Mitt you want to wrap it up sometime this century? I want to watch Honey Boo Boo. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 20:13
Checks the IMDb to see Ann Romney's movie career that she gave up to marry Mitt. Nothing listed prior to 2012. To bad Mitt exported her job to Utah. - Under the Influence Aug 30, 20:03 1

Thank God it is Daily Show time. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 20:01

      - This is awesome. Now I want to bet someone. -- nm - David Aug 30, 20:10
    - I'm pretty sure this is a compliment. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 20:06
- Hey, they won a gold! -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 20:02
- That's not really fair to say. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 30, 20:02 5
  - The igloos don't even have time to melt in our summers, before the next snow fall. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 20:07 4

      - Duh, get a sports scholarship to a US school. -- nm - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:19 2

  - Chris Lloyd don't work cheap. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:57 4
    - aww, dammit -- nm - prayformojo Aug 30, 19:59 3
      - in fairness, I think your joke works better. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 20:00 2
        
        I'm fairly certain they cast this movie by just driving a van around town and clubbing vaguely-famous looking people on the head and throwing them in -- nm - prayformojo Aug 30, 20:05 1

*rolls over in grave* -- nm - Neil Armstrong Aug 30, 19:46
Chipolte should have subtracted 1-4 cents from each of their items prices. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 30, 19:45 5

- Wow Thanks Meg! Can I swipe this? (giving credit of course). I would love to share this information! -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:45 3

    - Thanks ever so -- nm - JenBro Aug 30, 19:58 1
      - Sfek - much! More inside - JenBro Aug 30, 20:02

In what country do its would-be-leaders not preach exceptionalism? - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 19:36 36
- See -- (link) - ty97 Aug 30, 19:38 [Backboard] 35
  - I promise you, even Swiss leaders preach Swiss superiority when at their political rallies. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 19:43 34
    - Come on, you know it's far more visible in US politics (on that front, I guess they are exceptionnal) - Guigue Aug 30, 19:51 30
      - It's more visible in US politics, because the US is the #1 country in the world. - Roger More Aug 30, 19:59 19
        
        How is the US the #1 country in the world? Do we rank countries solely on the amount of money they make now? - Guigue Aug 30, 20:01 8
        
        Countries are ranked by power - by what they can do. For example, America can launch two wars on the opposite side of the world simultaneously. They - Roger More Aug 30, 20:32
        
        We have the biggest grocery stores. -- nm - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:30
        
        The country with the third-largest population, the most general prosperity and the largest army will hold an election in two months.... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 20:04 5
        
        I think it's a little different. Canada is willing to admit that other countries are doing things better - Reagen Aug 30, 20:06 4
        
        Again, it's not that a lot of that comes down to having earned that right. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 20:10 3
        
        And yet, you rarely hear us say that we have the best healthcare system in the world, I've heard it more often from Americans - Guigue Aug 30, 20:13 1
        
        In some areas we barely rank ahead of third world countries. - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:32
        
        I think you're partially correct on that front - Reagen Aug 30, 20:12
        
        I don't think I agree. - ty97 Aug 30, 20:01 9
        
        I think it's an untested theory. We certainly have our moments of chauvinism. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 20:02 8
        
        I've heard from some Aussies and South Africans, that when they see Canadians abroad at pubs and such, always the loudest jackasses. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 20:05 7
        
        Heh - that goes completely against every Canadian stereotype I've heard -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 20:45 1
        
        "From other Canadians" goes unsaid? - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 20:48
        
        They were from Thunder Bay? - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:26
        
        I find that hard to believe from Australians - Reagen Aug 30, 20:09
        
        I wonder how they know they are Canadians? -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 20:07 2
        
        We like to think we're loved oversea... That's why we always have little flags on our bags, and we probably brag about it -- nm - Guigue Aug 30, 20:08 1
        
        (though of course, half of those are Americans) -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 20:09
      - I don't hear them putting Canada down. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 19:55 4
        
        When they say "The rest of the world", Canada is part of that - Guigue Aug 30, 19:57 3
        
        *shrugs* Canadians as a whole look down their noses a long way at Americans - openly - so it's tough to feel slighted. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 20:01
        
        If it helps, there are plenty of Americans that probably think you guys are a state! -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 19:58 1
        
        although the other portion think they surrended too fast in WWII. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:59
      - The most prominent example I ever saw was actually from Obama - Reagen Aug 30, 19:52 4
        
        It's the stereotypical American success story. Which why the Republicans keep pointing out they're the party of Lincoln. - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:25
        
        Oh yeah, it's not a republican thing - Guigue Aug 30, 19:55 1
        
        It's actually one of our strengths. - the liioulu without chrome Aug 30, 20:39
        
        Yup, it's certainly not one-sided, it's ingrained in us culturally. - ty97 Aug 30, 19:54
    - I have no strong feelings on this election one way or the other. -- nm - Swiss Political Leader Aug 30, 19:45 2
      - Tell my wife I said, "Hello". -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 19:46 1
        
        What turns a man neutral? Lust for gold? Or are you just born with a heart full of neutrality? -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 19:47
An excerpt from Romney's speech (early draft) ... - Beryllium Aug 30, 19:36 2
- Zombie Nixon! -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 30, 19:45 1
  - The point I was trying to make was ROBOT NIXON. :) - Beryllium Aug 30, 19:57
Project Runway spoilers - Dano Aug 30, 19:36
"No no no don't touch me!!!" -- nm - nubby Aug 30, 19:35
Snark moves way too fast nowadays. -- (link) - Tim Aug 30, 19:33
