Stock surge after
upbeat reports
on jobs, sales
Uh-oh. The paid posters are about to make it real unpleasant on these boards again. Duck and cover!
Unpleasant?
All great things. But It begs the question if you are having an unpleasant time, at any point, why would you continue?
THis is just happy fun time, a diversion from the mundane and boring tasks.
easy up there chief. Have a little fun. These are good times. No amount of surges or upbeat reports is going to shift the focus away from the reality of the debt and the deficit, so everybody wins in the long run.
See, maybe Obama was right - cutting taxes is a GREAT thing. Yeah "Obama tax cuts for the wealthy!"
And by "paid-posters" I assume you are refering to yourself, right? Wink, wink, nod, nod. :)
Begs the question..........why are you on here all day Spanky?
Just hanging out.
But I was in court this morning, and got a client meeting later today, so pretty productive all and all. Plus just got a trial continued so that's good news [more time to bill].
But thanks for asking. And you?
Spanky-

But Spanky-,
Dear, you can see yourself outside now; since FR seems beneath you, if you like.
I know you love it when you post your arrogance.
So, Bev., is that your attempt at poetry, or just more of the same standard nonsense?
Arrogance? Me? That's just speaking the truth. You know "truth to power" and all that.
Didn't you read my initial response to my buddy DBO? Just hanging out and having fun.
Plus I love Chuck and Savannh - I watch them every morning. Well at least the second half - it's on really early. Savannah is just sooooo damn cute. Feisty in a subtle, totally non Fox chick way.
But I do have a very important meeting with a new client today. Wish me luck!
Spanky and Paul, you are incorrectly using "begs the question". "Begging the question" is when the proposition you are tyring to prove is assumed in the premise of your argument.
Now days when you hear "begs the question" someone has used it incorrectly like you have. I just wanted to point out that the way you are using it is technically incorrect.
Spanky or Shark so you're a lawyer. No wonder why you like to see people being screwed and miserable. Here I thought you had a real business
Me, too, rc. And thanks.
Spanky-

Arrogance? Me? That's just speaking the truth. You know "truth to power" and all that.
Then why did you just make such a condescending remark if our are not being arrogant?
Good Golly Anna Molly - you gonna let rc talk to us like that?
And gosh rc if only it were a fake business I could pay fake taxes [and quarterly estimated payments].
Bev. since when is "truth to power" a condecending remark?
So, Bev. have you wished my luck yet? This new client could really effect my fake business. Where's the love? COmeon give me some sugar.
Anna Molly
Me, too, rc. And thanks.
Anna no offense intended. I should have stated it differently. Like Spanky you are the type of lawyer that screws people and likes to see folks in misery. There are couple in my family that practice but are not condescending and snooty like the Spankster.
UH rc you might want to try that one again my man
ease up on am
Uh Spanky I am not trying to denigrate AM as I don't have a bone to pick with her. My comments were directed at you. Anna is one of the best on this board and I wholeheartedly support her comments.
Thank you, rc. I've been enjoying your comments as well. Very much.
Spank,
Anna Molly drives rings around you. She knowns how to do her research.
By "effect" do you mean "create" your fake business? Look it up.
Which law school did you attend, anyway, Spanky? Or is it just that lazy IT guy again, letting your spelling and grammar check allow such an egregious error to go undetected?
I told you to fire him yesterday. Freeloader. Obviously doesn't deserve his job.
Because on second thought, I'm sure that YOU could never have made such a mistake on your own.
Don't worry. I won't tell that important new client. He's got enough of an uphill battle.
Okey dokey rc - let me highlight this for you, using your own words.
"Like Spanky you are the type of lawyer that screws people and likes to see folks in misery."
So with that comment you were trying NOT to denigrate AM? Huh, guess you can see why this particular "shark" might be confused.
And you are correct job1 - I hate research. That's why I got me a research attorney. She loves researching and hates court. It's a perfect fit. Plus affords me time to hang out with you all and use improper grammar and mis-spell stuff. Spelling is hard.
Words hurt rc, words hurt.
And no AM I meant effect as in have an effect on the bottom line. If you need help with that go ask you managing partner.
Spanky-
Okey dokey rc - let me highlight this for you, using your own words.
"Like Spanky you are the type of lawyer that screws people and likes to see folks in misery."
Ohhhh Spanky. Exhale and let some of that hot air out of your over inflated head. Just drop the "Like" and read the rest of the sentence. "Spanky you are the type of lawyer that screws people and likes to see folks in misery." Unlike you I don't have an employee that does full time research and I have been jumping back and forth on a deal I'm closing.
Job1
Spank,
Anna Molly drives rings around you. She knowns how to do her research.
Hey Job1 you got that right he can't hold a candle to her but he's "a legend in his own mind"
(insert buzzer sound) -- Oh, no, Spanky ... You see, what you said is: "client could really effect my fake business"
Used as a verb, "effect" means: "to produce as an effect; bring about; accomplish; make happen"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/effect
As you used it here, "my fake business" was the direct object of "effect," meaning, therefore, to make your fake business happen.
See, unlike you, apparently, I don't think grammar and spelling are that hard. But YOU may need a managing partner.
Does she also do your history revision for you, Spanky? Or do you do that all by yourself?
Because if she's doing it for you, I think you should fire her, Spanky. Freeloading slacker. If you're doing it yourself, well, then, I still feel sorry for your client.
Well, yes, I can certainly see why YOU might be confused. But given all of the foregoing, Spanky, it occurs to me that you should probably be more charitable toward what was, in the proper context provided by rc, obviously a typo. When he explained what he meant, then you, as the brilliant legal mind that you are, should have immediately inferred the typo. I did, and I'm most certainly NOT in your league. Now, as I already know that you couldn't possibly have missed such an obvious inference, I'll just have to conclude that you deliberately continued to argue the point.
You know what they say about that, don't you Spanky? Res ipsa loquitur.
Nice rc - am simple sorry to AM for you , um, oversight is all that is needed.
And yes, sir I am a legend in my own mind.
To qoute my man, Spacey "I Rule!"
And the client meeting went very well. Yay!
Hey, listen AM it's been real fun, and I do mean that, but rather than continue tonights play time, it's 5:00 and it's been a good day so I'm headed out for Happy hour.
See you tomorrow. :)
Well "spanky", you do you steer away from the facts?
Are you not trained to stay on fact?
If you steer away from facts unfavorable to your cause this must be good for the other side!
I am glad you dislike these facts...
So, an article/video about the government and 2012 becomes an internet fistfight? I'm sure there is more productive uses of everyones time that is best not used degrading each other. Have a nice day.
Hey, Spank! How about "affect"?
Wyo Lib:
Stick around and get to know us. Spanky is just toying with me, and I allow it. Wyoming is a tough place to be a liberal, but the most beautiful state in the Universe. You have friends here.
I tried to watch this video on my iPAd, but it doesn't support all types of videos. Drat! And my office computer doesn't have sound. I am such a FR addict, however, I just watched the whole thing without being able to hear anything! Guess I will go to the library tonight after work so I can hear the round table discussion. I think its really cool to see David Gregory interacting with our favorite FR guys. I'm such a FR geek.

