I have not seen code like that, since my cobal days

no do that in machine language and I will be impressed

See that word in bold?

It tells me you can't/didn't code.

Tell ya what: If you can code that in Fortran IV.
On punch cards.
Without a manual.

I will write you a derpbot.

In any computer language you want.

I've not seen "10 Print" in many many many many years. And, no, I was never a coder. I'm trying to recall, isn't that a command we'd put into a Commodore 64 to get it to display something? Or am I thinking too old.

Told you, it's been years and I can find my frame of reference for the memory anymore.

Republicans decided long ago that they were going to reflexively oppose EVERYTHING that Barack Obama proposed. They have been dedicated to making sure he fails long before he ever took control of the country. It's been the most petty, juvenile display of festering Conservative Butt Hurt contemporary history has ever seen, with the Clinton era "Militia" movements a close second.

There was a time when being a Conservative was not such a bad thing. The two sides had their differences but managed to work things out eventually for the betterment of the country. Elections were hard fought battles but once the dust settled, everyone rallied behind the winner because, after all, he was their president, too.

Then the black guy won....

I see that you're telling the truth, winterwhile's alt.

No, you're mistaken. I'm thread-jacking with a question related to a response you gave but not related to the article itself. At the same time, I'm poking fun at myself for being old ("I'm not a day over 29," she said vainly).

Winterwhile is a threadshiatter that I have on ignore.

The mocking you guys have been doing of it is the only reason I don't have my setting to ignore responses to people on my ignore.

Robert Draper went fully embedded into the 112th House of Representatives (the one in power now) with pretty much unlimited access. This is a crystal clear view into the workings of Congress. I'm only a couple of chapters in but it's already, well, stunning, and not in a good way. Oh, and it is quite balanced with plenty of villainy to go around.

But people have had MORE jobs under Obama and when the democrats were in congress. Only now is the economy slowing down after Republicans pushed their cuts.

Not true, more have stopped looking, if they came back, the unemployment rate would be above 15%

How would you know? You don't know the difference between COBOL and BASIC.

just add 0010 and 0010 for me


2+2 = 4

or 5, if you're a Republican and Obama has just said it equals 4.

Nah, it goes back a lot longer than that. The last time a Democrat occupied the White House, the GOP tried to impeach him over nonsense, conservatives believed all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories about him (eg. Vince Foster), and right-wing militias full of anti-government gun nuts started springing up all over the place.

I blame Reagan. Reagan's victory in 1980 started the party rolling rightward and spelled the end of the moderate wing of the party.

Really? Reagan was a RINO. He raised taxes more than ten times. He granted amnesty to 6 million illegals. He sold weapons to terrorists across the world. He literally funded the mujaheddin and called our enemies friends.

meat0918: fusillade762: meat0918: ghare: fusillade762: Is it too much to ask for Fark trolls to make actual sense? I like my derp with a bit of internal consistency.

You ever actually TALK to a teabagger?

Yes, they get a kinda dreamy look as they repeat "I'm just trying to show you the truth" and "I just want to warn you".

I have a conspiracy minded friend (goes on about the Bildeburgers, fluoridation, chemtrails, UFOs, etc) who does this. He's not a Teabagger, but he sometimes uses phrases like "I used to be like you." when I get skeptical with him. It's infuriating.

I want to just cut people like that out of my life, but it just reinforces their conspiracy theories.

It's like they isolated themselves at some point(self-imposed or otherwise), and when they emerged from that isolation, they had constructed this framework to augment reality that helped them deal with the isolation, and make them feel important.

Unfortunately, to give that up means a return to not feeling special.

Oh, I know..if you'll notice I pointed out the Clinton era insanity in my original comment. You can still get the righties frothing simply by saying the word "Waco".

Reagan's presidency did much damage to political discourse by enacting the "Reagan Commandment" about "Thou shall never speak ill of fellow Republicans". Righties are firmly dedicated to that rule, so much so that they defend the indefensible pretty much daily. They are willing to sell the country to the moneyed elite rather than admit they're wrong. They will stay noticeably silent when a crazed right winger goes on a shooting spree, advocates discrimination of gay people and promotes racial profiling.

I come from a long line of farm belt Republicans and the party of yesterday bears no similarity to the party of today. Any more, being "Conservative" just means being a economically illiterate bigot.

The tax increases were regressive and hurt the poor and middle. The decreases overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy, so that fits in just fine with neocons.

Reagan also eliminated tax deductions that were beneficial to working class people like student loan interest.

"Reagan Worship" is largely revisionist. Righties have constructed this image of what they want him to be and not what he was. He's the "Great White Happy Daddy" that saved the world, but actual history tells a different story.

Jon Stewart interviewed the author in last night's The Daily Show. Good one. It's up on the web now.

sno man: quatchi: fta: "do we have to fight about everything?"

RELATED: John Boehner: 'America Can't Live For Four More Years With Barack Obama As President'

Nice juxtapositioning there.

Boehner crying crocodile tears over Obama's ostensible lack of compromise followed up by a reference to another story wherein Boehner's compromise resistant narrative is apparent.

Followed by more "what war on women?" derp.

Meh, as far as Rodney King impersonations go, I've seen worse.

He is a tiny bit right on the "War On Women"... The state Retards are mostly taking point.


