- Don't you have a birthday between now and then? Or is that gone too? -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 07:09 3

  - it's my new desktop picture. -- nm - Pete Sep 4, 06:40 4
    - I love how she has turned into possibly the favorite character. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:41 3
      - well not THEE favorite. But certainly a good one. -- nm - Pete Sep 4, 06:48 2
        
        who do you think is the favorite? Gibbs? -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:48 1

I just typed "my brian just exploded" instead of "my brain just exploded." ha! ha! (I love me some brain.) -- nm - eighteen reasons to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 06:26 3
- The Life, errr Death, of Brian? -- nm - zork Sep 4, 06:37

    - DMac took a blue pill? -- nm - zork Sep 4, 06:38
- It appears so. - Krusty Sep 4, 06:25
Ok, I have to shut her off now. She's actually quoting the Obama tax email that's been going around. Almost all of which was proven either false or - Jim Sep 4, 06:16 9
- as was pointed out last night, it probably wasn't written by her. but yeah, she is a real barracuda. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:17 8
  - I couldn't possibly care less who wrote the speech...she said it. And just as I didn't like Obama's... - Jim Sep 4, 06:18 7
    - I didn't watch a lot of the Dem's speeches last week, but what I saw yesterday from Guliani and Palin sounded so vicious and bullying - Guigue Sep 4, 06:26 5
      - Yep...and until Obama spoke, the gloves were pretty much left on, I thought, and the DNC. - Jim Sep 4, 06:27 3
        
        Somebody has to be the pit bull. Now that Palin's established I'd expect McCain's speech to back off significantly from the fighty. -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 06:44 1
        
        this is what I'm thinking. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:47
        
        she had to prove that she's tough enough for the job, i.e. a hockey mom instead of a soccer mom. -- nm - zork Sep 4, 06:41
      - are people just now discovering the Giuliani is a jerk? -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:27
    - yeah, there was a lot of crap for the sake of appluase. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:23
nubby! Are you going to run, or are you going to ride it out? -- nm - decline Sep 4, 06:14 2
- They're predicting it to be much less destructive now than they had been. I'm going to ride it out. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 06:35 1
  - if it gets crazy take lots of picture :) -- nm - decline Sep 4, 06:36

LYC: my phones are here! my phones are here! - loosilu Sep 4, 06:04
did tee tee go down again? -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 05:57
Ok, so I'm listening to Palin's speech and all I can think is that I SO wish Hillary was the VP candidate. - Jim Sep 4, 05:56 9
- Eh. I'm perfectly happy with Biden. Pretty telling that the Reps. have offered very little by way of their own ideas this week. - Don Homer Sep 4, 05:58 8
  - Oh I know...I would love to see Palin have to square off with Hillary and we could see how tough this hockey mom is. - Jim Sep 4, 06:00 7
    - Honestly, I'm not sure Biden beats her in his own right. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 06:02 6
      - Maybe, maybe not. But win or lose, I think if Biden goes too hard on the attack, it'll backfire on him. - Jim Sep 4, 06:05 4
        
        I agree with that. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 06:06 3
        
        related: she can attack as hard as she wants, as the underdog. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:09 2
        
        Oh, she can pretty much run the gamut here; as long as if Biden pushes and she plays 'victim' too strongly, she'll be able to do most anything. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 06:12 1
        
        ... doing untold damage to the image of women in politics? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 07:03
      - I agree. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 06:03
My favorite NFL pre-season projections? Those saying positive things about Kris Jenkins with the Jets. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 05:34
Hello. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 05:31 1
- How odd. It *is* you that I'm looking for. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 05:36
There goes the Democrats' hopes she'll be a drain on McCain's ticket. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 05:30
Hurricane Watch! - nubby Sep 4, 04:45
So HSX is down, right? -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 04:07 2
- Of course it is. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 05:06
- Yes. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 04:45

  - You're missing gold either way, IMO. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 3, 22:39
its good to know that even away from TT, mara can make me laugh -- nm - Guy Sep 3, 18:45
HSX-TT is back up, if you're interested. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:36 3

  - I agree with cuntcumber. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 19:40
  - fuckity fuck yeah! -- nm - Guy Sep 3, 18:45
Olberman corrections to Huckabee: Lincoln was not the founder of the Party and Biden got twice as many votes as Palin, not less. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 3, 18:33 4
- I'm not sure how "votes" works in this context, can you explain? Or did Palin run for the RNC nomination and I just never heard of it? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:35 3
  - the silly applause line was she got more votes for mayor then Biden did for President -- nm - Citizen Erased Sep 3, 18:36 1
    - Wonderful. How many votes did Biden get for his 35 years in the senate, cumulatively? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:37
  - he was talking as mayor of Wasilla. - mafic Sep 3, 18:36
POW? -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 18:27 1
- BAMF! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 3, 18:31
My favorite thing about Facebook is getting friend requests from very good, very old friends. - TFox Sep 3, 18:26 2

I cast Kevin Spacey to play Huckabee. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 3, 18:23
anyone got ideas to trade? -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 18:22 11
- I can give you an economic policy for an immigration plan. -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 18:24 3
  - all I have is a communications plan. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 18:24 2
    - Alternative energy sources? Anyone? -- nm - mara Sep 3, 18:25 1
      - bah, they're a dime a dozen. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 18:31
- NWBR is making fun of mine, because somehow what I said about the American system applies to the Canadian system in his mind ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:23 6
  - I just can't believe you would so openly judge theirs while providing the perfect example of that criticism in our system. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 3, 18:25 5
    - well ... to be serious for a moment, I do prefer the wrangling and deal-making required to make a minority government work. - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:32 2
      - Honestly, you've really got that backwards. Every so often you need a majority to reset the direction. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 3, 18:37 1
        
        Hmm. Interesting points. Can't say I have a rejoinder for that :) - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:52
    - Because it's fun. That's all I care about. Why so serious? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:26 1
      - Oh, just bustin' your balls. Not really snarking at ya. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 3, 18:30

  - Still not being helpful to the decorum of our election Bery.... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 3, 18:23 1
    - *snicker* Okay, how about a "Please ask me about my opinions on limited socialist policies and how they apply to national interests, and ... - Beryllium Sep 3, 18:25
