How many foreigners is it proper to kill in a videogame?
Depends on how many diamond-encrusted skulls they have stolen.

Weird! However, pretty sure it was a reference to the brilliantly terrible looking 50 Cent game.

Unless they're brown.
Then it's racist.
Clearly you've never played Call of Duty 4.

Actually, it's being broadcast live right now at ccn and msnbc. We all knew this was coming soon (hooray!), but I have to ask: When the announcement is proceeded by a public prayer (to 'tha Lard'), how do we appear any different than the religious zealots we've been fighting?
Oh, you already guessed the answer. We don't. :rolleyes:
I am glad this is finally done. And yes, the prayer shit is stupid.
However, I am thoroughly unimpressed by Obama. He is just as unoriginal and uninspiring as the next guy. I was really excited for his new campaign and was on board, but now I'm done. This whole economic stimulus shit is a big bunch of waste.
Bush's administration was a joke, but the economic stimulus was ten pages long. It was short-sighted and stupid, but it was simple and to the point.
This new one is 481 pages and costs an enormous sum of money that involves so much extra complicated fluff and shit that it is like a three ring circus.
To be fair, this is more an extension of the shitty Congress we have right now, but Obama's promise of change has yet to be realized and delivered. So far all he has done is backpedal on some promises and regurgitate the same shit that has failed in the past.
Can I have a new country, please?

I personally applaud Obama for how fast he's moving on this shit and how transparent he's being about most of it. We can bitch all we want amount this massive stimulus bill but the truth is the people bitching about it are bitching about a very small part of it. The fucktards are making a big stink about it, the media is eating it up and the republicans are using this as leverage and doing nothing but playing politics while the rest of us suffer in joblessesness and trying to make ends meet. NEWS FUCKING FLASH: THE ELECTION IS OVER!
If the gripe is with the stimulus bill in the first place, you're not alone, there are alot of people (including myself) that feel this bill could and should have been avoided all together. The problem is the lack of representation in Washington.
The piece of shit republicans don't know how to do anything other than moan about the current administrations decisions while not proposing any alternatives. The media is damn right, they sat in Washington for 8 years and did jack shit. Obama's done more in one month than Bush did in two terms.
If the republican party wanted to avoid socialism, they had their chance, and they let the American people down. God save America and her unrepresented masses.
P.S - there is also a growing group of people who are actively promoting socialism, saying capitalism has failed. To them I would like to say that capitalism does not involve the government proping failing businesses up. This is exactly WHY we need a stimulus bill now. Don't try to sell me this 'America is capitalist yaa!' bullshit.

I keep hearing this, along with 'it's all pork for Pelosi and Reid's districts' but seriously, where are you guys getting this info? I've been checking recovery.gov for more specific details about the stimulus spending and it doesn't say shit. Is there another source where we can see exactly what this 'pork' and 'fluff' is that everyone's bitching about? I know there's got to be some in there, but one man's pork is another man's Fillet Mignon, y'know? I'd just like to see it for myself instead of getting all these stupid fucking soundbytes that tell me nothing.
EDIT: Okay, now I'm starting to get really pissed. In the FAQ at recovery.gov I found the following:
Q: I heard I'd be able to track recovery funds. Why can't I do that?
A: You aren't able to track funds yet because we have not yet started receiving information from Federal agencies on how they are going to allocate the money. It takes a little bit of time for them to make sure your money is going to be spent wisely. Right now, the site features an overview of the law and an explanation of what it is intended to accomplish. You will have access to data as soon as we begin receiving it from agencies.So let me ask again for emphasis: Exactly what 'fluff' are we talking about here, and where are you getting the information from? If you quote a Republican or Fox New, I will cock rape you to death in your left ear hole.

I am utterly unsuprised that such a thing even needs to be said.
