Memo to New Orleans residents:

1. That big blue thing is called an ocean.

2. If you would have to look up to see it, you might want to make flood insurance a priority, and kindly don't blame the government for any decisions they made or didn't make about some wall if you were not smart enough to have aforementioned coverage. If you can't afford to live there, then don't.

3. If you would have to look up to see previously mentioned big blue thing, you might want to get the fuck out of the way of it when a hurricane is coming.

I give you this advice because thanks to your fucking stupidity, along with the stupidity of my fellow Americans, I get to help pay for it, so the least I can do is pass this along, even though you are apparently too fucking stupid to comprehend what is being hinted at...ah-- well--let me break it down to simpler terms:

STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG BLUE THING!

How stupid are these people?

I factored in hurricanes when I purchased my home. I live in central Pennsylvania. I needed to. That is my big hint, you GD morons! (folk that did not in New Orleans---- and to to the rest of you- I'm still workin' on that whole PC thing. :pottytrain2: )

Rep. John Murtha D- PA just died. Tag him and bag him. Hopefully we get a Republican to replace him. Semper fi, you prick. I'll see you in hell.

Seeing all the non love for New Orleans, I will staunchly defend New Orleans and strongly believe as a nation it needs to be a priority to save the city. Why? It's the ONLY city in America where a heterosexual man can see a nice pair of college boobies for the price of cheap beads.

New Orleans rules! Save New Orleans.

Oh, and congratulations Saints. I didn't think I'd watch the game but ended up at a friend's house and enjoyed it immensely.

Ah, the only problem with your analysis, Foster, is that you think Pennsylvania is different in its politicians and choice thereof.

Here in Iowa the Republicans are looking to put Terry Branstad forward as their candidate again.....despite his having demonstrated, in his earlier stints, his idiocy.

Our gov'mint also spends an average of $14,000 per employee "showing them how their job works". (National average for state employees is something like $700.)

Don't tell VR and Formo this, but I actually thought Minnesota showed a bit of temporary hope for relative sanity when they elected "The Body" for a term. (Of course they quickly reverted to type.)

Now maybe if you want to go all historical and point to, say, Geo. Washington; but you're not that old. "Excellent government" in the last 50 or so years....this example I gotta hear about. :)

So what makes/made Fairfax County "excellent" in its government in the last 5 decades?

And how in the heck did they manage to avoid the crap that the rest of us have degenerated into?)

I could write a book about that, but the short and sweet explanation is that the citizens are in tune with their government. They will not put up with any nonsense. They lean conservative, but will pay for things that work. Things work there. The traffic is the only problem with the place, but that problem is huge. Frankly, it worked too well. Everyone wanted to live there. I know it's unbelievable, but true...I swear.

Memo to New Orleans residents:

1. That big blue thing is called an ocean.

2. If you would have to look up to see it, you might want to make flood insurance a priority, and kindly don't blame the government for any decisions they made or didn't make about some wall if you were not smart enough to have aforementioned coverage. If you can't afford to live there, then don't.

3. If you would have to look up to see previously mentioned big blue thing, you might want to get the fuck out of the way of it when a hurricane is coming.

I factored in hurricanes when I purchased my home. I live in central Pennsylvania. I needed to. That is my big hint, you GD morons! (folk that did not in New Orleans---- and to to the rest of you- I'm still workin' on that whole PC thing. :pottytrain2: )

Rep. John Murtha D- PA just died. Tag him and bag him. Hopefully we get a Republican to replace him. Semper fi, you prick. I'll see you in hell.

But these people obviously had some trust that the levies wouldn't break.

That's like Z2C saying that you're not going to be kicked. Then kicks you from the site and then we're going to blame it all on your behaviour. It makes little sense.

I was going to suggest that maybe it has to do with the size -- counties being smaller than states or the USA, and so government is "closer" to those it would regulate. But my guess is that Fairfax County has way too many people for that argument to hold water.

Maybe it is the "invisible hands" of Washington, Mason, etc.

I mean, who did Pennsylvania have. That Franklin dude? Bah.

And of course Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota....we've got no decent ghosts of good government to keep us in line.

You should write the book. 🙂

The thing is, I'm being serious.

I live in San Francisco. It's a gay city. It really is. Every year, gays have their parades and there's plenty of nudity. You know what? More power to them. Seriously.

The problem is, there is NO straight city in the United States of America, other than New Orleans. Yes, I really mean that. There is none.

There is no city where straight people go around and act even half as crazy as the gays do in San Francisco. No, Las Vegas doesn't cut it. Most of the people I see in Vegas I DO NOT want to see nekkid.

New Orleans is it. It's the only one in the whole country.

If I were President of the USA, dead serious, first thing I'd do would be to make Executive Orders and pretty much strike down every single law I saw as Unconstitutional in the book since the Supreme Court refuses to do their job.

The very next thing I do would be to pull out of every foreign entanglement we're in.

The very next thing - save New Orleans. Us straight folk need a city.

2010 will be seen as the beginning of the new Packers dynasty. 🇹🇹 🇲🇲 🇦🇷
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (14h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (18h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (18h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (19h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (19h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (19h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (19h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (19h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (19h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (19h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (19h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (19h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (19h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (19h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (20h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (21h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (21h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (21h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
