The Atheist Communist Caliphate Made Flesh, Spread the Clusterfuck Around Thread

Bingo bongo.  Companies are trying to get back investors at this point.  It's still a cost cutting game at this point to show something in the black, see how long you can run the ship on a skeleton crew and then when you anticipate a true increase in demand, starting bringing in new bodies. 

Things will improve over the course of the next 4-6... years.  Of course, we'll know the true effects of all the stimulus packages then...  and I am increasingly worried about inflation right now.  It is a very real problem, and much like the mess of social security, it will one day come calling.  I would be interested to see how we are going to confront that one.  Has the Obama team touched on how they plan to deal with this yet?

If, like the mess of Social Security, inflation takes 35-70 years to "come calling" (if it ever does)...

You know what? Nevermind. I gotta go get dinner.

When discussing future government spending, one must remember three words and three words only: Medicare, Medicare, and Medicare.  Discretionary spending is nothing compared to entitlements.

Medicare, indeed.

Health care spending is out of control in this country.

Speaking of Medicare...this is good, right?

President Obama on Tuesday proposed making "pay-as-you-go" rules for federal spending into law.

A previous PAYGO mandate helped erase federal budget deficits in the 1990s, and subsequent ineffective rules contributed to the current budget deficits, Obama said. Now the PAYGO rules should be the law, he said.

But isn't this a rather large exception? Was it excepted under previous PAYGO rules?

Some costs would be exempt, including Medicare payments to doctors, the estate and gift tax, and tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2002, the White House statement said.

It's a huge exception and one that any proposed PAYGO law must have because of mandatory spending increases, i.e. Medicare.

You should ask ChuckD about the time he saw MikeC using the spellchecker.

Many brains knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Shoutbox that day, I can tell you.

Well, as we all know, spell check isn't always perfect.

... already growing old to the American pubic.

When I finally get around to starting my fake band, "American Pubic" is going to be the name of our first fake album.

According to the complaint, Sugawara and other consumers were misled not only by the use of the word "berries" in the name, but also by the front of the box, which features the product's namesake, Cap'n Crunch, aggressively "thrusting a spoonful of 'Crunchberries' at the prospective buyer."  Plaintiff claimed that this message was reinforced by other marketing representing the product as a "combination of Crunch biscuits and colorful red, purple, teal and green berries."  Yet in actuality, the product contained "no berries of any kind."  Plaintiff brought claims for fraud, breach of warranty, and our notorious and ever-popular California Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act.

Awesome.

I'll be watching this one closely, as there could be a precedent set for my lawsuit arguing that the snozberries do not indeed taste like, nor have they ever tasted like, snozberries. Lionel told me my case is a winner, or my pizza's free!

The judge has been a little unhappy since I accidentally ran over his dog.  Except replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly" and replace "dog" with the word "son".

The fake label I started for Urban Thoreau is looking to expand into producing other fictional artists. What sort of music will your band not play?
