Safe House A (solid A) great camera work and a great feel for the content. - Capstern Mar 7, 07:07 1
- Star Wars 1 in 3D was good - if they just edit out the Jar Jar scenes its pretty decent movie B+ / Journey 2 B- / This Means War B- -- nm - Capstern Mar 7, 07:16
Anybody watching The River -- nm - prayformojo Mar 7, 06:50 5
- Me. I enjoy it quite a bit. Certainly nothing else like it airing on tv atm. -- nm - Jovian Mar 7, 07:02

- is it any good? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 7, 06:57 1
  - i like it a good bit, though i'm predisposed to liking this sort of thing. -- nm - prayformojo Mar 7, 06:58
- ? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 7, 06:50
dammit. I just realised I have one playthrough of mass effect 2 that's finished except the dlc, and one that's finished the dlc but not the game. this - mafic Mar 7, 06:42 4
- I reboot and downloaded 2 yesterday and got 45 minute in. -- nm - Ender Mar 7, 06:52 2
  - "rebought" -- nm - Ender Mar 7, 06:53 1

I will suffer with no Internet today (at a clients office) - tRu Pad Mar 7, 06:34 5
- but you have the internet on your ipad. so that's internet. right? -- nm - jones Mar 7, 07:13
- Are you suggesting that just because they're black, they won't have internet? -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 06:50 2
  - Actually - tRu Pad Mar 7, 06:52 1
    - bow-chicka-bow-bow -- nm - decline Mar 7, 06:53

Irsay is gonna get flame broiled...yeesh -- nm - budice Mar 7, 06:22
According to the NYTimes breakdown, Romney has won delegates from every state to vote so far, except MN* - znufrii Mar 7, 06:20
neat interactive delegate tracker thing -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 7, 05:55 33
- Bible Belt will speak volumes on who has a chance for the nomination..and presidential chances. -- nm - budice Mar 7, 06:40 15
  - [deleted] 14
    - Fun hypothetical: what would Romney have to do for Alabama to go for Obama in November? -- nm - TFox Mar 7, 06:47 13
      - Roll out his slate of endorsers....Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer and Phil Fullmer....convert to Islam and marry a black woman while adopting an illegal. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 06:59 8
        
        While proclaiming he's glad Dale Earnhardt died. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 07:00 7
        
        along those lines, he could have Jeff Gordon publicly support him. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 07:16 1
        
        And Davey Allison...there's a reason he drove cars instead of flying planes, am I right? -- nm - Mittens Mar 7, 07:26
        
        and urinating on Bear Bryant's grave -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 07:06 4
        
        heh. I was going to say 'while stating that Auburn has the best football team ever' -- nm - decline Mar 7, 07:12
        
        Nah, you risk gaining the Auburn vote. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 07:12 1
        
        Good point. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 07:13
        
        And proclaiming Gen Sherman as a great american hero -- nm - eag Mar 7, 07:11
      - It would probably require a strong independent run from the right. 40-39-21 sort of result. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 06:52
      - [deleted]
      - marry a black guy? - znufrii Mar 7, 06:48 1
        
        "I would be very upset if Obama got with that busted up white girl." - TFox Mar 7, 06:51
- Bible Belt will -- nm - budice Mar 7, 06:39
- Ignorant question here, but I'll ask anyways. Why isn't there a democratic primary going on? Is it because there is a democratic president or does - oblique Mar 7, 05:57 15
  - There's even a candidate named "Vermin Supreme". This can't be coincidence, can it? -- (link) - Roger More Mar 7, 06:17
  - Obama is the only candidate on the ballot in many states, thus no need for coverage. - ty97 Mar 7, 05:59 7
    - 2004 was similar - all coverage was Kerry, Edwards, and company. GWB was a given as the GOP incumbent nominee -- nm - ty97 Mar 7, 06:03 6
      - Thanks. I figured it was something like that but also with all the general political craziness that someone might make a legitimate run at Obama -- nm - oblique Mar 7, 06:06 5
        
        As a Democrat? They'd pretty much ruin their career. -- nm - mara Mar 7, 06:54
        
        The DNC wouldn't let that happen -- nm - decline Mar 7, 06:16 3
        
        It's not as much a matter of letting it happen or not. It would be foolhardy and a total waste of time and money. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 06:19 2
        
        right. What I meant was that if some momo wanted to try, he wouldn't get any support from the DNC and so no one (of any consequence) will try -- nm - decline Mar 7, 06:22 1
        
        gotcha. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 06:26
  - Most states are doing caucuses, to turn the "vote" into an organizational meeting. -- nm - nubby Mar 7, 05:59 3
    - I don't agree with "most". It's the same as it was 4 years ago, except obviously far less attention on the Dem. side since the presidential - Don Homer Mar 7, 06:00 2
      - I guess I'm myopic. My state divides the Presidential primary and all other primaries. -- nm - nubby Mar 7, 06:22 1
        
        each state is different. There's probably like 30 different ways that it is done. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 06:25
  - There is. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 05:58 1
    - In fact two posts down below about it. Kucinich lost his primary for Congress, and a nutcase opponent managed 1 delegate vs Obama in OK. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 05:59
I survived -- nm - CQ Mar 7, 05:34 5
- You're back from outer space? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 05:35 4

    - Is your liver waving a white flag? -- nm - LMS Mar 7, 05:46 1
      - shut down mode. :) -- nm - CQ Mar 7, 06:02
    - lightweight. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 7, 05:37
The best comparison I've heard to describe what we're seeing in the 2012 primaries (R) - Strongbad Mar 7, 05:24
Congrats to Joe the Plumber!!! Won his party's nomination in his bid for Congress. -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 7, 05:11 1
- Think about how awesome Joe the Plumber v. Kucinich debates might've been. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 7, 05:18

Oh boy - watching the preview episode of American Digger. The annual convention of the Society for California Archaeology is at the end of the month.. - MojaveMeg Mar 6, 23:14 4
- It will probably get the program off the air but nothing is going to stop those idjits. -- nm - BAD Mar 6, 23:28 3
  - I'd love to see them wandering onto public land and getting their asses thrown in jail. Hope springs eternal :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 6, 23:32 2
    - They go on private land and share the profits with the owners after getting their permission... -- nm - BAD Mar 6, 23:39 1
      - These guys might do that (as distructive, and looteristic as it is) but its the hundreds of viewers that see it and think, Hey I can - zeitgeist Mar 7, 01:01

So, I'm so tired of the contraception stuff going on in the news. I'm not even getting laid! -- nm - Qale Mar 6, 21:28 23
- dude, if you impregnate someone I'm going to church to repent all my sins, because that'd be some kind of miracle. -- nm - mafic Mar 7, 01:09
