- I'll be shopping. I love Black Friday/Thanksgiving night shopping. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 08:45
- Not terrible. It's a mess, but if you know what you want and are willing, you can save a ton. If you don't have anything going on, why not? - volnelk Nov 13, 08:30 3

Episode 7 IPOs Saturday for $200? Doesn't that feel low? -- nm - volnelk Nov 13, 07:41 9
- Yeah, but they don't IPO things much north of that becuase it's still a 2+yr hold for a movie stock that likely won't do much more than double... - Will Hunting Nov 13, 07:51
- depends, Clone Wars didn't do great guns as I recall; and who knows how they do episode 7... -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 07:42 5

    - I doubt it, but who knows -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 07:43 2
      - it IS Disney afterall :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 07:44 1

    - So these are the REP MWCs? - Mel Profit Nov 13, 07:53

    - I would guess so... - Mel Profit Nov 13, 07:51
Pelosi considers stepping down as House Democratic leader... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 13, 07:38 7
- 2 years late. -- nm - Jovian Nov 13, 07:40 3
  - Not sure why you think that. She did everything in her power when they had power to move things on. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 07:53 2
    - I know. I just think she should have stepped down when her party got thrashed in 2010 -- nm - Jovian Nov 13, 07:57
    - this -- nm - Spawn Nov 13, 07:53

CQ: she does realize NC gets hurricanes more often than you normally do, right? -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 07:28 14

      - I think it's the law in NC...it's why I left. (the not really nm) -- nm - Jim Nov 13, 07:39

    - dude, would totally suck. I don't care what anyone says, I love me some drunken gay mexican every now and then -- nm - CQ Nov 13, 07:57

  - charlie and I think she looks kind of octomom here. -- nm - amanda Nov 13, 08:25 1
    - she looks a lot older than her age. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 08:27
  - "General John Allen sent her up to 30,000 'inappropriate' emails" 30,000?!?!? That is quite a few. -- nm - volnelk Nov 13, 08:03 1
    - so, 100 a day for nearly a year? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 08:20
