Talk about the game, the commercials or why you are not watching it
Not a big football fan so I'll skip it. Last few years I had to work, so it's nice to do nothing except goof off!ReplyCancel
I only watch HS and college football, so no go for me unless it's my beloved Saints.
I'm watching West Wing's debate episode (btw Jimmy Smits & Alan Alda as the Dem & Repub candidates respectively). I *seriously* wish this episode was how real debates went! They both did a fantastic job on that episode – it was filmed live and there are some slip-ups, which makes it seem even more real.
I need a Sunday dessert… anyone have suggestions? I'm thinking maybe brownies…ReplyCancel
Watching way south of the border where soccer is revered. Folks from England have already shat on a viewing. Major bar will have 4 screens. Yet another bar is showing and has food specials. I'm attending another party first. We'll see who heads down to the game with me when that is finished. Should be about second quarter at the latest. I will report back……..ReplyCancel
I'll watch Beyonce perform, that's about it.ReplyCancel
I'm not watching because my Cowboys aren't playing and because I drank too much last night and have a hangover from hell. I may tune in for some commercials, though.
I will silently root for the 49ers because I think they're cooler than the Ravens.ReplyCancel
No surprise that there aren't a lot of football fans among the CDAN regulars. However, here's a betting tip for you tyros stuck at Super Bowl parties who want to pick up some easy money: if Kaepernick drives the Niners for four first downs through the air on their first possession, offer to take the Niners plus 7. If he gets the Niners into the red zone on the first possession, take the Niners plus 10. Basically, if there's any sign that Kaepernick can pass on the Ravens, Niners will win by ten or more points. Current line is 3-4 points Niners.
Oh, and obviously, if you can find anyone willing to bet the Ravens even (i.e., no points), take their money!ReplyCancel
I have many interests, but football is not one of them. In fact, I can't stand it. Needless to say, I won't be watching it. The highlight of my day is the Puppy Bowl.ReplyCancel
Can't wait.
((SIDE EYE))ReplyCancel
Love football, but since the teams I normally follow ended up 31st and 32nd in the standings this year, I don't have a lot of interest. I'll be rooting for the Niners, though, because my cousin's wife's sister's kid plays for them, and because I can't stand Ray Lewis.
I've seen the Budweiser commercial with the Clydesdale colt, though, and cried every time I watched it.ReplyCancel
@ MadLyb – Me too re Homeland. I bitch about it, but I'm glued to the TV. When I was watching Season 1 on Netflix they had S2 available on streaming. When I was done with S1, S2 was no longer available on streaming so now I'm waiting for them to have S2 discs available. We have Dish network and they don't have On Demand. Argh!
(And don't get me started on Downton Abbey. I watched the season finale on Wednesday. I sort of knew what was coming but I want to punch writer Julian Fellowes in the throat anyway.)ReplyCancel
Matchbox 20? Really?ReplyCancel
Love this! I feel the same way. I'm def not a football or any kind of sports fan for that matter, but I really just watch for the commercials. Also being quiet about the 49ers, only cuz I'm from Cleveland, & a lot of my guy friends would be pissed if they knew. Haha.ReplyCancel
It's live on Australian tv but unfortunately that is Monday 10am here so I will be at work. I would consider watching a replay just to find out what the fuss is about. Also, why is it on a Sunday?! I guess lots of people will be calling in sick tomorrow…ReplyCancel
I am not watching simply because I don't care about football. I've had a few boyfriends try and get me involved in the sport but no matter how hard I try I like it, I just can't muster any enthusiasm whatsoever. Basketball, MMA, soccer ( go timbers! ) all can hold some interest but football? No thanks. Plus I have to work tonight so I can think of much better ways to spend my afternoon off!ReplyCancel
I'm so not skeeved at Kaepernick citing his faith when he's talking about his tattoos. He's not a Tebow. Just a humble kid.
Mind you, I totally hope he blows his knee out on the last play after he's buried the Ravens, because my Seahawks have to play against him twice a season.ReplyCancel
Oh god, Namath looks like an old queen!ReplyCancel
I'm watching but I'll be letting the dog out and taking the garbage out during half time!
As a Steeler fan, I just cannot root for the Ravens. So let's go Niners!ReplyCancel
I ended up making an espresso brownie bites recipe… the batter was yummy, but the brownies didn't set up right. Grrr.
@misspeg86, Sunday is a no work day for most people in the US (that is, most traditional/office/corp jobs). The general idea is that HS games are Friday nights (homecoming games are played on Friday so the dance is held on Saturday), college games on Saturdays (so the students can party Sat evening & have Sunday to recover from hangovers & ready for school on Monday), pro games played on Sundays prior to the big Monday night football games.
This link gives some idea of how it works.
(Oh, and every year, there is a bunch of discussion about moving SP to Saturday. Those against cry tradition, those for cry convenience. NFL change is PITA.)ReplyCancel
Well smash, if you worked catering on Lake Washington I've bet you've got even better stories about Husky game days.
Sonny Sixkiller rules!
(BTW, who the hell would ever make onion dip with lite sour cream? If you're gonna shovel horribly unhealthy gobs of milk fat into your mouth, is the little extra fat gonna make that much difference?)ReplyCancel
Yay, Chris Collinsworth! Sadly, Ray Lewis probably will make it into the Hall.ReplyCancel
im not watching. I couldnt really care less. Im not really into sports. If i do however watch sports its things like UFC and fifa… i dont even really care about olympics since it promotes barriers.
Id rather watch a good action movie tbh while i crochetReplyCancel
Niners running some very sophisticated formations at the start, but makes no difference.ReplyCancel
What do you mean by "middle passes," smash? Crossing patterns?ReplyCancel
Going to a Super Bowl party to hang out with my friends and have some adult beverages! I could not care less about the game itself, though I have decided to root for the Ravens, because ravens are cool, mystical birds with supernatural portent. Also, I believe these are the Baltimore Ravens and one of my favorite TV series of all time is The Wire 😛ReplyCancel
5 wideouts? And it worked. Some very sophisticated offensive coaching on both sides so far.ReplyCancel
I tried to post here , but blogger ate it. We will be watching after my husband gets home from work. Until then, I am watching my daughter play Arkham Asylum and I am making some finger foods. I also have steaks marinating in the fridge.
