Roundup: From Homeless Volunteer to NFL Broadcaster, the Evolution of Jeopardy & Video of MLB’s Longest Home Run of 2011
Christina Hendricks … here’s a slideshow of Erin Andrews offering workout tips … an eel entered this man’s bladder through his penis … arbitrary US News & World report college rankings, anyone? … “Austerity boosts unemployment, lowers paychecks ” … over 46 million people are living in poverty … twitter is suing over the word ‘tweet’ … the world has done a great job fighting malaria … a WTF tattoo, indeed … Michelle Bachmann said something irresponsible again … Detroit loyalty … she got five years in jail for that McDonald’s attack …

Re-posted from Lisk’s waiver wire line.
Also, Lisk, if you see this: why wouldn’t Early Doucet be a better pickup? #2 WR on a team that will likely be trailing and passing a lot, and teams have to worry about rolling coverage to Fitzgerald’s side.

Ending the Federal Reserve is not a sane option, period. After Jackson killed off the Second Bank of the US, the economy went into bust & boom every three-five years. The crisis of 1837 is considered a fairly good equivalent to what is going on right now (credit boom/contraction)

September 14th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
A very simple breakdown of the GOP primary. The rational choice is Romney. Paul is the true believer. Everyone else is someone who says things that piss liberals off, and whoever gets the best coverage of their things that piss liberals off will be Romney’s biggest threat, but they probably won’t win. Paul doesn’t get enough votes because the people who you would think would vote for him would rather vote for someone who pisses liberals off more. The end.

Yes, in the post-Depression economy, there are normal slow down/recessionary periods due to rise in inputs, global issues and periodic shocks (1973 oil embargo). Prior to stagflation & the 1980s recessions, the GDP negative growth was never greater than -3%
September 14th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
I think the exact opposite. since she is completely over-rated I think she would find a way to beat out other deserving winners and somehow fluke her way into the final four, only to be upset by something culturally significant like Lavern & Shirley and everyone would be up in arms about it.
