  - i agree...(spoil) - ShakenNotSterned Nov 7, 07:21
I have been google-ing but cant tell - did anyone do a version of "End of the World" prior to REM? -- nm - ShakenNotSterned Nov 7, 07:09 2
- Here's the Wikipedia page for the song. They wrote it, so I assume they sang it first. -- (link) - Mop Nov 7, 07:10 1
  - I was looking at that and would swear someone did it in the 60s but probably just wrong -- nm - ShakenNotSterned Nov 7, 07:22

One thing I hope last night's election proved to people is that a presidential candidate being anti the incumbent is not enough to win. - Inigo Nov 7, 06:58 10

- I disagree about the campaign bit... - ThunderProfit Nov 7, 07:08
- I read somewhere, possibly ST, that the Latino vote increased 43% this election. - Loyola Nov 7, 07:05 5
  - The Republicans need to realize that they need to reach women, Latinos and African-Americans with a compelling message. Otherwise, they're in trouble - Kim Pine Nov 7, 07:13 4
    - And that's not going to be easy to do, since they will have to reverse course on several issues that they've used to fire up their base to do it. - pmb Nov 7, 07:23 2

- It's not even the greatest movie in the series. nm - Jim Nov 7, 06:50 3
  - Prometheus FTW! -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 07:15

Halo 4 First Impressions - Master Kilbo Nov 7, 06:42 5
- I hated armour lock. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 07:25
- I think, based on Call of Duty, that customizable loadouts will affect results significantly. - volnelk Nov 7, 06:45 3
  - The most advanced weapons and stealth tools are useless in the hands of someone who can't predict what's around the next corner. - Beryllium Nov 7, 06:50 2

- My guess? We'll never hear anything about Willard again - prayformoJaws Nov 7, 06:42 3
  - I am amused that you think Willard is more laughable than Mitt. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 06:42 1
    - oh, totally - prayformoJaws Nov 7, 06:50
  - The really scary thing? - Reagen Nov 7, 06:42

    - Sure he was. He has an 8 string guitar playing on Fool For Your Loving. - David Nov 7, 07:21
    - that sounds like more of what I remember. -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 7, 06:55
Dear NYTimes.com headline writers, 332-206 and a "near sweep" of the swing states is not a "narrow victory" -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 06:33 3
