wtf? is this real?

It's called lobbying aka the american way. Is this really genuine outrage? Are you actually surprised? I'm amazed how people can be so glazed over and act omg by something that happens everyday FOREVER.

I love when guys post news stories on here, the papers around here are shit. They only post human interest crap. Instead of something like this they post a page article about some kid becoming an eagle scout.

Fine. Nothing a new fender and bumper skin won't fix.

Stop copying and pasting, and go post some more of those damn GIFs in the MMA thread (no really, I love them). How is YOUR car doing Mr. Anderson? lol.

Just thought I'd counter being a dick by being a dick. It's not my fault you can't handle a sarcastic little internet quip about posting news stories.

[Maluco]

do you care or does the timely placement of that comment do something for you?

[Jand3rson]

And I've posted HOW MANY of those compared to you? Yeah, that's what I thought.

By the way, how's your car?

You thought wrong.

"Although Obama has abandoned many of the "war on terror" policies of George Bush while he was president, he is not retreating from the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders."

I wish I could see the look on the faces of all the people who voted for Obama with the sole intention that he was going to end the war and pull us out in the blink of an eye.

Pot stirred.

You have to love these BS hidden agenda riders that get put in, only damaging and delaying a bill that people are waiting on and hoping will better things.

$335,000,000 FOR STD PREVENTION IN ECONOMIC STIMULUS BILL
Wed Jan 28 2009 09:58:30 ET

Democrats may have eliminated provisions on birth control and sod for the National Mall in the "job stimulus" -- but buried on page 147 of the bill is stimulation for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases!

The House Democrats' bill includes $335 million for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In the past, the CDC has used STD education funding for programs that many Members of Congress find objectionable and arguably unrelated to a mission of economic stimulus [such as funding events called 'Booty Call' and 'Great Sex' put on by an organization that received $698,000 in government funds.]

"Whether this funding has merit is not the question; the point is it has no business in an economic plan supposedly focused on job creation," says a stimulated Hill source.
