Colin Powell for Sec Def? - znufrii Oct 20, 06:19 29
- Never happen. Clark maybe? -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 06:49 1
  - Maybe. Though there are some who think that Gates should be asked to stay. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 06:51
- not in a million years. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 06:33
- Actually, I think the best pick, would be...John McCain. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 20, 06:27 13
  - not in two million years. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 07:04
  - So for 8 months, the Dems would impugne McCain's military ideas; then say he's the best for the job? - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:43 6
    - congratulations, your holiness. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:49
    - I'm just glad someone came up with a worse idea than I did... :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:47 1
      - Let's not go overboard. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 06:56
    - I'm sure by then McCain will give up on his 100 years war idea -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 20, 06:45 2
      - He never had a 100 year war idea. -- nm - Inigo Oct 20, 06:52 1
        
        this is true. - znufrii Oct 20, 06:54
  - You have been watching too much West Wing -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 06:37
  - what are you smoking, and why aren't you sharing? -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:30 2
    - No, it makes sense, McCain's biggest desire is to do right by servicemen and women...it would show a willingness to listen to the GOP - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 20, 06:34 1
      - Are McCain's ideas on defence policy similar enough to Obama's that he'd accept? -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 06:36
  - Yikes. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 06:29
- I doubt he'd take it. He sounds like he's retiring. -- nm - Inigo Oct 20, 06:22
- No. Big endorsement though. That might have clinched it. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 06:21 1
  - Yes. Incredible endorsement, and he went much farther than he had to, esp. crucifying the right over the "Muslim" issue -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:22
- Well, god knows, he'll roll over for anyone with any clout behind them. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:20 8
  - Obama could use the expertise, and Powell could use the chance at redemption -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:20 7
    - There are other people in the Democratic Party who don't have the 2002 war press conference on their resume - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:23 6
      - I have also heard Chuck Hagel's name floated around -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 06:52
      - Sam Nunn, then? -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:25 4
        
        That's one name. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:26 3
        
        I find the narrative that he was the sole voice of reason in the Bush administration regarding Iraq and was put in an impossible situation to be very - znufrii Oct 20, 06:34 2
        
        I find the narrative that he allowed himself as the 3rd guy in the Administration to be played like a puppet to be more compelling. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:41
        
        I don't think the SecDef should be appointed because of their narrative. - Roger More Oct 20, 06:40
Hi -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 06:19
I know it's too early--but I'm getting all excited about Christmas. -- nm - Amy Oct 20, 06:17 9
- bloody australia has christmas decorations up already. have had for weeks in some places. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:19 8
  - Australia doesn't have any pre-Christmas celebrations like Hallowe'en or Thanksgiving so they get started early -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 06:24 7
    - yeah, that's what I figured. it's still a little disconcerting. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:41 3
      - Christmas in the middle of summer is even weirder. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 20, 06:49 2
        
        but it's beach christmas! I love beach christmas. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:54
        
        But that's great because then you can have two Christmases, Christmas with crayfish and prawns, and Christmas in July with turkey and stuffing - Roger More Oct 20, 06:52
    - No Halloween? That's just wrong! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 20, 06:35 2
      - it seems to be slowly creeping in. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:41 1
        
        Yeah, it wasn't celebrated at all when I was a kid (neither was Valentine's Day) but by the time I was an adult I'd see stuff in stores - Roger More Oct 20, 06:54
so tt lawyers, so lets say a person is going through a divorce - truman Oct 20, 06:16 7
- this party might wait until later to claim said money, just to be safe. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 06:19 6
  - tis what I was thinking. now if I could just win some money. -- nm - truman Oct 20, 06:24 3
    - Give the pieces to someone you trust and have them claim the money. -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 06:27 2
      - i didn't win anything, I was just curious. -- nm - truman Oct 20, 06:35
      - probably better to just wait -- nm - decline Oct 20, 06:29
  - agreed -- nm - decline Oct 20, 06:20
  - word, mate. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 06:19
i have a mac question - someone has sent me an excel file from a PC. but for some reason the extension is showing up as - Andie Oct 20, 06:15 7
- It might be from office 2007 Their extentions now have x's at the end -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 06:22 1
  - which you can turn off, and have them saved as regular .doc or .xls files if you know the recipient doesn't have Office 2007 -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:41
- its the newest version of Excel - you need a converter -- nm - decline Oct 20, 06:16 4
  - there is an windows converter you can get from microsoft, but for mac I found - decline Oct 20, 06:19 3
    - I think this is supposed to work (link inside) - Guigue Oct 20, 06:24 2
      - thanks. -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 06:29
      - Or get open office. -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 06:26

- The important question....why the hell did this topic come up...in a strip club? What course do you chart ot get the stripper to talk DS9 vs B5? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:12 6
  - I don't know but I want to find out. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 06:14 5
    - I just think honestly, there's no rationale way it comes up organically, so most likely you had guys in a strip club talking sci-fi tv shows. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:15 4
      - I was thinking about this myself and i don't honestly know. - Reagen Oct 20, 06:58 2
        
        Did you ever find out where the bruises were from? - Will Hunting Oct 20, 07:00 1
        
        oh, they're all from paintball so far as I know - Reagen Oct 20, 07:03
      - maybe it was part of her act. -- nm - truman Oct 20, 06:23
- B5 is correct. It's the one. -- nm - Amy Oct 20, 06:12 1
  - Spawn is a lucky man. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 06:13

  - And I agree with you on B2 about getting our guys. - Jim Oct 20, 06:12 4
    - Are you playing me? Don't concede nothing. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:14 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Figures, I'm going for the #1 pick in a year there's no good players coming. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:16 1
