CSPAN radio is replaying a debate between Linda McMann and Mr. Murphy for congress in CT. I don't know which parties they are, but it sounds like - Max Oct 12, 11:14 2
- McMahon is a Republican. Somehow, she's doing better this year than she did in 2010. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 11:15 1
  - She made some claim and the audience broke their silence to boo/murmur. -- nm - Max Oct 12, 11:20

grim story - woman gives birth in Ottawa prison, guards ignore her labour screams for hours. -- (link) - Andie Oct 12, 11:11 2
- I like how they say they now want to "determine whether proper procedures were followed." Cuz maybe they were! Anything's possible! -- nm - mara Oct 12, 11:15 1
  - i know. i mean, why even say such a stupid thing. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 11:16
'Friday Night Lights' Creator Accuses Mitt Romney of Plagiarism -- (link) - Todd Manning Oct 12, 11:06 4
- So that phrase is not in the book? Because the author has endorsed Romney. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 11:16
- I thought at first this might be Buzz, which would have been hilarious after the other day. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 11:14 1
  - That was my first thought too. So now... - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 11:16
- It's a little late in the game for this. -- nm - David Oct 12, 11:10
Has the All Star Celebrity Apprentice cast been announced here yet? - Jim Oct 12, 11:04 14
- Oh fun. I hadn't heard about this. - Strongbad Oct 12, 11:06 12
  - Not sure they can get enough "names" to play Celebrity Survivor. -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 11:06 11
    - These are all great suggestions, kids, but as someone who's kept Julie Freaking Chen on the air, I dont think I need advice on how to run a TV network -- nm - Les Moonves Oct 12, 11:12
    - That was my thought. Sure they could get a bunch of D listers (Looking at you DWTS) but they probably do not want to taint it with that. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 11:10 2
      - absolutely. they cant do it unless its at least B listers. -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 11:10 1
        
        I agree it's not worth the effort if they get the Apprentice/DWTS level cast. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 11:11
    - if they made it for A listers and made the prize $5 mil for a charity of their choice, and premeired it after the Superbowl, itd be the most watched - Jovian Oct 12, 11:09 2
      - most watched, yes. but celebrities guard their 'brand' fiercely (for good reason). very very very few A Listers would do this. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 11:10 1
        
        oh I agree. its just a pipe dream. its also why it hasnt happened unfortunately - Jovian Oct 12, 11:14
    - Which is the sad part, I know. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 11:07 3
      - If they could get enough, though...they could bring back Jimmy Johnson, Jeff Kent and Lisa Welchel as "returning" celebrities to lead their tribes. h -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 11:08 2
        
        Make it a big prize to charity and I bet you'll have some sign up. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 11:09 1
        
        At the bare minimum you'd get a half dozen retired athletes. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 11:13

- 100,000 -- nm - CQ Oct 12, 10:55
- Probably 250. But according to Coolio, thread count doesn't always correlate with quality. -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 10:49 4
  - I know this to be true -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 11:16
  - Coolio is right. Thread count is a Western marketing ploy. The quality of the cotton and the production are the most important things to consider. - Diva, LCM Oct 12, 11:05 2

"Buy-sexual" -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 10:13 3
- We all joked in high school that we were tri-sexual. - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 10:15 2
  - joked? -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 10:21
  - "hardy-har-har" was the traditional response, I believe -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 10:17
Nothing will make me happier than seeing the Yankees AND the Nationals lose today - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:12 12
- Let's all remember since like July, Strasburg was a 7-7 with a 3.50 ERA pitcher...it wasn't like they set down 1999 Pedro ffs. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 11:01 2
  - They bent over to the will of Dr. Scott Boras. That's all that needs to be said. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 11:05 1
    - And the doctors and so forth. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 11:15
- Prepare to be 50% disappointed. -- nm - David Oct 12, 10:21 8
  - Which one do you think is losing? -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 10:58 7
    - Evil. -- nm - David Oct 12, 11:00 6
      - Given the Yankees and Cardinals are playing.....you need to be more specific. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 11:01 5
        
        There is one true evil this postseason. - David Oct 12, 11:04 4
        
        Why does that make the team evil? It's not like we called it...we just played the game. -- nm - Jim Oct 12, 11:08 3
        
        Eeeeeeeeeeeevil. -- nm - David Oct 12, 11:11 2
        
        You realize the infield fly rule was our karmic retribution for Denkinger. - Jim Oct 12, 11:13 1
        
        He's just pissed that he can't get a Kent Hrbek make-up call somewhere in the 20years since. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 11:16
Biden blames intelligence for the administration's changing account of Benghazi -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:11 17
- And I'll be curious if anyone presses him about "we never heard" any requests for extra security. - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 10:14 16
  - I enjoyed Ryan's look when it was brought up that the House Republicans nixed... - Mel Profit Oct 12, 10:23 11
    - The State Department has said that the cuts had nothing to do with the security, or lack thereof, at the embassy. - Stephen Oct 12, 10:29 9
      - Do you have a source for that State Dept quote? I'm not seeing it. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 10:46 8
        
        I'm seeing this attributed to Charlene Lamb. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 12, 10:50 7
        
        Yes. ML posted it the other day. -- (link) - Stephen Oct 12, 10:53 5
        
        and what's the rest of her answer? - Mel Profit Oct 12, 10:57 4
        
        Still looking for the rest of that answer, but here's a link to other testimony by her (wherein she is pinpointed as the one who denied the requests - Stephen Oct 12, 11:06 3
        
        So a request for additional resources, per her, wouldn't have been correct. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 11:10 2
        
        Actually I think it would be more accurate to say that she refused to extend the US security forces that had been there, despite the requests of those - Stephen Oct 12, 11:18 1
        
        You have to *want* to see it. ;) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 11:20