If I get some gumption in the next few minutes, those brownies mentioned up above sound like a great idea.ReplyCancel
Ok I'm now watching because husband has put the game on and hid the remote.
Anyone want to gossip about anything other than the game? 90210 or any 90s gossip perhaps? Whatever is your fancy.ReplyCancel
Budweiser trying to launch yet another new brew? They are so desperate. The microbrew movement has been destroyingAnnheiser-Busch!ReplyCancel
I do not subscribe to cable so I am watching the game online courtesy of CBSSports until the Sunday night shows get posted. "Mrs. Brown's Boys" should be posted soon by our friends across the pond.ReplyCancel
Ugh I thought Alicia was horrible and off pitch. Jennifer was great.ReplyCancel
Do you think the kid playing "Walter" did that ad for free?ReplyCancel
Kaepernick looks uneasy in the pocket–oop, but there's an example of why you run crossing patterns!ReplyCancel
Niners are running a lot of draws. Unusual this early in a game.ReplyCancel
Kaep checks off again–but it works!ReplyCancel
A draw is when you fake a run and then hand it off to one of your backs.
Checking off again!ReplyCancel
"Call the Midwife" has been posted so no more game for me. I may keep the window open to peruse the commercials.ReplyCancel
So the sack shuts down the Niners drive, but Kaep's legs clearly have the Ravens 'backers worried.ReplyCancel
I don't watch because I couldn't care less about sports.ReplyCancel
(My cousin and some buddies got sucked into a taste test for a new Annheiser-Busch brew a few years ago. They said it was terrible. Apparently Michelob has lost so much market share they're gonna take it off the market.)ReplyCancel
My "Budweiser" when I'm in the Bay Area is Gordon Biersch Maerzen. I'm drinking out of a G-B bock assortment 12 today.ReplyCancel
"Checking off" is when the QB changes the play at the line of scrimmage. When Kaep was stepping up and yelling at the linemen and wideouts, he was changing the play.
Flacco is getting very lucky…ReplyCancel
Seems like you already made your dessert, but for future reference and anyone else reading – my fast and easy "go to"…
Take any kind of chocolate you have in the house (chips, bars) and melt in a large microwave safe bowl for two minutes. If you have or like peanut butter you can stir in a few scoops of that. Gently stir in some kind of savory cereal (chex, mini wheats, kix, or even mini pretzels.or mini crackers)
Put in a plastic zip lock bag (or just cerfully in the bowl) toss and cover in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar will.dry and coat them into individual little bites!
Always a hit.
Dragon! I hope you didn't miss it!ReplyCancel
Does Vin Diesel do anything but F&F movies anymore?ReplyCancel
Well, I'm not watching it first because I'm in Brazil and second because I don't care about football… or soccer…ReplyCancel
I get it now, those calls Kaep is making in the shotgun are not check offs, although he did make one check off in this drive Yeah, they're option calls.
That Calvin Klein commercial was spectacular.ReplyCancel
I'm in Ireland. 2nd qtr has just started. It is 12.15 am .
I have beer, nacho's and salsa so I'm all set. I love the Super Bowl, even if I don't really understand everything that's going on. (I am a soccer girl, although over here THAT is football).
Hope you all are enjoying the game.
I like the conceit of the Calvin Klein ad: 99% of the guys watching the game don't have the body to wear that underwear.ReplyCancel
U, where do you get nacho chips in Ireland? Crisps, sure, but tortilla chips?ReplyCancel
I'm old enough that I remember when Bud Adams was PDX mayor….ReplyCancel
Dammit, not Ribisi! He's a clam.ReplyCancel
How about spending less on milk advocacy ads and less on dairy subsidies!ReplyCancel
Kaep checked off again and then threw a pick. Boy is rattled.ReplyCancel
I sure hope no one took my betting advice….ReplyCancel
Clever! The Harbaugh boys are going at each other hammer and tongs.ReplyCancel
More of a basketball fan, here. But Wifey is a huge Niners fan (originally from the bay area), so I root for them and she's happy.
They're the ones with the gold helmets, right? Kidding.ReplyCancel
Kaep checked off twice on that play! Something is really screwed with the Niners play calling.ReplyCancel
D* it, smash, I already did a Meredith! You should've spoken sooner!!
@V – I should've clarified that it was a cease & desist letter that they sent before they knew that SA PDX was an actual mayoral candidate. They settled with an "it's OK for the campaign" statement. I freelance for local rags and was assigned research on the story back then for one of them. Unbelievably boring, despite the headlines – wading through 18 pages of lawyer-speak just to pull the quote that basically said it's all good.
Article a couple of days ago where a bunch of people bent about the VW commercial, saying it makes Jamaicans (implied "black people") look like they're happy all the time – the Jamaican tourism board responded with… WE ARE, come find out! LOLReplyCancel
the pretzel version is awesome. I started with just plain chocolate and chex long ago, but just keep experimenting with different ingredients all the time. Different kind of nut butter's are awesome as well.
It wasoffensive pass interference!ReplyCancel
@B Profane you can get tortilla chips anywhere. Hotter the better!!!ReplyCancel
It's over….ReplyCancel
totally cosigning.
