PSA: Bradley Whitford on In Plain Sight. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 19:34
I'm watching 60min and thinking this all looks so familiar, why yes, it looks like the West Wing -- nm - zeitgeist May 8, 19:34
So are people who are born by Caesarian section eligible to be president of the United States? -- nm - Dano May 8, 19:33 2
- and those who don't believe that are Vagisillies? -- nm - zeitgeist May 8, 19:35
- If not, Connor will just have to seize power by force! -- nm - Stephen May 8, 19:35
TAR spoiler comments - i'm not dead yet ! May 8, 19:27
get your goaltending tight, sharkies -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 19:22
POLL: what constitutional admendment would/should be proposed and of course passed - zeitgeist May 8, 19:14 8
- No lobbyists. One time terms. 3 x minimum wage salaries. -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 19:46 1
  - term limits suck, california has some serious issues cause 2/3rds of the positions are held by amatuers who don't have a clue what they are doing, - zeitgeist May 8, 19:48
- I would like an amendment guaranteeing my right to party. Cause I'm tired of fighting for it. nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 19:16 5
  - Obviously you take this 'party'ing much too seriously because we already have a constitutional right to pursue happiness, so, if you would just relax - zeitgeist May 8, 19:31
  - I concur with the gentle lady from the southern hemisphere. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 8, 19:27
  - have we even seen your long-form party certificate? it raises troubling questions in my mind that it hasn't been made public yet -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 19:19 2
    - Last I saw it, it reeked of stale Schlitz and the pages were stuck together with some unnamed substance. nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 19:24 1
      - an obvious photoshop job -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 19:25
Somewhat related to birthers. Would you support a Constitutional amendment to remove the "natural born" citizen requirement for President? -- nm - Dano May 8, 18:45 41
- No. It's a good deal -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 19:47
- Don't see a point. Would oppose it if we were bringing it in up here. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 8, 19:14 1
  - A point to the requirement that is. Not to removing it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 8, 19:15
- If we do ever try to change it though, I want it to be on principle and not for a specific person or situation. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 19:11 1
  - This is my thing. I think it would *always* be for a specific person. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 19:15
- nah -- nm - Jovian May 8, 19:01
- Unsure. Thinking no? But I have no good reason. Natural Born Citizen does need to be *defined* however. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 18:57 4
  - I think it's been defined. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:58 3
    - I have not read this whole thing, as it's obscenely long, but just browsing shows there are open questions -- (link) - ty97 May 8, 19:02 2
      - Thanks for this. I didn't know. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 19:03 1
        
        I was surprised to learn about it during birther 2.0 as well. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 19:06
- I don't know that I'd oppose it, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to push it. -- nm - Ender May 8, 18:52 1
  - This. nm - ralph wiggum May 8, 19:05
- I am much more concerned about this "corporations are "people" with political free speach rights' thing -- nm - zeitgeist May 8, 18:51 2
  - Especially when they can quash the free speech of their employees. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:55 1
    - and now they can squash your right to sue them for whatever evil they have done, with a mere line buried in the contract -- nm - zeitgeist May 8, 19:02
- no. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:51
- no -- nm - Beaker May 8, 18:50
- The EU does not have one. Arnie, being a US citizen now, can actually become Pres there, and he's apparently already considered going for it.. -- nm - Facto May 8, 18:49 16
  - only problem is the EU has no president -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:07 8
    - Oh, really... -- nm - Facto May 8, 19:10 7
      - they have many presidents and chaimens and stuff but no "the president" in the commonly understood sence no -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:11 6
        
        Ok, I'll say you had a point, but it's not like they have "many" presidents, no. Many chairmen, definitely. Presidents. no. - Facto May 8, 19:19 5
        
        president of the commistion is the most powerfull yes but that is not the same as president of the EU - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:25 2
        
        I must update myself. Since November , 2009, the EU elected, per their Lisbon treaty, its first official President, and a foreign secretary. - Facto May 8, 19:30 1
        
        And here are official documents from the EU itself - Facto May 8, 19:51
        
        Hmm, there may be some other presidents as well, but not that matter.. - Facto May 8, 19:24 1
        
        it used to be "chaiman of the commistion" and it was a round robin turnament system - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:27
  - If California hadn't gone completely to hell he might have had a chance...now not so much. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 8, 18:58 2
    - Perhaps that's why he's signing movie contracts again... -- nm - Facto May 8, 19:00 1
      - Exactly -- nm - MojaveMeg May 8, 19:30
  - he can't. that would be the reason for an amendment. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:51 3
    - The EU, loosie.. -- nm - Facto May 8, 18:52
    - "The EU" -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 18:52 1
      - oh, thanks. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:53
- No. -- nm - Krusty May 8, 18:49
- Nope. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 8, 18:46
- I would support a change to help clarify it, but I think that can be done by US Code definition. -- nm - Max May 8, 18:46 2
  - i'm not sure about that, but what would need clarified? -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 18:50 1
    - Natural Born Citizen has been defined, really. There's some court history that's partly defined it - ty97 May 8, 18:59
- No. -- nm - nubby May 8, 18:45
Heather's Mother's Day dinner was steak, tomatoes & green peppers on the grill - prayformojo May 8, 18:37 4
- Ashlee got a nap after I woke up, then I made her breakfast. Then I stayed home with the boys and my dad and she went out to the mall by herself for - Stephen May 8, 19:48
- I screwed up mother's day something fierce. Not good. - Beryllium May 8, 19:38 1
  - oh no you dint!!!! -- nm - loosilu May 8, 19:39
- my nose said there was grilling going on EVERYWHERE! beautiful day for it. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:39
It finally clicked that a song that plays all the time at work is Fine Young Cannibals' cover of Suspicious Minds. -- nm - Tim May 8, 18:23 8
- so you didn't know what Suspicious Minds sounded like or just realized that it was FYC singing it? -- nm - lord tubbington May 8, 18:43 5
  - Wasn't familiar enough with the original, though listening, I've heard it before but not in a long time. - Tim May 8, 18:45 4
    - I actually like the FYC version better. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:52 3
      - Dwight Yoakam's is the only version -- nm - mud May 8, 19:04 2
        
