Mayor of Detroit uses unassailabled logic in denying the city is under Sharia law: We have three strip clubs. -- (link) - mara Apr 21, 15:11 4
- Dearborn. And Gingrich is an idiot (like that wasn't clear). - Reagen Apr 21, 15:16 3
  - thats a rhetorical question right? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 15:19
  - Oh, duh, yes, Dearborn. Skimming + relying on poor memory = duh. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 15:19 1
    - Detroit, as we all know, is ruled by Thunderdome Law. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 15:21
adding the vinegar to the PAAS egg dye tablet works best. just saying. lemon juice is good. plain water sucks -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 15:09

- if it helps -- nm - IPCC s.i. Apr 21, 15:07

- I think we all agree that this post turns disappointing after the sixth word -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 15:04
- of course. -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 15:02 1
  - i didnt think st would differ from this. - tRuMAN Apr 21, 15:04
Wow! WTF, Canada? -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 14:56 5
- Maybe he shouldn't have gotten into a fight with them? -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 15:08 1
  - The 'physical fracas/breaking their sunglasses' thing seemed entirely unnecessary and completely actionable. - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 15:15 [youtube]
- You know? This is an issue I wish hit the election campaign as well. Like to hear the leaders' thoughts on it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:58 2
  - HARPER!!! YOU'RE A RAT FACE! -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 15:05
  - I don't even care enough to hear my own thoughts on it, let alone theirs. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 15:01
STIS: Do you think that typically there are more ER beds or more ICU beds in a hospital? - loosilu Apr 21, 14:55 5
- we have slightly more ICU rooms (about 50 to 40), but in our ER if we get more patients than we have rooms/beds we bring in more in the halls to - dogbert Apr 21, 15:19
- I would think more ER beds -- nm - peglegpete Apr 21, 15:03
- Darn, I was hoping the AHA Guide would give me an idea, but it just gives total beds. This Yahoo answer rings true to me (answer: it varies). -- (link) - mara Apr 21, 15:02
- i think it depends on the hospital -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 21, 14:58 1
  - yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I'm making up the numbers, but I just hope they are reasonable. - loosilu Apr 21, 14:59

EKOS seat projection: Con:134 Lib:82 NDP:60 BQ:32 -- (link) - Reagen Apr 21, 14:46 22
- I love that the Toronto Star has not posted anything about either poll as both hurth their blind support of the Liberals. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 14:54
- I would warn against the Ekos seat-projector. For example, their NDP numbers in Manitoba and Quebec are way too high. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:51
- Its mentions that the NDP and Liberals are polling similar numbers too.....Iggy will be stepping down as leader on election night.... - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 14:49 7
  - Look at their platforms? They are 100% targetting the same voters this election and had they not split on the populism of the Green Shift,... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:54 6
    - I dont think its the leader as much as policy oriented....since the end of Chretien, they have not really had any good policies.... - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 14:59
    - I just can't believe they'd be dumb enough to hand it over to Rae. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:56 4
      - They've gone Martin to Dion to Ignatieff to.... Why is Rae an outlier? - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 15:15 3
        
        Because he'd be particularly toxic in Ontario. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 15:18 1
        
        seeing as many still think of him as NDP -- nm - zork Apr 21, 15:23
        
        ....Is to appoint an interm leader, then have a looooong leadership. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 15:17
- That's a left wing minority gov't right there, with no help from the Bloc. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 14:49 4
  - Liberals are 50 seats behind first and you want them to lead a government? -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 14:51
  - except if the BQ doesn't support them they don't have the confidence of the House. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:50 2
    - (The dreaded "double hung Parliament") -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:51 1
      - *reflex mouth lunge* -- nm - Megan Fox Apr 21, 15:06
- Are there sites that display how individual ridings are polling? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 14:46 6
  - Very few pollsters that release their results publically narrow it down to individual polls. Almost all that polling is done as party research. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:48 4
    - Did you know that Jim Pankiw is running again as an independant? -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:49 3
      - I did not! Which riding? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:51 2
        
        same as before, Sask-Humboldt - Reagen Apr 21, 14:54 1

  - almost certainly not. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:48
The poll I mentioned on B2 is Ipsos for Global: CPC 43%, NDP 24%, Lib 21%. Predicts a CPC majority. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:44 2
- *tries to remember what Global/Shaw's bias leans to* ... headquartered in Calgary ... hmm -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 14:45 1
  - Ipsos does typically poll the Tories & NDP a shade high. But that's from Ipsos, not Shaw/Global. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 14:47
Vermin, thanks for that link to KARMIN on YouTube. They're great. She's gorgeous. And, yeah, damn! -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 14:42 1

after seeing JackDawson's post on B3, i guess it's true. Penny on Happy Endings really is my big gay husband. - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 14:40 2
- I didn't realize how much I'd missed her after she got booted from SNL. - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 14:43 1
  - I didn't realize it was Cuthbert until the credits. She's at least not as bad as on "24". -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 14:48
Bryan Singer admits there were problems with Superman Returns. No kidding there was a problem. Superman was in it. -- nm - GD Batman Apr 21, 14:28

  - and Ukraine is mighty happe the rest of the world could atleast give them 1/2 bill last monday to cover some of the cost of a new contaiment - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 14:28
- funny, the same can be said about aircraft crashes -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 14:12 7
  - not really. there are plane crashes where the equipment just malfunctioned. -- nm - Andie Apr 21, 14:26 5
    - Yup, equipment malfunction is the only other thing i can think of. Although, ultimately, that's human error. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 14:36 4
      - that's like saying that the cause of every death is loss of oxygen to the brain. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 14:40
      - birds -- nm - dogbert Apr 21, 14:39 1
        
        Weird little men on the wing. - J.Lithgow Apr 21, 14:44
      - I know when my equipment malfunctions, I'm very embarrased -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 14:37

Speaking of Justified, I just got a copy of The Crazies. The wife doesn't like scary movies. However... - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 13:47 8
- I'd give Carriers a stronger recommendation. -- nm - Max Apr 21, 14:21
- I don't like horror movies much but thought The Crazies was good. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 21, 14:03
- it's solid. It's scary without being Uber Gory (though there are some moments though).... - Remlik Apr 21, 13:54 1
  - though I would recommend The Girl Next Door 1st. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 13:55
- fanastic cinematography, if you care about that kind of thing. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 13:54
- definitely worth it. with some of the shit that comes out nowadays, The Crazies was solid. -- nm - Jovian Apr 21, 13:53
- I thought it was decent. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 13:51