Kaep is no Montana when it comes to comebacks…but, man, that kid has a gun!ReplyCancel
Ahhhh, clam ad! Was that a local or national ad?ReplyCancel
How weird, the clams buying a Super Bowl ad, if only a local (Bay Area) one.ReplyCancel
Funny. That play was a big fail.ReplyCancel
The aspect ratio must be off on my TV. All the halftime promos make Beyonce look fat.ReplyCancel
The former graduate lighting design student in me is agog at the cost of all that lighting!ReplyCancel
I love the fact Beyonce has turned down the mic on the other destiny's child girls and is throwing them shade even tho this is actually making her show all 3 of them together… hahaha
( im a bit of a lurker..Hi 🙂 )
that is the worst halftime show everReplyCancel
Sorry, whenever she does "Single Ladies" all I can think of is the SNL spoof of that song.ReplyCancel
i'd be more impressed if she gave birth on stage to Pillow BabyReplyCancel
Beyonce was MEH….
but it IS definitely hard to song and dance.ReplyCancel
As an Eagles fan, I have to say, "Go Eagles," and "Eagles Suck!"
And, I liked the Audi commercial the best of the first half, although I watch commercials with the sound off.ReplyCancel
Kat Dennings' cleavage…oh my.ReplyCancel
Not watching. I am disgusted with the part of American culture that thinks men who run and throw balls are worthy of respect and millions of dollars a year, but public school teachers can't get a respectable salary and professional consideration despite teaching millions of American children every day (and as a Kindergarten teacher, I promise I run and catch a lot of things every day…. with no pads)ReplyCancel
OMG that was it… i'd rather rewatch the hot mess that was madonna last year, that was more entertaining… hehehe
I can't believe all that hype over that crap show.. its 1.30am in the UK not that i stayed up for this ( feeding my little one) but if i did i would be disappointed.
Best bit Destiny's child. thats it.
Beyonce "preformed" better while "pregnant" at Glastonbury and we all know she lip synced then 😉 used to love her now i kinda feel sorry for herReplyCancel
Double oops….ReplyCancel
Ok, I am no Beyonce fan at all. But bitch can sing, she looked fabulous, and she can dance. Ugh, I can't believe I stuck up for that fake trick. Blerg.ReplyCancel
Beyonce was better than The Who, but that ain't saying much.ReplyCancel
Desperate Niner fan trips the lighting breakers at the Superdome….ReplyCancel
i blame the Kelly and Michelle for power outage – you know what you did girls – you outshone Beyowolf and she THREW you into the electrical panelReplyCancel
Ever go to one of Bud's balls?ReplyCancel
Think of how much extra money CBS is gonna make in ad revenue from the delay.ReplyCancel
I was pretty impressed with the halftime show, not with this power outage though, wtf NOLA?
BUT I did see Beyonce in person! Welll kind of. We saw her through the one window with no drapes closed in the house she was staying in. This was after we drove by several times trying to catch a glimpse, no sighting of Blue Ivy though 🙁ReplyCancel
BEYONCE WAS AMAZING!!!ReplyCancel
and anyone who says any different was not watching the same show!!!! lolReplyCancel
The CBS color guys are already blaming Beyonce for the power failure.ReplyCancel
Hee, now they're saying it was due to a failure of an "outside power feed." And I'm just imaging that desperate Niner fan skulking away with a giant pair of wire cutters.ReplyCancel
Beyonce was good. Not the best halftime but whatevs. I enjoyed the Destiny's Child reunion and whoever believed Michelle before when she LIED that there would be no reunion, you got Rick Rolled!
Please fix the lights already, this is getting ridiculous.ReplyCancel
I didn't really have time to watch today. I taped it though so I can watch the parts I want to. My self-and-family-imposed holidays are pretty much over, so I have to get back to work …. I'm really looking forward to the Puppy and Kitten parts.ReplyCancel
Ahh, it worked!ReplyCancel
Laura, blurry! I was a little surprised that there weren't a bunch of other cars doing the same thing, but the house is in Old Metairie and I think a lot of people assumed she was staying downtown. Our friends we stayed with lived a few houses down on Iona so we didn't look toooo stalkerish with all the drive by's.ReplyCancel
Best part of half time was Destiny's Child. Too bad their mics were turned down. Bey's ass shaking and hair flipping got old fast. What a slutfest. Wanted more singing and less pole dancing lap dancing moves.ReplyCancel
My favorite commercials have been the Taco Bell, Jeep and the VW commercials have been my favorites so far.
That T shirt commercial with the guy doing the walk of shame was pretty funny too.ReplyCancel
Thank You. Preach.ReplyCancel
Poor Laura! Don't cry! Whenever I am sick and cry I get a massive headache.
Whenever one of us go out of town we hide from the dogs in the yard. When they find us it is the most beautiful display of joy and happiness. That's what it reminded me of. Then I cried again!ReplyCancel

Okay, so inside scoop gossip coming up…
@B. Profane said:
I like the conceit of the Calvin Klein ad: 99% of the guys watching the game don't have the body to wear that underwear.
B. Profane! I'm interested in a later post or context to talk about your info on Los Angeles/North Korea etc. (wondering if there are good websites whatever to check – seriously wondering if I should spend more time in my house 60 miles outside of L.A. instead of my one in the TMZ).
So, in general "Hi" to everyone, I've been reading/lurking a long time – but only just started posting. I've been in "The Business" in multiple capacities my entire life (since a kid). I've been "above the line" and "below the line" on several levels. I'll probably share more as time goes on…
But as an ex-male model (not that exciting or glamorous); but also more recently behind camera on lots of photography shoots…
CK totally "enhances" 95% of their male models if you catch my drift. Totally not really what it is really.
I think the idea to them is that they are just selling "sex" – so I'm not sure if their market is to women? Or gay men? Or guys who think that underwear will make them look better? None of those guys are packing as much as CK makes them appear to be.
Just for a correlation/inside scoop – if it's underwear that is sold at J.C. Penny's, or Sears, or something that is supposed to just be "normal guy" underwear – they actually choose models who don't have a lot to show down there. They want "small" – because they don't want to "offend" (in their words) Middle America. So they choose those guys, or make them "tuck it" slightly, to not be overtly sexual in any way. So they have a completely opposite viewpoint on their pictures and advertisements.
