    I’d hit it.

  3. PortlandMark says:

    Yeah, you have to go all the way back to Bush I to find a killer among our leaders. Or, possibly, Carter. Or, possibly, as far back as Kennedy.

    I’m happy with a leader who can utter a coherent sentence.

  12. Kn0wledge1ne says:

    Little off subject here but, I’ve been trying to get my LOLs to the voting area on this site. Anyone know how to do that? I have four of them now and I can only see them on my profile.

  13. bama_bin_lyin says:

    Can I haz health care nao?

    • Sqwirk says:

      Universal health care is communism.

      That’s why communist China doesn’t have it.

      • randman83 says:

        They just realized that with a population of over 2 billion, it would go under in about a month.

        • bama_bin_lyin says:

          WE could pay for it!! YES WE CAN!

        • Sqwirk says:

          The same reason America doesn’t have it?

          • PortlandMark says:

            So weird… all the other industrialized nations of the world have it… let’s see, what do we spend our money on that they don’t… hmm… Oh, is it “A military larger than the rest of the world’s combined forces”? Yeah, I think that must be it.

          • Sqwirk says:

            There are two billion people in China!!??

            • Sqwirk says:

              Apparently!

              • charro the Floydist says:

                Well, they’d better stay there, there’s no room here. I mean, there’s 2 billion of us (here in America)!

                • randman83 says:

                  Naw, with us, I’d be generous and say about 5 years.
                  :)

                  • nostromo says:

                    The five hundred pound gorilla in the corner in this health-care debate is that those countries with national coverage paid for by taxation dont ALSO piss away billions a year paying fat cat insurance companies to maybe or not pay for whatever ails you depending on their contractual small print. The point is that a system like that would be WAY cheaper than what you have currently…so explain why it would send you broke in 5 years?

                    • arimareiji says:

                      Because Democrats hate freedom and want the terrorists to win, that’s why.

                      (Yes, I know that’s the mother of all non sequiturs… it’s what reminded me of “the higher the fewer,” which I think in turn may have led to Shaq and his panda.)

                    • charro the Floydist says:

                      Shaq is holding a panda. Your argument is invalid.

                      I HATE FREEDOM!! DEATH TO FREEDOM!!!!

                    • arimareiji says:

                      I always wondered about that meme, a la Tom Tomorrow… so if we don’t go about our lives like normal, or go out and spend some money, or if celebrities don’t make appearances, etc, then the terrorists win? How will they know?

                      A cave, somewhere in Afghanistan:
                      “Damnit, Abdul, who could have anticipated the resolution and bravery of these Americans? Our spy cameras show that the malls are still full!”
                      “Have patience, Mohammed… see there, look? This image from Topeka shows that instead of buying a new car, today Randy Johnson decided to stay home and watch TV! You know what that means, right?”
                      “HURRAY, WE WIN!!!”

                    • randman83 says:

                      Reason being because with national care, I not only pay for my insurance, I pay for the insurance of 300 million other people. And when people have care they think is free (which it is not, since it’s just worked into taxes), they tend to go to doctors for frivolous things. “Oh no, I have a rash on my pinky, better go run up a bill for something insignificant.” People should go to doctors when they have a problem that actually requires higher medical knowledge. That’s what doctors go to college for 12 years for and get paid to do!

                      Now, I can understand wanting to reform healthcare. God knows that some people are paying way too much for it. But the solution is not to put people on a plan that includes 300 million people, especially when you are forced to pay for that plan, regardless of whether or not you are part of it (I have the PDF document of the bill on another tab, so feel free to confirm what I’m saying). The solution, or at least a step in the right direction, is to adress tort reform. In California, they passed tort reform legislation that caused health care costs to drop 40%. Now, I like the sound of that. In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, the most regulation that we need is rules set in place that set a price per service standard. That way, people can chose their coverage based on price and necessity. If someone cannot even afford that, well guess what, there’s medicade, which already bears a striking resemblance to the current health care bill. This customizable care is a feature not included anywhere in the 1018 pages of the bill. Neither is tort reform. If I am willing to pay a certain amount for my health care, I should get coverage that is deserving of what I pay. If I am on the gov plan, and I am not satisfied with the coverage, and I am willing to pay more for better quality, I should get to do what I do with any other insurance company; leave and find a better one. Additionally, If I AM satisfied with minimal coverage for low cost, there are plenty of companies that provide that service, as well. I have a friend whose dad is receiving chemotherapy for esophageal cancer at the moment, and his insurance company is local, has low costs, and is covering his entire course of treatment. So don’t tell me that all these insurance companies are evil corporate fat cats. There are many smaller ones who do their jobs wonderfully, but they will all be driven out and replaced by minimal, expensive, unreasonable government programs that put an additional strain on taxpayers, the 75% majority of whom are quite happy with the coverage they pay for currently.

