balanced and our debt was quite small when Clinton left office. Is that wrong? -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 09:19 12
        
        Clinton had a 2 year time frame Congress and him couldn't spend money quick enough; but teh deficit increased under him. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:21 1
        
        Here's a linkage graph. -- (link) - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:24 [Image]
        
        I thought there was, in fact, a budgetary surplus then but the national debt was still quite large. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 09:20 7
        
        Yeah, when you owe $10k on your credit cards, and you can pay $10 extra over the interest payment, you're still in trouble. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 09:22 6
        
        ... but it's better than not paying that $10 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 09:24 5
        
        Really, at least Clinton made the attempt to move us in the right directions - amoxy Sep 4, 09:25
        
        Or not paying at all. -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 09:24 3
        
        Or charging more to that credit card. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 09:28 2
        
        Hello world, I'd like to get an increse on my limit. Thanks. -- nm - USA Sep 4, 09:34 1
        
        Okay! -- nm - US Congress Sep 4, 09:36
        
        our national debt wasn't small, it'd just stopped increasing. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 09:20 1
        
        deficit vs. debt -- nm - zork Sep 4, 09:21
        
        and ironically, the only time we've had a balanced budget was when a democrat was in the white house. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 09:19
  - Someone needs to point out that the debt means that China and Russia own you guys ... that might stir up some motivation to pay it down :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 09:11 1
    - and that deficit == future taxes -- nm - zork Sep 4, 09:20
- The "how" hardly matters as long as people hear "lower taxes." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 09:02
- My RNC thought was that it was like watching coaching 101. - pmb Sep 4, 09:02
- bwahahaaa!!!!! -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 09:01
- the US army is acting like an international police force in Iraq - the country ought to pay them as such - Beryllium Sep 4, 09:00
- just keep borrowing from our foreign friends. We'll all be gone by the time it needs to be paid back so it's all good -- nm - Republicans Sep 4, 08:57 1
  - heh. ... heh. ... *cries* -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 08:59

LIR, Will: What interface are you using to work with MySQL? And here's a link to the FAQ on stored procedures/functions in mysql5 -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:47 6
- I downloaded WAMP the other day. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 08:52 5
  - Oh, I usually install the components separately ... which makes it even more confusing - Beryllium Sep 4, 08:53 4
    - Basically, it's all one package that runs together. So I'll answer yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 08:58 3
      - If you're using a web interface to interact with mysql, then the answer is yes. If you're using the command-line interface, the answer is no. :) - Beryllium Sep 4, 09:01 2
        
        he's using WAMP - it has phpmyadmin as one of it's packages. -- nm - decline Sep 4, 09:02 1
        
        ah. (I've never used it, as I said before - so thanks for clarifying) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 09:03
Grrrr....I hate when you get transferred 3 times get to the right person and then the phone goes dead -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 08:47 4

- I think that is part of the fucking business model because it happens so often. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 08:47 2
  - *sigh* -- nm - mickpix Sep 4, 08:50 1
    - Okay, for you I will limit the f-bombs to one per board. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 08:54

- ann and I used to put oreos in a bowl like cereal, dump milk on top, wait for them to get a bit mushy, eat with spoon. - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 09:14 1
  - spoon! -- nm - Max Sep 4, 09:35
