You know what is pissing me off?

Reading posts saying I am ignoring certain posters.

I am annoyed having to wade though a shitload of posts that say that when there really is good arguments from both sides here. What the hell ever happened to respecting everyone

:lol: Brian reminds himself to read the posts slowly... :P

As for the elitist thing... It IS elitist because you are suggesting his education is more valuable and worthy than hers. "Only the RIGHT college, you see... Not that silly little place Palin went to..."

Let's be honest... there is a bit of elitist in some supporters of Barack Obama. Heather Mallick anyone?

And then there's McCain supporter Lynn Forester de Rothschild, worth about $600 million dollars along with her husband.

Ah yes........real "Salt Of The Earth" folk there. Out there in the fields........in Europe........ordering her workers to work harder.

I guess when the world financial community collapses she can get a job at White Castle. :)

He really was linked to the Keating Five. He wasn't found guilty of anything though. He says it is one of those things that ended up being a kind of defining moment for him. It's what convinced him to advocate so heavily for campaign finance reform. I guess it's a good and a bad.

All the polls are within the margin of error regardless. I think there are a lot of problems with polls this year.

Obama Laments Debt, But Promises Billions for Anti-Poverty Program

Barack Obama, who lamented Friday that “we have not managed our federal budget with any kind of discipline,” is nonetheless promising to spend $50 billion on a United Nations anti-poverty program that critics say will drive up American debt.

--------------------

Is this a good idea? I have an idea what my friends on the right think about all this... but what about my friends on the left? Roman, Wales, etc. -- what do ya'll think about Barack's promise to spend this $50 billion of American money?

Well, lets' see.

Thanks for putting me on the left, even though I have never said where my ideology stands.

Let's see.......$50 billion dollars to help poor people.......while, under the Bush Admin., Iraq has $80 billion dollars of our money in their banks while we currently have hit the financial crisis.

And gas is still through the roof while Big Oil makes out with billions and the CEOs of the companies we all just bailed out made off like bandits.

You're right, Wost.

We should not spend that money on poor people.

    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
    • Another great episode.  GH has been pretty good this year, loading up the chamber, because now there's many bullets to fire, and another one was fired today when Nina found out Michael is the father of Sasha's baby.  I hope this secret comes out at the hearing.  I've also liked the slow burn with Gio/Emma. There's just so many things to look forward to on this show now.  GH is finally back to being really good. 
    • I'm all for it. Get them Nina!

    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
