B2 was worse than HSX 3.0. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:48

Reese is home from school today because she threw up last night and she is running a bit of a fever today. She is sitting in my mothers lap and they - sheba Oct 22, 11:44 1
- Awwwwww. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:47
well I know who ML's radio client is. Ok if I post the article here ML? -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:42
Bill O'Reilly to end radio show next year... - Remlik Oct 22, 11:41 1
- Awww shucks...I wonder what radio award he'll lie about winning in his next book. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:43
Ahh, you can hear the single at the GNR site, no streaming required -- (link) - ty97 Oct 22, 11:40 6
- Except I notice your link on B2. Thx -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 11:56
- ^^^ WARNING - SOUND -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:40 4
  - what did you expect, a silent single? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:44 3
    - WTF is wrong with that? -- nm - John Lennon SI Oct 22, 11:47 1
      - nice! -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:49
    - heh, just want to warn people that it plays automatically when you load the site -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:45
I think I'm done trading on HSX. It's just too silly -- nm - CQ Oct 22, 11:37 17
- The shills who keep calling the site "a step in the right direction" are fucking morons. Did they not watch the last season of The Office? - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:40 9
  - While it's note a step in the right direction, I think it's an unretractable step, so the 'bring back old HSX' shills are kinda pointless too. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:45 3
    - Unless the fuckers a) improve tremendously the port; and b) go away with the whole schmoozing for money thing, this was my last day there.. - Marlowe Oct 22, 11:51
    - I agree. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:46
    - Yes, making suggestions is much more productive even if they most likely will be ignored. -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 11:46
  - What's The Office? -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 11:43
  - (That said, sure, I'll add profiles and blogging to ST. Sounds like a great idea.) - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:41
  - There are shills? I haven't seen any -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 11:40 2
    - I've seen two people who have been echoing what I said above, that it's "a step in the right direction". -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 11:41 1
      - I'm astonished. I'd go visit the site to verify, but I wouldn't want to drive up their page views any more than necessary -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 11:44
- why even try right now? wait till it's actually functioning. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:39
- I'm not really making trade efforts at the moment. Waiting for the usability and performance to be enhanced -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:38 5
  - yah.. i was hoping new coding would help.. being able to tag stocks for future purchase, do advanced organization. we have less control over - colin Oct 22, 11:48
  - I'm waiting too. As it is now, I just can't. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:39
  - I'm doing the same thing. I still have hope that the people in charge of HSX will make some improvements. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:39 2
    - I'll be very surprised and disappointed if they don't. - ty97 Oct 22, 11:41 1
      - Me too. But, I've been disappointed by companies before. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:43
It certainly wasn't worth 15 years wait. Then again, it was not a bag single. I might like it. - ty97 Oct 22, 11:36 5
- I'm not ready to live in a world where Chinese Democracy is a real product. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:41 3
  - I'm going to listen to it every time I play Duke Nukem Forever. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:48
  - 11/23/08. (11/11 at Best Buy, I think) -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:41 1
    - yep. A Sunday release. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:43
- and it was apparently released for radio play today, so presumably you'll start hearing it in the US? -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:37
LIR: I'm not perturbed at all by Gov. Palin's wardrobe and makeup costs. - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:31 39
- I don't care what anybody spends on their clothes. But question: Why do all of her suits look exactly alike? -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:37 3
  - Yeah, she always looks the same! -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 11:48
  - Branding -- nm - rollo Oct 22, 11:45
  - This is what *all* the hip hockey moms are wearing this year. Trust us! -- nm - RNC Oct 22, 11:39
- It doesn't mesh well with the RNC message. But somehow her supporters will rationalize it away. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 22, 11:36 1
  - "We have lots of things in our house that don't belong to us." -- nm - Sen. Ted Stevens Oct 22, 11:38
- I really think it's a non issue. But media needs a new story to keep the newscycles going. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:32 14
  - I think it's an issue to the extent that it isn't very "small town," which is what Palin's been harping on for weeks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 11:36 12
    - that's a not a bad point. But hasn't she always been a clothes centric person anyway? -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:39 2
      - Not sure either way on that. I'm not saying she should be buying clearance clothes at WalMart, but the money spent seems extravegant. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 11:44 1
        
        for a TV and podium ready wardrobe for a schedule that busy, totally disagree. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:46
    - honestly, I think that's just silly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:38 5
      - If Gov. Palin hadn't made that "real America" push part of her campaign rhetoric, this wouldn't even be an issue. - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:42 4
        
        I seriously don't see the problem. Real Americans aren't on TV every day either. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:44
        
        you don't think people in 'real america' wouldn't love a whole new wardrobe? -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:43 2
        
        (please note, i'm no Palin supporter, but the things she gets criticized for are so besides the point.) -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:44 1
        
        I'm getting frustrated 'cause I'm not explaining myself very well, but bear with me for a second ... - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:49
    - i don't think Sorels and an embroidered moose sweater would look all that appropriate at a VP debate. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:38
    - "She went to change Washington, and Washington changed her." -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:37 1
      - "She went to change Washington, but changed her clothes instead" -- nm - rollo Oct 22, 11:39
  - *fingers crossed that "Al-Queda Endorses McCain" is next* -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:36
- FWIW, I think Hillary has spent a shitload on her multiple makeovers. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:32 17
  - Oh hell yes. But I'm not comparing Sen. Clinton to Gov. Palin. - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:38 8
    - [deleted] 4
      - No ... what I'm saying is "don't be a hypocrite." - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:45 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Thanks for this visual :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:43
      - why *do* you wear that sombrero? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:42
    - Clinton has always tried to appeal to the working class. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:40 2
      - she's never claimed to be working class. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:42 1
        
        she actually has. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:45
  - And who paid for it? - Spawn Oct 22, 11:34 4
    - Obama. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:40
    - well, for awhile the US taxpayers were paying for her to campaign in NY. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:39 2
      - But not for her clothes. - Spawn Oct 22, 11:40 1
        