I know – TMI perhaps – but that's how it works on sets.
Ahh thanks guys, I'm in this for the commercials so I have no clue about any sports lingo, other than the obvious touchdown, first down, timeout, etc.
Hey there Xander, how disappointing about the enhacement! But I guess we can't have our cake and eat it too :/ I look forward to your insider stories, as I do with all our in the know readers. It's nice hearing actual experiences instead of relying solely on the blinds for for info.ReplyCancel
Thanks. I will check that out. Mostly interested in what B. Profane was talking about earlier this week – so hopefully some of that info will be on there.
Awww the Clydesdale commercial touched my heart. Best commercial ever.ReplyCancel
Sorry I am trying to read and post on my kindle now which takes forever.
it is definitely on purpose.
catalog models they do not want people to focus or be offended on too.much sexuality. Small is a bonus for those models to get booked.
Ck and more fashion underwear they choose the.model for body fist, face second, then enhance.the package for selling the subconscious sec of it all.
Cant update typo here it is supposed to.read body first
Thanks Lola!!!! Very interesting. We always talk about amazon and I agree they have a very niche market. Apple is used widely throughout the world. Everyone wishes they could have an apple product, I would love a new Mac book, even though I have a kick ass PC having a Mac is so much easier with my iPhone syncing. My bf thinks apples stock is high priced and that is what scares people into selling, it will always climb back. He thinks they need to do a stock split and lower the price. I think even if you did that it would climb again about the 200 mark. Sorry for my very off topic rant.ReplyCancel
I think conventional wisdom is that there is no reason that a stock split should generally heighten overall stock value since even if a lower share price brings in more small investors and makes the price bump up substantially, it is likely to be offset by a selloff by a large investor. Apple might be an exception in that regard since Apple buyers often have an emotional investment in the company that they don't have with other companies.
But that is my total armchair quarterbacking analysis since my investment knowledge is purely amateur.ReplyCancel
Welcome! Thank you for the interesting insider info. I look forward to hearing more 🙂ReplyCancel
Jsierra,Sunny, et al. Just got home from.Blanc Debris and traffic was excellent! The Opster just made a beer run and commented on how the game must now be over because there was no traffic when he walked across the street and now there is gridlock. I sumise from the last score we heard that the Ravens won? Sad day (eve) here in the bay area. I know there are a lot of posters here from my hood so to speak. Sorry kids.
Oh jeez, mow the sirens start. WTH. That happens when you live in the city. Miss the quier of the country already.ReplyCancel
Sorry everyone…
Cannot respond to anything now – oi!
I have a 2.5 year old and a beautiful wife who is 11.5 weeks pregnant who both woke up at the same time tonight so swamped taking care of both for the rest of the night.ReplyCancel

Many thanks to all of you who've commented on the SB — It's expanded my 2013 SB experience in a great way!
Also, on a more dire note, any expansion on BP's comments re NK and its policies would be greatly appreciated.
And now it's time to move on to celebrating the impending Mardi Gras [and the following Ash Wednesday 🙁 ].
Let the good times roll while they can!!!ReplyCancel
That was nice of you to put me in your list. I enjoy your posts too.ReplyCancel
I had food poisoning yesterday, oh and no cable, we just watch netflix.ReplyCancel
Those wishing to read deeper about the capabilities and threat potential of the North Korean nuclear weapons program should peruse Carey Sublette's once-definitive website (he's no longer updating it) www.nuclearweaponarchive.org and search for Carey's postings in the USENET group alt.war.nuclear.
(No, I'm not Carey.)
For recent analysis you kind of have to read around to less obvious sources. Read anything that Bruce Blair publishes or posts.ReplyCancel
(BTW, it is wise of you folks in L.A. to be aware of the threat, but for the rest of us…hate to tell ya', but if the Norks popped a nuke over downtown L.A. it really wouldn't hurt the US all that much. Wipe out Hollywood, sure, but with some breaks on the fallout plume…sure, we'd get our hair mussed, but not fatally.)
(And if they dropped one on Microsoft's Redmond campus, well, that would be painful and possibly fatal for me, but they'd be doing the world a favor.)ReplyCancel
Thanks dude. I will seriously look into this. Wondering if I should think about moving my family. Out of the TMZ at least.ReplyCancel
Relax, Xander. The intelligence available through open sources indicates that the NK nuclear program is strictly a device for regime protection. Remember, NK senior leadership and SK senior leadership have been talking for years…it seems to be pretty well understood among the relevant players that their nukes are understandably intended as a tool for abeyance. All those silly-hat generals don't want to end up dying in cells like Milosevic for the wholesale slaughter they inflicted upon their own population, so they keep hoarding and furthering their nuclear program as insurance.
(Now, why SK political leadership has become relatively sanguine about the NK nuclear program…ah, there it gets a little interesting. But don't worry, that detente isn't aimed at us.)
Norks have no prompt-launch capability that could reach any part of United States territory. They couldn't hit us with a baseball. Neither does Iran, but the proliferation potential of their program….ReplyCancel
Just a quick cameo to comment on the nuclear discussion going on.
1. Everyone should be a lot more concerned about Ahmadinejad(Iran)and his/their nuclear program than N. Korea for a few reasons. The most pressing being the mental instability of Ahmadinejad.
2. Attacking a country that has nukes with nukes is such a fucking bad idea because it turns into a retalitory situation that ends with the distruction of our civilization. Not that that is some big revelation, but when you are mentally unstable and don't give a shit, it's definately concerning.
3. If a nuke is sent to the USA from another country, it doesn't matter where it hits because its devastation knows no borders. Honestly, I'd rather be in the city it hits than a 1000 miles away because, from what I hear, radiation poisoning is a hell of a way to go.
Thanks B.
When I was single I never worried.
Now that I have a 2 year old, my mind goes places it's never been…
You know, being responsible for another human being and all that.
But I will chill. Thanks again for all of your info.
