Obama's economic recovery

Comments

[Fist of Etiquette]

And once Obama and Biden are shrunk down, they will use their miniaturized Chevy Economy to clear the patient's intestinal obstruction...

[John]

Fantastic Voyage with Hillary playing Raquel Welch. I am not seeing a lot of commercial potential here.

[Fist of Etiquette]

A provision of PPACA mandates that everyone buys a ticket to see it. And purchase the DVD.

[John]

Well it is interstate commerce. So I am sure MNG and Neu Mexican will find any objection to such a provision "silly".

[MNG]

I know nuance is not your strong suit, but my arguments regarding the mandate can be summed up by this paraphrase of a Clarence Thomas opinion: this is an uncommonly silly law, were I a member of the legislature I would vote to repeal it, but I cannot find anything in the Constitution which prevents it.

[John]

And if we can force people to buy insurance, we can force them to buy movie tickets, or music or anything else. It seems a bit odd that the framers spent all that time and effort creating a federal system and a limited federal government with enumerated powers only to insert a trap door in the commerce clause that allows the federal government to not just regulate virtually anything but mandate virtually any behavior.

Sure. Under such a cockeyed scheme they couldn't tell you that you can't have a gun within 100 yards of a school. But they can mandate that every one buy one or face a penalty.

[MNG]

What can I tell you, the power to regulate includes the power to direct, totally prohibit (Raich) and mandate (the history of the police power for states and localities (google Kennesaw, GA), the meaning of the word regulate in dictionairies of the time and today, and the use of the word in other provisions of the Constitution [the power to make regulations for the military in Art I. Sec. 8] all demonstrate that).

[John]

Prohibit in the context of commerce has never been the same as the police power. You are conflating one with the other. "regulate the commerce amongst the states.." has never been interpreted to mean "force people to engage in commerce".

You are just torturing the words and the history because you never met a government power you didn't love.

[MNG]

The police power has historically been referred to as the power of the state or locality to "regulate for the health, morals and safety" of citizens. It's embraced mandates like the one in Kennesaw no problem. it's bizarre to think the word "regulate" embraces mandates in state and local law, in other parts of the Constitution but not when it appears in the IC clause.

[John]

The feds don't have general police power. No one doubts the states could do this.

[MNG]

Yep, and the state police power is often spoke of in the law as the power of the state to "regulate the health, morals and safety of their citizens." So the word regulate obviously involves mandates there, but somehow it changes it's meaning when it appears in the IC Clause.

[sarcasmic]

The federal government has the power to do whatever it deems to be "necessary and proper" to promote the "general welfare" and "regulate commerce".

[Almanian]

What sarcasmic said.

Also, John and Mung, I understand the "interstate" commerce thing.

But how does the "intestinal" commerce thing that Fist brought up work?

[Mensan]

MNG, what you've just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on H&R is now dumber for having read to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[Meiczyslaw]

Keep in mind that Kennesaw is not Congress; and, in any event, Congress is empowered to require every member of the militia to buy a firearms (see Article One, Section 8), and has done so before (see the Militia Acts of 1792).

In fact, if PPACA is so dang important to you, you could just admit that we're all members of the militia, and that we're required to take care of ourselves as part of that service. But Congress didn't do that, because that admission would logically also allow (nay, require) us to purchase the tools of the infantry: automatic weapons, body armor, etc.

[George V]

Hilary dies when no one will pull the antibodies off of her.

VIOLENTELIMINASHUNISTHATESPEEEEECHZOMFG!!!!2!!

[a dollar a day keep Obama away]

[Bill]

[Almanian]

He's "driving Miss Daisy", if you know what I'm saying

[Bucky]

could be "Reverse" racism...

[Sinic]

Is it some intern's job to make the first post at exactly 7:00am EST every morning or is it automated?

[heller]

Friday Funnies is put up at exactly midnight, so maybe.

[?]

Biden's response to the punchline is superfluous.

B-

[Bucky]

he could have said "Does this qualify as "shovel ready"...

[Lucy]

It's not my job. Maybe that's a higher security clearance.

[Barack O'Intern]

Let me be clear - that's above my pay grade! Hyuk hyuk!

[PS]

Threadjack: would one of you programmer ninjas with an ebook please write a Reason/Hit and Run feed script for Calibre?

Almost as funny as Hercule Triathlon Sevarwhatever.

[Clich? Bandit]

Back off J[o]hn[n]ny, Hercule is my man for Pres. HERC 2012...and he is WAY funnier than Bok.

[J[o]h[nn]y L[o][n]gt[o]rs[o]]

There is only one thing that can save this thread, random Billy Madison quotes:

3rd Grader: Hey, look everybody! Billy peed his pants!
Billy Madison: Of course I peed my pants! Everyone my age pees their pants; it's the coolest!
3rd Grader: Really?
Billy Madison: YES! You ain't cool, unless you pee your pants.
3rd Grader: Hey, look! Ernie peed his pants, too. All right!
Old Farm Lady: If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
Billy Madison: Oh! That was the grossest thing I've ever heard in my life! Let's go!!

[MNG]

The best Sandler movie. They've been declining ever since.

[MNG]

Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[I've seen the movie...]

...but I missed the Miles Davis line before -- classic -- throw some snot and puke in with that.

[Tee Shirt Armani]

[Doubleu]

I don't like the way the rocks were drawn!

Have a good weekend Reason people!

[Res Publica Americana]

The day the unconstitutional, hellishly immoral, and ruinious ObamaCare legislation dies is the day hope is at least marginally restored.

[Appalachian Australian]

Why do you hate sick people?

[Res Publica Americana]

Because I have hookers to buy, booze to import, Ponzi schemes to run, and people to exploit. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF CAPITALISM!111111111111111111111111111111111111111

[James Ard]

Obama said bump ON the road. Why does nobody call him out for his butchering of a common phrase?

[P Brooks]

The Ship of State is in the ditch.

[Obama's Volt Redux]

[Gilbert Martin]

But, but, but if it weren't for the "stimulus" the car would have been buried under a 50 ft high avalanche of boulders!

Don't ask me for proof!

I don't need no stinking proof!

I've taken economic prognostication 101 from Christina Romer!

[Brandybuck]

So where is this Friday's funny? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[kyfho23]

Is this an example of "not quite shovel-ready"?

[Francesco Sinibaldi]

In a spare moment....

I retain that
everything shines
while an eminent
sadness invents
an idea, so
nostalgic and
tender like
a luminous care....

If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.

As quickly when you start preparing or even the large day, deciding on your wedding party attire gets an urgent require for most brides. Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".

The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fianc? fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.

After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
