"I believe the federal government has grown out of control, threatening the rights, liberties, and property of the people," Goalie Tim Thomas said in a statement. The decision to stay away, Thomas said, "was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country."

  Wrote this in an earlier thread; I'll ask it here instead:
  
  What's up with this whole "nuclear titties" play on Gingrich's name, exactly? Did I miss something around here?
  1. BakedPenguin 13 years ago
    
    That was from Pro Libertate.
    1. TomD 13 years ago
      
      OK, that's a start. I like Pro Libertate.
      
      So, uh... like, what's the pun all about?
      1. BakedPenguin 13 years ago
        
        Have you seen Gingrich's corpulent ass? He must have some major moobage. Hence, NEWcular Titties.
        
        TomD 13 years ago
        
        OK, I guess this is what my pedantic, aspergerish, irritating self is getting at: Was "nuclear titties" some sort of preexisting, pre-Newt little catchphrase?
        
        Like, when somebody says "Hitlery Clinton" or "King George Bush," those are little puns based on existing familiar phrases. Which existing familiar phrase is "Newcular Titties" based on?
  2. BakedPenguin 13 years ago
    
    And the correct spelling is "Newcular Titties".
    
    Unless I'm too drunk to remember the correct spelling.

I'm still at work so can't watch but here's Jezebel complaining about Steak and Blowjob day:

http://jezebel.com/5878562/int.....enate-seat

Choice comment:

Yeah, those are the women who are "empowered" but also don't hang out with women much because "women are so catty." I mean, I am not a frigid bitch, and I'll cook a steak and suck some dick for my guy because I love him, but framing it as a special day for men is kind of stupid and ignores the fact that most days are special days for men. Where is my lobster and cunnilinguis day, please?

That is what Valentine's day is, hence the need for S&BJ; day. Also, great "patriarchy" line about how every day is a special man day. What day do non-fahters have?
1. Apatheist 13 years ago
  
  I'm betting she actually a frigid bitch and doesn't suck her non-existent guy's dick.
  1. killazontherun 13 years ago
    
    I don't know man, that is the most attractive sounding wording I've ever heard on that board. And I agree with her about the 'special day'. Fuck that shit. Valentine's Day is an excuse for the frigid assholes to hold back for the rest of the year.

i find it amusing that other repub candidates get criticized/ridiculed for their stance on illegal immigration but not ron paul.

ron paul is about as anti-illegal immigration as the average repub

i can't recall ANY post criticizing, let alone ridiculing him for this stance

he supported the secure fence act of 2006

he has spoken against amnesty for illegal immigrants, etc
1. Lost_in_translation 13 years ago
  
  I'm pretty sure Paul isn't interested in legislation concerning building a billion dollar fence.
  1. dunphy 13 years ago
    
    again, he SUPPORTED the secure fence act
    
    i didn't say it cost a billion dollars. he's a libertarian (small l), i doubt he would support the spending of a billion dollars on many things
    
    but again, he is strongly against illegal immigration
    
    the interesting thing is that HE does not get criticized or ridiculed for it here AT ALL despite the fact that his stances vis a vis illegal immigration are about the same as the average repub candidate, if not more harsh in that he does not support them getting free emergency medical care, etc.
    
    again, he is sympatico with the repub party line on illegal immigration, and far more against it, than many a repub who has supported amnesty
    
    yet NO criticism for it here
    
    that smacks of hero worship to me
    1. Lost_in_translation 13 years ago

      His stance is: first get rid of the welfare state, then immigrants can come in.
      
      This is a stance that is shared by other libertarians as well.
      
      The fact that libertarians can share certain views with Republicans (such as free enterprise, at least on paper) means nothing. Libertarians have never claimed they are the complete opposite of conservatives, just like they are not the complete opposite of liberals.
      1. dunphy 13 years ago
        
        which entirely misses the point
        
        he gets a free pass for it, from the same people who accuse others who are anti illegal immigration of everything from racism to xenophobia
        
        Lost_in_translation 13 years ago
        
        Well when the other candidates make claims like "all illegal immigrants are violent criminals" or "we need to build a fence and electrify them as they try and climb over" or "illegals are bad but those that go to church are ok" you can imagine listening to Paul and his "we have a right to deport illegals but the real issue is the welfare state and the way we handle immigration" might be alot more damned appealing.

