I...did not realize that was Elle Fanning in the Super 8 trailer. - kelly Jun 6, 15:26 5

  - [deleted] 1
    - I'd say: "Something doesn't smell right. It might be worth your time to check it out." You've then done your bit. If more comes to light - TWuG Jun 6, 15:35

what a young fact-checker for Cosmopolitan magazine learned about sex on the job -- (link) - moles Jun 6, 14:58 1

Can I get someone to explain this to me in layman terms (what the actual impact might be) because it feels important... -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jun 6, 14:57 4
- this is odd. no mainstream news coverage of that, as far as a quick google shows. that site shows in news hits and check out the array of blogs.. -- (link) - b. Jun 6, 15:09 1
  - nevermind. ;p-me for not changing terms again. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 15:10
- PS: I realize coming from me, this might have sounds snide, but I'm serious, does this really tip off something or is no big deal? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 6, 15:04
- They got tired of the jokes. Or they wanted to cash in, so they found other buyers. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:58

  - ARGH! Picture #6! -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:55
This may be good. Apparently we're getting window A/C units. I'm not really part of the decision making process on this one, but I could see that - Qale Jun 6, 14:53 1

- is there a link of her singing somewhere? She is indeed awesome... -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 15:33

- They're conservative, not stupid. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:41 9
  - I like that this is a distinction that needs to be pointed out -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 14:43
  - This. Historically they have been intellectuals. - loosilu Jun 6, 14:42 7
    - This. If the grassroots of the conservative movement heard these people speak, they'd try to lynch 'em. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:44 6
      - Does anyone remember Buckley's talk show? It was actually fun to watch. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:45 5
        
        it was one of my favorite shows from the time I was a little little kid. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 15:03 4
        
        Are we freaks? I watched McLaughlin when I was little. Surely this isn't normal. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 15:11 2
        
        I think my political interest began with Fred Willard and DC Follies -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 15:13
        
        I watched his show quite a bit, too. -- nm - b. Jun 6, 15:12
        
        you must have been crushed when gore vidal pwned his ass! - moles Jun 6, 15:05

  - [deleted]
- founder Bill Buckley was an ivy league elitist conservative -- nm - moles Jun 6, 14:37 5

- Lulz. Not Anonymous. At this point, Anonymous is steering very clear of Sony. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:43
- this is truly Lolz worthy - Epiphany Jun 6, 14:41
- And they don't have Halo, either. -- nm - David Jun 6, 14:36
I hate Justin -- (link) - marcel Jun 6, 14:33 [youtube]
I find it odd how real-world social interaction comes back in waves of recollection as my mind processes it in the background. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:23
Politicians. Boy I don't know. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 6, 14:20 29
- For me, it's more basic: what about lying -- which is apparently part of their job... - OAE Jun 6, 15:05
- I find it amusing how we simultaneously have no respect for them and also hold them to an impossible standard. - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:21 27
  - [deleted] 2
    - I just wish that the blood the media sharks always smell in the water would result in constructive questions, not tabloid crap. - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:46 1
      - They do, just rarely on for-profit media -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 14:47
  - The impossible standard realizing you are in the public eye? You chose to be there? Of thinking before you act? A modicum of integrity instead of - bc/nc Jun 6, 14:26
  - [deleted] 22
    - Forget that, I think most would be content with "when you're caught doing that don't lie and make up stories about being hacked". -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 14:29
    - OTOH, he had probably already reached his highest possible office - Reagen Jun 6, 14:25 16

        yes -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:31
      - [deleted] 8
        
        I don't think it's impossible for him to still run for Mayor of NYC. -- nm - Qale Jun 6, 14:30 1
        
        yeah, a little dirty laundry won't keep someone out of that office. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:30
        
        depends how you work the office, I guess - Reagen Jun 6, 14:29 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I agree with Matt Yglesias that the biggest mistake a politico can make is to resign. - Reagen Jun 6, 14:34 3
        
        Spitzer broke a law, though. Has Weiner? -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 14:35 2

        Sidney Greenstreet? -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 15:03
      - I don't get why he doesn't pronounce it the way it's written. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:26 4
        
        way-ner? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:26 3
        
        why-ner. Not the greatest but still preferable. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:26 2
        
        President Whiner has a nice ring to it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:27 1
        
        I guess you could go all german and pronounce the W as a V. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:27
    - I wonder how many times the head of the IMF did that before his incident turned heads? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:25 2
      - junk texting is not a gateway drug to housekeeper rape -- nm - moles Jun 6, 14:27 1
        
        I disagree. There's a pattern of escalation for behaviors like this. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:28
    - or "Don't act like a first class moron". -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 14:25
"Halo: Remade" is a dumb name. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:18 19

- Yup. -- nm - David Jun 6, 14:33
- did bungie make this version or is this microsoft since it bought them? -- nm - moles Jun 6, 14:26 4
  - The Halo remake? It's an outside studio. Halo 4? Microsoft. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:45 2
    - oh, right ... the remake isn't even 343 Industries, is it? heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:57 1
      - Probably not a lot of work involved in some new textures. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 15:12
  - I think Microsoft, but the guy running the project was one of the project leaders for Bungie. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 14:29
- But par for the course. "Halo: Combat Evolved" "Halo: ODST" and "Halo: Reach" weren't exactly Shakespeare. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 14:22 2
  - Halo: Kill Spawn More -- nm - moles Jun 6, 14:23
  - This is very true. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:23
- Microsoft announces Halo: Rehash and Halo: Retread for Summer 2012 (linky) - stewie Jun 6, 14:22 1

- By January, we'll be asking "Remade tonight?" God help us. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:19 5
  - god no, or at least I hope no. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 6, 14:59
  - I still just call it Halo.nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 14:21
  - No we won't - there's no multiplayer. It just comes with 6 new reach maps. - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:20 1
    - No multiplayer?!! Oh, it's like ODST with the new maps. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) Jun 6, 14:41
  - I... don't see that happening. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 14:20
I remember seeing Canned Heat and Neil Young play the Saskaoon Berry Jam back in '74 -- nm - prayformojo Jun 6, 14:17
Vote for the ST June Book by 10pm ET tonight -- (link) - ty97 Jun 6, 14:17 3

- Oh, that reminds me, I should tabulate the SurveyMonkey results soon for the sreeevay in the recent news box (above) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 14:19 1
  - I'm about to take that right now, OK? - con_carne Jun 6, 14:20
[deleted] 1
- will that make my book full of Tom Gordon rookie cards worth more than the paper they're printed on? -- nm - moles Jun 6, 14:16
Confession: I have no idea what Tessa says. -- nm - David Jun 6, 14:15 6
- Eh, she isn't that bad. When I met her I did not know who she was and saved her from some dude. - Spawn Jun 6, 15:31
- she was fucking Joey Jeremiah when she knew he was with Caitlin, that little slut. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 14:18 3
  - heh. -- nm - zork Jun 6, 14:31 2
    - there's like 20 Canadians here and that sits for ten+ minutes?! -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 14:34 1
      - (The surprising part is that I knew the ref.) -- nm - David Jun 6, 14:37
- be glad. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 14:16
