Romney wants to amend the Constitution to add that Presidential Candiates have to have 3 years Business Experience -- (link) - amoxy May 30, 12:15 21
- I doubt he means it - he's just implying that he has the right skill-set to become President, and Obama doesn't. - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada May 30, 12:26 1
  - yup. - znufrii May 30, 12:28
- Their bolding seems to be trying pretty hard to hide that he's not actually proposing it, just quoting someone he talked to. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:25 8
  - Do you think politicians quote every person they talk to in a stump speech? - Will Hunting May 30, 12:28 4
    - I think they do fairly often when it's a local person and it speaks to that candidate's strong points. It is absolutely silly to read this as him actually proposing a constitutional amendment. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:32 3
      - Touting --- aka, it's a good enough idea for me to use it in a stump speech. - Will Hunting May 30, 12:41
      - Silly manufactured shock and outrage? - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:33 1
        
        I know, shocking. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:34

    - Their bolding of "You know I�d like to change the Constitution" and... - Ender May 30, 12:30 1
      - I agree with Ender on that, at least - znufrii May 30, 12:35
- I'd totally ask him for details, specific to Reagan (without mentioning the name) to see if Gip would make it. -- nm - Mel Profit May 30, 12:20 9
  - don't be silly - znufrii May 30, 12:33
  - I guess he would consider his time as an actor to be business -- nm - amoxy May 30, 12:21 7
    - let's find out. let's ask him to define what he means. - Mel Profit May 30, 12:23 6
      - honestly, in some respects i would think that business experience would actually be a hinderance to getting things done as president - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 12:25 1
        
        I second this post ten trillion times. - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:30
      - Let us know what you find out. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:24 3
        
        even you have to admit it's stupid. it's meaningless pablum. -- nm - Mel Profit May 30, 12:31 2
        
        Let's *make it* mean something! Hold his feet to the fire! - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:32 1
        
        If we discuss this seriously will you continue or will you snark it up and withdraw? - Mel Profit May 30, 12:37

  - maybe they make wine! -- nm - zork May 30, 12:17
  - Sounds like a character from the Godfather or Sopranos -- nm - eag May 30, 12:13 2
    - A man by that same name has a huge presence on the Internet � as a low-budget adult film actor and for controversial videos he has posted online in tl -- nm - Andie May 30, 12:15 1
      - Awful porn name if you ask me -- nm - eag May 30, 12:16
- Stumpy Kroeger from Hanna. -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 12:05
- The suspect should know that a good defense attorney is going to cost him... [puts on sunglasses] ...an arm and a leg. -- nm - Det.Vermin May 30, 12:04
- A guy missing a foot and a hand? -- nm - Spawn May 30, 12:04
- maybe he used his own return address -- nm - zeitgeist May 30, 12:03 1
  - Maybe he used his own hand and foot. -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 12:04

How do we feel about Croissants? - amoxy May 30, 11:52 30
- delicious but fattening, and most of them are bad quality and not worth it. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 12:27
- Love them but hardly ever eat them anymore. -- nm - kelly May 30, 12:18 1

- Pretty much grew up on supermarket croissants, but now I think they are just okay -- nm - con_carne May 30, 12:07 2
  - like, the ones you buy 6 in a bag? you need to get one fresh, in the morning, from a bakery to remind y ou of their real yumminess. mmmm. -- nm - Andie May 30, 12:08 1
    - Oh yeah, and the real butter ones have the slightly crispy corners - con_carne May 30, 12:16

  - nwo a garlic bagel, toasted with cream cheese, on the other hand... - znufrii May 30, 11:59 8
    - Bagels aren't pastry -- nm - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada May 30, 12:00 5
      - technically you are correct, but I was using the term to refer more generically to the entire category of morning baked goods -- nm - znufrii May 30, 12:01 4
        
        And bagels win that category hands down. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 12:06 3
        
        Yep. Montreal bagels. -- nm - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada May 30, 12:07 2

  - I actually liked that character in the book (spoilers) - eag May 30, 11:45
  - Victor Krum stands out much more from that movie, my favorite Potter. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 11:45 16
    - Cedric is really kind of nondescript. -- nm - Kim Pine May 30, 11:45 15
      - He is one of the elements of the book that got dialed way down along with Rita Skeeter. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 11:52 11
        
        Thank god for the latter part. - Will Hunting May 30, 11:53 10
        
        She is no Umbridge thought - eag May 30, 11:55 9
        
        Book wise, I think Umbridge was the worst thing JK wrote -- mainly becuase it was written horrendously. Movie-wise, they made Dolores fantastic. - Will Hunting May 30, 11:57 8
        
        I pictured Linda Hunt as her while reading the books. Too bad she's not British-born and was not eligible. -- nm - zork May 30, 12:15
        
        Yes, she was way too much of a cartoon character in the books. -- nm - Kim Pine May 30, 12:03 1
        
        And speaking of Stephen King, I'm still annoyed with him for championing this character. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 12:19
        
        I agree with this although the house elf slavery thing was a close second. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 12:02 3
        
        Yeah, that was weak, but it wasn't important enough for me to remember :) -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 12:05 2

        Nope -- nm - eag May 30, 12:15
        
        Problem was - eag May 30, 12:01
      - It's jarring to see Pattinson smiling given he's spent the last 3-4 years looking miserable making millions. - Will Hunting May 30, 11:46 2
        
        The most impressive feat in Adventureland is that it makes me like Kristen Stewart. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 11:52

- You can read it on your browser, or on your smart phone. -- nm - Kim Pine May 30, 11:34 2