        And the US Taxpayers aren't paying for Palin either. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:45
  - she's needed them. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:32 2
    - and that started before she was even a candidate. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:33 1
      - yeah she needed to fire whoever dressed her as Dr. Evil. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:34
There was a GNR song at the end of the Body of Lies credits, was that from the new album? -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:29 3
- appears it was new -- (link) - ty97 Oct 22, 11:31
- If it was caterwalling, it was likely Russell and his band - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:30 1
  - no it was a new Guns song. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:31
"Rates in the country were cut in the Bush years." -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 11:28
Looks like they will play the GNR track in 4 minutes, if you care to stream Radio 1 -- (link) - ty97 Oct 22, 11:26 2
- RealPlayer? - con_carne Oct 22, 11:28 1
  - Yeah, for some reason, they only let you use WMP if you are in the UK -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:29
Ty97, if the song is Stuckler's Revenge or something akin, it's horrible. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:26 4
- Shackler's Revenge - G n' R (and yes, it does blow.) -- nm - Buzz Oct 22, 11:28
- I believe they said it's the title track from the album -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:27 2
  - (note: I have very low expectations, but I'm interested regardless) -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:27 1
    - let us know what you think - I am curious. I can not stream -- nm - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:29
How many "Joe the Plumber"s do you think we'll see this Halloween replete with plumber butt crack? -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:25 11
- I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to go as Palin. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:31
- I'm thinking about dressing up as Palin. I can really do the accent well. - Callisto Oct 22, 11:28 6
  - ooooo! Can I call you and judge? -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:38 2
    - yes, but I need to practice and figure out a speech. -- nm - Callisto Oct 22, 11:46
    - Leave that to ty97. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:46
  - See? That's all wrong. David should be Palin...you can be McCain. -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:36
  - You should go as Tina Fey being Palin. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:35
  - trying to convince my cow orker Rachel to do it. I think she could pull it off well. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:33
- No, no, no, see, I'm SLUTTY Joe the Plumber. -- nm - 42 wearing 36 Oct 22, 11:26 2
  - that's funny. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:35
  - eeeeewwwwww -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:27
Also gratifying to some extent is the McCain campaign's insistence that the clothes will be donated to charity after the campaign. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:25 13
- Nothing like a homeless women in a $1,200 suit. - Spawn Oct 22, 11:26 12
  - there are many charities that do this exactly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:48
  - it can be very useful for someone who's trying to get a good job to get themselves back on their feet. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:27 10
    - Nothing like being overdressed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:33 2
      - I donate my old suits to a charity that helps women find jobs. yeah, some of them are homeless. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:48
      - much better than being underdressed. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:35
    - We have a non-prof here in town called Dress for Success that does this very thing. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:30 2
      - we have them here as well. They do nice work. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:34
      - in particular I've noticed the Men's Wearhouse ads recently promoting it - znufrii Oct 22, 11:31
    - Or the clothes can be sold by the charity and then the proceeds would go to benefit the charity. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 11:29 1
      - sure -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:29
    - right. that, or you auction the clothes and give the cash to charity. I'm glad they are doing this. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:28 1
      - now, would they have done this had it not been noticed in the first place is an open question... -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:29
Jim has been women's suit shopping at Macy's -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:24 11
- nmbtyznuandfolkswholikemusicals: - Diva Oct 22, 11:32 6
  - That's is awesome. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:35
  - awesome. - znufrii Oct 22, 11:33 4
    - You want a dress from Macy's? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:37 3
      - I need something for halloween -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:38 2
        
        How long have you been in theater? Each year I open my closet and pick something out to build on -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:39 1
        
        as long as I've been in theatre I've never been much of a clothes horse. - znufrii Oct 22, 11:41
- He's dressing as Sarah Palin for Halloween -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:28
- Monday night. We have family pictures on Sunday, so we all have to be dressed apprpriately. - Jim Oct 22, 11:25
- That is why Amy wants to STmarry him. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:25 1
  - THAT ain't why!!! ;) -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:26
Andie - one of the reasons this story broke is that you're not allowed to spend campaign money on clothes. - Reagen Oct 22, 11:22 23
- [deleted] 16
  - It kind of goes against her claim of being small town (but hey, eventually she's gotta become Footloose) - Max Oct 22, 11:31 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - You can be my ST campaign reform husband. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:35 7

        speaking of, do you have that link handy to make a donation? -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:38 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        thanks! - znufrii Oct 22, 11:43 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Done. - znufrii Oct 22, 11:48 1

        are those the only choices? Khakis or Saks? -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 11:43
      - It's nothing more than a "ha haw!" from me. - Reagen Oct 22, 11:35
- She needs to look good when she is "in charge of the Senate" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:24 2
  - Hee! -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 11:27
  - *giggle* -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:24
- Can you wear a repurposed lawn sign? Is that allowed? -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 11:23
- ahhh, i'm actually surprised by that. i think its's a GOOD policy, but i am surprised. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:23 1
  - the fact that there are rules around campaign finance is shocking in and of itself :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:23
Just the picture. -- (link) - Mop Oct 22, 11:21 3
- put her and palin on a ticket together! -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 22, 12:11
- [deleted]
- Ok, so when I see pics like this, it comes to mind that I don't recall seeing these types of showings of support for - Jim Oct 22, 11:25
mandy, you have seen HSM2, right? -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 11:21 1
- If not, she'll be totally lost. -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 11:26
I have read the first 3 Twilight books. I have only liked about 1 and 1/2 of them. I have the 4th, but I don't think I can do it. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:20 8
- It's daunting. - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:23
