  - hell, the issue that decided 2008 didn't crop up until 2 months before the election. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 07:09
  - It's the primary issue in the 2010 elections, which are all that matter right now. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 07:09
- What I want to know is, why does Mitch McConnell hate America? - znufrii Feb 3, 07:06 12

  - Protectionism turns recessions into depressions? -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 07:08 4
    - But if we are going to use tax-payer money, shouldn't it be to help US workers? - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 3, 07:15 1

      - Protectionism in the 1930's was widely acknowledged to have exacerbated the worsening economic climate. How's that. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 07:12

what st needs is some type of scrolling list of people who say crazy things - tRuMaN Feb 3, 06:27 4
- isn't ST=a scrolling list of people who say crazy things? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 3, 06:34 2
  - sorta. but they can get lost, this needs to be on every page, so that everyone sees the crazy. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 3, 06:35 1
    - I'm telling you, add things to promote/bury posts that you like or don't like and you can have a running sidebar of the "best posts" -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 3, 07:11

- I hope people realize that there's a big margin between "great" and "greatest ever" - Strongbad Feb 3, 06:00
- I will say that this is the best two year period for Super Bowls ever. It'll be hard to beat that combo. -- nm - Inigo Feb 3, 05:53 6
  - Depends on your point of view really. Because to me...the best 2 game Super Bowl stretch was XXXII and XXXIII. -- nm - Jim Feb 3, 06:16 4
    - I think these were the most enjoyable for the objective fan. If your team won the Super Bowl, of course that's gonna be your favorite. -- nm - Inigo Feb 3, 06:25
    - My favorite was XXXI. *wipes drool from chin* -- nm - John Madden Feb 3, 06:22 2

UK cricket team can't call itself "Crusaders" -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 3, 05:25 1

I'm close to dropping Heroes from my DVR recording list. I'm just way too behind on things to watch and it's just not something I look forward to. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 04:56 4
- That's how I came to do it last Fall. I was watching an ep and I just said "I don't care about this anymore." Why am I wasting my time when I have - HdnAgnda Feb 3, 05:30 3

- It's a little disappointing...not quite "I did not have sex with that woman" or "Iraq has WMDs" disappointing - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 3, 04:53 4
  - Would there be enough warm bodies to fill all the posts, though? ;) -- nm - nubby Feb 3, 05:48 2
    - and just because they've associated with lobbyists in the past does not mean their future work will be tainted by it - znufrii Feb 3, 06:10 1
      - More of the way he made the appointments THEN made the new rules -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 3, 06:52

  - hope it works out for you. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 04:52

The "3D" effects in Chuck were weak, but that urinal cake gag killed. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 2, 22:35 3
- Watching it without the glasses sucked because of the colors. They should stop trying to be fancy. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 2, 23:00 2
  - the whole "3D episode" gimmick annoys me, but what annoys me more is Redmond quitting it after 14 minutes. Geez. That's probably not even enough time - Beryllium Feb 2, 23:41 1
    - Ah, poor Redmond--He's an "According to Jim" living in a "Robot Chicken" world. -- nm - Trish Feb 3, 00:43

    - was that the one with ashley judd? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 23:23 1
      - If so, I didn't recognize her. I'm sure there is a Trek Wiki I could look it up on, but I'm so not that geek. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 23:48