I used to hang with Jim when played for the Bears. Very simple, yet complicated guy. Sure wish he would have won.ReplyCancel

Posted on 07/16/2012 2:24:56 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing
In a dramatic change, Republican governors including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are supporting sales taxes on online purchases in an attempt to send more revenue to state coffers.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.wsj.com ...
And here it is. Watch. Days from now, weeks from now, months from now, years from now, some leftist, some Obamunist wannabe, whoever the next Harry Reid is, the current Harry Reid, whoever.....
Is gonna go to the podium and say "we need internet taxes across the board, and this is a bipartisan issue. both democrats, and republicans have called for internet taxes, so it must be done."
Or however it will end up being worded.
This is GOP-E Enabling of leftist causes. Chris Christie, you are the progressive enabler of the day.
We need to continually primary these big government republicans out of existence. We cannot afford this anymore! Republicans are screwing this country as fast as the democrats are, and we conservatives stand alone.
Christie is a major disappointment. But then again, so is the Republican Parry in general.
The only thing that can potentially be said in defense of this is how it's being done willingly on the part of Amazon.
That's simply not good enough.
We know what progressives do. We know the types of things they will say. We know how this will be used in the future.
I hope Christie is a one termer, and never comes back into our lives again.(in a political sense)
Why is anyone surprised at this?
Christie is Big Government LIBERAL!
A Northeastern RINO. Like the Bushies and Mittens.
Mail-order catalog sales never had to pay sales tax,
because of the added cost of shipping and handling.
How are internet sales any different?
(Government needs to spend less, not kill a new industry.)
Savage is right, the only difference between the democrats and the GOP is purely cosmetic.
My governor (Rick Snyder , Michigan) is also a supporter.
What do you want? A heart attack(D) or cancer(R)??
It's all the same to me. I know I'm going to die, sooner or later.Choose your poison.
This is another reason I don't like Christie.
What is so darn wrong with choking off spending? Why is it that politicians have to tax everything that moves and half of what's dead?
Flip it around and cut back your state taxes. See how many companies relocate and provide new jobs.... jobs for people that pay taxes. Be competitive not punitive.
I'm not surprised. I'm furious.
I'm furious at the merits of the argument at hand, but also because of the enablement aspect.
We have got to change the GOP into a party of bold colors, and get rid of these pale pastels.
As it stands right now, outside of the new 2010 tea party candidates America does not have two parties(and a handful of others doing great work, such as Demint)
Republicans are more than happy to compromise with progressives, but they very rarely compromise with conservatives.
Christie has done some good things but his problem, he is still a RINO country club executive/establishment type who is out of touch. One good thing from Christie was he pretty well eliminate state safety inspections for cars.
I have an honest question.... Let's say I open a business, take on overhead, employees, etc. Then some guy in another state does the same, but undercuts me on price through the internet. Wouldn't I want a sales tax to protect my business? Create an even playing field?
Good thing Christie's last name starts with a "C" instead of a "K".... !
The majority of gov't spending is a just money-laundering schemes for leftist politicians. Eliminate the programs, eliminate the spending, eliminate the left.
-—————Wouldnt I want a sales tax to protect my business?——————
You would want to work to lower the taxes in your own state. That way your state has as low of tax burden as his state does.
And!!!!! And, you would want to sell your own stuff online as well. Now you have an even playing field.
The answer is *NOT* to punish the other guy. Because in the process of punishing the other guy, you punish us all.
That's what progressives do.
Not much to say except: Fat ass blow hard.
I live in TN. We have a use law as most states do. If I buy something online I'm technically required to fill out a form and mail the sales tax to the state.
The state has no way of tracking individual purchases but they will audit businesses.
Where I work we pay thousands in use tax each month on out of state purchases.
I would agree that your answer is the only logical answer. Instead of Businesses wining, compete on the internet.
So the entrepreneur that finds a better (cheaper) way of doing the same business as you, should be penalized with a tax added to his customer's bill?
Yes, YOU would want that, but your CONSUMER would not want YOUR idea of a "level" playing field.
Instead of taxing your opponent, the free market should decide. How is he able to under cut you? Is it that his product is lesser quality? Is he trying to sell at a loss? Or, does he have a better business model than you?
If your product/business is better, than you will develop a reputation as having a better product. This forces your competition to either go out of business, or strive to develop a better business/product. If your competition improves, or your competition was better to begin with, then it forces you to make a better business/product.
This is how innovation comes about. The consumer gets the best products at the best price. The businessman runs his business in order to gain the most consumers for the most profit.
When government gets involved....it becomes SNAFU. When you open the door and welcome taxes, be sure more than you expect will follow. Along with taxes comes regulation. Of course, don't expect your competition to sit idly by and watch you destroy him.......he is going to lobby to raise taxes and regulation against YOU.
Under this leftist model (think GM and GE) the object isn't product innovation, but government/regulatory innovation. The consumer gets inferior products at a ridiculous price; not to mention, the "law of unintended consequences" that screws over businesses/products that aren't even related to yours.
That's exactly right. It gets even more bizarre when you have online sales items shipped through facilities in states where no tax is applied to most online purchases. In New Jersey, for example, products shipped to customers through the new Amazon distribution center will eventually be subject to New Jersey sales tax ... but they will probably not be subject to any sales tax if they are shipped across the state line to Pennsylvania. This makes no sense at all.
In my opinion, the smoking ban in Michigan bars should be nullified. Number 1 its not constitutional. Number 2 is the fact that the casinos lobbied for it, yet got an exemption from the law themselves.
Its a classic case of business using government to harm the competition. In this case the competition was the smallest businessmen of them all.
That's a valid point, but it may only be "better (cheaper)" because of a provision in the state tax code. That's hardly a ringing endorsement for a "better/cheaper" way of business.
All- good answers to my honest question. The same logic would apply to free trade and I support free trade.
But with online purchases, the state does nothing - this is just a naked grab for more of our money.
