Mousetrap:  depending on who I play, so am I 

Jim Dandy:  I listened to the entire interview.  She's great and her thesis is right on.  And she was very civil too.  The caller had a great line about a boil.....

Artful Dodger: That caller must have been a plant,she sounded hypnotized

Jim Dandy:I doubt that.  But she did sound like she had written her response.

I can tell you from experience that what that caller said is so very true.  I've seen dozens of examples of that sort of thing.  Kid has a kid, is irresponsible, and grandparents raise the child.  Meanwhile, the "mother" gets all kinds of government assistance.  My brother is one of those grandparents.  He's been raising two of his grandkids (and he's a step dad).  Coulter is spot on with regard to single parents (statistically speaking).  There's always exceptions but exceptions don't make the rule.  Society would do well to pay attention to the research she cites. 

Artful Dodger: The comment that surprised me,was the high achievment level of adopted kids.I had never though about it,but in reflection,it makes sense.

Jim Dandy:  hmmmm, I missed that one.  Who made that comment?  Coulter?

Artful Dodger: Her or Zombie Lady

Listening to COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY
at the moment. 

Artful Dodger: I've been a C to C addict for over a decade,but since I moved my home is in a radio dead zone.I pick up 640 at about 60% most nights,sometimes not at all

Jim Dandy:yeah but it's on the net.  Do you have dialup or cable?

Jim Dandy:Bernice alert!!!   Mind your P's and Q's.

Artful Dodger: It comes on at 1am,I like to fall asleep listening to it.I don't bring my laptop to the bedroom

Artful Dodger: hey sexy....love your pic :)

Artful Dodger: as has every other for the past...oh,I dunno...FOREVER...untill we all carpool to Washington and crash the gates and forcefully take back DC..not to much I can do,is there?

Bernice:   I grew some hair  lol

Artful Dodger: No wonder they were dead against the Bush tax rebates..

Artful Dodger: LOL "Where's The Beef"?

our Govt has just given every man, woman and child $950 each....that is over and above the more than $1000 that pensioners/disabled got before xmas.......how to go broke in a hurry :(

Bernice: What are you gonna do with your money?

well I sure as hell aint going to spend it........it is the most stupid idea I have ever heard of....there are enough drunks/homeless/druggies as there is without giving them more money to spend on like....it just makes me sick.....mine will go in the bank with the rest of my millions LOLOL

Jim Dandy: small things amuse small minds ROFL................

Bernice: and only small minds would notice

Foxy Lady:It will be in my tummy if I find it!

Bernice:That is so crazy.  Whey did they do that?  The US did something similar.  We got 1200 dollars from the knucklehead government.  They wanted to stimulate the economy.  I put it in the bank for a rainy day.

Jim Dandy:  It was like a modern day Monte Python mixed with a little Marx brothers and Chaplin thrown in.

Artful Dodger: I thought it was a classic Mel Brooks type skit

Jim Dandy:  Almost.  It needed beans and a fire pit. 

Artful Dodger: I remember...now this was YEARS ago tho..I was maybe 13...my Dad and I were watching the nightly news ( I always had a thing for that,lol) and they were reporting on bad government spending...they reported on the one,it was to study the flow rate of ketchup....to this DAY I wonder why anyone would need,or care to have to spend millions of dollars on that...me and Daddy joked about that up untill he died

anastasia:  that pretty much sums up this stimulus package.  It's our money and congress is wasting it.  Most news (if not all) agencies agree.  It needs serious trimming.

Artful Dodger:

Whey did they do that? The US did something similar. We got 1200 dollars from the knucklehead government. They wanted to stimulate the economy. I put it in the bank for a rainy day.


I had heard that a lot of people hadnt spent their money like the government had hoped.... I personally went straight to sears and bought a new lawn mower and refrigerator!!


I dont know what people get from holding on to their money, really??? Its meant to stimulate the economy, and its money you didnt have before anyway, why not help out the economy and spend away???

You say you believe in trickle down economics, yet you horde a government stimulus incentive???


Shame on you AD and bernice too!

Czuch:

I agree... I used mine on a 6-month dosage of Viagra..I was under the impression it was to be used for stimulation...

Czuch: I spend my money when I want to.  I just bought my wife a new computer (lap top) and we just purchased round trip flights to Arizona.  Car rental too.  So that will put some bucks back into the economy.  So I've more than spent that money but on my terms and not on the governments.  I never buy something just cuz I have the money (the government could learn from that).  You should see the truck I drive.  I could buy a new one outright but why?  Better off in the bank.  I say good for me and bernice!  ;)

Last year I spent mine on Phillies tickets , 32 tickets all together, baseball players need financial help too!

Charles Martel:Yeah but those are essentials. 

awesome: ROFLMAO

Jim Dandy: and even smaller minds to remark on the fact I noticed

Artful Dodger: ***I say good for me and bernice! ;)*** and Im like you....no one tells me when or where to spend...when I need something I will pay for it but spending for the sake of spending is a waste of money....

Bernice: You're bad.  

Bernice: You tell him girl.

Artful Dodger: hehehe....love being bad ROFL.

Artful Dodger:
• $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program....
feds are giving out iou's for the coupon program.

Artful Dodger: They say change is one of the true constants of the universe....... anyone who just stands still and does not move is practically dead... ie the unmoved mover or the moved mover.

Life flows.....

huh?....

Bwild:  And Nancy Pelosi stands before the press and says that Americans are losing 500 million jobs a month.  Um, there aren't that many people living in the US. Let's see, there are 305,758,372.  Kinda like democrats that vote.  More vote than are registered.  More are registered than the entire population of any given State.  So at least her math is consistent!
