  - It's like a slower version of ST, but it's a great way to keep up with people you might not otherwise. -- nm - David Dec 29, 12:35 1
    - But they just seem to be sort of random, one sentence thoughts. - pmb Dec 29, 12:39

      - Caroline graduated from Columbia Law School. Sarah finished her communications degree at Univ. of Idaho after trying out four other schools - pigby Dec 29, 12:31 8

        Kennedys have paid their way into any school they wanted for years. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 12:32 2
        
        i guess she paid to make top 10% of her class too -- nm - pigby Dec 29, 12:34 1

        my guess is that she is in the running for hillary's senate seat. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:27
- hardly a joke or utterly unqualified. but there are plenty of people ahead of her on any list of candidates -- nm - pigby Dec 29, 12:20
- that recent quote doesn't help things, that's for sure. - Mel Profit Dec 29, 12:20 8
  - what quote? -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 12:21 7
    - ""I'm really coming into this as somebody who isn't, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:28 1
      - Still though, I don't dislike her. -- (link) - Loyola Dec 29, 12:29 [youtube]

        I'm telling you the biggest political of this generation will be... - Mel Profit Dec 29, 12:34
- It's not like she's running for vice president or anything. -- nm - Jim Dec 29, 12:19
- [deleted]
- sure, but that didnt disqualify probably 1/2 of the american congressmen, and president, from getting the job. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:19 10
  - Actually, I disagree. Hasn't she yet to hold a full time job of any kind? Can you really point to any other congressman with the same record? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 29, 12:21 6
    - Senator Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) was appointed by her father the governor - sgtmike Dec 29, 12:35
    - off the top of my head? no, but I am 100% sure that there have been congressmen - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:23 4
      - I'll concede a few. But only a few. - Dr.Vermin Dec 29, 12:24 1
        
        no it doesnt, but politics only requires money, not actual experience at anything - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:25
      - other Kennedys for instance. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 12:24 1
        
        most likely, but there are going to be examples found in both parties. - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:24

    - There was a jar of peanut butter in our yard once. WTF? -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 29, 12:21
    - could be. or, how long have you been in the house? maybe it was buried or something. -- nm - kare Dec 29, 12:08 5

        when you say meat on it, do you mean meat or tendon? tendon could last that long. - loosilu Dec 29, 12:12 3
        
        There was stuff around the bone, frozen, not like a drumstick, but meatish -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 12:19 2
