None of that shit was on the radar when dems controlled government. There has been very little focus on jobs or the economy since the stimulus was passed.

With unemployment high and not coming down fast enough, it's hard to see how Obama will win against a decent opponent.

One of my favorite exchanges was when Michael Kinsley wrote a column warning about inflation a couple years ago, and Krugman said he was confusing two types of inflation and that it was a "textbook mistake".

Kinsley got all huffy and said something to the effect of "Well, this difference isn't explained in the textbook I have!" and Krugman was all "Yeah, well it's in the textbook that I wrote."

I swear PD is a stereotypical black man. It's always how much you make (re: Bebpo), who you're fucking (re: Cheebs), what's your status(re: Cheebs again). Jesus bring an educated and eloquent point of view across and I'll read it and consider it. I don't really care who you are.

And it's not even part of his joke persona. This is the shit he always brings in any argument. I guess the virgin shit must of stung as a retort to every argument he made so he decided to co-opt it. Hell if he'd actually argued why Cheebs is not a stereotypical liberal college student who naively believes a well-written editorial piece by somebody with platitudes I might of actually believed him.

Don't worry PD when you're making six figures and wifey a white chick everybody will listen to your opinions and agree with them.

I was simply pointing out that while Cheebs is not an expert, he is clearly a more reputable source of knowledge than you, given his educational credentials. I wasn't trying to embarrass you, and my intention wasn't to make you angry. But clearly I would put general trust in Cheebs before you. Unless I'm off base and you have a masters degree as well (which I doubt given your posting history)

No you do make me angry. This board while small is relatively honest about it's personal life and it's opinions but you always have this vindictive streak (some would say trolling) in you that nobody else on this board has. I ignored Bebpo because I was scared I was going to say something offensive again to him yet it was you before that repeatedly make it a point so clearly to pin him about his profession and salary and not getting what he wants out of a relationship. You did the same with drew regarding his profession even though you've lurked and know that he isn't a waiter but rather a cook and you choose to castigate him over a youtube video for no other reason to get a rise out of him. Has nobody asked themselves why you must be this half troll-half coherent poster character? It's obvious that you're insecure and unhappy about who you are and have this personal vindictive streak you have just seethes out of you so you can feel better about your own life. People simply just dismissed as part of your 'charm' but I noticed it.

Also if you've been in the professional sphere you'd know of the different forms of intelligence and that just because some one has a 'better' degree it does not make them a better professional or their opinions more valid. Also nice dig on the way out.

Quote

After finishing college, the two committed young Christians moved to Oklahoma, where Michele entered one of the most ridiculous learning institutions in the Western Hemisphere, a sort of highway rest area with legal accreditation called the O.W. Coburn School of Law; Michele was a member of its inaugural class in 1979.

Originally a division of Oral Roberts University, this august academy, dedicated to the teaching of "the law from a biblical worldview," has gone through no fewer than three names — including the Christian Broadcasting Network School of Law. Those familiar with the darker chapters in George W. Bush's presidency might recognize the school's current name, the Regent University School of Law. Yes, this was the tiny educational outhouse that, despite being the 136th-ranked law school in the country, where 60 percent of graduates flunked the bar, produced a flood of entrants into the Bush Justice Department.

I'm well aware of that since I linked the article and that was supposed to highlight the significance of Cheebs 'masters' of 'what' from 'where'?

And then the 'what' and the 'where' isn't really a good indication because of George W. Bush himself earned a MASTERS of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION at YALE. He managed the economy just fine.

The worrisome part of that profile, and of the whole evangelical Christian political movement in the US in general, is how a pretty substantial chunk of the country is dropping out of social institutions and building its own parallel ones. Religious colleges, the home school movement, books and documentaries that get treated like samizdat, novels, music, etc.

I'm always optimistic that America will pull through, or at least muddle along, despite all the anger and discord and crap in our politics, because at the end of the day everyone has to live with each other. I don't think hardcore Christians are going to go to the lengths that Scientologists or fringe Mormons do, but millions of people deliberately alienating themselves from the rest of the country is an unsettling idea.

You have conservatives that build these institutions because of people like Cheebs and his friend who think just because they have a degree it allows them to spew whatever bullshit they want. Look guys I know you're very proud of your degrees. Hell mine cost me nights out and pussy but hell sometimes a degree is just a piece of paper and nothing is going to save you from the real world except experience and quick learning.

I'm not a fan of people diminishing education but when it gives rise to 'stupid college kids' who are smarmy as fuck what do you expect?

During the Bush administration Krugman was sort of a beacon as one of the only outspoken liberals to regularly get space in a prime op-ed section, but he's been super-valuable the last few years explaining the economic situation, which has been right in his wheelhouse.

He's also been spot on about the deficit and its attendant inflation crisis which keeps not happening. It's a little depressing to see the people who were wrong in their predictions a few years ago lose none of their cachet, while half the people who follow politics closely will always write off Krugman no matter how many things he gets right.