And Ann Coulter swoons....
I recall around 2006 that North Carolina cooperated with TN tax authorities to get the names/addresses of those who bought furniture at the factories there. The TN residents were just a little surprised when they received a tax bill.
For the state the purchaser resides in, it still provides services in the state where the business resides, but it doesn't get the benefit, unless it gets the sales taxes from the business....but how is that business going to get those taxes from the purchaser, as would be the case in a brick-and-mortar purchase.
However, the other side of the coin is that since having out-of-state consumers is an advantage to online businesses that the brick-and-mortar businesses don't have...the online business should be happy to pay the sales taxes without having to get them from the out-of-state purchasers, it's just a cost of doing business around the country/globe.
Amazon is complicit in this, and it is a pretty lousy anti-competitive thing for them to be doing. They will be able to handle it as a multi billion dollar company, but it buts an onerous regulatory burden on all the mom and pop and small retailers who will be subjected to collecting sales tax for the 49 states they don't live in. Big business in cahoots with big government is a recipe for disaster.
Except that, in the example, the out-of-state guy is not undercutting the in-state guy on price, quality, or service. The only advantage the out-of-state guy has is that he does not need to charge sales tax, but the in-state guy does. Assuming that both the out-of-state guy and the in-state guy charge the same amount for the same item, that means that the out-of-state guy's products automatically cost the consumer ~3-8% less (depending on the state), purely because of differing tax rules. That is NOT a "free market" situation, that is a disparity CREATED BY the government.
Also, it's worth noting that in nearly every state, internet purchases (and mail order purchases, etc) ARE taxed. Merchants are not required to collect the taxes, but people are supposed to report such purchases (although, of course, many don't). In some ways, these proposals are really tax collection measures rather than new taxes.
I remember that. Also, last year or two years ago TN increased tobacco taxes and actually put police on the border with KY to "catch" crossers buying cheaper cigarettes.
They get healthcare, of course. hehe
(end sarcasm) I agree. Your observation is excellent.
From the WSJ:
Seizing on the recent political shift, Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican, and co-sponsors from both parties are attempting to speed up action on a bill they wrote to give states authority to compel online companies to collect sales taxes.
Under the current taxation rules, your opponent doesn't need to do anything to undercut you. If he sells the same quality product, at the same price, his product will cost the consumer ~3-8% less than yours, simply because he is out of state and you are not.
When government gets involved....it becomes SNAFU. When you open the door and welcome taxes, be sure more than you expect will follow. Along with taxes comes regulation. Of course, don't expect your competition to sit idly by and watch you destroy him.......he is going to lobby to raise taxes and regulation against YOU.
You're right. Excelt that government is ALREADY involved. The taxation rules already set by the government give out of state merchants an advantage. Taxing internet purchases may not be a free market solution, but leaving the current system in place may not be a free market solution either.
Agreed and true, but when it comes to spending and thus the necessity of new and more revenue politicians can see their way around reality.
I wonder if Romney's aware enough to remove Christie from consideration as VP because of this statement.
I'm more in favor of getting rid of income tax vice getting rid of sales tax.
However, to answer how this is the "free market at work" --
In states that are more "free" say comparing South Carolina, to California....businesses are free to move to states such as South Carolina where products are not priced higher via tax in order to pay for entitlement programs and "high-speed" rail to nowhere. This is the free market. It would also aid in forcing stupid states to stop spending money unwisely so they would be enticed to lower taxes in order to compete with lower taxed states.....This is the free market.
California is free to tax products sold in their state however it wants. South Carolina is free to tax products in their state however it wants. However, trying to tax out of state purchases is akin to tariffs between the states and would be "interstate commerce" in its truest sense (vice the garbage infringement Kongress attempts to call it) and should be regulated as such....ie, there should be no taxes at the state level for items sold across state lines.
South Carolinians purchasing items from California via the internet should not pay either SC or CA sales tax. Neither should Californians purchasing items via the internet pay either CA or SC sales tax. This would be equal application under the law and your "free market at work."
Now, if you really wanted to be "fair" and have a "free market"......we would end taxes on productivity (income taxes both state and fed) and implement a Fair Tax on consumption (state and fed sales tax) that were applied evenly to all end user goods and services (yes; food and clothes too - this prevents lobbyists from determining their product is "essential" but not others).
Taking one unfair policy or tax and implementing another to counter it is not fair, the free market, nor a conservative principle. I didn't vote for New Jersey's stupidity because I don't live there..........don't make me pay their damn taxes.
see 45
We get a step closer. I give it 5 years.
And to further complicate matters, not all sales taxes are created equal. Here in Michigan we have a 6% sales tax and some states have no sales tax.
No one is asking you to pay New Jersey's taxes. An internet tax would apply the sales tax of the state in which the purchaser sits. If you're in SC, and you buy over the internet, you pay no tax, just as you would pay no tax if you walked down the street to purchase the same good. So, in competing for your business, the out-of-state internet company gains no artificial benefit.
Likewise, if you're in NY, and you buy something over the internet, you would pay NY tax, just as you would if you walked down the street to buy the same thing. Again, in competing for your business, the out-of-state internet company would gain no artificial benefit (as they do currently).

SEBO AIRBELT C2 Canister Vacuum
The SEBO AIRBELT C2 is a straight-suction vacuum that comes with 5 accessory tools to help assist in all kinds of jobs around the house. The two specialized attachments are the Turbo Brush and Premium Parquet Nozzle. The Turbo Brush is designed specifically for carpets, rugs, and soft upholstery. The Premium Parquet Nozzle works perfectly on hardwood, tiles, linoleum, and other hard floors. Stored on-board, the dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery nozzle are easily accessible and work well for cleaning staircases, dusty nooks, and car interiors.
The AIRBELT C2 also features ergonomically designed and positioned handles to reduce wrist and arm fatigue during long periods of usage. An additional built-in shock-absorber acts as a bumper guard to protect furniture, walls, and the vacuum during transportation.