                      I think the main point here is that if people want real reform, they should look to a more practical solution than going to the government. They can barely keep medicaid running, and that only covers 40 million people (according to the census bureau, and that was in 1998, so the #’s have gone up considerably since then). Can we honestly believe that they can adequately cover 300 million people without going totally down the tubes within the decade? the same government that bankrupted social security because the forgot how population fluctuates?

                      Then again, Shaq is holding a panda, so I guess my argument is invalid.

                    • charro the Floydist says:

                      Your argument is invalid, and I am too awesome to say why.

                    • randman83 says:

                      Dammit, charro, quit making me lol. this is super cereal! Take it super cerealsly!

                    • nostromo says:

                      Of course they can and could cover 300 million people adequately if some of the money..(I would say 50% ought to be enough…that is currently spent keeping health insurance execs in lavish salaries and maybe or maybe not used to treat peoples’ illness depending on which plan you signed up for…always assuming it isn’t for a pre-existing condition AND you can afford the co-payment) was instead used to run hospitals that treated whoever arrived at the triage desk and could establish their legal right to be resident in the United States. It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure out how much profit is skimmed off in the name of the company’s shreholders or used to pay salaries of people whose main function is to deny other people health care. Under a national scheme none of that exists…huge cost-saving.
                      It’s specious to say ‘oh I would be paying for 300 million others’…by the same token those other 300 million would also be paying for you…it’s irrelevant.

                    • nostromo says:

                      shaq’s panda wears soviet army boots…it is invalid.

                    • nostromo says:

                      I just got in from a long lunch so excuse the erratic parentheses in that post BTW…sorry.

                    • randman83 says:

                      Well, honestly, it sounds like the real issue is having honest people running the health insurance companies. I am aware of their lavish and highly undeserved lifestyles, but I still don’t see how the solution is to hand control over to the government. Who knows who we may elect 20 years from now? If we elect a total assbag, we are all going to get screwed on government healthcare, and have nowhere to turn. The most practical solution is still to set up a series of business standards where the market can maintain it’s diversity, thus keeping options available in case a company goes under, changes management, raises premiums, etc. For example, if a standard were to be in place that stated that for every x number of people insured for x amount on serious illnesses, a tax write off were given to the company, they would have more of an incentive to spend more on practical coverage and more money to do so with. Obviously, this is far from perfect, but you get the gist of what I’m saying. Don’t make profit reducing standards, but make some that offer incentive for providing cheaper, higher quality coverage. If the government takes over, we give them power that is nearly impossible to take back once actual economics do what they inevitably do, which is to slump. I like keeping my options available to me, not surrendering them to the biggest fat cats of them all.

                    • randman83 says:

                      Also, after reading the bill, I learned that the percent of increase to everybody’s taxes to pay for healthcare would be 2.5%. The GDP of last year was about 14 trillion $. Now, after doing a little number crunching of my own, I figured that each person’s coverage would add up to about 1166 2/3 $. Again, this was some quick calculations I did at 3:30 in the morning, but the overall picture isn’t looking too bright. I just really want you to not throw away your options for low quality coverage, because the numbers look pretty terrible from where I’m sitting. If you don’t believe me, here’s the link to the bill in my name. read it for yourself.

                    • randman83 says:

                      Oh, and the parentheses are no problem at all. I’m so tired, I went over my posts 5-6 times just to fix all the words where I accidentally omitted or deleted a letter or two.
                      :)

                    • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                      What you fail to realize randman, is that no matter who we elect… to someone, somewhere he’ll be an “assbag”

                    • charro the Floydist says:

                      Randman, while I like your ideas (and I’m further left than Karl Marx), leaving people who can’t afford it to pick up Medicaid is not a viable option, unless some rules are changed there as well. Not everyone who can’t afford/attain insurance qualifies for Medicaid. EVERYTHING needs to be reformed.

