The Rahm Doctrine: �You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,� -- (link) - znufrii Jan 28, 09:08 20
- near-term crisis???? -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:14 15
  - namely, the current banking/financial/economic crisis. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:18 14
    - pritty optimistic to call it near-term :) -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:19 13
      - meaning only that it's the crisis most imediately in front of us, not that it will be of short duration. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:21 12
        
        wonder if there has been any calculations on the Finance Crisis's effect on global warming? -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:24 11
        
        probably minimal, if any. Won't have lasted long enough to have a profound effect. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:31 10
        
        depends how you calculate it - if you link the low price of oil to the crisis, then there's an impact - Roger More Jan 28, 09:35 5
        
        Your second point is of a piece with the article I linked. - znufrii Jan 28, 09:38 2
        
        What I read was that subsidies, etc won't make much difference and a price on carbon is needed - Roger More Jan 28, 09:49 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:51
        
        to add - my point on the low price of oil isn't about direct emissions, but the impact it has on incentives to develop cleaner fuels, more efficient.. - Roger More Jan 28, 09:38 1
        
        we've already seen that come and go, with the spike in oil prices receding as quickly as it has. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:39
        
        the rise in CO2 ought to stop i think -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:33 3
        
        not enough to make a significant or even noticable change in the overall trends. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:34 2
        
        and will probably be temporary at best. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:34 1
        
        unfornately i think so to -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:36
- they're fortunate to have so many at once -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 09:13

you won't care, but this is really exciting news in Kelly-land - - kelly Jan 28, 09:02 15
- can you stuff it with booze instead? - Mel Profit Jan 28, 09:40 2
  - I've had a BAC of .05 solid for the last 2 weeks. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 09:49 1
    - I'm totally down with getting one of these thing and MacGivering it to regulate BAC. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 09:50
- thats good...its an excellent price you've been quoted there -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 09:17 1
  - Yeah...for now. - kelly Jan 28, 09:18
- ahh new hardware :) -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 09:12
- Yay! -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 09:10
- this is fantastic -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 09:09
- Two or three more robot parts, and you can be a Dark Lord of the Sith! -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 09:05 2
  - Yeah, seriously, it is a bit excessive. -- (link) - kelly Jan 28, 09:13
  - so, as much as trish jokes about my "girl robot", Will has actually succeeded? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 09:11
- you're right. - Remlik Jan 28, 09:04
- vn!!! -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:03
- that's very good -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 09:03 1
  - heh - no "Don Homer!"? -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 09:06
Re B2 and TV edits reminds me of Funky Pete from the Shaun of the Dead DVD. -- nm - LMS Jan 28, 08:53
This is pretty cool... a couple years ago my brother posted a video on youtube in which he edited together some scenes from Scarface - Don Homer Jan 28, 08:51 [youtube] 3
- I really need to watch this movie again -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 09:02
- that was really well done. good for him -- nm - decline Jan 28, 08:57
- nice, good for him. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 08:53
I think it's comical how House Republicans are whining Obama that the Democrats won't let them play with the ball. - Mop Jan 28, 08:50 20
- I think if Obama's serious about change he'd better show me that he can get Congressional Democrats on board. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 09:43 1
  - I wanna see him make Harry Reid cry like the little beyotch he is; just long enough for the Nevada voters to get rid of him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 09:48
- Grass seed for the National Mall?! *gasp*! Tell the construction workers building highways... no medians, only asphalt! -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 08:57
- The thing that aggravates me is none of the concessions he's giving the Republicans will help and only weaken the overall plan. -- nm - Tim Jan 28, 08:55 2
  - what concessions, specifically? - znufrii Jan 28, 08:58
  - Tax cuts! Woo! - Mop Jan 28, 08:56
- I think it's comical how House Republicans are whining - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 08:54
- [deleted] 1
  - Just because I have less backbone than a jellyfish doesn't mean I'm a pussy! - Harry Reid Jan 28, 08:53
- Comical sure, but I think it scores Obama big points to reach out to them the way he has. - znufrii Jan 28, 08:51 10
  - It scores him points based on how many R's in the House vote Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 09:38 1
    - exactly. - znufrii Jan 28, 09:45
  - Very true. Obama doesn't have to actually succeed in building a coalition. He can just be perceived as trying. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 08:55 7
    - It's not as altruistic as all that. Him reaching out to the GOP now, though he may not need them, will help him in future debates when he does -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 08:59 5
      - Are you trying to suggest we currently have a president that... thinks ahead? - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 09:12 2
        
        Inconceivable! -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 09:27
        
        Shocking, I know -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 09:13
      - Or the more cynical response.....when/if this fails and they work together....they can't exactly beat him up over it. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 09:03
      - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:02
    - yep. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 08:56

        "If only your genital worts had cleared up as quickly...." -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 09:22
- Question: why don't you just copy and paste your all-caps freakout to that guy? - TFox Jan 28, 08:49 4
  - better yet, he should urge everyone to post that the guy is an idiot, and then send him the ST link -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 08:50
  - [deleted] 2
    - "Man, I would have loved to eat there too. If only someone had nominated it before the deadline..." - TFox Jan 28, 08:53 1
      - I like it :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 08:57

  - ~You've got to make your own kind of music, sing your own special song~ - con_carne Jan 28, 09:12
- I'm in until the end and I still enjoy it. -- nm - pmb Jan 28, 08:58 5
  - I was very disappointed when ... (Jack season 4 spoiler) - Don Homer Jan 28, 08:59 4
    - I agree with both you and pmb -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 09:00
    - oh, and for me the same is true of (spoil) - loosilu Jan 28, 09:00
    - Spoils - pmb Jan 28, 09:00
    - same here. -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 09:00
- I'll probably stick with it until the end at this point, but I don't care too much about it anymore. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 28, 08:53
- I watched three episodes and stopped. Season One still sits on my DVD shelf. -- nm - Jelly Jan 28, 08:52
- Gave it up sometime in season 2 (nm) - Brian Jan 28, 08:49

  - [deleted]
- I quit Lost in season two -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 28, 08:45
- I never returned past the 6 episode mini-season in Season 3. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 08:44 1
  - I almost quit during that. But I gave it another shot and it's terrific so far. Worth renting the dvd's. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 08:54