  What happened, may have happened quicker, due to your being forced to pay for it ahead of the schedule by which you otherwise would have. Doesn't mean it happened better, or that it wouldn't have happened at all without NASA. Doesn't mean that it would have happened in NASA's absence, either. At least in that case, though, if it did, it would've been not just because you liked the idea of it, but rather because you'd had a compelling interest in participating financially, by one means or another.

  Eh, NASA was effective in its heyday because it was staffed by the best and brightest from private industry. After decades, NASA, like any bureauacracy has calcified by becoming risk averse and overburdened with pointless paper work. Most engineers "working" for NASA don't do anything vaguely like engineering. It's a sad bloated organization that's full of overpaid underworked zombies afraid to actually do something worth a damn to most people. Until we have some breakthroughs in physics, blasting bodies in to space is generally a waste of time anyway.

So, NBC's post-debate panel was struck by this new "flirtation" between Gingrich and Paul, as evidenced by Newt's overtures to Paul on the Fed, etc.

I like d Romney's line about how he "wouldn't trust a politician who paid more taxes than he owes," or something to that effect. It's important to remember taxes aren't patriotic, they're a necessary evil, no more, no less. Anyone who's glad to pay taxes and wants to pay more is an idiot. They made Romney's tax situation controversial, while I actually liked his answer on taxes the most out of Romney's time in the debate.

  I doubt he'd disagree with you there, but I don't think that was his actual point. He was merely trying to say, "Anybody who's too disorganized to file their taxes accurately is obviously too incompetent to be president."
  
  I think he kind of mangled what he was trying to say, so it didn't quite come out right.
  1. Dekedin 13 years ago
    
    Oh, maybe I misunderstood his point then. I thought he was making a moral point about paying more than you owe, but the disorganization thing makes sense.
2. killazontherun 13 years ago
  
  ^this. Personally, as an aside, I actually like Romney, but I would never vote for him. Unless it was for a second term where he proved to be a closet libertarian who substantially changed the direction of the country. But that is indulging in wishful thinking based on the odds being in his favor at the moment that he is going to be president, and I'm hoping something good comes out of this clusterfuck.
  1. curiousgeorge 13 years ago
    
    I completely agree with this sentiment. He's a very lovable robot, and doesn't have any positions that make me cringe. I'll still never vote for him because I see no point in allowing the Republicans to nominate someone who will so obviously not rock the boat. Now's not the time for status quo politics.

4. Amakudari 13 years ago
  
  This is nice and all, but he had $45 million in capital gains and paid 15% in capital gains taxes.
  
  This year, if someone has $60,000 in income (single, self-employed, standard deduction), he'll pay around $9,000 in federal taxes, another $9,000 in FICA/OASDI (and, let's face it, a lot of that ain't coming back) and let's say $3,500 in state taxes (California). That's about 35%. If you start looking at utility of income -- subtracting out basic costs of living and using the result as the denominator -- it's clearly a greater burden on the middle income earner. And most of that is pure cost; you're not receiving much from government, either.
  
  I'm cool with Mitt's rate being at 15%. It could be 0% for all I care. What I, and I suspect many others, are not cool with is that the government grants preferential tax treatment to eight-figure capital gains over a five-figure salary, and he's not really supporting, say, at least a revenue-neutral re-weighting of the tax code by treating capital gains (inflation-indexed, even) and earned income similarly.
  1. Cyto 13 years ago
    
    Corporations have to value their assets by "mark to market" on a regular basis. That could work for cap gains. Declare your unrealized gains quarterly - defer taxes until they are fully realized.

  2. MikeP 13 years ago
    
    Way to throw California tax in there on the middle class guy, but not on Mitt!
    
    In California, Mitt's capital gains tax would be 10.3%, raising his total over 25%.
    1. Amakudari 13 years ago
      
      Probably because Romney's not paying it.
      
      California's income tax rates are actually average until you start nearing six figures. The capital gains taxes there are IIRC the highest in the nation. By contrast Massachusetts' tax is middling (5.3%) and I don't believe New Hampshire has one.
      
      Corporations have to value their assets by "mark to market" on a regular basis.
      
      This depends on the type of asset. For short-term instruments it's true and for hard-to-value things you are required to "mark to model," but there's a reason book value and market cap rarely equal.
5. AlmightyJB 13 years ago
