― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 21:44 (thirteen years ago)

He was a consultant on 'The Deer Hunter', too but they decided to go with guns as being more culturally authentic to the time.

And that hot chick that was in Chaki's bed that one time - actually in Ryan's bed, but he was running a three hour marathon over the Rockies bowhunting, like, the last of the mastodons.

This reminds me of 1996 when me and the homies knocked ourselves out with bizarre third-person isms associated with Bob Dole, like "bob dole can gore a bull in once try" said in bob dole's gruff voice

― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 21:59 (thirteen years ago)

Seriously we came up with like 50 and they were all great

Or maybe it was 40

― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 22:03 (thirteen years ago)

Right trying to redefine "trickle down." George Will today - "With Americans, on average, worth less and earning less than when he was inaugurated, Barack Obama is requesting a second term by promising, or perhaps threatening, that prosperity is just around the corner if he can practice four more years of trickle-down government." Reiterated by Chuck Grassley stumping with Ryan today.

― timellison, Wednesday, 5 September 2012 22:03 (thirteen years ago)

Paul Ryan met a girl while he was on vacation in Canada and totally made out with her. You wouldn't know her.

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 22:06 (thirteen years ago)

About 43,000 results (0.39 seconds) for "trickle down government"

Yep, not sure who coined it, but they've been at this "clever" attempt to flip the criticism of trickle-down economics for a while now. (xpost)

― Ermahgerd Thomas (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 5 September 2012 22:10 (thirteen years ago)

I hear Paul Ryan does car commercials...in Japan.

A second post says that encrypted copies of the tax documents will be sent to major media outlets, and demands the equivalent of $1 million in Bitcoins, a virtual currency, in exchange for a purge of “the keys to unlock the data.”

lol sure

― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 September 2012 13:41 (thirteen years ago)

i guess only romney + his accountants know if it's true

― Mordy, Thursday, 6 September 2012 13:47 (thirteen years ago)

the phrase "a million in bitcoins" is trying to work a horrible parody of "lust for life" into my head

― da croupier, Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:03 (thirteen years ago)

― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:31 (thirteen years ago)

i assumed that was deliberate, not that it makes any sense. i guess it couldn't have been. that's bizarre.

― a hauntingly unemployed american (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:34 (thirteen years ago)

p sure it's the same kind of muddled, incoherent "satire" as that kevin williamson cover story

― max, Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:37 (thirteen years ago)

― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:39 (thirteen years ago)

i wish jonah posted on ilx. i think he'd be a lot of fun to have around.

― Mordy, Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:40 (thirteen years ago)

that redstate thing scolds the democrats for "booing god and his holy city" but repeatedly fails to capitalize pronouns referring to god. redstate, you have become an extremist platform most americans don't even recognize.

xp ugh wrong thread. you know how it is.

― a hauntingly unemployed american (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 6 September 2012 14:41 (thirteen years ago)

It would be easier to take "booing God" as valid criticism if it weren't being offered by a party whose entire message is YOU AND NO ONE ELSE IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

In a show of respect to the Romney campaign, we should condense the number of revived politics threads.

― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 September 2012 16:05 (thirteen years ago)

Quick question unworthy of its own poll: Who's less culturally relevant at this point, Ann Coulter or Dennis Miller?

― 誤訳侮辱, Thursday, 6 September 2012 16:34 (thirteen years ago)

at least Ann Coulter gets invited to the networks.
