Why is Tebow a spokesmodel for Jockey? - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:45 13
- To give the world a reason to look at photos like this. -- (link) - nubby Feb 7, 17:48
- Because Jockey and Tebow both like money. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:46 11
  - Most likely Ty speaks the truth -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:47 10
    - But Aaron Rodgers was the most admired man in the US. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:50 9
      - Rodgers could be admired; I'm not buying much from him. Tebow has die-hard fans. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 7, 18:16
      - Jockey has a ton of outlets nationwide. If not for this thread I never would have known they were a Wisconsin company - ty97 Feb 7, 17:51 1
        
        Been in Kenosha for a long time. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:14
      - Jockey likely cares little how Jockey sells in Wisconsin. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 17:51 5
        
        I'm pretty sure they do. Otherwise they wouldn't have outler stores there. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:54 4
        
        I'm going to go drown myself in a bucket of water. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 17:57 3
        
        Look I understand what you meant, but you picked a poor way to state it. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:00 2
        
        I was actually about to e-mail you to see if you could tutor me on the art of communicating clearly on ST to avoid frustration for all involved. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 18:05 1

- The idea that any judge isn't influenced by/beholden to a political ideology seems a bit outdated to me*. - Stephen Feb 7, 17:49 23
  - They have an actual definition too. I remember someone linked it and a table of how various judges on both sides measured up according to it. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:52
  - [deleted] 21
    - clerking for an appellate judge (who was always only one of a three-judge panel), 99% of the cases were boring as shit - pixie malone Feb 7, 18:00
    - Then how do you rationalize this with states wanting to move towards general lelections for judges? - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:57 4
      - [deleted] 2
        
        It's different in different states and even at different levels in the states. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:16
        
        K. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 18:14
      - corporations want to be able to buy the third branch of government like the other two they own already? -- nm - pixie malone Feb 7, 18:00
    - You're right jack, you're the only one that knows anything about everything. - Stephen Feb 7, 17:55 14
      - [deleted] 2
        
        No Jack, what's sad is how often you're posts start off along he lines of "with all due respect" which really means "not really" and then characterize - Stephen Feb 7, 18:15 1
        
        "your" - Stephen Feb 7, 18:17
      - Since he's actually a lawyer, he may know more than you do. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:07 10
        
        You're right, I didn't go to law school, so I couldn't possibly know anything about the legal system... -- nm - Stephen Feb 7, 18:16 7
        
        I said he may know more than you do. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:17 6
        
        I know more about toilet paper but I am sure everyone here can function to wipe there ass with it. - Bacon Feb 7, 18:20 5
        
        What a bizarre turn this conversation has taken. - ty97 Feb 7, 18:24 1
        
        No, it started out shitty. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 18:26
        
        As an expert in the field of toilet paper...how do you feel about those ads with the bears and the little balls of toilet paper - Stephen Feb 7, 18:23 1
        
        Who has ever used toilet paper that does that? I think the point is that bears shouldn't use toilet paper or stupid people. - Bacon Feb 7, 18:25
        
        It is oddly appropriate. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:21
        
        See, you had something there until you posted the IM. Then your argument went to shit. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 18:08 1
        
        Well....it was highly unusual. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:10
- Unelected? They mean appointed like the Supreme Court? - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:28 9
  - The Dems also created a huge backlog under GWB. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:33 6
    - to be fair, Geo Bush's main and probably only question to qualify was did they believe the bible was a law book? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 7, 17:53
    - And it's just getting bigger. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:34 4
      - It's okay to say that the Dems do bad things too. I wont tell. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:38 3
        
        They are all politicians. They all do bad things, mostly in the name of getting reelected. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:43
        
        Sadly, for the dems sometimes it's hard to tell if is intentional or accidental blundering. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:40 1
        
        I almost wish it was intentional, if only it would mean there was less blundering. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:43
  - To jump topics, I sorta really dislike the idea of voting/elections for stat judges. - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:30 1
    - Yep. I wonder what they think of elected judges, they kind of talk around it. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:33
- All Mitt's statement made me think is how much of a hypocritical asshole he is -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 17:21 2
  - Anything to be President. Anything. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:23 1
    - If he gives me a $10million trust fund, I will vote for him -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:26
- Hook, line, and sinker. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:20 3
  - [deleted]
  - I don't if that says more about our politicians or the voting population - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:25 1
    - Arg, don't know..... Stupid me -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:28
- An "activist judge" is one that decides differently than you would which makes the judges wrong and therefore suspect. So - TWuG Feb 7, 17:19 22
  - Of course the most activist judges on the Supreme Court are conservative. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:26 21
    - I have a feeling this will come down to which side of politics you fall on. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:27 20
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Did he use that term? No. It was basically the same argument though. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 18:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I think they don't want to confuse people using the other side's term. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 18:19
        
        The idea that democrats could collectively and effectively sell any argument to their constituents is laughable at best to their c - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:59
      - If activist could be defined and then measured we'd be able to tell definitively. -- nm - TWuG Feb 7, 17:29 1
        
        By their definition of "activist", of course they don't consider them to be activist. - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:31
      - Sacre bleu! - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:27 11
        
        I will challenge the notion that there is an ST collective wisdom. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:33 10
        
        The fact I am considered conservative says a lot, I think. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:37 5
        
        Not sure who calls you a conservative. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:42 3
        
        oh, but your friends scare me :) -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:42 2
        
        Remember my profession and the fact I go to a fairly conservative denomination so it skews. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 17:48 1
        
        I have noticed that, you like the devil's advocate role. - ty97 Feb 7, 17:50
        
        I think you are a pink fascist liberal commie, if that helps any. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:38
        
        Maybe, maybe not - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:36 2
        
        No argument that there can be ugliness, but I think that's a completely separate topic. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:37 1
        
        I don't think it is, but I see why you might think that. -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:39
        
        The only collective wisdom I can point to is orange is bad for a board. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 7, 17:36
      - Well, duh. It's politics, so it's all about the eyes of the beholder -- nm - tRu Pad Feb 7, 17:27
- It's win the battle, lose the war. - Reagen Feb 7, 17:19
I get the sense that Mop going to NYC is going to be very Mr Deeds Goes To Town -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 17:13
hey, one of my former writers group members is adapting "Tale of the Body Thief" -- (link) - pixie malone Feb 7, 17:05 4
- I've always said if they want Lestat back on the big screen, that's how it has to happen. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 18:19
- I'm jealous. That's a book that lends itself well to adaptation. -- nm - David Feb 7, 18:01
- Very exciting. It's a great story. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 7, 17:16
