  1. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/opinion/sunday/social-security-its-worse-than-you-think.html?_r=0 For the first time in more than a quarter-century, Social Security ran a deficit in 2010: It spent $49 billion dollars more in benefits than it received in revenues, and drew from its trust funds to cover the shortfall. Those funds — a $2.7 trillion buffer built in anticipation of retiring baby boomers — will be exhausted by 2033, the government currently projects.
  2. That certainly looks trustworthy, a chart with no explanation. I wonder how that figure was derived.
  3. http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/02/3d-printed-car/ When the funding comes in, the head engineer is planning to take the latest prototype from San Francisco to New York on 10 gallons of gas, preferably pure ethanol. The hope is that the drive will draw even more interest. “We’re trying to prove without dispute that we did this drive with existing traffic,” Kor says. “We’re hoping to make it in Google [Maps'] time, and we want to have the Guinness book of world records involved.” Yeah, it's a prototype and most prototypes never see production, and I'd hate to be stuck in this tiny thing for a drive from SF to NY, but the technology is fascinating.
  4. It would be sweet it Bill Hall took over 3B but we know how much Sosh loves his swarthy infielders. Hall is a little toooooo swarthy, if you get my drift.
  5. Agree. It's good and I think they have the best fries (which is why I always go protein-style on the burger) but it isn't that good.
  6. I'd like to know where you got that figure from.
  7. Thanks for the tip. (Calling my [imaginary] bookie to bet on the Giants)
  8. Man, somwhere in my blog (check it out at http://tin00can.wordpress.com/!) I wrote about how disgusting this type of thing is. Really, you should read my blog about it. I hate it when people do things like that just for publicity for their shitty blog book.
  9. I predict Callaspo reports to camp about 20 pounds overweight but loses the extra pounds in a few weeks.
  10. Get ready for the RINO-ing of Christie and watch his chances of running for president in 2016 vanish in a cloud of socialized healthcare haze.
  11. I don't get there very often, but World Curry in Pacific Beach (San Diego). I'm gonna make it back there this Friday for lunch. http://www.worldcurry.com/
  12. The president came up with the idea, Congress approved it. Now they're both spending the last few days trying to point the finger at the other guy instead of trying to avoid it. Then the cuts will kick in, and both sides will blame the other side. America. **** yeah.
  13. Heaven knows he's miserable now. Seriously, Morrissey has some of the best song titles, in a laughably mopey way. I can't understand why he appeals so much to Mexicans, unless it's something to do with repressed homosexuality.
  14. While that may have been a part of it, it was probably mostly economics. Fitch has some name recognition but he's never gonna contend for a belt, so he needs to go. Newer talent is cheaper.
  15. Just imagine if Hamilton and Trumbo hit back-to-back jacks today. That would be a Rusty Hamtrumboner.
  16. I predict we lose again today and FF starts another "predict Scioscia's postgame comments" thread in the 7th inning.
  17. Really now, haven't we all been Mike Trout at some point in our lives?
  18. He would be a good pickup for sure, but they need o-line help first. Doesn't matter who is running the ball if they can't open any holes.
  19. Richard Dawson was a total pimp back then, he owned the joint. There was an SNL skit with Alec Baldwin as Charles Nelson Reilly, can't find it but it was solid.
  20. Obligatory "her elbows are too sharp" comment.
  21. Pretty much all TV programming is unnecessary. Except for reruns of "Match Game" on GSN. That's totally necessary and everybody should watch it.
