Right now, I've got Obama ahead of Romney 3:2.

This b!tching about Romney paying 14% taxes annoying. If your sole income is from capital gains, and the tax rate on capital gains is 15%, then that's what you pay. The implication is that is less than what the "middle class" pays. Nonsense. Everyone pays the same capital gains rate.

Remember that you were already taxed on your income before you could take what was left over to invest it at your own risk. If you happen to make the right decision and that money appreciates, why should the government get any of it?

If these are the best questions Candy chose to be asked I shudder to think what others were like.

They should have chosen someone who's name is not Candy.

Wage inequality. YAWN.

Pretty sure it's all good when everyone is making zero.

[mjw8204]

Ohhhhhh godddddd. Sooooooo lame already.

This is what happens when with less than a month to go both parties still have to pander to people who are inexplicably undecided.

Why do we always have to cater to the ignorant and apathetic lowest common denominator?

They've been campaigning for two freaking years. Pick a side you nozzlewads. You're ruining the process.

I see you've met the people you will be standing in line with at the polling station.

I passed up a chance to be on the local news today. A TV cameraman stopped me on the street and asked if I would be willing to go on camera and give my expectations for tonight's debate, and I politely declined.

If I had done it, I would have given him a fake name like Harry Reems or Chad Buttsechsington.

[mjw8204]

One of my former college professors is giving a (strongly biased against Romney) play by play of the debate on ********. He's filled an entire page. I almost wish people would start posting the usual LOLcats and self-pity status updates.

[therorschach]

Adam Baldwin is 50.

[theshoupguy]

Lulz. You really do have everyone.

Also, strong XCOM OCD

I know there are still a handful of people I missed, but I know I got everyone that's participated in the last few rants, along with a few wildcards.

+ the stats just help for when Fantasy XCOM season starts and we need to pick up / trade accordingly.

They're all randomly generated - I kept the ones that were used during the first playthrough though. You did get pretty lucky with yours.

1. Obama took this night. 1-1. Foreign Policy debate next week will be fascinating.
2. The GOP is going to, unfairly, crucify the moderator tomorrow.
3. Mittens needs to calm down a little. He had good points to make (overlooking the fact that they're points which are a complete 180 from the platform he ran on) but his insistence to come out the bigger man overshadowed the larger message of what he was trying to get across. He tried to Biden it to Obama, but without the solid facts, just empty rhetoric.
4. How in the hell did Mitt mess up the Libya question? That should've been the "gotcha" of the night. The administration fumbled that pretty badly. Yet it was an overwhelming point to Obama.
5. If we're going to allow great questions like the one on Libya and gun control, for the love of god in the future get rid of the moronic ones like "why is everything so expensive?"

[kvk1]

Man...you never run on questioning the level of patriotism a President/Administration has for its citizens. Especially for those serving abroad. It doesn't play well with anyone.

Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them.

More entertaining than the last debate but ultimately a waste of time. Moderator sucked.

[ryuten]

All Presidential Debates are a waste of time. Vote Third Party.

But Dom aren't you in Australia so it shouldn't even matter?

Finally went back to my MMA gym after 3 months. My rear delts/traps are sore as hell from keeping my hands up.

X2.. doublelulz at including income that came from investments and trying to deceive people into thinking they pay a lower rate.

And as we all know, tax revenues are much more correlated with GDP than with tax rate.. so it's all feeding on people's emotions.

I just got the results back from my sleep clinic. I already knew I had sleep apnea even when I was skinny. At times I woke up maybe like once or twice in the middle of the night but mostly to take a piss. But I'd still be hella tired. Turns out on average that I stop breathing 31 times per hour for more than 10 seconds each time!!! No wonder why I fall asleep through a ton of stuff.

I still have an interest in what goes on. I've followed every election closely for the last 20 years or so.

This way I won't bombard the rant with more updates of their heroic feats/deaths.

*Gasp* I'm not the only one above Sergeant anymore? I liked standing atop all the little guys.

Here is me in some bad ass titan armor w/ a plasma sniper rifle though: (if it is a screen stretcher, blame shouples )

Man...you never run on questioning the level of patriotism a President/Administration has for its citizens. Especially for those serving abroad. It doesn't play well with anyone.

Which candidate did that?

[Farley1324]

Nice rifle.


I call bullshit on my fantasy league settings. Waivers haven't run yet, I want to put a claim in on somebody, and it is telling me I can't submit a waiver claim after the wavier period is over. But he is still on waivers. WTF?

Also, I'm sick and fukking tired of leading the league in points against, and not getting a single cot damn break on anything.

If you were the last one to drop said player (i.e., you waived him) you can not put a waiver claim in on the same player. You have to wait for them to clear waivers and enter the free agency market.

Ah, more xcom talk. This game has taken over so much time, I haven't bothered to check on bb.com lately.

pro tip chuzzle: Snipers get the archangel armor. The armor + squad sight + scope + double tap + plasma... it's deadly. I've knocked out berserker level of hp in one archangel turn, so a bit over 20. Out of all the late game armor, and I'm not counting titan here because there's almost no hit to ellerium to build, it's the most deadly. It works great in tandem with a squad mate in ghost armor as well, but I won't spoil the effects of that if you haven't unlocked it yet.

I don't have the game. That is just a screen shot of Shoup's game. He gave it to me to relish my awesomeness.


I will relay this information to him. He is trying to figure out how to get me a jetpack so I can rain death from above.
