It’s hard to be in orbit when this was all filmed in a Hollywood studio!!! Elebenty!!
And da flag is Ameribelgian!!!
But if you turn the astronaut on his side, he’s an israeli socialist soldier with a toy gun in his mouth.
But is it Ironic or Global Warming?
It’s Ironic Warming.
But there’s not water on the moon to hide the graffiti….. WTF? Did get so hot it evaporated? Who’s at fault for the IRonic warming, the MArtians, Americans, or man in the moon?
It was those damn illegal Venutians.
DEY TOK R JAWBZ!!!
WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!????!!!!!1111!!>
Would we have let Hitler host the olympics!?!??!?!!11?
they took errrrrrrrr jerrrrbs
Turk eh durr!
Yeah, because the astronaut is TOTALLY complaining about being sent to the moon.
Was this another one of those failure to use the Reply button?
I think it’s just a comment on how stupid this lol is. A comment with which I agree…
imagine that, a stupid lol. now i’ve seen it all.
He didn’t figure it out when they put him in that space suit??
ZOMG I’M ON DA MOON!
*is talented enough to text wearing space gloves*
Uh…..Rando? Why did the moon just crash into the Pacific Ocean?
Is that what caused that quake in Chile?
(Too soon?)
WAY TOO SOON!!!!!! Somewhat funny but still too soon.
Speaking of which the Discovery Channel had a hard on for NYC this weekend. One show was if a quake hit NYC how bad the devistation would be, another was the Prehistoric Creatures that inahbitted the island prior to NYC being there.
Hey, if we can’t make fun of natural disasters, what CAN we make fun of?
Besides goptoughguy of course.
Umm Rando’s new hair cut?!?!?!
Hey, I like Rando’s new haircut.
By the way, Rando – how are Mrs and Baby Rando doing?
I have a new hair cut? I thought my undergarments were in a wad.
I thought it was cute that he used my first name, like it means something. When you click my name, it leads you to my LOLs where it says *GASP* Eric-in-STL!!!! How could he reveal my super secret identity?
Btw, I made a few points to Mr. toughguy. I had some questions for him.
And ILPB, you handled him quite well, my boy. There might be hope for you yet.
But, how are Mrs. and Baby Rando?
Oh, yeah, sorry. She feels like crap, but she’s not upset about it because it’s for a good cause.
Baby is doing just fine so far.
Excellent: Congrats!!
Yay! I’m very happy Rando. I wish you and the Rando clan all the best.
Yay! *sending anti-nausea thoughts to Mrs. Rando*
Just so long as you know not all conservatives are like that. AND he represents what needs to get OUT of the Republican party.
i know he’s embarrassing, and i’m not trying to rub anything in, but people like him are why there are conservative democrats. And if you really do support gay rights and are pro-choice, you sound pretty much in-line with the way conservative democrats vote. just saying, it might be easier to move, than to try and make the rest of the town move.
oh crap, i thought we were still on the ‘goptoughguy’ thread. my bad.
I think we are.
It’s all good. But in response to your post. There are still few Blue Dog Democrats, and lately the Dems have been living the you voted OUR entire platform in when you voted for us. If you notice there was a Republican President and Republican congress for a good 6 years, yet “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” didn’t go anywhere, and Roe vs Wade wasn’t repealled as many liberals feared, however there’s been a Dem congress and Dem President for a little over a year and already Obama’s spent as much as Bush did his entire second term, Health Care is being ushered in against public support, Terrorists are being brought to American mainland for trials, etc…. Why I couldn’t vote for the dems right now. If we could get more like McCain (used to be), Scott Brown, The Governator…
Where did you get that Obama has spent more than Bush did in his entire second term? Whatever numbers they are, i believe they might be skewed a bit. Bush’s war’s weren’t on his budget, and Bush’s tax cuts might not technically be spending but it cost the US treasury about 4 trillion dollars in tax revenue. I’m not game with the back and forth really, but honestly it’s hard to think that Obama’s stimulus plan (his only major spending) compares to Bush in spending, and to say so doesn’t do justice for a President handed a crippling economy.
