They don't. But if you lie, you'll end up having to back-pay the difference.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Which one would think is a pretty shitty disincentive to lie.

Here in NYC area, I hear ads on the car radio where some guy laments that he can't get a job with insurance fraud on his record.  :)

Please, Baldrick, you're going to be an MP. I'll just put fraud and sexual deviancy.

I give Obama a B in foreign policy, a C in domestic.

In the end, he held us together during a massive, world-wide recession, he openly supports legal rights for all, and his healthcare reform puts us on the right footing for safe, affordable healthcare for everyone.

Held us together? I'm not sure we were in danger of a civil war...and hard to say that partisan strife is at a low end. So, care to explain? :D

I think she means economically.

:yes:

As I stated earlier in the post, I think his policy did a lot to keep us from tanking along with a number of other countries, which arguably kept the economy stronger across the board than it could have been.

In other words, he didn't pull a Hoover. ;)

Interesting. 77% of Languish give Obama a passing grade.

You'd never guess that based on some of the comments made against him. :D

Most of those "some comments" belong to a small but dedicated handful of true believers.

What kind of comments do you think a C average should generate?

I was actually surpised about how poorly Obama is doing. After all, over 2/3 of the forum apparently consider him to be mediocre at best.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

C, but considering both his opponents seemed hellbent on getting Fs, that's not so bad.

Whoa, did I change my signature yesterday?
