Re: Billionaire Gives $5 MILLION to Gingrich Campaign
I disagree with the Court rulings that somehow corporations are "people"... Do you mean that broadly, or only in the context of political free speech? The concept that corporations are "people" under the law has been extremely beneficial and ensconsed in American law for almost ...

Re: Billionaire Gives $5 MILLION to Gingrich Campaign
Who are the top two soft drink producers in the world? Why do you know that? You have far more faith in the intelligence and bullshit regulators of the rabble than I do. I agree that things were bad before citizens united but I'm guessing the amount of money spent on this year's election will far e...

Re: Billionaire Gives $5 MILLION to Gingrich Campaign
And that's changed how exactly from prior elections? I'd argue that we've had auctions ever since Jefferson and Adams went at it. It's not like elections were pure and innocent up to the moment the Citizens verdict was handed down, as some on here are basically implying. And yes, there are plenty o...

Re: Billionaire Gives $5 MILLION to Gingrich Campaign

Re: The Cuse - #1
haha nova is such a joke this year. I guess the bright spot is we don't have a senior on the team so everyone is coming back plus new recruits. Syracuse looked like a beast though I must say. Problem is, there's no on other than Yarou on the current team who is really good enough. Wayns and especia...

Re: The Cuse - #1
Amazing- 17 games in and they've played maybe two decent teams (Florida and Marquette) and both were at home. The first time they could play a ranked opponent on the road would be in mid-February when they play Louisville. As good as 'Cuse is, it's also hard to see because they've played nobody, esp...

Re: National Wealth Tax - A "conservative's" view
I agree - the intent isn't bad, but valuation becomes impossible. No matter how you do it, it's always going to be hard to pull tax money from really wealthy people who just sit on their cash (i.e. don't work, don't invest, don't really do much of anything). However, the number of people who do that...

Re: New Delaware QB
A new QB will only be able to do so much with the offense KCK likes to run. Throw in the bag of manure we get sold about this offense being so complex to learn, and I think I'll reserve any excitement until the next time we sweep the MVC in the playoffs. Now, if Keeler actually plans on changing th...

Re: Andy Reid Keeps Job!
In my mind, the NFL's turned into a QB-league (and has been that way for a while now). How the QB goes so goes the Eagles, and that hasn't changed. Vick needs to avoid the turnovers and he needs to stay on the field. If he doesn't do that, and I don't think Reid being here impacts that at all, then...

Re: Andy Reid Keeps Job!
I was neutral on this. Changing Reid wouldn't have fixed what ails the Eagles. Juan Castillo was a problem early on, but the defense got better and there's no reason to think they won't still be better next year with a full year under their belts. Heck, they may even get a linebacker or two. The off...
