Come to think of it, I think I see why we have huge deficits.

Depends on your perspective. For someone like me, who wants actual CUTS, yes, but for others, a 3-4% increase is modest and corresponds to the expected average increase in income. |

Um, what?

Do you mean an ordinary murderer who killed 3000 people?
Sure treat them the same.

The diet coke is symbolic of recognizing the problem, isn't it? As long as no one thinks its a complete solution.

On Sunday mornings, the CBS-owned affiliate in Dallas broadcasts " In Touch," which features bible lessons (presumably with 100% non-homo content). This is the first owned affiliate schedule I looked at. Should I look at others?

Don't they actually call it "lighting" down by you? |

Well, diet coke is strangely addictive. It gets to the point that you order it without even thinking about the "diet" part. That might have something to do with it.

The Diet Coke is more like a totem for those who desperately want to think that the problem has been recognized and that the diner is going to leave McDonald's and head down the street to get one of Jarrod's sandwiches at Subway. Meanwhile, he's finishing off another Big Mac, and thinking about his next McRib (chomp) and maybe a vanilla shake.

Do you not believe that penalties should be enhanced for crimes involving terrorism?

Wait a minute. I thought you were talking about the budget. I've sworn off Fringey bashing. I'm out of this thread.

no I think any person responsible for 3000 murders should receive the same punishment.

This only really works for the successful terrorists. You think the shoe bomber should be fined for smoking on an airplane?
