"Free" education has been teaching everyone what the "free" market is for a long, long time. People are too ignorant/stupid.

The way you're describing it, its relative, yes. But not the way it was being used in class. It wasn't "compared to" it was "Americans love the free market". Relativity in this regard is absurd, anyways, as any intervention in a market makes it NOT-free, not relatively not free. not not not not not not not waaaaaaaatttt

No its not! Would you say Ron Paul supports the free market? Because he doesnt support the market 100%.

I was at my friend's house last night and got really drunk. So me and my other buddy decided to waterboard each other just to see what it felt like. It was pretty strange

Nice little "what about the kids" line from Joe Queenan today that made me think of politards:

Quote:

Americans who like their dudgeon high and their blood boiling have worked themselves into a tizzy now that the news about Alex Rodriguez's steroid use has broken. The Yankee third-bagger's fall from grace, coupled with Olympic hero Michael Phelps's shocking admission of drug use and Tom Daschle's unseemly failure to pay his income taxes has apoplexy aficionados digging into the record books to remember a time when the American people had worked themselves into such a sustained, unmediated level of fury at once-revered public figures. How could they do it? We all keep asking one another. How could they be so stupid? How could they be so callous? And what kind of message does it send to the kids?

First, let me address the issue of the message being sent to the kids. The kids in question are presumably the ones who spend vast portions of their youth massacring people on video screens, or devouring films about vicious high school girls who actively plot one another's annihilation, or dressing up like the flamboyant sociopaths they watch on MTV. These are the real kids, the ones that actually inhabit this great nation, not the mythical kids of yore who go through life completely unaware that adults are imperfect creatures until Charles Barkley gets pulled over for driving under the influence or Britney Spears loses custody of her kids or Miley Cyrus poses for some steamy shots in Vanity Fair.

gobbomom,

That Cheney pic is great. Also, Pelosi was hot before she became a troll, imo.

yeah, I didn't really want to say it, but Cheney was pretty hot. Huckabee wasn't bad either- I wonder if his wife was any better back then.

I knew it was the Chinese he had to apologize to. Poor Michael.

On a brighter note, I stumbled onto Gildwulf singing opera and it's pretty amazing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsYgQYzeBao

I'd heard him sing before, but not opera.
