ST Poll: There's been a recent rash of covers, for example: - miffed67 Jul 2, 11:41 7
- Foo Fighters' Baker Street is hardly recently (1998). There's dozens of new covers - some by popular artists - every year. -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 12:20
- Fav? sublime's cover of We're Only Gonna Die.... - spamlet Jul 2, 11:44
- subconsciously I think covers lack creativity ( write a new song!) but with that said, I geniuely like some. Bad Company by FFDP is pretty damn good. -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 11:44 1
  - I actually like the FFDP cover of Bad Company, but I can't stand Godsmack's Rocky Mountain Way. I'm with you, I favor original over covers, too. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 2, 11:50
- Favs: Johnny Cash covering "Hurt" by NIN. - Mel Profit Jul 2, 11:44 1

You have got to be one of the biggest complaining customers if I want to fire you during 4th of July week. That was fun -- nm - CQ Jul 2, 11:36 2
- how do complainers go through life and think they are never going to have reap the consequences of complaining ALL THE TIME? - Pippy Jul 2, 11:45 1
  - I could see it if they had legitimate complaints, but there's nothing to bitch about! - CQ Jul 2, 11:47

groin, talk to me about this jerk chicken. what's in it? can I make it for laundry? (guys, I'm starting to sweat laundry.) -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 11:31 3
- We did steak fajitas in the crock pot Saturday. They were good. - spamlet Jul 2, 11:36
- didn't you just do laundry? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 11:32 1

  - makes as much sense as buying gold -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 14:01
  - Is this thoughts from 2008? - JaxSean Jul 2, 11:20
  - That's absurd. If anything, the Obama Administration has been GIVING away guns. Why else is Holder in deep shit? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:20 1
    - Yes, furiously. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:23
  - I can't even follow the logic. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 11:18 6
    - There isn't any. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:19 5
      - Yeah, logic doesn't work on them. They live in their own little bubble. -- nm - ceregon Jul 2, 11:26
      - doesn't matter, they've got guns. - znufrii Jul 2, 11:20 3
        
        Sure. If they are willing to believe this...defeating them would be simple. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:29
        
        heh -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 11:24
        
        Throw them in Gitmo as terrorists! Too bad Obama shut it down. Oh, wait, no he didn't. - JaxSean Jul 2, 11:23

- 88 here -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 11:05 1
  - (in NYC) -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 11:08

Torres' suspension reduced so he'll miss the first 8 games of next season. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 10:59
so the reason we're talking about the election is that corporate of the store for which I work is talking about preparing for holiday season layoffs - amanda Jul 2, 10:59 21
- I'd say a Romney win would have the most negative impact for the sector. - znufrii Jul 2, 11:04 11
  - Re-read. Store she works for; not her primary job. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:05 10
    - that's what I mean. - znufrii Jul 2, 11:07 9
      - this is what I think, too, in the long run. but we wouldn't see that six weeks after the election. - amanda Jul 2, 11:10 8
        
        That's true. Romney's would simply respond that the private sector's job creation should be strong enough to pick up that slack. - con_carne Jul 2, 11:27 6
        
        Corporate profits may be high, but that doesn't oblige companies to hire more people. - Roger More Jul 2, 11:33 5
        
        I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, we have plenty of citizens who think the government is good for nothing. -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 11:40 2
        
        If only they knew what companies were like. -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 11:44
        
        or worse - znufrii Jul 2, 11:43
        
        obviously we need to cut taxes on the rich, that'll fix everything! -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 11:35 1
        
        I know you're joking, but I should make it clear that I don't believe this is the answer -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 11:40
        
        this is true. - znufrii Jul 2, 11:11
- retail layoffs in holiday season? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 11:02
- I'd be inclined in believing your store is trying to influence the votes of their employees with meaningless talk. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:01 6
  - oh no, that's totally what they're saying. they're saying "depending on the election's results, we expect less traffic & sales this holiday season." - amanda Jul 2, 11:04 4
    - Wonder if by that they really mean "we don't want to have to provide health care for all of you, so we'll just keep the ones that can work more hours" -- nm - Ender Jul 2, 11:12 1
      - we started preparing for ACA last year -- we have two classes of PT employees: 20+ h per wk, and less. - amanda Jul 2, 11:25
    - Clearly Obama -- no business will ever say the Democrats are better for them. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 11:05 1
      - yeah sure .. Romney win would be fantabulous -- nm - Ebony magazine Jul 2, 11:07
  - Yup. -- nm - Other David Jul 2, 11:03
- Obviously, if Obama gets re-elected the American economy will fall into a depression. - spamlet Jul 2, 11:00

  - or Norway -- nm - Jovian Jul 2, 11:01

  - I've always considered him moderate, too. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 2, 11:38
  - Cuz he's a Vanderbilt, maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:20
- Anderson Cooper is a conservative? -- nm - mara Jul 2, 10:57 3

    - AC: CONSERVATIVE! -- nm - New Screaming Headlines Jul 2, 11:01 1

- can but won't, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 10:59
- I honestly dont. But what do I know. I know Im not worried about him like I was Santorum though. -- nm - Jovian Jul 2, 10:55
- 40%....but all it would take is a serious economic failure in Europe that shockwaves here and he's a coin flip. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 10:51
- Yes. Obama is the incumbent in an economy that's struggling. - con_carne Jul 2, 10:50 1
  - Plus, he's Obama. - JaxSean Jul 2, 10:52
- In that 'Obama can lose' absolutely -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 10:49
- Yes, I do. - spamlet Jul 2, 10:48
- I think it could happen. I'd put it at 30-40%. - Mel Profit Jul 2, 10:47
- hells no ... GOP can barely prop him up ... easily 60 / 40 Obama Win if not more -- nm - budice Jul 2, 10:47 2
