If this was a Republican mess, there would be 100 times the activity in this thread on this board......
All I hear is crickets. See no evil. Speak no evil. Hear no evil. Post no evil.
isn't that the truth. I recall debating, somewhat casually on my side, JMS who steadfastly posted that you could add 1) 30 million folks to an entitlement while 2) adding/enhancing to the robust quality of the service AND 3) ALSO make it cost less while doing so. He probably could have had a seat on the Obama team if he wanted to as he would have fit right in w/that logic.

So, the GOP screamed for this for a week, and then when they got it, they say its terrible.
Goalposts everyone.
This is why politics is dumb. This right here.
What IS entertaining is how badly all of the Dems look now (though I temper this very much with the fact that most ALL of D.C. seems devoid of actual leaders and we all pay for their lack of cojones). Still, it's great popcorn TV each night and will only get better as the rats continue to scramble.

Not a half bad article. Is Obama more secretive and dirtier than Nixon? Don't we deserve better?
The question is, how much dishonesty from a president is tolerable? How can a dishonest president lead a nation? The truth is, if the president were not immune from such things, the American people could file a class-action suit on grounds that they were sold a product under false pretenses. In the private sector, we call that fraud.
To sum up, the American people were duped; the administration did not misspeak, as the New York Times editorialized. The administration knowingly misled with a false promise and a deliberate omission. Worse, it did so for your own good because you might be confused by the truth. Call it what you will.

Good piece about Obama's whopper lie and an equally fitting picture at the top:

Nice try. Americans don't always pay attention to politics. Who can blame them? And, actually, that's what Obama has successfully counted on, that his live-streamed snippets of falsehoods blared by a largely complicit media would trump critics' negative natterings.
But the broken promises, false claims and tortured truths have reached a critical mass now. Bludgeoned by Benghazi, IRS revelations, FBI probes, NSA disclosures, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Syria's slips and now ObamaCare's sticker shock and outright whoppers, more Americans detect the odor of betrayal, however reluctantly. Gallup reported Tuesday that for the first time Obama's daily job approval sank below 40%.

The fake fainting lady in the Rose Garden speech might be Obama's best work yet. Just hilariously phony.

It's by no means a new show but Mad Men is intriguing (just started watching it a month ago). Solid acting and decent recreation of the 50s and 60s in all its glory as well as its shortcomings. Enjoyable also if you like the sales world since it focusses on that world as well.

They had a small segment today on ESPN about the Skins and it said we were the first team in the league to feature logos on a team's uniforms (it was the earliest version of the Indian head Icon). Just an FYI that I never knew before...

Sipping:
From Bell's Brewing, Inc.
Comstock, Michigan
I wonder, is the name a Hemingway reference?

If you want to see a truly terrifying documentary about North Korea and life under the Kim Jong iL regime, I suggest Kimjongilia. I have it TIVO'ed and I've been working my way through it. It's so damned sobering/depressing you'll be hard pressed to get thru it in one single viewing but it's still worth the effort because it lets you know just how cruelly the people of North Korea have been treated for such a long time (and how much some of them risked in getting out of the country).

Has anyone sampled Sierra Nevada's "Celebration" blend? Saw it in the beer aisle tonight and have never come across this seasonal before. What's the verdict?
-
Tried some of the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversay Imperial Helles Bock this past week. Solid Brew. I'm biased though because I dig almost every beer this company produces. Doing the State of California proud.
-
I don't know how much it cost you guys, but for $15.99 a six-pack, they can keep it. I'll wait until we hit Cali, in January, and try it then. It's probably cheap, and available in bombers, in California grocery stores
Wow, that's highway robbery. When you come out here go to Total Wine, they're starting to pop up on the West Coast. It's only $6.49 for the six pack of the stuff (although I'm noticing you can't find it everywhere). The price, I believe, is perhaps just a function of them not being a huge beer company (tho' some other beer experts could correct me on that comment).
-
So Sierra Nevada has a dark brown ale called "Tumbler" and wow, it's one fine blend. I'd go so far as to say it's just as tasty as their original Pale Ale. The perfect accompaniment to a fine steak. Check it out. I think it may just be a seasonal beer (but that's just a mktg scam anyhoo). Still worth the purchase.
-
Having another Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest tonight...the fresh hops are excellent in this. Wish I had a few of these during that heat wave. Had to get another one before it clears off the shelf.
Although it's not a classic "hot weather" brew, I just found Sierra Nevada's Porter. Wow! it's amazing. Perfect drink with a BBQ'd steak
-
went out to a local Irish Pub last night and they had Palm on tap. That is one damned smooth Belgian that I've only just recently discovered (yes, I must have lived a sheltered life up till now). If you haven't tried this brew please do, it's excellent.
-
I just discovered a Belgian ale by the name of "Palm" this weekend. It's excellent. From the label it's been produced since the late 1700's. The Belgians just know how to brew beer.
Also, I just found that Sierra Nevada makes a Porter. Who knew? It's smooth as can be.
On a related note I went in to a new wine store to the West Coast called "Total Wine" and discovered they have a "build your own" six pack of beer deal. I'm an instant fan. You can load up on some wondeful imports and discover some great tastes.
-
Oh man,so many great ones. In the winter it's an Old Rasputin from North Coast Brewing Co. and in the summer it's gotta be Steinlager.
Steinlager! That brings back some 1980's memories for me. Didn't they have the little ceramic cap on some of the bottles that you could re-affix? Good stuff.
-
That's my #1 choice.
It's good and cheap..at least it is here.
Here's something that sucks: it's very hard to find on the West Coast (in fact, I don't think I've EVER seen it in a liquor or grocery store). I'm sure some 'specialty' places might stock it but I only came across it because my g/f was born & raised in PA. I was on a biz trip late last year and ordered it every time I went out. It's terrific.
-
Has anyone tried this brew? I didn't know about it at all until my girlfriend last year turned me on to it. Really solid beer & apparently has quite a long history in the U.S.

so did any of the news outlets give much time to Obama quietly delaying the mandate until 2016 this past week? I don't recall seeing much about it but it seems like it should be a big deal because, well where is the funding going to come from now?
