i don’t know why, but i watched the chris christie speech last night. nice way for him to pitch for the 2016 nomination like Obama did when giving the keynote for Kerry.
i didn’t hear any messaging to appeal to undecided voters, which was interesting.

As ugly as this campaign is getting that wouldn’t surprise me if that was some sort of plant. Regardless, and whether it was or wasn’t a plant, that sort of crap has been going on since 2000, at least, and it’s getting old from both sides. The more they run down this slippery slope of ugly politics the more the leading minds, etc., will continue to go in to business to make more money and do it more anonymously than serving as an elected official.

It would be interesting for the candidates to both just say “fuck it” at the same time and announce a platform of policies they truly want to enact should Congress/society let them.
Obama could just come out and say he wants a single-payer healthcare system, much higher taxes on the wealthy, increased control over corporations, stricter environmental regulations, pot legalization, while Romney could advocate for a zero tax rate for anyone making over $250,000, no regulations, drilling everywhere, massive cutting of social programs, total abortion bans, prayer in schools, less worker rights, elimination of unions and completely privatized schools and healthcare.
Just see where the public comes down. Would be an interesting exercise.

Continuation of Bush’s policy
I’m not sure that “Wanted: Dead or Alive” is a policy.
I finished reading Manhunt: the 10-Year Hunt for Bin Laden the other day. The Obama administration should get a lot of credit for the success of that operation. He didn’t just say, “Go.” He personally worked with Panetta to increasing funding and make catching bin Laden a priority. He had to choose between four VERY risky mission options, personally demanded backup choppers for the teams going into the Abattobad complex (ones that turned out to be essential to the mission), and risked his entire presidency on violating Pakistani airspace without permission to take out a terrorist on a risky night raid awho may or may not have even been in the residential complex.
SEAL team 6, the CIA, McRaven, and everyone involved did an outstanding job and deserves nothing but respect. But crediting Obama with part of that success is more than fair.

I know there are more people into politics, but I would guess if you made a list of the top eight GOP 2016 candidates, none will win.
“Getting your name out there” gives people more time to dig up stuff on you and pick your policies apart. I think somebody will come charging at the last moment and get the nomination. The endless news cycle just tires people out. I’m not saying it’ll be a fringe candidate, but just somebody who waits and engages the process differently.

True story. This is rarely mentioned anymore but Corzine was a dead man walking in 2008. Booker is extremely popular in New Jersey and could really get voters to come out in his favor. Christie is going to have a real fight on his hands.
A cool show on IFC called Brick City chronicled Booker and his struggles to try and clean up a really shitty section of New Jersey. Awesome documentary series. I believe there are two seasons.

I finished reading Manhunt: the 10-Year Hunt for Bin Laden the other day. The Obama administration should get a lot of credit for the success of that operation. He didn’t just say, “Go.” He personally worked with Panetta to increasing funding and make catching bin Laden a priority. He had to choose between four VERY risky mission options, personally demanded backup choppers for the teams going into the Abattobad complex (ones that turned out to be essential to the mission), and risked his entire presidency on violating Pakistani airspace without permission to take out a terrorist on a risky night raid awho may or may not have even been in the residential complex.
Completely agree. I think some people realize this was a major feather in the cap and have got to de-politicize the whole thing. But I think whacking Bin Laden gives Barrack alot of cred in the voters world.
If finding and whacking Bin Laden was so easy it would have been done a lot sooner.

You should read that book, you’d probably really like it. Not too long, but the author has a ton of access both here and overseas and traces bin Laden’s movements from 9/11 all the way through his death. Really provides a lot of insight into the man, how effective we actually were in dismantling al Qaeda, and how risky the call to send in the SEALs really was (Gates and Biden advised against it in fact).
Fucking incredible that Obama killed it at the Correspondent’s Dinner knowing the SEAL raid was going to take place 10 hours later, too. Cold blooded.

Has there been a legit economic study on this?
obviously you mean “many in depth TBL discussions” when you say “Legit”
you increase penalties for people selling w/o a permit, growing w/o a permit, etc. handle the permits to grow for profit the same way you do a liquor license, permits to grow for personal use are cheaper, but carry stiff penalties if you sell it.
states will tax the shit out of it, but it will still be cheaper than weed on the street since big tobacco will get the mass distribution rights.
rewrite the laws and handle it like alcohol, no open “containers” while driving, no smoking while driving, no smoking while in the presence of kids. change the emphasis on law enforcement to target those breaking the permit laws and the misdemeanor laws rather than trying to arrest, prosecute and imprison those under the current laws.
increased tax revenue and reduction in cost from the law enforcement side. profit.

Shit blowing everywhere. Just easiest to drink yourself into oblivion b/c cooking in that atmosphere is terrible. And that doesn’t even consider that you have to go watch the Browns.

i don’t think it’s feasible for harder drugs to be legalized. there’s a higher risk of overdose and addiction, not to mention needles and disease transmission, so you’d need dedicated spaces like an opium den with trained on site EMT’s. there’s a huge liability risk for the owners of those establishments as well, and if they control the clientele to just the high end user who like to dabble you’re still putting the addicts on the streets looking for something to use.
i think overall we’d be better off legalizing weed and using the resources to concentrate on the Rx drug trade and some of the harder drug distribution.

