Jeter is pissed but all three of those strikes were great pitches. -- nm - David Oct 11, 19:00 1
- the third has some nice action on it -- nm - budice Oct 11, 19:01
ooh, now he's turning on Raddatz! -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:56
"Eagles QB Vick confirms he is again a dog owner" - David Oct 11, 18:54 3
- Well to be fair. We should only really worry if he owns two. -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 18:55 2
  - He could still take his dog to fight somebody else's dog. - ceregon Oct 11, 19:00 1
    - they have to be trained to attack so relentlessly, aggressively, that requires many victims -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 19:24
Biden's coming across as a total dick continually interrupting Ryan. -- nm - Stephen Oct 11, 18:53 19
- He's interrupting more, I agree, but when it's your guy and you agree with him, he doesn't seem like a dick, he looks like a fighter - Guigue Oct 11, 18:58 3
  - the problem of course is that the people who agree with you are already voting for you... -- nm - Ender Oct 11, 19:02
  - Exactly right. - Kim Pine Oct 11, 18:59 1
    - Twitter is abound with: "Ryan is pulling an Obama." -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 19:00

- Isn't that what Romney did? -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 18:56 1
  - What?! No!! -- nm - mara Oct 11, 19:01
- Sorry bud, but I beg to differ. His dismantling of Ryan is being done because it "appears he is correcting him." - MDH Oct 11, 18:55
- It's starting to break down. I agree. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 18:54 2
  - I'm not watching, but Glen Greenwald thinks it looks worse for Ryan because it makes him look weak and voters hate weak. - ty97 Oct 11, 18:59
  - yeah he needs to dial it down a little bit. -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 18:55
- I've noticed it much more with Ryan fwiw. -- nm - David Oct 11, 18:54 7
  - You can't be serious. - Stephen Oct 11, 18:57 6
    - There is a reason why the moderator has been hammering Ryan. -- nm - David Oct 11, 18:58 4
      - This. She knows he is lost. "But no specifics." - Martha Raddatz -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:59 3
        
        If only interviewer were more like that when they get access to high-profile politicians - Guigue Oct 11, 19:00 2
        
        Yup -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 19:01 1
        
        I vote we recruit Will McAvoy to moderate. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 19:01
    - they've both doing it, but Biden is certainly doing it more I believe. -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 18:57
Debate rule number 1 carved in stone: never, ever, invite a comparison of yourself to Kennedy. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:53
"Oh! Now you're Jack Kennedy?!" -- nm - TWuG Oct 11, 18:53
LYC: This is my first time out of work before 10PM in a more than a week. So happy about that. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:52

- Malarkey! -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 18:50
Ryan talking to the camera is 100x creepier than Biden talking to the camera. -- nm - nubby Oct 11, 18:49 2
- It actually scared me. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:50
- I just typed: "Ryan can't do Camera Look like Biden can." -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:49
Ryan has a tell. He swallows hard when something comes up that makes him uncomfortable. - David Oct 11, 18:47 3
- be he has a nautilus tattoo -- nm - Sean Connery Oct 11, 18:49
- the frequent sipping is noticable. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:48
- *ding* -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 18:48
Ooops, remember Thursday games. The guy I am playing in Money League has Darren Sproles starting (bye week) his two back on his bench as backups? - Bacon Oct 11, 18:45
Gotta love it how that lines drops so hard as soon as he says Obamacare. People like it Ryan. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:35
Jim Lehrer could take lessons from Raddatz -- nm - TWuG Oct 11, 18:35 1
- Lehrer was shaken by Romney wanting to cut PBS. - The liioulu with a capital t Oct 11, 18:36
Say it. "Bullshit." You know it's right on the tip of your tongue. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:33 2

  - 2 for 2 - Jovian Oct 11, 18:36
I have to say, if the road signs are accurate, I'm rather glad they past that shovel ready jobs stimulus a while back. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 18:31 4
- we needed it BADLY here in Indy. -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 18:34
- er 'passed' not 'past' though it was in the past. Lots of really nice upgrades to roads that needed them. And I think it continues. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 18:33 2
  - Ryan got a lot of highway upgrades in his district. And some of it on already upgraded roads. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Oct 11, 18:35 1
    - And more than a little of it completely unnecessary. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Oct 11, 18:38
Get out of the way - Jovian Oct 11, 18:31

- So is his limo driver -- nm - Bacon Oct 11, 18:31
- "so he'd like my trans am, eh?" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 18:29
- BMW probably. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Oct 11, 18:29 1
  - Right afterwards he tangeted to how Mitt Romney is paying for other people's kids college educations. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:29
I'm not watching but mom just said that Biden should be president instead of Obama. -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 18:27 1

Does Biden know he's not a Richard Pryor concert? -- nm - David Oct 11, 18:27

I'm hoping for one well timed zinger while someone is sipping out of their mug, resulting in a massive spittake on the table. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 18:10 2
- Biden's body language (when split-screened) is negating nearly everything coming out of Paul's mouth. He's great at keeping the focus. -- nm - MDH Oct 11, 18:12
- Ryan isn't that funny. -- nm - The liioulu with a capital t Oct 11, 18:11

Quick question: I know a lot of you guys have said that you didn't get a raise in the past years, by "no raise", do you mean - Guigue Oct 11, 17:55 10

- I think generally when people have said they didn't get a raise, they meant no increase of any kind. I don't know, I might be wrong. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 17:58 1
  - That's pretty much what I thought, I was just wondering since no raise ould pretty much mean you make less money in a year if cost of living increased - Guigue Oct 11, 18:03
- No raise, not for cost of living or anything else. - Kim Pine Oct 11, 17:57
