Wisconsin Takes A Stand For Fiscal Sanity

[Wezil]

Yes Oerdin, quorum rules were intended for the lawmakers that flee the jurisdiction.

Do you say this with a straight face? Seriously?

[Wezil]

Have you gotten around to reading the thread yet Oerdin? We dealt with this issue pages ago.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

No, I only assumed you may have had a point. I guess not.

But it's nice to see you agree with KH analysis which was blindingly obvious to you now. Hey, I'm wondering why people get so worked up about Einstein's ideas. I mean, duh, of course there's relativity.

Another appeal to authority this time in the form of Einstein. Have you no butt you will not kiss?

But to the crux of the matter throughout this thread your questions belied a fundamental naivete and lack of understanding regarding the role of union and management relationships.

The concepts KH had to agonizingly describe to you, namely the rent seeking behavior and the monopolistic power the teachers unions have was painful (albeit schadenfreude does appeal in this case) to observe.

Good lord these assumptions don't rise themselves to the level of assuming the speed of light a constant, nor do the conclusions they ultimately lend themselves to.

Unlike yourself who demonstably showed cluelessness, these assumptions and outcomes haves been around for years and are well understood by anyone who has taken labor relations managment courses.

Wow. You are delusional. I never said Krugman has never lied. In fact, I made it quite clear that he likely has.

Actually no you indicated all people lie. For all we know you have elevated Krugs to demigod hood status given your full throated defense of him.

However, I merely pointed out that it is unfair to call him a habitual liar without providing some evidence. Apparently, you think that means I want to marry him. :crazy:

squirm worm squirm


And the choice of allusion was not marriage but moreover acting as fellatrix to anything Krugs spews.

That's a typo. It should say "Why aren't you..."

Krug's bias here is irrelevant. You called him a liar with no supporting evidence.

I said they all lie and I believe you even agreed with me. I even said that he was better than others since the internet wasn't deluged with articles documenting his lying. Do you actually believe that he has never lied. By definition, if he has lied even once, he's a liar.

I'll agree that "not this time" wasn't relevant at that time, but your outrage was hilarious and you should get the pole out of your ass. BUT the Krugs is quite biased and I would hesitate using him as a reliable source. He bends the truth.

[Wezil]

Krugman was hilarious in the Odd Couple.

Wisconsin Heading Toward Endgame?

By Daniel Foster

There have been false alarms before, but look-see these tweets from Wisconsin reporter Jessica Arp:

Senate just convened, said they have a different bill than the Assembly passed. Conf Committee created, will meet at 6pm

A source confirms to News 3 that Republican Senators intend to remove fiscal portions of Budget Repair bill in order to pass w/out Dem Sen.

James Lindgren floated this idea here at NRO almost a week ago.

UPDATE: Here is what we’re hearing. It’s a fluid situation, but the conference committee will now meet at 7pm EST and we think they are going to pull the collective bargaining stuff from the budget-repair bill and pass it in both houses, which they can do without the Democrats. If the Democrats do yield and turn up, they’ll pass the full budget-repair bill in the senate, and it would go to the governor’s desk.

Either way, this could all be over (but the shouting — oh, my, the shouting) by tomorrow.

[Hauldren Collider]

Looks like they passed the bill. pwned

[Hauldren Collider]

I love how some left wingers are calling what they did (strip the budget portions out of the bill) the nuclear option. They had a majority. Besides, what the hell do you call a walkout?

[DinoDoc]

Will the Dems return now?

[Hauldren Collider]

Probably, they don't have any reason to stay away anymore. Frankly, there really ought to be a federal law enabling the states to demand that the feds round up fugitive lawmakers.

[giblets]

Why didn't they think of that sooner? Republicans sure are smart.

[DinoDoc]

They didn't count on Democrats being cowards.

[Hauldren Collider]

Yeah, they probably assumed that the democrats wouldn't break the law...

Another appeal to authority this time in the form of Einstein. Have you no butt you will not kiss?

You don't even know what appeal to authority means. I was directly mocking you for your desperate attempt to make KH's effective argument against me your own (well after the fact ), because you can't do it yourself. Look at the parroting below. The best part of it, is that it has nothing to do with what we've been talking about. You're just desperate for anything, even someone else's argument. But if you want an example of appeal to authority, you need only to look at your appeal to Daniel Okrent. Seriously, was it not obvious to you what you were doing?

But to the crux of the matter throughout this thread your questions belied a fundamental naivete and lack of understanding regarding the role of union and management relationships.

The concepts KH had to agonizingly describe to you, namely the rent seeking behavior and the monopolistic power the teachers unions have was painful (albeit schadenfreude does appeal in this case) to observe.

Good lord these assumptions don't rise themselves to the level of assuming the speed of light a constant, nor do the conclusions they ultimately lend themselves to.

Unlike yourself who demonstably showed cluelessness, these assumptions and outcomes haves been around for years and are well understood by anyone who has taken labor relations managment courses.

Hell, I may as well say that I was merely testing KH following your hindsight reasoning.

And the speed of light constant is obvious to anyone who has taken a course in freshman physics.

Actually no you indicated all people lie. For all we know you have elevated Krugs to demigod hood status given your full throated defense of him.

Yes, because that was the crux of the argument between Raj and I that you foolishly jumped into. You've been silent until now on KH's analysis.

And the choice of allusion was not marriage but moreover acting as fellatrix to anything Krugs spews.

Prove it, ******! You can't. My point is that it is all in your head. As I've said before, I laugh at you for that things that you actually do, while you insult me for the things you imagine I am doing.

[DaShi]

Ogie, you've got no leg to stand on. You came in here making ridiculously stupid remarks, got called on it and are now running around accusing people of irrelevant things. Just accept that you were thoroughly pwned and go back to sticking that rubber penis up your butt.
