Even government spending on golf carts increases GDP. I'm really trying to come to grips with how just writing checks to people and letting them spend it overseas is helpful.

Transform that lawn area from a series of clandestine wristband-wearing secret societies into an open festival. Invite the ticket and all those traveling trinket sellers to attend. Get the radio stations to promote their presence on the air. Let them bring their own damn schwag and pretty girls, thereby keeping UNT's costs down. I swear to God that had GMG not transformed me into a regular tailgater, I would never have returned to a football game after my first experience. Not because of the piss poor product on the field, but because of the closed off atmosphere outside the stadium. I've no desire to be shunned all over the place like that.

Back to the topic at hand, I've got a question for the tax cut people who favor the trickle down theory. You state that the wealthy do not sit on their money, but rather invest it therefore creating jobs and growing the economy. My question is with whom they invest and whose economy they grow. Examples abound of outsourcing by large companies, generally the target of wealthy investors. The companies send their cash to overseas production plants, thus increasing GNP, but doing nothing for GDP. How does this help those people in our own country waiting for those trickle down jobs and dollars? Not everybody can be a significant shareholder. This is admittedly a result of my wandering mind while sitting in Macro 1110 this morning, so it is not meant to snark or challenge. I most assuredly do not have the answers.

I read about this offense somewhere a few months ago, and I'm pretty sure it was stated to be illegal in NCAA and NFL. Something to do with jersey numbers.

That's a pretty crappy bait and switch if you ask me.

This game's just not in the cards.

I've got lots of opinions. Those must be worth something. I'll try ebaying them and see what I get. We'll split the profits.

Isn't this the forum where all the crap that's inappropriate for the other forums ends up? What's so lockable? Bringing football into a political discussion? Quoting posts from the football thread nearly verbatim, but inserting White House and Obama in place of stadium and Dodge? I've seen lot's of threads that need locking, but I'm not clear on what your motivation for this one is. The original topic has been beaten to death. Given the fact that the greatest economic minds in the world have never been able to agree on government involvement in economy, I don't think we're going to win any Nobel prizes talking about it here.

I would, but I'm neither V, V nor I.

Good God. Are they even a Division 1 nation? Just goes to show the ongoing apathy of the US as others pass us by.

I have it on good authority that groundbreaking for the new White House will begin this summer and be open for the first campaign speech of 2011. It's just plain embarrassing to have a house that's 200 years old when our allies are working out of such new, shiny digs.

Those results begin with DC school districts following the lead of Chicago and staying open on snow days. Obama will see to it that DC snow plows will take the offensive on stormy days and spread their alignment across the city.

If anything, I think that whole alley oop dunk was more embarrassing for Lafayette. Really? You're going to showcase your dunking prowess over our walkons? Does that validate the utter spanking you took for the first 30 minutes of the game? Knobs.

Bad link.

It looked like a nice event the alumni association was putting on last year at the games. However, when I look forward as to where I want to send those Benjamin's when I'm once again gainfully earning and contributing to this economy that is the United States of America, I think I'd prefer to join the Mean Green Club.

Is that eleventy trillion with 12 zeroes or 18?

Perhaps you should get the prescription on your glasses checked. What you saw was a jam packed arena of apathetic fans and angry students witnessing a profoundly inept athletic program incarnate. Fire everybody!

True to form, we've got UNT to the right of center, to the left of center, but never, ever under center.

I'm fairly certain that Powell has expressed that he had no interest in returning to the political arena after his Secretary of State stint. Do you have evidence that suggests he wanted to be McCain's VP?

Can we implement a system of executive order stickers?

How does a two division conference with a championship game make a conference better? I'd rather have a smaller conference that allows us to play each team every season. Besides, I can't recall a Big XII championship game that's even remotely held my interest.

5. Step five - profit. 6. Step six - increase profit by cutting costs related to number/numeral redundancy in steps list.

Good point. There was a mass exodus at halftime.