All SEBO vacuums are manufactured with the highest standards and are backed by a manufacturer's 5 Year Parts, Motor, and Labor Warranty in addition to AlerG's own 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Each model is engineered and manufactured in Germany and uses SEBO's extremely convenient changing bags that can be upgraded to S-Class filters for allergy sufferers. The AIRBELT C2 is a great vacuum for removing pet hair and dander from any household.
3-Step Filtration Technology:
- Heavy-Duty, Easy-Load Bags: Bagless vacuums might seem more cost-effective and convenient, but every allergy sufferer knows that for premium results vacuums require heavy-filtration bags. SEBO offers top-fill, three and four-layer bags that capture virtually all dirt and prevent the dirt from recycling into your air. A vacuum should assist in conquering allergies and not spread them around the house.
- S-Class Microfilters & HEPA Microfilters (optional): Schwebstoff Filters are made of electrostatically charged microfibers, which attract and capture dust particles that might otherwise be left uncaptured by bagless vacuums. 99.9% of particles 0.3 microns in diameter. SEBO also offers HEPA Microfilters that capture a minimum of 99.97% of airborne matter as small as 0.3 microns in diameter.Each HEPA filter come with an additional four-layer Ultra-Bag that provides high-efficiency pre-filtration to extend the life of the HEPA filter and maximize airflow.
- Exhaust Filter: Air exiting the vacuum motor is filtered for added protection against releasing dust.
Rubber Coated Wheels:
Durable and soft-impact wheels ensure protection for hard floors from scratches while the SEBO AIRBELT C2 is being carted around the house.
Large Filter Bag:
A large filter bag means long-lasting filter bags and increased air flow for motor protection. The filter bag is also easy to access, seal, and throw away.
Three On-Board Full-Size Tools:
Included for all C2 systems and stored on-board, the crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery nozzle help the AIRBELT C2 adjust to any cleaning situation.
Quick-Release Attachments:
All attachments feature quick-release switches to make attachment switching quick and easy.
36-Foot Operating Range:
Minimize the number of outlet switches by taking advantage of the AIRBELT C2's 36-foot operating range. The C2 also features a cord retractor for easy cord management.

Skip to comments.Could this be Obama's Kenyan birthcertificate? (someone is smoking catnip)
Posted on 07/28/2009 9:23:04 AM PDT by DoctorJimbo27
I wasn't sure if i wanted to post this, but here goes. I've been holding onto this for a bit now, cause if it's real I don't know if I could get in trouble.
I voted for McCain last year (by default, I wanted huckabee) because I knew Nobama would be a disaster, but i wasn't sold on the citizenship thing. on a whim, I asked a firend in the UK to see if she could find any old records from back when Kenya was a british colony. Well a few days later she emailed me this.
it looks real to me, but I'm not sure. And I havent been able to get a hold of my friend since she sent it to me. If this is legitimate, should i be worried?
Here's the link, I don't have a website to upload it to. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=281blzk&s=3
Gosh, BB, it must have taken you YEARS to save all that information! However did you DO it?? /s (I filched it for later use, incidentally...)
IBTZ, please, please, please!?!!?!?!?!
Can't read the background text, but it appears to be something in Dutch or German.
The Kitties have another one.
I think he was talking about the watermark text, the part that says "if you can read this, you've been scammed, ha ha. Love Rahm"
Dutch - and as everyone knows the British Crown, ever since the glorious revolution of 1688, has required that all legal documents in the United Kingdom, its colonies and provinces have to be written not only in english but also in dutch.
(OK - /sarc)
I filched it.
Black lined page borders made by computer, no computers in 1961
Well that part would be pretty easy to fidn out. It's on Wikipedia. it's the rest of it that has me all mixed up.
The text in the background is Dutch and says something like "this is a non-negotiable document". It must be a check or a stock certificate. (Dutch is not the official language of England or Kenya).
You should most definitely take this to the API (African Press International) I am sure they will pay you big bucks for it!!!
LOL...go back to the DailyKOS...
Says you! (LOL)
Oh that Rahm. What a rascal!
What black-lined page borders?
Do you mean the boxes in which the handwritten information is?
How did they print crossword puzzles in 1961?
Wellllll -— it COULD be that the government agency bought forms, or the stock for the forms, from the low bidder, in this case a Dutch company. Not bloody likely, though. Just possible.
The doctor's name looks like Sulu Kimshi.
The background appears to contain Afrikaans/Dutch language words.
I was under the impression he was not born with the name he goes by today. Wasn't his name Barry?
Oh, what a tangled web they weaved....
No, but this is...
Only one is a signature. The other is the printed name.
I read the Doctor's name as Kim. Under attending physician it looks like DM after the Dr.'s name. It's hard to read the first name.
Of course it could be. You just have to take the time to properly research this sort of thing. Like the time I clicked through on one of those "truth about colon cleansing" advertisements. Man, did I ever learn a lot! Did you ever try that? I mean, the kind of stuff that works its way up there I guess while you're asleep or something (man, I gotta wash the sheets more often) like tapeworms and the kind of stuff that you usually only see on late-night sci-fi movies bursting out of somebody's stomach, which I sure wouldn't want to happen to me because then I really would have to wash the sheets. But you can get rid of it, see? And you don't have to pay some 400-lb nurse named Agnes to stick a 9-foot tube up yer butt, either. It's all natural! I'd be happy to tell you all about it but Jim Thompson doesn't like product advertisements in his threads, so if you'd just post your credit card number, expiration date, and that funny little security number on the back you could have this stuff in your mailbox by next Tuesday. If the package is leaking a little, it's OK. Oh, if you put "CONFIDENTIAL" on your FR posting nobody else will be able to see it.
It's Dutch. I can make out the words,
"This is not a valid government document. It's political commentary."
Hey NOOB—
Why you fishing for whale in a bass lake?