                      I can really only offer anecdotal evidence – when I was unemployed I could no loner afford COBRA, private insurance (which yes, I could have afforded – barely) refused to take me because of preexisting conditions and Medicaid refused me because I have no children, no disabilities and am not 65 (which I thought was weird but that’s what it is). So, I’ve been without healthcare since 3/2009, and I don’t get insurance with my new job for 1.5 more months.

                      In all honesty, I’m backing for national health care. A system like Canada or England or something. But if Left an Right could sit down and HONESTLY address EVERYTHING that is wrong with Health Care and we come up with a solution that provides coverage for EVERYONE regardless of income, preexisting conditions, etc., I don’t much care if it’s Socialist, Capitalist, whatever. It just needs to be done.

                      How is that for cereal? *munches Froot Loops*

                    • randman83 says:

                      Correction: At the beginning, it should say “who do not approve of his plan.” sorry…

                    • Randman, while I agree that we need to fix corruption first and foremost, I don’t believe all the de/regulation, incentives, laws, competition in the world will do that. I’m far too pessimistic for that.

                      Now I’m having pizza.

                    • randman83 says:

                      Now there’s something that I can agree with (the pizza, that is). Now, whether my stomach can accept it…

                    • Sheesh says:

                      Yet we have had rampant corrution and waste in the Medicare/medicaid system for the last 40 years and the government has done absolutely nothing to fix it.

                  • charro the Floydist says:

                    What?

          • There is! It’s just that the U.S. Census can’t find them because they are all trogladytes living underground in either Colorado or Vermont.

      No. GTFO.

    My real question- Why does he have an empty sheathe for his knife, and whose head did he leave the knife in?

  15. Steve-O says:

    putin isn’t the current leader of russia…..medvedev is….

  16. explant says:

    Interesting that Putin always wears a cross, given to him by his mother:

      “the cross represents what i will nail journalists to if they criticize me…”

    What I love is the look on his face, like “Who, me? You want a picture of me? Okm if you must…..”

  18. froofrou the Barenaked Lady says:

    Shouldn’t he be rolling around on the ground, clutching the cross that’s on his neck and screaming “IT BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRNNNNNZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!” ? I mean, this is Vlad we’re talking about…

  19. Breenlolz says:

    People use to say, “Oh all these wars around the world it’s so sad. What they should do is just get all the world’s leaders and put them in a room and let them fight each other.”

    The problem is, Russia would rule the world.

  20. angie says:

    eeewww this is not robson green doing extereme fishing bugger off vlad and do something else

  21. Happy Vladurday, everyone! I’m off to do non-interwebz stuff and possibly make my first million. I’ll post the results later and if I’m successful, I’ll share it fairly with all Floydists.

  22. angie says:

    ok E,T,F you go and get on with it

  23. nostromo says:

    I have a feeling Putin has turned the page on his political career in Russia and is aspiring to be the next Chuck Norris.

  24. lowly grunt says:

    Must be cold where he is. (o)(o)

  25. the real stig says:

    simply not bad ass

  26. Pookitchdukaloopzobomnikota says:

    Blessed be the day when I can go on pundit kitchen and not have to see Putin’s moobs.

  27. David says:

    yes, quite probably americans.

  28. Heather says:

    Um, and this is a good thing, that he killed people for the KGB? Wow… you people really need to learn a thing or two about what the KGB actually did and why… That’s just sad and pathetic that anyone these days actually thinks it’s cool that someone like Putin killed for the KGB, or ever did anything for the KGB!

  29. keithybabes says:

    Anybody? Is this still a LOL site?

  30. Dominique says:

    Wow, you people should also learn a little about secret services of your own damn country, before going off at KGB. CIA is responsible for MANY more deaths than KGB. CIA created the movement that not much later became knowned as Al-Qaeda, e.g.

  31. Teacher says:

    Idiots, he didn’t do any field job when he was in KGB. And 10 years before his presidential term, he was an employee of the mayor office in my city. My dad personally knew him at that time, and spoke of him as of cold, pragmatic, but reasonable and fair person. So I’m pretty sure he didn’t kill anybody. At least personally)
