Speaking of The Voice...is there anything more awkward then when a judge turns their chair around and they show the family/friends reaction... - Jim Sep 25, 10:44 13
- Also...The Voice has had the wrong winner 2 seasons in a row now. - Jim Sep 25, 10:47 12
  - Judith Hill got sent out too early last season (I partly blame Levine). But I just saw an ad for a concert here. She is touring with Josh Groban. - crash davis Sep 25, 11:12 3
    - She's talented, but she managed to be completely soul'less in her performances - Will Hunting Sep 25, 11:19 2

  - I don't think last year's winner was a wrong, but Season 3 was abysmal. - Will Hunting Sep 25, 10:49 3
    - And watching Carson's awkward interaction with anyone is always fun. Plus, this year, Christina has been useful! - Will Hunting Sep 25, 10:50 2
      - I think Shakira was a warning to her -- nm - crash davis Sep 25, 11:13
      - well she's sober, so that helps -- nm - Epiphany Sep 25, 10:55
I'd read references to Ted Cruz reading Green Eggs and Ham during his speech, but I had no idea he thought it was an apt analogy for Obamacare. LOL. -- nm - mara Sep 25, 10:43 18
- I love that after it all he voted for cloture. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 10:54 6

    - That will be for the revised bill. This is to discuss the current one. -- nm - pmb Sep 25, 11:37
  - And it looks like the reason he stopped is that he had an appearance scheduled on Rush -- (link) - amoxy Sep 25, 11:05 1
    - and he complained about his Republican Senate colleagues “showboating” and making symbolic gestures for their constituents. - znufrii Sep 25, 11:09
  - L5! -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 10:55
  - LMFAO -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 10:55
- I don't like Obamacare. I don't like it with a health scare. I don't like it with no hair. I don't like Obamacare. - Beryllium Sep 25, 10:45 1
  - To the plan, he shows contempt. Though, with congress, he's exempt! Ted really wanted to defund it, but didn't kill - not even stunned it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 25, 11:09
- Doesn't the narrator end up liking those green eggs and ham just fine? -- nm - Roger More Sep 25, 10:44 8
