    - Well duh. They will get deported first. -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 07:54 1
      - you can't have "Puerto Ricans* living there if it becomes a state! -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 7, 07:56
  - Then we have to figure out how to make 51 stars not look weird :) -- nm - ShakenNotSterned Nov 7, 07:53 5
    - Add D.C. and make it an even 52. My even number obsession would appreciate it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:56 2
      - NO! -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:57 1
        
        They deserve equal representation in this country. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:58
    - Yeah, this just looks so weird. -- (link) - mara Nov 7, 07:54
    - 3 designs -- (link) - Reagen Nov 7, 07:54
- statehood. Would love to see a new flag in my lifetime. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 07:51 1
  - nm -- (link) - Loyola Nov 7, 07:56

Go Oklahoma (Drug screening required for welfare) -- (link) - Capstern Nov 7, 07:46 23
- Waste of money for a problem that truly didn't exist --- is the real-world outcome. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:51
- terrible idea, huge waste of money. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:50
- Just an awful idea. It doesn't work and ends up costing the state money. Terrible decision. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:49 7
  - I am more commending the fact that at least they are trying something -- nm - Capstern Nov 7, 07:50 6
    - Then try job training and apprenticeships programs. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:53
    - Why? It doesn't work. It will be a waste of money and resources better spent elsewhere. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 07:51
    - but if trying just ends up costing tax payers way more money, how does that help? -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 7, 07:51
    - but why do they need to try anything? -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 07:50 2
      - because so many welfare queens are obviously all drunks and addicted to crack or else they wouldn't be on welfare. -- nm - Deev Another Day Nov 7, 07:54 1
        
        they pop out kids just to get more welfare, too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:55

  - No, they actually passed the law. -- (link) - mara Nov 7, 07:51 2
    - interesting - seems the ACLU is going to file a lawsuit in every state that votes it in -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:55
    - and guess who owns the drug testing company? -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:55
  - It only catches pot heads since most other drugs are out of your system rather quickly. It also ignores people that have an alcohol problem. - Krusty Nov 7, 07:50 5
    - Oklahoma has a huge - HUGE meth problem - I'm not sure if that is what they are aiming for - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:52 3
      - Interesting... -- nm - Walter White Nov 7, 07:57
      - Meth is out of your system in 1-5 days. They won't catch them unless they used very recently. - Krusty Nov 7, 07:54 1
        
        I don't think there is a test out there that someone hasn't figured out how to beat -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:57
    - yeah, pretty much -- nm - decline Nov 7, 07:50
  - Like that really matters to people? -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 07:49
  - Well still I like to see people try :) -- nm - Capstern Nov 7, 07:49
  - Right. One thing about drugs: they're expensive. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 07:48

So was anybody watching ABC news last night? Apparently Diane Sawyer was drunk. They were playing clips of her on the radio this morning. - pmb Nov 7, 07:34 9
- Local radio was doing the same. They compared it to last election (where she did the same thing apparently). It was hilarious -- nm - decline Nov 7, 07:39
- That's awesome! I will have to youtube it when I get home tonight -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 07:35 5
  - Here's a story with video. -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 07:40 4
    - Sorry. Here's the link -- (link) - pmb Nov 7, 07:40 3
      - For me the evidence is less about the slurred words and more that stare into the camera. I have seen that stare before. - Bacon Nov 7, 07:45 2

Man sues wife over ugly baby (OMG awesome) -- (link) - Capstern Nov 7, 07:33 3
- and he WON! -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 07:34 2
  - That was the best part. She faked him out with plastic surgery...really. He needs to watch Chris Rock stand up -- nm - Capstern Nov 7, 07:43
  - Shouldn't effect that kid at all. "Hmm. why does that name sound familiar? Oh that's right, your dad sued your mom because your face made him sick" -- nm - volnelk Nov 7, 07:36

We will be hearing about the Tea Party as a thing at the very least until 2016 - Reagen Nov 7, 07:30 3
- [deleted]

- If you're Mitch McConnell, do you want to see Jim DeMint in your path or not? - Will Hunting Nov 7, 07:39
54% in Puerto Rico voted to become the 51st State in a non-binding referendum -- (link) - Beakraker Nov 7, 07:30 4

Well definitely no sour grapes in my office today. Everyone here is pretty much thrilled -- nm - Jovian Nov 7, 07:29 5
- this is another reason I'm glad I'm off today. I just don't want to know who the red people are. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 07:33
- no one gets excited about these things in my office but let them run out of coffee and they will kill a temp from pure rage -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:32

LIR: mafic. Armor lock was my go to defense and gave me quite a few close combat kills after dropping an opponents shields in melee - Master Kilbo Nov 7, 07:28 10
- After loading both discs to the hard drive it was too late to play so I just peeked at it. Will be on tonight, though. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 7, 07:57
- it just irritated me. "oh no, someone's about to kill me. I'll use my magic invincibility spell." -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 07:43 3
  - I got a bunch of Ghost splatter kills last night, thanks to no Armor Lock. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 07:44 2
    - We're going to need a new definition of "kilbo-ing" -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 7, 07:50 1
      - like we're going to forget about the pets on the bed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:54
- That pop up shield isnt very effective, imo. You can just throw grenades behind them or at their feet, & it slows you down. Way different than lock. -- nm - volnelk Nov 7, 07:31
- armor lock single handedly killed Halo Reach for me. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 07:28 3
  - I was getting used to and starting to use effectively the promethian vision. It's pretty nice for gauging grenade throws around corners or to ambush - Master Kilbo Nov 7, 07:35 2
    - I like that it is a quick scan and then it shuts down. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 07:37 1
      - My only problem was pushing the button in heated combat because I'm so used to hitting armor lock :) -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 7, 07:37
Here ya go, spamlet - Bacon Nov 7, 07:27 15

- Nice -- nm - ShakenNotSterned Nov 7, 07:51
- priceless. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:40
- "its" not "it's" -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 7, 07:36
- He's going to be so disappointed as the economy continues to improve. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:31 3
  - This is almost why I wish there were followup political commercials a couple years later. - volnelk Nov 7, 07:39 2
    - that would be a great idea -- nm - Beakraker Nov 7, 07:41 1
      - "See? Iran? Not even close to a bomb, Remember that." -- nm - volnelk Nov 7, 07:45
- So happy I am not on Facebook. I would not be able to control myself. -- nm - Jovian Nov 7, 07:30
- good luck with that. -- nm - Moneypandie Nov 7, 07:30
- Awesome. -- nm - spamlet Nov 7, 07:29
- Hypocrisy beyond belief, even just within the statement. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 07:29

- oh. my. -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 7, 07:29
