Hmm...just called the sheriff on fireworks douchebag. It hit me as I was on the phone with them - - kelly Jul 2, 18:19 10
- Ask the police for help making a citizens arrest, that might bring out a supervisor level officer b. most communities have some sort of mediation - zeitgeist Jul 2, 18:32 1
  - I think this would only work if he was actively setting them off for hours at a time. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 18:35
- Is there something in the contract for your community about safety? - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:23
- I thought you were going to say, It hit me as I was on the phone with them "I have become an old person" -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 18:23 2
  - it wouldn't be so bad if it was *just*one*freaking*night like someone having a loud party down the street, but randomly banging for a week or two? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 18:35
  - Eh. It's a safety issue here. If that makes me an old person, then so be it. -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 18:25
- "My fellow Americans, please remember this holiday that the greatest trick Darwin ever pulled was making fireworks." -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 2, 18:22
- Well, maybe. Or maybe they just need a critical mass of complaints to act. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 18:21
- That's very unsurprising. (Sorry to hear, I can't stand fireworks douchebags either.) -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 18:20

- Prime hamburger, creamed spinich, garlic mushrooms, bread pudding aashed down with the root beer float BUT - JenBro Jul 2, 18:32 3
  - that's fine volume wise. but can I swap the bread pudding for the truffle potato chips? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 2, 18:39
  - or, if you're totally crazy, give it to your whiny cat -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 18:33 1
    - Funny thing is ... She'd prolly eat spinich! -- nm - JenBro Jul 2, 18:35

- For lunch I would prob get the burger. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 18:13

  - they are also one of the best steak houses in town. we have a dozen of them :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 2, 18:19 1

85% of respondents supported a new city center. When told the city would have to pay for it, approval dropped to 38% - spamlet Jul 2, 17:55 4
- Uhm...Who didn't they think was going to pay for it the first time? -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:56 3
  - That's sort of my point. 85% thinks it is a good idea. 47% only like the idea if you don't mention how it would be paid for. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 17:57 1
    - Maybe they thought it meant they were going to move the center of of the city. ;) - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:11
  - earmarks! -- nm - Tim Jul 2, 17:57
Amoxy, look out your window just to your East. There is a badass thunderstorm near you -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:52 1

- Against the White Sox... of course. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 18:30
- Did he subsequently break every bone in his body? -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 2, 18:21 1
  - No! He surprisingly followed it up with a nice defensive play that revealed him to still have some speed. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 2, 18:28
- Amen. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 17:59
- w00t...knew i had him on my team for a reason -- nm - Din.gers Jul 2, 17:53

Bills passed by Congress, 1947 to 2012... -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 2, 17:33 41

    - There's bad pork, and good pork. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:00 1
      - Like boneless pork chops generally bad, bacon good. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 18:01
  - even at worst in 2005, before earmark reform, they only cost $47 billion total -- (link) - charlie Jul 2, 17:44 18
    - I would like it to be zero. If it has to be sneaked into a bill then that means they know it wouldn't pass. - Bacon Jul 2, 17:47 16
      - the spending goes back into the economy. it's not like that money evaporates into thin air -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 17:48 15
        
        The governement is the biggest source of income for the county. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:51
        
        I concede this point, but I would rather have the earmarks stand on their own merits and not be slipped in secretly -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:50 13
        
        Hating earmarks generally is fine, but they are a symptom of how our government works -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 18:00 12
        
        removing them has actually contributed to gridlock b/c the party leaders don't have any grease to turn the wheels anymore -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 18:05 7
        
        Only in Congress could bribes be considered merely "greasing the wheels." - Stephen Jul 2, 18:14 5
        
        Clearly earmarks can be taken too far, but they aren't evil by their sheer nature in a system that depends on negotiation -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 18:18
        
        not sure how a government project = "bribe" but okay -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 18:17 2
        
        "greasing the wheels" is another way to say bribe. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:20 1
        
        More accurately, I think, a bribe is one type of greasing the wheels. -- nm - mara Jul 2, 18:34
        
