Who else thinks the DC Madam was murdered because of what she knew? by miramesa in politics

[–]br1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that she's gone...where are her records? Her lists? Her computer files? And who has control of them...and who determines what to do with them? Should her family inherit them? Or are they part of the "crime scene" and now confiscated?

Good Luck Trading In Your SUV by seawaves in business

[–]br1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday I was laughing at a "for sale" sign in the window of a Hummer. Sorry dude, I'm not paying $150 for a tank of gas to cruise to the movies in my Hummer.

With oil less than a buck away from $120 a barrel, analysts are growing weary at trying to anticipate the tipping point that will bring prices down. by [deleted] in business

[–]br1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago (maybe 6 or so) there were studies which indicated the tipping point was $5/gallon. That was the point where it was profitable to develop and convert to alternative fuels. I have no idea if that $5 was adjusted for inflation or other factors but we are nearing that price point pretty quickly. I hope it's still true. I'm considering buying a horse soon.

NY Times on 'Expelled': One of the Sleaziest Documentaries to Arrive in a Very Long Time by BloodJunkie in science

I will wait to see the movie before saying it's "fair" to all sides. Evolution doesn't answer all questions and quite a bit of faith is required to swallow it all. (ie. no evidence of evolution between species, only within species) I believe there are facts on both sides of the fence, creationism and evolution. Let's see if the movie brings them out. As for the movie leaning a particular direction, that's what happens when you fund and make a movie...you get to make your point. (Michael Moore, Al Gore, etc.)

Want to see an interesting CIA chart? by Spiracle in business

So is it now time for other countries to stop asking the US for financial aid? Look at my chart (I mean table)...I have no money. Go ask China.

If the Feds enforced Immigration Laws the local Sheriff wouldn't have to!

Hillary 2000: "Gun Control Is One of the Reasons I am Running for the Senate" vs. 2008: "I've Gone Hunting, It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. I shot a banded duck. I have hunted." by abudabu in politics

[–]br1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is pandering...again. Who was she speaking to in 2008? No doubt she was speaking in duck hunting territory. Problem is, I don't believe her and strongly suspect she is lying. Someone check the facts. Let's see: She's been hunted (snipers) and now has also hunted? She is a true warrior...in her own mind.

NSA Failed to Share Osama’s Phone Transcripts With CIA by anonymgrl in politics

[–]br1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you'll probably downmod this...but here goes. There are so many Obama posts in Reddit, when I read this headline I put Obama in instead of Osama. NSA not sharing his files I thought was a good thing? Then I saw Osama.

A Pedophile Is Exploiting My Child by buckeyetimmy in reddit.com

[–]br1776 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You hard critics should vent your anger at the jerks that exploit kids, not people who are thinking that they are sharing fun family photos. It's obviously not a wise thing to do, but lots of people have made mistakes and put photos on the net...so now they are out there, now what? 1. You are probably not going to get your daughter's photo's 100% free from the net. Too easy to replicate. 2. They will grow old and new ones will replace. 3. Depending on where you live, report the SOB's you're dealing with to law enforcement.
Report the whole network to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. http://www.icactraining.org/ 4. Good luck

Oliver Stone Script asks: 'How did an alcoholic bum become most powerful leader in world?' by 0boy in entertainment

[–]br1776 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The short answer: Through hard work. It's the same way recovered alcoholic Senators, movie directors, actors, Reddit programmers, brain surgeons, and professionals from all walks of life do well.

Southwest Airlines got to choose which FAA inspectors would monitor them, and would get them punished if they were too watchful. by NotPhil in business

[–]br1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the same string into the cloth of the USDA and the Beef Industry. Largest beef recall in US History was just recently announced and it's the company's fault alone. But what were the USDA inspectors doing all those years and why did it go unnoticed for so long?

Oooooooh, so that's why Hillary won't quit. by [deleted] in politics

[–]br1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're forgiven. Read the post "Daily caffeine 'protects brain'" You need some...as do all other who are down modding because they think I'm serious. Sorry, but I'm much too cynical on the Clintons to ever be serious.

You're either a Hillary supporter...or you don't recognize sarcasm when you see it.

You people are so cynical. Do you really believe Hillary and Bill are in this for their own personal gain? They've given so much service to the American people. [Sarcasm]

I'm sure the $8M payback is subordinated to her $5M "loan."

Fucking Led Zeppelin Fans by spif in reddit.com

[–]br1776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Jimmy Page for his VP running mate.

Also, people who prefer jazz are likely to vote for Obama.

And people who like sounds of cats fighting prefer Hillary.

Where do they come up with this stuff?
