We need more spending to combat our spending problem.

Still not getting it, eh? Spending since the end of FY2009 has increased at less than the rate of inflation. I'm not sure in what world that's "more spending."

Funny how that comports with the pap the leftwing talking heads keep on spewing.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Pour it fast enough and there will be no fire. Gasoline isn't very flammable. Gasoline vapors, on the other hand....

You are correct about the liquid vs. vapor thing.  However, gasoline is fairly volatile.  I would like to see you give us a demonstration.  I have a Blitz plastic gas can that I am willing to let you use.

It is also possible to put out a gasoline fire with water.  I did it as part of my (volunteer) fireman training a long time ago.  I would not suggest using a garden hose.

Sometimes, talking heads spew facts. They may not be facts that support your team, but they are facts nonetheless.

Even the right side talking heads?  You have indeed surprised me if you believe, or even say without sarcasm, that the right side talking heads spew facts.

The one where $1.01 > $1.00

I think this image might sum it all up right here:

I found this pretty telling too...although most of you crazy righties don't consider Scarbs a 'real' Conservative.

No, you spelled "reality" slowly.

You'll be happy to know that last year we spent less than the year before.

It seems that Ohio is s done deal.  Can't beat the Obamaphone.

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

You use FY2009 as the benchmark, when it included a huge chunk of "one time spending" in the stimulus.

That was perfect Gasy. What about Mitt Romney? He sucks, Bad! Just a perfectly thought out reason. Stay classy Cleveland. Sad but that is the people that will vote him right back into the White House. It just makes me so proud.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Simply aimed at the lowest common denominator. Yikes.

Watching a 12 years old talk about Planned Parenthood is pretty funny though.
