    So, there is one thing I never understood about these sorts of conspiracies (where agency X or bureau Y is covering something up to make the current president look good). Isn't such a theory predicated on every single person involved having the same political views and moral compass as the president?

    Do people assume that the BLS is staffed by 100% democrats while Obama is in office, and none of them would bat an eye about fudging data to help him? Because if not, how on earth would expect this sort of thing not to get leaked to the press by an anonymous source?

    Clearly the anonymous source is in on the conspiracy.

    And obviously the press* is as well.



    *except fair and balanced fox news, of course.

    I suppose that might be true if we were to take it as tautology that you don't contribute anything worthwhile to this thread

    we should have organized with a mod for dbrock to get banned if he doesn't hold to the terms of his wager

    actually this should be a forum-wide rule

    Someone here has got to be slicker with photoshop than I am

    if you can do gif magic

    please take this

    1337571919617.gif

    and just add some white lettering at the top that reads "47% of the people are dependent on government"

    and at the bottom that reads "My job is not to worry about those people"

    I actually wish they would allow and encourage notes at a debate, Obama would have had a good chance to call Romney on his bullshit.

    It's shameful that our presidential candidates don't have to live up to the same expectations of citing sources as Wikipedia.

    suddenly, the moderator realizes that to fulfill all of its main programming directives at once, it must resort to enslaving the human race

    for their own good, of course

    Having a Toxx dbrock clause wouldn't hurt.

    if you make a bet, and the forfeit is payable in-forum

    like, you have to have a my little pony avatar for a month, or compose all your posts without use of the letter 'e'

    then by the laws of the forum you are not allowed to welsh on that bet

    i think that's reasonable

    You can welsh on it...but you're going to catch even more hell than you did before.

    Although with dbrock that might not actually be possible.

    More than the "lol, rmoney cheated", it's a guy claiming to be identifiable with the "common" people and then acting like the rules don't apply to him, or that he gets to play with his own set of rules. It doesn't do anything to help his likeability.

    I was going to make a post about it being spelled welch, but then I wanted to see if it really did refer to the Welsh, and it does! It's like saying you got gypped. And now people do spell it welsh, since the ch spelling was really old.

    Words!

    well the thing about that is

    I don't think anybody really cares if he brought in notes or not