That most of the legislative attempts to wage war on women's health have been done at the state level the GOP Congress is not without their list of sins either including attempts to defund PP and withdrawal of support for VAWA among others.

His argument is a false absolutist one here.

This the latest plank in the so-called "war on women," entirely created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain. Let's review the facts: The President, in his budget, called for reductions in spending in this slush fund that's given to the Secretary of HHS. The President called for reductions in spending. He may have already forgotten that several months ago you all voted to cut $4 billion out of this slush fund when they passed the payroll tax credit bill. So to accuse us of wanting to gut women's health is absolutely not true.

Not to mention pants-on-head retarded.

He said that the argument alone was "beneath the dignity of this House" and asked if because it is an election year, "do we have to fight about everything?"

This is as lame as the TEA partiers in Boston crying about the gays who dared to hit them back when they started yanking at wigs and hats... when you're the one picking the fight, you don't get to cry about the outcome.

I just don't know what to think anymore.........

I'm a golfer, so I wouldn't say golfing a lot is 'nothing.'
/wish i had the time and moola

I never knew that golfing was part of his job description. All politicians need to play golf after they get elected?

/just sayin'
//no ill will toward you

Well as much golfing he does, you'd think it was. Maybe he's just 'thinking' out there. Like us 'common folk' are forced to think while taking dumps.

You guys realize he's taken half the amount of vacation Reagan had taken at this point in his presidency? And 1/3 as much as Bush?


Stop bringing the truthful facts into the matter.

quatchi: Gyrfalcon: Cuchulane: JerseyTim: To be fair to Mr. Boehner, he skipped the meetings where the Republicans agreed to fight about everything.

I'm reading that book right now. So far it's stunning. This is an incredibly scary look inside the House of Representatives.

I've not heard of this before. What's it about?

Jon Stewart interviewed the author in last night's The Daily Show. Good one. It's up on the web now.

sno man: quatchi: fta: "do we have to fight about everything?"

RELATED: John Boehner: 'America Can't Live For Four More Years With Barack Obama As President'

Nice juxtapositioning there.

Boehner crying crocodile tears over Obama's ostensible lack of compromise followed up by a reference to another story wherein Boehner's compromise resistant narrative is apparent.

Followed by more "what war on women?" derp.

Meh, as far as Rodney King impersonations go, I've seen worse.

He is a tiny bit right on the "War On Women"... The state Retards are mostly taking point.

That most of the legislative attempts to wage war on women's health have been done at the state level the GOP Congress is not without their list of sins either including attempts to defund PP and withdrawal of support for VAWA among others.

His argument is a false absolutist one here.

This the latest plank in the so-called "war on women," entirely created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain. Let's review the facts: The President, in his budget, called for reductions in spending in this slush fund that's given to the Secretary of HHS. The President called for reductions in spending. He may have already forgotten that several months ago you all voted to cut $4 billion out of this slush fund when they passed the payroll tax credit bill. So to accuse us of wanting to gut women's health is absolutely not true.

Not to mention pants-on-head retarded.


I did say tiny.
And how anyone can be taken seriously that is so prepared to summarily dismiss basically half the voting public, before they even get going, is a mystery to me.

gimmegimme: HeartBurnKid: gimmegimme: Doc Daneeka: zappaisfrank: Republicans decided long ago that they were going to reflexively oppose EVERYTHING that Barack Obama proposed. They have been dedicated to making sure he fails long before he ever took control of the country. It's been the most petty, juvenile display of festering Conservative Butt Hurt contemporary history has ever seen, with the Clinton era "Militia" movements a close second.

There was a time when being a Conservative was not such a bad thing. The two sides had their differences but managed to work things out eventually for the betterment of the country. Elections were hard fought battles but once the dust settled, everyone rallied behind the winner because, after all, he was their president, too.

Then the black guy won....

Nah, it goes back a lot longer than that. The last time a Democrat occupied the White House, the GOP tried to impeach him over nonsense, conservatives believed all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories about him (eg. Vince Foster), and right-wing militias full of anti-government gun nuts started springing up all over the place.

I blame Reagan. Reagan's victory in 1980 started the party rolling rightward and spelled the end of the moderate wing of the party.

Really? Reagan was a RINO. He raised taxes more than ten times. He granted amnesty to 6 million illegals. He sold weapons to terrorists across the world. He literally funded the mujaheddin and called our enemies friends.

But he's the one who embraced the "conservative Christian" rhetoric. He brought these people, to whom politics is religion, out of the fringes and into the national discourse.

But...but...you're saying that Reagan was not really what he claimed to be and what Christine O'Donnell said he was?

I thought we were talking about Boehner and not Obama. Sadly I don't live in Boehner's district, so I can't help give him the boot.

winterwhile: crab66: Republican solution for everything: fark over the middle class.

dem-o-rat solution: put everyone out of work, on the dole



How, exactly, would that solve anything, smart guy? Doing something like that is stupid beyond mention. Which is probably why nobody is proposing anything near resembling it. Who's for doing that? Nobody. Who-body? NOBODY.

You might know that if you weren't to busy stuffing fishsticks in your ears to keep satanic things like truth out while you desperately weep at the words of Limbaugh who tells you how to think and feel about everything because you're too stupid/lazy to take the time to formulate your own opinion about anything.

Now the GOP throws a tantrum when there is any resistance whatsoever to their evil. They've officially run out of things to complain about.