        They aren't bribes if they're written in to a law. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:17
        
        Damn this is the second thing you have posted that really makes sense. - Bacon Jul 2, 18:08
        
        We will be Greece someday if something doesn't change -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 18:05 3
        
        no we won't. ever. -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 18:05 2
        
        OPA! :) -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 18:06 1
        
        no really, we won't -- (link) - charlie Jul 2, 18:14
    - And some of those earmarks haven't even been spent. Though the money is in limbo waiting. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:47
  - It's obstruction at its finest. Attempt to suffocate his legacy by letting nothing through. -- nm - Tim Jul 2, 17:42 3
    - And the President and Senate are also blocking their stupid shit too. So there is that -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:43 1
      - i don't think you understand how "equivalency" works -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 17:47
    - So they can point and say that he's a do nothing president. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:43
  - But the major reason that last number is so low is because a certain segment of Congress doesn't want to pass any law that Obama likes. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:41 13
    - I still stand by my IM. Doesn't matter the reason if some good comes out of it. - Bacon Jul 2, 17:43 12
      - They are just as guilty about the earmarks as anyone else. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:46 11
        
        You seem to think I am defending Republicans. I am not. I am merely pointing out that the gridlock cuts both ways. -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:48 10
        
        You certainly seem to be. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:52 9
        
        In all of these discussions you always think that to be the case. From your political standpoint a Moderate would seem to be far Right Wing. -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:53 8
        
        And what do you think my political standpoint is? - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:55 7
        
        I don't think you really know sometimes. -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:56 6
        
        And that doesn't answer my question directly. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:02 2
        
        I guess I don't care enough to figure it out -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 18:03 1
        
        Yes, I am aware of that. So why bring it up? -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:04
        
        I think you're doing exactly what you accuse me of. - the liioulu with Jul 2, 17:59 2
        
        Think what you want. -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 18:02 1
        
        I always do. -- nm - the liioulu with Jul 2, 18:02

Hey, BBC fans, is Copper violent? - David Jul 2, 17:11 6
- some grisly scenes for sure. -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 18:29 1
  - if this helps it's set around the same time as Gangs of new York and is at some times as violent as that movie... -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 18:33
- Not a lot of violence, but some grisly scenes. Mostly dead bodies and 19th century medicine. -- nm - GregW Jul 2, 17:44
- There's some violence, I didn't find it overly so, but your dad's mileage may vary. - Stephen Jul 2, 17:23 1
  - I don't know the answer to your IM. I added it. Hopefully, he's fine with it. -- nm - David Jul 2, 17:32
- Cant remember the last time BBC was violent...bunch o titties..but no hardcore -- nm - budice Jul 2, 17:16

- I can't stand this guy. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 17:13
- the idiots on 710 AM assured me that he's not going *anywhere* -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 17:05 9
  - I think theyll be able to match any offer...question is what does Dwight want -- nm - budice Jul 2, 17:07 8
    - They can offer beyond what anyone else can. If he leaves outright, he's leaving 25mil on the table - Will Hunting Jul 2, 17:13 3
      - I heard today that if he goes to a State like Texas without Income Tax it will only cost him 8.9 million over the contract length. - Bacon Jul 2, 17:41 1
        
        that does add up for pro athletes -- nm - budice Jul 2, 17:45
      - if he stays, it's only to be the future of a franchise that has no immediate future -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 17:20
    - personally, i think he's a team cancer so i hope he does resign. but the Lakers are old and not getting any younger. -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 17:08 3
      - As a Trailblazers fan I hope he does sign with the Lakerrs. Ding, he's a destroyer of teams, coaches, and owners. -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:30 1
        
        Not to mention I am not sure his back problem isn't going to become chronic and to see them tie up all that money would be wonderful -- nm - Bacon Jul 2, 17:31
      - i tend to agree...i think the Lakers could spend wisely elsewhere...not sure dantoni is the right coach -- nm - budice Jul 2, 17:11