… Among those most fearing spending cuts were younger voters, independents, seniors and suburban women—groups that include many swing voters in national elections, who potentially could turn against the GOP.
… Among those most fearing spending cuts were younger voters, independents, seniors and suburban women—groups that include many swing voters in national elections, who potentially could turn against the GOP.
Those are tidbits for the Weeper of the House. Speaker Boehnoer are you listening?
Karl Rove is and his editorial in the WSJ indicates it. He's clinically depressed.
Message to the GOP: Austerity Is Not Enough
by Karl Rove
To prevail in 2012, the GOP needs a pro-growth candidate who represents a pro-growth party. Republicans must put front and center political leaders who can speak in compelling terms about opportunity as well as sacrifice. A message of austerity and prosperity is far more powerful than either one alone.
http://www.rove.com/articles
Surely, that leaves most RepuliCons out; especially the two bimbos Sarh Palin and Michell Bachmann.
Good luck, Mr. Rove in your endeavor. Now, what was that quote you gave about the unions and their coffers?
Now, I remember...
Rove: "Every one of those 600,000 people had several hundred dollars worth of union dues going into the political coffers of their union to spend on politics. So yeah, you keep having a couple hundred thousand people each year. If a half a million people leave the labor union movement every year, pretty soon you start having a crimp in the political budget of these unions, it has a direct effect on the Presidential elections."

It's too late you have just thrown the tiger by its tail off the cliff.
You'd better stop watching Animal Planet. When Elephants run they can be lethal.
Forget politics. Did anyone see that bowl on the table? Now that's what rings MY chimes.
But there is no fruit in the bowl. KInd of a waste not to fill it.
If it is what it looks like, it's full of lead. You wouldn't want to eat the fruit. But it might look nice, for sure.
Anna Molly
Forget politics. Did anyone see that bowl on the table? Now that's what rings MY chimes.
It is a beatiful bowl. Do suppose it it's an Asian antique? It reminds me of Zen Buddhism. Maybe it gives enlightenment.
So you think it may be from China about 200 years back?
To both of you: Could very well be. Good eye.
It certainly isn't the Republicans "Reverse Robin Hoods Approach" robbing from the Middle Class, the Old, The Sick, & the Poor to give to the Rich! They forgot Bibical Principles, "Love Thy Neighbor As Thy Self"
Government by the rich for the rich. Just what the Koch Brothers want, with the Tea Party puppets doing the dirty work. The tiger is blind and going off the cliff too.
did u notice whose hands were in the bowl, or were there hidden names on paper u couldnt see...I prefer fruit
Spanky-
So, Bev. have you wished my luck yet? This new client could really effect my fake business. Where's the love? COmeon give me some sugar.
I seldom wish evil on any one. In addition to wishing you well and I hope you treat your client right.
Spanky Rules!
Poor clueless Bev in Chicago; the last time she said something witty, the Cubs won the World Series!
As a progressive, she needs to apply to the government for a "wit" bailout. Surely she can ask for some witty repartee to be included with the governmentcheck arriving every month...
Sure can tell the DEMS here!!
The GOP is not sure they can win the White House for 2012. Even with a massive money campaign, Karl Rove is still assuming that Obama as an incumbent has the advantage. That is why the caliber and number of potential GOP candidates is so low.
Even if they don't win, there are still some political points one could get from running, but they mostly help the underdogs and hurt any real contenders.
My thoughts are that the GOP leadership would like to knock both Palin and the Tea Party down a few notches since they are not playing ball with the party. I would not be the lease bit surprised if they let Palin or a Tea Party candidate take the nomination just to let them fail. Given the choice between Obama and Palin or a TP candidate, there are quite a few top GOP people who would either withhold funds or covertly donate to the Dems to ensure a defeat so they could cut the whole Tea Party movement off at the knees and get back to running their party top down again.
