Replacements - Valentine Well you wish upon a star that turns into a plane And I guess that's right on par Who's left to blame? If you were a pill I'd take a handful at my will And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong Plenty of times you wake up in February make-up Like the moon and the morning star you're gone Tonight makes love to all your kind Tomorrow's makin' Valentines Hey you pop up in this old place So sick and so refined (divine?) Are you strung out on some face? Well I know it ain't mine If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will, And I'd knock you back

Dude wants to be my governor, that we he'll just torment we Iowans and spare the rest of the country.

Because the "public" licenses the public airwaves to radio stations. The government is the conduit for regulating those airwaves. We don't allow Howard Stern to swear, we could, within the confines of the 1st Amendment, restrict freedom of speech over said airwaves. Not saying I agree with said logic, but I'm pretty sure that's the justification.

We don't need a fairness doctrine, we need a BS detector. While I'm a conservative, I realize that a lot of what spews forth for Hannity and Limbaugh's pie holes is garbage. Local talk hosts are even worse. We have a guy in DM, Steve Deace, whose stupidity and hubris are absurd. Yet he finds an audience. My colleagues and I -- teachers -- need to do our job teaching critical thinking and analysis skills. With even a modest amount of either, most mass media would shrivel and die.

I look at this doctor like a deadbeat dad (or mom). He helped bring these kids into the world, he should provide child support before taxpayers pay 1 cent! Including her hospital bills.

My understanding of economics is very, very basic, but I've been wanting to read The Forgotten Man. The basic thesis is that the New Deal did much more harm than good. I've always believed that WWII ended the Great Depression more than the New Deal, but I am curious to see what the author says about the extent of the harm the New Deal did. Seems like a very timely subject...

A. When our government prepares to spend a $1,000,000,000,000 of our kids' and grandkids' money, I sure hope there are some "dicks" to ask some hard questions and maybe even vote their conscience. The Republican leadership in the House demonstrated nothing but admiration for Obama coming to meet with them prior to the vote even if he didn't convince them. B. I'm pretty sure a number of voters (including me) voted for Obama in the genuine belief that he would attempt to change the tone in Washington. Three weeks in, and I'm losing "hope".

2 movies so far this weekend w/ may Burn After Reading later tonight. Friday it was Hulk. Even Ed Norton couldn't save this movie. It was okay. I sure hope the don't combine Iron Man and Hulk for a sequel as the ending hinted. Then The Dark Night!! Great, great movie!! I haven't seen a Christopher Nolan movie that isn't great. Loved all the helicopter shots above the skyscrapers. Also, while I'm sure there was a lot of CGI, it usually didn't look like it. The explosions and special effects looked REAL. I've seen Heath Ledger and Robert Downey, Jr. I don't know which I'd vote for i

some DVD info, but mostly about Blu-Ray

Yeah, this will pretty much kick a$$. -
Just checking The fertility doctor who agreed to do this crossed, what seems to me, a clear ethical line. Some issues are debatable, but helping a woman of limited means have 8 children when she already has 6 seems clear. Thank God for reality TV, which I am sure will save the taxpayers from supporting this family.

Modern fertility treatments like IVF and Chlomid often increase the likelihood of multiples. My wife and I did IVF and had 2 fertilized eggs implanted. They both survived. Not sure if that's a problem in your eyes. We explored other options like adoption, but since my insurance covered fertility treatments, this was the most financially and logistically feasible option for us.

Mahalia could even make believers out of The Believer and Neon!

A decent movie. Good plot, some of the dialogue, especially in the 1st half, was incredibly poor. People just don't talk that way. Penelope Cruz was okay, but not Oscar-worthy IMHO. I'm pretty sure Woody's main motivation for making this movie was to film Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson kissing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nothing like pouring salt in a 39 year old wound! And I'm only 38! Best NFL experience I ever had was Viking/Chiefs at Arrowhead last year. That parking lot is like Woodstock! Chiefs fans are great!

I don't listen to it as often as I should. Every time I do, I forget how many great tunes it has.

Neil Young - On the Beach

I went there, it was good. Wasn't sure if it was still open. On Devils Tower v. Mt. Rushmore, I guess it depends upon your POV. I was pretty awestruck by both, but then we can debate lot of things... God's (or nature's for non-believers) work vs. Man's Carving up a mountain that's sacred to the Sioux (if what I'm told is true) to honor people who either directly or indirectly helped cause their near-extinction.
