Up for debate: The State Fair
Monday, February 11, 2013 at 4:48pm
The Tennessee State Fair is the subject of wrangling between Metro and the state. The newly appointed state board has told the Metro Fair Board that it must offer a lease to the state's appointed non-profit. The Metro board has asked for more money. Who's right?

Loner, I'm betting the Canadian guy gets the job. Others think differently.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/02/11/1186373/-Top-5-Candidates-for-New-Pope#
Slack, I voted for Carlin...58% did...Father Guido Sarducci must be up there in age...he's Pope material...no?
slacker, isn't the guy from Ghana and the guy from Argentina also in the running?
I'd like to see a cross-dressing black guy from central Africa as Pope...to add hybrid vigor to the papacy....and some style....Djembe drum circles...the Cardinals pounding out a Voodoo beat around a campfire each night.....cool.
A new Congressional Budget Office report out last week has the healthcare world scratching its head over the possibility that Obamacare might—in part—be responsible for what is being described as a significant slowdown in the growth of healthcare costs in America.
According to the report, hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending for Medicare and Medicaid are being removed from government projections as federal healthcare spending is now expected to be full 15 percent less than what had been initially budgeted for 2012. The surprisingly low spending projections come as the growth in healthcare spending has hit a new low for the fourth consecutive year.

Yay for Obamacare!
nazi, the latest odds.

Loner, I would love to see that guy become Pope. I bet that would turn things on its ear! Or if the Pope spoke Spanish and was from Latin America. Hmmmm....
Wow, slacker!
Footballs over.. must gamble.
Pope Leroy I
Too much?
Check out his royal majesty....look at those eyes....yeah, time to retire....creepy, or what?

Pope Marsellus Wallace
lol
I always thought he looked creepy, Loner.
Rumor has it.. he's actually retiring to attend the Tennessee State Fair.
Unable to confirm...
Of course, the Australian Cardinal, Cardinal Dundee, is always the under-dog; but do not count the down-under cleric out...he can take a knife to a gunfight and come out on top every time...if elected Pope, he'll take the name Pope Gladius the First.
slacker, that means he's going to the dark side.....the fair is foul and foul is the fair.
Can't we get an Irish Pope? Just in time for St. Patty's Day?
Pope Mad Maximus? Has a Pope-mobile made out of old military vehicles cobbled together...with nitrous, of course.
The NY cardinal is in the running. A son of the old sod.
Bn....the fair is fowl and fowl is the fair.
Loner, that's a bunch of chickensh!t.
I'm still for Mel Gibson, but the Canadian guy will get it.
The state fair is special this year.. Katy Perry is entering her breasts...
What about the cardinal from S. Korea? It'd be cool to have a Pope Cheong.
Or Pope Kia.. don't you sin until you see me...
Nice one, slacker. :)
The NY Cardinal is in cahoots with Chief Rabbi in J'lem, Slack...the image of Th. Herzl, the father of Zionism, will be venerated on stained glass windows in the Catholic churches...here's Herzl:

Looks just like the stained glass images of the other Gospel writers.
BTW, anti-Zionism is considered to be anti-Semitism by the Catholic church...some sort of sin....so, Herzl's manifesto, Der Judenstaat is now considered to be Gospel. I am not making that up; check it out here:
http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/relations-jews-docs/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_20040708_declaration-buenos-aires_en.html
Snippet:
"We draw encouragement from the fruits of our collective strivings which include the recognition of the unique and unbroken covenantal relationship between God and the Jewish People and the total rejection of anti-Semitism in all its forms, including anti-Zionism as a more recent manifestation of anti-Semitism. "
I'd love to see ya in a Kia
-Pope Kia to alter boys
Yeah, I know...self-imposed timeout...
True Loner.. but you must hear him sing.. ''Danny Boy'' sniff..
A Holy Gibson? Yo!
Concerning the ruffled plumage, between Metro and the state, caused by the State Fair competition, I suspect fowl play...we need a Blue-ribbon Panel, to judge these head-nodding strutting, clucking, crowing, prize-winning birds....I'm not much help on this issue...I'm into political science, not poultry science.
When this fair business finally skakes out, somebody's gonna have egg on their face.
Yeah, when the NY Cardinal croons....we New Yorkers do get a wee bit misty....seems like a Cardinal from the Empire State ought to rule in Rome...after all, we have a city called, Rome, NY....that should count for a lot.
....and the cherubic, pre-pubescent, altar boys singing..."Tura Lura Lurid"....not a dry eye in the house, Slack.
For you Loner.

2nd place goes to Slacker with the Mel Gibson suggestion
1st to Loner's Pope Mad Maximus -- very nice
Ben.. I should at least win a toaster for second.. no?
Oh... take heart that loner is only standing on your strong shoulders there, slack.
Only a few might have egg on their face on the fair situation when it is [shaken out], Loner, but all of y'all will have egg on your face when Obama (if that's his name) is "shaken" out.
Remember yogi you are dumbest of all.
yogi, you've had egg on your face for over 4 years but you are too dumb to recognize it. The Tea Party is a sham that was set up by tobacco companies and billionaires. Every time you click on one of their websites they get paid by the advertisers on their site. I'm sure you click on those sites like an over caffeinated maniac and they're laughing all the way to the bank.
It only takes a feeble mind to think as you do, dumba$$. And you're number 1 in that regard.
But I'm sure that can't make it's way to the not-too-bright-to-begin-with half brain that you have and if it did it would break that tiny little thing (no, not the penis) you call a heart.
It was you that said that I was smarter, yogi. Are you too stupid to remember that?
It must be recycled egg on yogi's face Blanket. He has his head up his ass. ;-)
Blanket he is so easy to get confused as to where he stands in the world.
Scrambled eggs, yogi style.
LOL
Why...I'm speechless....thank you, Ben Dover for the accolades...as you say, I stand on the broad shoulders of the Slack One...I'm getting all misty, now.....I thank the nuns too, they taught me the value of schtick....Sister Mary Ludificor was the best....a true master of buffoonery.....and a hell of a wordsmith too.