It may be that the background words are Afrikaans, not Dutch. Any experts out there to make this determination?
If it is Afrikaans, it might just be that Kenya was using a type of unalterable paper from another available African source - and a Commonwealth country.
Again, this is for a document authenticator. This feature might be a dead giveaway of a forgery, or - it might just be a detail that is authentic.
I DO NOT KNOW. Please don't accuse me of anything, or of speculating.
All this thread is is speculation.
See 76!
See 76... lol...
Yep. That cans it. But it's cute.
I would note that this document has a real good-looking true type font. Not that that would be a deal-breaker, because the form is typeset, not typed.
I would also question the use of the term "Native-Born" in this document. Quite a coinkydink that that exact term would appear on a Kenyan birth certificate and the US Constitution...
Thanks for the update. It definitely did not pass the "smell test" - especially when you further notice the proportionally-spaced font type that appeared no more valid on a 1961 document than CBS's George Bush/ANG forgery was.
Thanks for the image post!
That writing is ballpoint and not a type that would have been around in Africa in 1961. That's precision ball point. No older than twenty years or less. IMO!
Ping to yet Another birth certificate.
It all looked too convenient , like someone was trying to play a game and make something we expect we would find. Probably the KOS kiddos playing a game. What they don't realize is that the Birthers are that way (I'm not one but that's another story) because they are skeptics, not because they are suckers who buy into anything for hope's sake.
This actually brings up a very serious question.
If and when Obama DOES produce a "long form birth certificate," how is anyone going to know that whatever he produces is not a forgery?
To the naked eye, this particular faked "document" looks pretty convincing.
Heh. Partners in crime...
lol, I guess the troll didn't get the response he wanted. I bet he expected a bunch of suckers who would buy anything out of hope instead of a bunch of skeptics.
Oh, it was obviously a game. I think he partly wanted to see how long it would take us to bust the code.
Kinda fun, actually. :-)
Thanks. I don't read Dutch - glad you do!
His entire administration will be removed and given to McCain.
Here's the potential key evidence, as far as I'm concerned.
Point 1: The COLB posted on Obama's web site may or may not be phony (I haven't decided on that point yet.)
Point 2: Obama's failure to come up with a real, long form birth certificate in a timely manner, and his expenditure of a vast amount of money in legal fees is, in my opinion, a 100% indication that something is rotten in Denmark. I don't know what that something is, but something is fishy.
Point 3: Government officials and the media have stalled, obfuscated, gone to court, ridiculed those who've asked for reasonable proof (even giving them their own insulting label: "birthers"), and changed their story.
If you're in a police investigation, the suspect declining to prove his innocence when it should be very easy to do so, and changing his or her story under further questioning, is a sure sign that something is not innocent.
So the key evidence for me, at this point, is the history of the thing to this point.
I guess that about sums it up.
If and when Obama DOES produce a "long form birth certificate," how is anyone going to know that whatever he produces is not a forgery?
To the naked eye, this particular faked "document" looks pretty convincing.
Pinging Marmolade.
Oh, I had help from Babelfish. :-)
Looks too real. ;-) Looks a lot more legit than the fake HI COLB.
After close examination of the document in question I must assume we are looking for a Muslim with only a left hand as the creator of this document.
It is of course a forgery, since Stanley Ann Dunham was known as "Anna Toot" by Obama's Kenyan relatives, and that name should be on this fake birth certificate.

Chapter 19
Jesus came to save souls—He gives the parable of the pounds—He rides in triumph into Jerusalem, weeps over the city, and cleanses the temple again.
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the

The most memorable magazine article I read this summer may have been Atul Gawande's� take on the health care industry in the New Yorker, and I think of it whenever the topic of health costs comes up.
Gawande, a Boston surgeon, compared U.S. hospitals to the Cheesecake Factory – and showed how the hospitals could learn something from the restaurant chain. Gawande goes into considerable detail on how the Cheesecake Factory sets and enforces standards of quality and uniformity, how they train and supervise employees, how they identify best practices and communicate them through the organization. The company determines the single best way to dribble pesto glaze and makes sure everyone knows how.
The Cheesecake Factory kitchen manager had a suggestion for the surgeon: �This is pretty obvious. I�m sure you already do it. But I�d study what the best people are doing, figure out how to standardize it, and then bring it to everyone to execute.�
That doesn't happen in medicine, Gawande says, but it's starting to happen in large hospital chains, where the each-physician-is-boss mentality is starting to chip away.
Gawande traces the hospital part of the analysis through the experience of his mother, herself a physician, who he brought to Brigham & Women's for her second total knee replacement, an operation 600,000 Americans go through each year. It turns out there are several replacement knees on the market, several ways of installing them, and several ways of rehabbing patients who receive them.� As you might guess, some ways of doing it are better than others, and can make a huge difference in cost and in how long it takes patients to recover.� The problem is that American medicine is a field in which authority and communication are widely dispersed.� There's no central office telling physicians to use the therapy that gets patients back on their feet in three weeks instead of the one that requires three months of rehabilitation.
I mention Gawande's article at this late date because I still think it's a great read, and because in our endless debate over what government should do about health care, we sometimes forget to note the sweeping changes that have been happening in the health care industry while Washington bickered.
Those changes in the private sector, as I explain Sunday, are largely responsible for the good news on health care costs. For the fourth year in a row, health care costs have increased at a lower level than expected.� From 2009 to 2011, health care spending increased at a lower pace than it has in 52 years of keeping records.� Among other things, that cost restraint has prompted the CBO to reduce the projected federal deficit by $200 billion.
What's going on within the health industry, some of it encouraged by new government policies, show that "bending the cost curve" isn't as impossible as the "cut benefits now" crowd seems to assume. For those who care not just about the federal deficit but also what spiraling health costs do to state and local governments, private employers and family budgets, it's good news.� The U.S. still spends twice what other developed countries pay for health care, without healthier outcomes, but there are things we can do about it; indeed, we already are.
