Which one? Desi or Ana? Desi I would say yes because she makes me think, if you are talking about Ana I would say no because she says obvious shit that makes me go uhh well fucking duh.
Why can’t we just synthesize natural gas from landfills like they do in the UK?
In general, Ana seems to be the “pretty female face” on the show. This Desi Doyen is AWESOME. If they want a pretty girl Cara Santa Maria is GORGEOUS and actually seems to make some good points.
“Oh you think she’s smart? WELL SHE’S NOT!!!” –You, 2012
He just stunted on him heavy
damn she’s smart … and i understand what she is saying …
Block Koch 2012!
We never got on the Pickens Plan….. :/
Nuclear
Ana doesn’t belong on this show. Cenk knows it. You can see it on his face every now and again.
Did you see this one?

Ana has never impressed me on any topic. She says things either that are obvious or that are obviously wrong. Has she ever made you think in a more nuanced way about a topic or expanded the scope of your perspective?
An exception, of course, is her Kim Kardashian coverage. She definitely knows way more about Kim Kardashian than I do.
I think tee protests too much. When ever a liberal cannot argue with facts the ad hominem attackas come out and it becomes an emotional issue. Last I knew Jackass was not cursing. Still… by your commentary which lacks any substance and does not even attempt to refute my facts in any mannor … jackass suits you !
Wow! You’re too angry in defense of people who don’t care about you. There’s a difference between stating your opinion and personally attacking anyone who doesn’t agree with you. You need a psychiatrist. Accept the medication. That was personal attack. Did you like it. I’ll leave the cursing to you. It suits you.
My point is that they’re selling a toxic food product that’s linked to all kinds of health problems. Who cares is apples have cyanide (it’s not cyanide, it’s arsenic), it’s not in any way dangerous to you. Soda IS. And smoking isn’t a good example, because if you research their history, you’ll find that they lied and justified their profiteering for so fucking long. They are straight evil.
I do pay taxes . I would wager more than you make. I own a telco consulting company and taxes and other business regulations in my state are preventing me from hiring anyone else. I’m sure your answer would be to pay myself less but business does not work that way. Funny how others can spend my money better than I . Interesting is it not ?
Here is a guy (melvin here) who probably pays taxes technically but gets a full refund at the end of the year and believes whom he perceives as rich should subsidize his life style. He does not even understand economics of business yet he complains about tax rate and completely ignores my statement. Argue my points if you can :-)
It is a corporation jackass ! They do not pay the same as personal income tax. If you had capital gains via stocks , CDs whatever you would pay less capital gains taxes (the same as Romney) The economy would shut down if we charged companies 30% . Did you ever take an economics course ? I run a business . Trust me I know . Uh only 50% pay taxes. You may pay taxes but at the end of the year I would bet you get a full refund and then some. Your entitlement attitude is showing :-)
Of course, I do. The fact that you asked must mean that you don’t and are projecting.
No. Let me know when they pay 27.9% of their actually earned income (does not include the free welfare money that the 99% of Americans are forced to give them) in taxes, like the rest of the 99% do.
Guess what .. apple seeds have cyanide. lead paint is poisonous if you are stupid enough to eat it. volcanoes pollute more than we humans have .x-rays can be harmful in large doses. gamma radiation is dangerous if not controlled. alcohol can kill you smoking can kill you. what is your point mistletoe is poisonous. OFF bug spray can be harmful. oil can cause severe burns when cooking. water heaters can explode. lawn mowers pollute more than cars. what’s your point?
In 2011 Exon made $5 billion after income taxes and spend $11 billion in capital investments and exploration. Do the math . is a 17.2 tax rate (this is a corporation not an individual ) enough ?
You have to love hearing liberals whine :-) Volcanic explosions release massive amounts of CO2, SO2 and other compounds into the air. This has been going on since the earth was “born.” It is likely that if there were no volcanic eruptions in the past 100 years global warming would be so slow in proceeding that it would be negligible.
do you even PAY taxes ? LMAO
