“In reality it is only marginally about "religious hazards" or whatever that means. I think it's more about losing parking spaces.”

squatch replied on Dec 09, 2009 at 09:51:39

“the parking is still there. if the faith of these people is shaken by the sight of a couple if chicks in spandex, then perhaps their lack of faith is the issue, not the bikers.

you can still bike down bedford ave all you want - it's the easiest way to the williamsburg bridge - but the lack of bike lanes just makes it more dangerous.

this petty behavior is unfortunately typical of how things operate in that particular neighborhood.”

“First, it should be noted that this episode is about a year old or more. I watched it with my son a while back. It reminded me how completely awesome Sesame Street can be. Is Breitbart just getting wind of it? Will he next be complaining about the Buffy Sainte-Marie episode on breast-feeding that aired in the 70s?

Secondly, the MSM gets there's too in this episode. Anderson Cooper is a guest and interviews "Dan I'd-Rather-Not" and "Walter Crank-ite" in a brilliant bit. Like I said, completely awesome.”

What a ridiculously empty threat. Of course you will have old Orly on again. Reality TV has proven that train wrecks like this make good TV.

“As much as I hate the credit card industry and their duplicitous practices, this has got to be one of the more moronic acts of defiance I've heard of.

1. Just shift your balance to a low-interest card.
2. Use the savings (that's getting, what, 1% interest) to pay off the bulk of the debt.

If you really want to stick it to the credit industry, carry no debt.”

dawlishgal replied on Sep 14, 2009 at 13:51:05

“I think somebody must have good credit ratings to switch and put the balance elsewhere., and even that is fraught with peril.

My sister did ....she had an absolutely sterling credit rating, and switched to the one that brags about low rates...the one with the Huns. She paid faithfully, but they still claimed her payment was late (and she had mailed it 6 days before the due date), and they slammed with a huge increase in her interest rate, and probably stuck their knife into her perfect credit rating.

Ten years after we moved from CT, the city we lived in tried to charge us several thousand dollars for property tax and huge penalties on our car.. Nevermind that we sold the house and never renewed the plates. They threatened to "ruin your credit rating" if we didn't pay. We were able to prove that we hadn't lived there and they dropped the claim, but I'll bet our credit rating took a big hit. There seem to be no regulations on collection agencies, and no vetting of claims against people....just a lot of threats and attempts to scare people into paying money that they don't even owe.

The little guy, as I said above, has no power anymore to make things fair. This is the Republican free-market in operation, and the Blue Dog wannabee Republicans who take big money from crooked corporations aren't any better.”

“Now there's a more progressive outlook on the problem! But it's not going to happen overnight because Americans have been conditioned into carrying huge credit card debt. The American system really does depend on it. In fairness though, to people who don't buy junk such as this bimbo has lined up behind her, some are forced into credit card debt because of the huge and growing income inequality in the U.S.

Obama knows very well what the problem really is but he needs to approach the problem step by step. He's doing that and that's what make him such a threat to the American way which has been shoved down people's throats by the rightist attitudes of their government.

You appear to recognize the problem and so I suspect that you can't be a 'good' American? Sounds un-american to me!”

“Or carry 0% interest debt.

Still, this idea would only work if she has other cards she can juggle the balance with.”

“The point is that regardless of what any one of us "would like to see" -- you don't change the rules of order in the Legislature by shouting out at or heckling the leader of the free world during a joint session of Congress and a worldwide broadcast. You do it by *changing the rules*, beforehand. I don't like speed limits, but when I speed, I still get a ticket regardless of whether I tell the cop, "Well I'd like to see speed limits done away with".”