Kings in Kinston
Moores in New Bern
Wilburs or McCalls in Goldsboro
Parkers in Greenville (better sides than B’s)
plenty of others, but those are the standouts that come to mind at the moment. i’m sure i have forgotten some good ones

Instead of the sweet tea vodka, I usually just do a top shelf vodka mixed with the Arizona brand Arnold Palmer drink and top it off with a mint. The mint is crucial.

You really actually believe this? NO black person is going to vote for Romney. This the sort of crap CNN puts out there.
Hold on, you guys really understand that 0% in a national poll doesn’t equal ZERO people right?? I believe Obama won 96% of the black vote in the last election. So saying Romney will win less than 1% isn’t far fetched seeing he’s seen as an even bigger “Uncle Tom” to the eyes of the public. Let’s say the voting public is around 90M, less than one person would mean about a Million black Romney voters. Again possible, but not far fetched to say he gets under 1% of the vote. The Zero percent in polling doesn’t mean ZERO people.

I wont go to a football game after October. I generally hate attending at all because of the cost, travel time, horrible fanbase — I can watch in glorious warm HD from the comfort of my basement — but once it becomes miserable to tailgate, that’s it.
This is one area where global warming has helped, because I agree with you.
I have learned to play it by ear after October, with respect to tailgating outside or going to a bar before the game if I’m going. I’m old, so I won’t drink outside in the cold if I don’t have to.

The book calls out inaccurate accounts of the assault. “The raid was being reported like a bad action movie,” Owen writes. “At first, it was funny because it was so wrong.”
Contrary to earlier accounts, Owen says SEALs weren’t fired upon while they were outside the gate of the compound. There was no 40-minute firefight. And it wasn’t true that bin Laden had “time to look into our eyes.”

The account in the Manhunt book differs somewhat from what the new SEAL book says. There was no firefight and OBL wasn’t armed. That much is in sync at least.
Also, as much as I hate to say it, the Justice Department should issue an injunction against publication of the book and the writer should face charges. You can’t just write an unauthorized book if you work for the SEALs. Huge problem for me.

You can’t just write an unauthorized book if you work for the SEALs. Huge problem for me.
why not? they know exactly what they’re doing when they write em.

Expect to see the Ricin again. Tried to kill Tuco and Gus with it and failed. Maybe Hank if he gets too close.
i would be extremely disappointed if walt kills hank.
however, i think hank is smart enough to realize that if Walt is Heisenberg, he could have been responsible for the deaths of Gale and Gus so he’ll play it safe and not dick around with it. dont let on that you know, keep your distance, and take him down.

All the accounts of the SEALs raid just reminds me of the opening to Tropic Thunder about all the books written.

It wasn’t vetted by the Defense Department for classified information. You want to cash in, fine. But you’re a member of the military, and like it or not, there’s a process that must be followed.

I think over time we’ll learn that even the Seals are bad with not leaking out details on some of their operations.

I was thinking this might qualify under my controversial new pedophile rules… holy crap, she’s 23? I just always assumed she was 16… wasn’t she on Nickelodeon? Somewhere there is a cognitive disconnect.

Yeah, that shit is going to happen here and there. But actively writing a book on the subject without clearance bothers me. It would bother me if the SEAL took shots at Bush and it bothers me that he accuses Obama of using the raid for political gain.

and where will you be tailgating next?
Was hoping to make it to the App St. v. ECU game in G-Vegas, but sadly could not make it down there.
Re: Greenville. It is a fun town, but would never want to live there my whole life. The hood rats across the train tracks on the west side of 5th street are getting worse it seems.

Yeah I had it here at a Toronto German beer hall style bar. It was weird but I find myself craving it from time to time, that and the appropriate sized beers.

Ahh Boone, the ol’ Teachers College. Dad told me stories of going up there in the late 50′s to pick up girls since the ratio was like 12-1 girls to guys.

Two thoughts on this. This summer I’ve gotten more into caramelizing some onions for my brats. It has almost become a must for me now. So good. Also, I’m being doing bratburgers more than regular sausage shaped brats. Love the bratburgers.
onions, sauerkraut, braised cabbage and good mustard are a must for my brats. Those 3 dipper crock pots are good holders for toppings. I also keep my grilled brats in a beer jacuzzi (a larger crock pot)- beer, horseradish mustard, onion and garlic.
When I make my own brats, I go for patties cause my stuffer sucks.

Buddy of mine went to Albuquerque and got to meet most of the cast of Breaking Bad and see some of the props like the RV and Walt’s old car,etc..
He said the actor that plays Hank (cant think of his name) was really cool, and a very nice guy. He said all the cast was great, he met Bryan Cranston, Mike and Gomez too.

Doubtful. Would love to, but wife would probably be less than thrilled about me meeting up with random online folk and leaving her with the kids. Also, it’s her birthday that week, so I’m sure we’ll have something going on for that on the 6th.

wonder if the new yorker will issue any type of statement on their totally retarded fabricated account of the OBL raid…
The account in the Manhunt book differs somewhat from what the new SEAL book says. There was no firefight and OBL wasn’t armed. That much is in sync at least.
Also, as much as I hate to say it, the Justice Department should issue an injunction against publication of the book and the writer should face charges. You can’t just write an unauthorized book if you work for the SEALs. Huge problem for me.
I’m in a weird place where I totally agree with your points…but I’m also gonna buy it when it hits shelves.