        Yes -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 19:42
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn May 8, 19:28
- Does it drive you crazy? Like nothing else? -- nm - nubby May 8, 18:41 1
  - That plays on occassion as well. - Tim May 8, 18:42

*sunder* *sunder* *sunder* Ha ha You're dead. Wasn't that fun? -- nm - Qale May 8, 18:06
Just talked to my dad on the phone. He said he think Obama made the right call last week and deserves full credit. - loosilu May 8, 17:51 15
- OUTSTANDING -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 8, 19:07
- many republicans were so impressed by obama they decided to give him honorary citizenship -- nm - someone's facebook status May 8, 18:17 1
  - Nice. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:17
- Doesn't matter to all the conspiracy theorists. Also, they don't think it matters whether the GOP or the Dems are in office: - Facto May 8, 18:03 11
  - I did some reading on these theories back in the 80s. It boils down to rich and powerful people doing whatever they can to stay rich and powerful. - not2fast May 8, 18:37 1
    - They won't. I'm just working on profiling the theorists psychologically, No doubt there are psychological issues at work. So, my best guess is - Facto May 8, 18:48
  - they're not even worth my time. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:14 8
    - That's the same attitude that most sane people have, or at least those who are in government(al employment), But is ithe wisest stance? - Facto May 8, 18:59
    - No! You must hate them, hate them with every fiber of your being! And what's more you must post how much you hate them every time the subject comes up - Stephen May 8, 18:45 6
      - they make me angry. I can't even read their bullshit. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 18:52 1
        
        They (obviously) make me angry too. - Facto May 8, 18:53
      - I wouldn't actually say with every fibre of my being.. But yeah, I do hate them. Or at least despise them, or if not "them", then their - Facto May 8, 18:52 3
        
        You seem as obsessed with conspiracists as they are with they're conspiracies... - Stephen May 8, 19:19 2
        
        You have a point. It's the same thing I usually say to atheists, regarding their focus on religion and religious people. - Facto May 8, 19:48
        
        *their - Stephen May 8, 19:34

- *tries to come up with "PSN goes down more than _________" joke* - ReluctantCynic May 8, 17:43 4

My stupid Safari browser has blocked all images from one particular site (but not from others) - can't figure out how to undo this. Any ideas? Thx -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 17:16 3
- Stop looking at clown porn? -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 17:43

Hmm. I guess watching the Harold and Kumar movies was a necessity, but if the first one was small and petty, the sequel is just abusive. -- nm - Mop May 8, 15:39 1
- The first was surprisingly halarious and the second was an obvious cash in is more like it. -- nm - Qale May 8, 16:24
Scott Pilgrim has hit the pay channels. My wife will be distracted for the body of May. -- nm - David May 8, 15:23 6
- This and Kick Ass were the two movies that surprised me the most that i've seen this year. - Stephen May 8, 16:10 1
  - BTW, Kick Ass 2 comic is up to issue 2. - Spawn May 8, 16:48

    - isn't there "factual" basis for that, according to the Norse mythology? like, the hammer could theoretically have had the magical ability to ,, - i'm not dead yet ! May 8, 16:21 2
      - At the very least it was so heavy only Thor could lift it. -- nm - the liioulu with May 8, 18:17
      - It's part of the mythology yeah. - Qale May 8, 16:29
    - That was humorous -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 15:04
  - How Gay is this movie? Minor spoils - Epiphany May 8, 14:59 6
    - Two words: Kenneth Branagh. -- nm - Qale May 8, 15:02 5

      - I like his style. -- nm - Epiphany May 8, 15:05 3
        
        At the risk of repeating myself: He knows how to tell a story. -- nm - OAE May 8, 16:37 2
        
        I agree. It could have been really hard to introduce this whole world/mythos, but he just kind of dives in and gets it out the door quickly. -- nm - Qale May 8, 17:04 1
        
        Surprised to see a cameo by *spoils* - Epiphany May 8, 17:44
Too bad Phil Jackson's career ends with this game -- nm - amoxy May 8, 14:40 3

- I'll sleep perfectly fine -- nm - prayformojo May 8, 14:56
I didn't think Odom's was that bad but Bynum should get 10 games for that. -- nm - David May 8, 14:38 8
- Yeah, I agree. Odom's postgame comments, basically admitting he did it on purpose b/c he was getting clowned out there, is what's going to get him. - TFox May 8, 18:04
- And here is Bynum's shot for those who missed it -- (link) - amoxy May 8, 15:38 [youtube]

  - I thought Dirk flopped some. You see that hard screen several times a game. -- nm - David May 8, 14:41 2
    - Nah, I don't think he flopped at all, and Odom lunged toward him when he was still coming up the floor. - Stephen May 8, 14:52
    - Odom body checked him before he even set the screen. -- nm - CQ May 8, 14:42
- Yup. He could have really hurt that guy -- nm - amoxy May 8, 14:39
