Thought it was at 9EST. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 26, 2012 @ 5:21 pm I guess I must at least in a small way be a masochist Cher. 👿 Really I have for the most part ignoring the columns but things like this just catch my eye. It was either funk or KT who posted the 1996 Dem platform and it was a completely a moderate GOP platform back then. Clinton passed the GOP agenda his second term and nary a Dem said boo because the economy was ‘great’. Obama is setting a clear contrast between him being for the 99% and the GOP kowtowing to the 1% trying to end the greed is good era. We all know what Obama is proposing is just the start to turn this country around but to call it a faux populist stance, especially like Clinton’s is more BS both parties are the same meme. I’ve never seen so many people that wanted change so bad ignore the real changes that have happened already and can happen more in Obama’s second term. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 26, 2012 @ 3:32 pm Some ahole at AOLHP is at it again calling Obama a Faux populist like Clinton his second term. WTF?! Let’s look at Clinton’s second term which included draconian welfare reform, deregulating banks, no renewable energy and capital gains tax cuts. After re-regulating banks including establishing the CFPB, ending Clinton’s DADT and passing Universal healthcare, Obama’s agenda is taxing the rich (minimum tax), getting rid of tax loopholes to ship jobs overseas, passing the Dream Act and comprehensive immigration reform, huge investments in clean energy, etc. There is nothing worse than a emoprog hack. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 26, 2012 @ 12:41 pm WATCH & LIVE CHAT: President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address Excellent opening comment vivificguy. Glad you brought this insight to light. Not to long ago I came across an article showing that military spending had a stimulative effect but a relatively small one (I want to say about $0.4 for every dollar spent but don’t hold me to it). Mostly because allot of the spending goes off sure in times of war and the military pays so poorly. Of course we all know the spending that goes into the industrial portion of the MIC is allot of waste that makes a few people rich. But bottom line you are right that stimulus spending that occurred because of increased MIC spending is never factored into Bush’s jobs growth. If you look at Reagan’s jobs growth it’s almost directly related to doubling the pentagon budget for example. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 25, 2012 @ 12:41 pm Spot on K! » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 24, 2012 @ 8:38 pm I’m not to worried about that number because allot of it was skewed during the debt ceiling debate and compared to congress he is polling 4X better. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 24, 2012 @ 5:24 pm Cher when I see some of these poll numbers, not the direct poll numbers but those about what people care about I cringe. I still think Obama has about a 50-50 chance of being reelected. The thing is I keep on seeing the wrong concerns amongst Americans like that the size of government is too big when it’s shrinking. Or that the economy is still in declining when it’s been expanding for a while and even job growth has increase for a couple years now. There is still way too much concern over the deficit as well. I think it’s going to really take until unemployment is in the mid 7% or lower for Obama to have a real advantage and that will probably not happen in time. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 24, 2012 @ 12:34 pm LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate in FL on NBC – 1-23-12 Looks like I’m not the only one who fell asleep and it seems like AdLib was right. A very boring debate. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 8:27 pm How did it go? I fell asleep. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 8:05 pm Strap on your bullshyte decoders kids and get the dogs out of the room it’s almost time for the Battle of the Newtron Stars and the Romnulan Empire. Will the Empire strike back? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 6:01 pm Sorry I only speak Gungan. ‘Jar Jar thinks I Newton will winit don’tcha don’tcha.’ » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 5:58 pm Load up the clown car now but this time Newt is driving. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 5:54 pm Absolutely Sue! I’m so fed up with this shite. Apple made huge profits manufacturing in the US and they never had to play the race to the bottom pricing game because of their excellent quality. Their iPads, iPhones and iPods are POS compared to the quality of their old computers which people would use for years and years. Now they have products they want you to use for two years and then upgrade like all the rest. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 4:39 pm Yeah ‘flexible’ means American workers won’t subject themselves to work camps where they work for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for nearly nothing. It’s a complete cope out. The fact is American business helped make the deplorable work environments overseas and want American workers to race to the bottom to serve as their indentured servants. I get so tired of the excuses because companies like Apple are making record profits but it’s never enough. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 23, 2012 @ 3:44 pm Forward to the Past – Victorian Politics Today Well done CL. I keep on saying the GOP wants to go back before the 1860’s and this piece enforces that argument much better than I could. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 25, 2012 @ 10:21 pm Periodic Table of Dangerous Elements: 2012 Election Edition I look at it as great minds think alike Sally. 😉 » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 25, 2012 @ 11:20 pm Kes has it right. It’s a play on Higgs Boson aka ‘God Particle’. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 8:27 pm The old article is still around. I just took references to ACORN off because it was a bit dated and added the villains from Arab Spring. Though ‘Pimpium’ and Hoium were a couple of personal faves as well. Here’s a link to the old table. I just didn’t want to confuse people. https://planetpov.com/2010/02/02/periodic-table-of-dangerous-elements/ » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 8:23 pm Great one Q! My personal favorite is ‘Huckaboson’ and you are probably one of the few people that know why with your science background. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 5:30 pm Thanks. Good idea. I think Sarah Palin would be in that category. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 12:44 pm Cheers mate. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 9:38 am Explosive smelly gas, perfect! » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 22, 2012 @ 9:38 am This was my most popular tweet tonight with 10 RTs ‘Stop reading off that sheet in front of you Newt. It’s just a 1970’s teleprompter.’ » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 8:48 pm Thank you K. Does it still look too small when you click on it? » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 6:17 pm Cheers I appreciate your kind words. I’m a chemist so it was definitely within my skill set. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 6:15 pm Yup, thanks much. I did the first one about two years ago when the teabaggers were more prominent. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 3:58 pm Cheers Okilledum is one of my faves too. I think ‘Recallum’ goes well with Kasich’s partner in crime Walker too. AdLib came up with ‘Ispyonu’ for Murdoch that I thought was brilliant. I just made it sound a bit more ‘elementary’. I have to admit though finding the pictures was beyond easy with this bunch of clowns. I don’t know what Rick Scott looks like more though Nosferatu or Voldemort. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 3:37 pm 2012 South Carolina GOP Primary Thread I don’t think it would be worth the effort trying to organize it. Even with big blowhards on the right wing pushing ‘operation chaos’ it just didn’t work. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 8:04 pm The other story here is this is the first state where there has been a significantly higher GOP turnout, roughly 10-20% higher than in 2008 which I think shows the base was waiting for the red meat. Because in IA and NH turnout was less than 5% higher in both states and that was with big Ron Paul votes from moderates and even some Dems. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 8:01 pm he he » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 21, 2012 @ 7:50 pmComments Posted By KQµårk 死神
