Hey lazs, I bet my son can beat up your son.

My oldest son and grandson.

Knew I could work in a pic of one of my gransons.

Lazs, I've met Mr Lars - I'd suggest your son arrive with an ambulance so he has a ride to the hospital afterwards.

Both stations are back up - Chicago and LA - 10 more stations by the end of the month.

they stream online, with millions of unique hits each day. Air America broke Real Audio records for volume of users.

Huh? What violence?

What are you trying to say?

Cutting off the freeloaders from a trough financed by the money extorted from the productive people is Nazi now?

Well Rip I own my business, so I work for each of my clients, and I have had rich clients as well as poor. Their money spends the same.

I am not rich. I receive zero corporate welfare. I employ several people.

How again does it work that we create jobs by giving money to big corporations?

hmmm... iron.. my son is bigger than that. A lot bigger.

also.. according to the charts it seems that the increases all came from defense and something called "911 response" so... seems that they justified increases considering the situation.

As for "corprate welfare" depends.. need to take it on a case by case but there is plenty of room for cuts. Is farming susidies corprate welfare for instance? Tax breaks are not welfare in my opinion. Taking peoples taxes and giving them to others is.

The democrats take my taxes and give em to the worthless partiers and druggies down the street. Would 100 times more like em to cut IBM's taxes instead. Any person who works for a living is probly a stockholder in some "corporations" and benifiets from "corprate wellfare" I see no benifiet in being fleeced to pay for the worthless people.

Hey Lazs, maybe you should edit that threat to me you posted before someone decides to take action.

That kind of crap doesn't belong here.
