Cash for Clunkers didn't change loan underwiting or lax the potential credit risk of potential buyers. Yeah $4,500.00 is great, but people will still have to be qualified for loans in the $15-$20 thousand range. This is a program to get them in the door and isn't forcing lenders to get these people in the cars.

Not bad...she was on Jimmy Kimmel looking very nice. She might have an annoying laugh, though

Do you know that if you don't inject money into the economy you won't get anything out of it in the end? That's the basic principle of economics. We have to pay for a lot of things "without a return." People look at taxes as paying for nothing. Look, the government is, and always has been, like a business. Taxpayers are investors in the business. If a company like Google lost investment money, they would suffer. If the government lost tax money, it would suffer. As an tax payer (investor) you are investing in the well being of the whole country so that it can continue to be prosperous (or regain prosperity), and so you can continue to benefit from it. Now, just like any business, you aren't going to agree with everything upper management (or "upper government") does. But that's okay. You can always take your "investment" money elsewhere.

I'm watching Conan right now...Steve Schirripa from The Sopranos is hilarious

Yep, I remember seeing your stuff and your work but we never really knew each other until I came over in March of 04 I would include Jesse & BALF since they brought me over...we held it down over at LG (lakersground.net), but they haven't registered I don't think Then Smitty, Cryle, and HWP round out the early circle.

I don't see how over 180,000 in new car purchases, over a month, is a bad thing. Not to mention other countries that are, have, will be doing the same thing across the Atlantic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrappage_program

Good stuff dood

This is not a GIFs thread. Keep it on topic.

I see it everywhere. For those that are losing it, what is your resolution and browser?

I see the Bucks logo up there. Print screen?

That means at the time of your request you're receiving all the packets you sent. At different times you could lose packets, depending on the server or your local connection.

I'm watching Recess right now...you guys remember that show? My girl is still in love with it.

:o Vicious.

I figured this would be a good topic to have. Although I'm not watching it now, I bought and watched Passion of the Christ on Blu-Ray a couple of nights ago. Pretty bloody movie. So list what you're watching, planning to watch, just watched and let everyone know how it is

Huge! We need that dood to bring that defensive intensity and he's getting ready...NICE!

Never seen him that direct about anything...that's pretty surprising. I think the availability he has enjoyed is going to get stripped down a little bit.

I'm usually forced to watch it, but it's never dull and always good. I like it...pretty crazy what they put out sometimes.

I just want this to be over with. Figure it out, yay or nay...let's stop dragging this out so we know what other possible moves we will make.

BOSS! Good stuff dood

Wade McGrady (when he tries) LeBron Roy Kobe

Kobe Roy DRose Tony Pau Truthfully, after Kobe it's a pretty big drop for second favorite. Isiah - I wear his number Magic MJ Mark Jackson Hakeem As in a combination of the first two questions or players that are retired but are playing elsewhere? I guess it's the former, so Kobe, Roy, Isiah, Magic, MJ

I had a conversation with Korver up close. He's a scary looking dood. But Kaman looks like the abominable snowman.

"There's no video of it!" But seriously, this is mediatakeout we're talking about.

Who cares?

$5,000.00 Yeah Nike and LeBron helped it balloon into this mega controversy, it ends up being just something to keep us interested until training camp
