- I get where she was going with the ad, but I think she misses how unrealistic that is more many people. - ty97 Oct 15, 07:54 2

    - I'm not saying people aren't going out of their way to be offended by it, but I don't think this is that strange at all -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 07:51 3
      - it is no different than the Gatorade ads, or Nike Ads, UnderArmor ads, - groiny Oct 15, 07:55 2
        
        it's different in the sense that it's coming from a person, not a corporate brand, so people are more likely to take it personally -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 07:59 1
        
        In a sense, she *is* the brand. Sure, people will be offended, but only the most sensitive. - Mop on Macbook Air Oct 15, 08:02
    - i agree. the people who are calling her a 'bad mother' etc, are really far more nasty. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 07:50

- The riff on JJ Fad is pretty fantastic. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 07:19
- Yeah, it ended in years ago after his last decent album. The song is getting trashed, as it should. Minus his rap speed, the lyrics are awful. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 07:14 2
  - His last album Recovery was pretty damn solid. The 2 prior, notsomuch. - Jim Oct 15, 07:20 1
    - Calling this Marshall Mathers LP 2 is almost blasphemy. MM is my favorite rap album ever. So far the new material is beyond weak. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 07:21

  - ready = reading -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 07:07
- @robertcostaNRO House bill moving through rules later today, vote tonight -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 06:51
- @BenjySarlin Key principle for Ds is they get something in a deal (ie reinsurance) so it wasn't a "ransom." House plan fails test. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 06:48 1
  - Yep.....give us only 10% of what we wanted initially as payment for us doing our basic responsibility. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 07:41
- And to MDH below, I bet the House is totally trying to put their Bill out (maybe even first) to say "See, WE fixed this crisis!" -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 06:47 1
  - Oh obviously. But they don't quite get it still. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 06:49
- ‏@robertcostaNRO Member txts from rm: "john doing what he can. this is his only play right now. could never move on sen deal w.o. being finshd." -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 06:46
- So it sounds like it drops the reinsurance fee (which I think was a concession to Dems?) and adds partial Vitter. - ty97 Oct 15, 06:42 2
  - clarification - ty97 Oct 15, 06:43 1

  - Hasn't that been the problem all along? -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Oct 15, 06:35 2
    - Note to GOP: Putting forth your bill will not magically make the country think you are trying to end the shutdown. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 06:37 1

  - He's okay, it's his choice of scripts that's suspect. - the liioulu with insects Oct 14, 21:37
  - I think I'd like him better if he just gave in and embraced the wackadoo like Tom Milson. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 14, 21:36 3
    - But Mison can do it with just a twitch of the eyebrow. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Oct 14, 21:38 2
      - Sure. The point being that Mison knows exactly what kind of show he's in. Jones seems like he's still trying to play it straight. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 14, 21:40 1