I have been laughing really hard, because some Republicans are all ‘Shocked! Shocked!’ that Scott Brown didn’t vote the party line, and is instead voting like Olympia Snow. Hello? The man is from Massachusetts, after all!
Bottom line , when you’re bankrupt you don’t spend your way out of debt. I never liked Bush’s spending either. However Bush’s tax cuts helped to stimulate a stale economy after Clinton’s almost recession and then 9/11. I wasn’t counting Obama’s “War Budget”, it was the “stimulus” package that had billions in pork in it.
But Scott Brown IS against Big Spending and the current version of Health Care, however understand the constitution.
I can understand the fear about increasing spending when the economy has tanked… but a quick lesson from history (in particular 1929 – 1936) shows that when spending is cut and “protectionism” is instilled, the economy just tanks further. The Great Depression kept getting worse until it reached it’s greatest low in 1933. I forget the economists name (I can look it up if you really want), but he pointed out to the American government that in order to get out of the depression they had to stimulate spending, which meant going into debt and spending more. The idea being it would be easy to pay off the debt once the economy was strong again.
this is why i don’t like the back and forth. we end up just stating political talking points and/or just ignoring facts. One of Obama’s first ‘laws’ was to include the department of defense in the national budget. During Bush’s years, it was not included. So automatically, Obama spent more than Bush did in his first 3 months. You can’t take your numbers from one-sided sources, they say whatever they want regardless of the truth. I listen to Hannity on my way home from work, partly because i want to hear what the opposite side has to say, and party because i’m sick of the radio stations around here. You’d think the democrats were Nazi’s “taking over our country” after listening to 30 minutes of his radio show. He claims shtuff all the time, that have no merit in truth or fact. If you are serious about deficit management and responsible spending, take a look at history (democrats spend more responsibly than republicans for the most part). If you are serious about economic prosperity and job growth, take a look at history (democrats have better numbers than the best republican, aka Reagan). It’s silly to go back and forth on this because you will either look at facts or not. Ideology is great, it really is, and i don’t fault anyone for that. But it’s the actual history, the actual facts, and the actual numbers that prove that every time (except Reagan), Republicans say that they’ll represent that ideology in the future, we’ve lost our path, or we’ve taken our eye off the ball. Republicans are very good at capturing the country’s emotions, fears, and ideologies they just aren’t that good at delivering them.
Churj, are you thinking of Keynes?
The problem with that argument is that it doesn’t scale. While increased government spending might help to blunt the effects of a mild recession — if it were applied fairly, which is a bit of a pipe dream since the bulk of the money goes to public sector employees and connected, unionized firms — in a depression, the amount of spending required would mean turning the country into a command economy. (Remember, too, that the increased taxation required to make up for the deficit spending is going to slow the recovery.)
Roosevelt’s protectionism — his tariffs, his price controls, and to a lesser extent his wage controls — were instrumental in worsening and prolonging the depression. A more moderate approach might have had the economy improving in 1933, not lingering until 1942. (Incidentally, FDR’s wage controls led to the invention of the modern employer-sponsored health insurance program, so we’ve got him to thank for that, too.)
Dhoti, i have to say you are very eloquent for a antagonist. That being said, lets drop your FDR argument since (public opinion and congressional representation was the major force behind FDR’s policies that you fault him for) the major point you try to make is that government spending didn’t help the country out of a recession. Guess what happens in 1939? The biggest government spending in the country’s history….WWII. Government spending became something of no concern to anyone, spend whatever it takes to defeat the Nazis. And guess what, that amazing amount of government spending ended up putting all the jobless into jobs (including government jobs like military and industrial tank, planes, rifles, MRE’s, cigarettes, etc etc). The country decided as a whole, that spending was not an issue and put millions and millions of Americans to work. Hence the recession ended before the war did.
I very well was thinking of Keynes, I believe.
I agree with you completely about protectionism… hence why I said when protectionism is instilled, the economy tanks further. Reference the “Buy American” provision.
Without needing to spend too much time researching specific numbers, I’ll make the blanket statement (as unstable as they are) that while your argument may hold some ground for the USA, it doesn’t address Canada, Britain, Germany, Russia, France, or any other major economies. The first country to drag itself out of the Great Depression was Germany, spurred by massive government spending and employment put in place by the newly appointed NSDAP in 1933. By 1936 the German economy was by far the most powerful in the world. In 1936 the USA was still dealing with 15%+ unemployment rates. Meanwhile, increased government spending in Britain and Canada had led to some noticable growth and stabilisation by 1936 (the year most often regarded as the beginning of the recovery period, insofar as I have read).
Churj, Germany’s a bad example, because it had to become essentially a command economy in order to recover. It would have proven to be an unsustainable recovery in any case, because it was so heavily dependent on deficit spending — imports were high, exports were practically nonexistent, and the government gradually stopped paying its suppliers.
To me, that’s an example of the scaling problem I mentioned before — the only way to spend your way out of a depression is to nationalize the economy, and even then, it’s a false recovery.
I can agree that Germany may be a less than ideal example. As I said, I was using a blanket statement, as ugly as they are. I don’t think it’s fair to say that the German recovery was unsustainable though… it’s impossible to determine that based on the fact that the Reich was essentially bombed into non-existence.
Using Canada as another example, throughout the early 30′s the government introduced several major spending programs in order to keep people employed. Most of the major roads that exist today in Canada were built during that time in some form. That increased spending lead to an almost full recovery by 1938, 4 years before the American economy would manage to do the same.
The way modern economies are structured relies solely on the flow of fluid assets (ie. cash). That’s what happens when an economy become service based. I know it seems counter-intuitive, but the best way to prop up a flagging economy is to increase the cash flow. I don’t mean to say going into irresponsibly deep debt is a great idea, but some deficit spending is going to be necessary if any government wants to avoid prolonged recession.
(On that point, I’ll use Canada as an example… our government very quickly into the recession began a massive program of stimulus spending, and the result is that our economy has barely suffered while the American, British, European and Japanese economies all crashed).
Chruj: Over $750 Billion in spending not to mention the previous $250 Billion by Bush so over $1 Trillion dollars and it really didn’t help. So I can’t buy spending money helps the economy.
I’d go further and suggest that the US economy recovered in 1942 as a result of going onto a war footing, with increased government spending.
In fact, it’s been suggested that there should have been a recession in the late 1960s, and that it was prevented by the combination of the Vietnam War and project Apollo.
ILPB: I know what you mean, and again, I can see why spending money seems like a stupid idea when in recession. I don’t know the specifics of that $1tri, so I can’t say much but my point is that stimulus spending needs to be well spent, not just spent on anything.
@Churj: Are you sure the Canadian economy had recovered by 1938? According to what I’m seeing, government infrastructure projects increased employment early on, but productivity and economic growth only rebounded during the war.
So far, what little of Obama’s stimulus money has been spent has gone to bureaucratic overhead or to unionized/connected firms. (Never mind the funds listed as going to non-existent congressional districts that we can’t even account for.) Is it a pipe dream to even be able to expect government to distribute a stimulus fairly and efficiently?
If the government’s really interested in stimulating the economy, and doesn’t mind taking a financial hit to do so, the best thing it can do is to cut taxes — that’s far more effective than pretty much any government program could hope to be.
Well one could argue about Defense spending which is one of the few government expendatures that creates steady American jobs. A large portion of the moeny spent on defense goes right back into the economy, American industrial jobs, American soldiers, American jobs in support of design of equipment, etc….. Churj you are right about spending the money properly, it’s just the dems seemed to have gone about it half hazard (Bush was no better in his final years), which is why I’ll usually be a Republican vice a Democrat. Plus democrats don’t like to vote in the middle grounders, Carter, Dukakus, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and now Obama, everyone of them wanted to pull the country signifigantly left with legislation, while Reagan, Bush, Dole, and Bush did not try and overturn one “liberal” policy established.
Prior? Have you ever been to the Bronx?
Hee hee hee.
Look if you don’t want to go, you can send me in your place.
Um, couldn’t you find a picture of an astronaut who was *actually* orbiting Earth?
Um, you realize that the moon orbits the earth, right?
I’m just sayin’ this picture would look so much better if it depicted an astronaut actually floating above Earth’s surface (clicky linky), ie. he’s actually “Seeing The World”, not one who’s staring down to the surface of the Moon while climbing down a ladder.
