        Toronto proper? Two after 2006. Mr. and Mrs Olivia Chow for the NDP. Tories = shutout. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 13:09 1

    - what about at home? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:52 2
      - I haven't been, no. I don't have a DVD player and I don't really like watching movies on the laptop. Also I don't have HBO etc. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 12:56 1
        
        It's like your into books or something. - JaxSean Feb 23, 12:57

      - a friend of mine took her husband's last name and he REALLY didn't want her to - same reason, her maiden name was great. - Andie Feb 23, 13:00 4
        
        Aside from the fact that I like her last name, she's also a real estate agent and I think there's really a premium on having a memorable name in that - pmb Feb 23, 13:03 3
        
        oh, totally. - Andie Feb 23, 13:08
        
        something to think about: I know many women who keep their name professionally, but use their married name legally/socially. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:06 1
        
        In that field there's very little distinction between professional and social life. It's all about contacts and networking in all areas. So it's not - pmb Feb 23, 13:09
      - hyphenate! it's a good combo, actually. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:59 1

  - never heard one. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:52 2
    - Her name was Regan in the movie. Still, weird no one ever brings it up. -- nm - Inigo Feb 23, 12:54 1
      - Yeah, I know, I'm just saying no one's ever made one. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:55
  - by the mid 80s, people were making Ron Reagan jokes while watching the Exorcist. - loosilu Feb 23, 12:51
- "Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks." -- nm - Michael Bolton Feb 23, 12:48

  - Mine runs along the line of "Yeah, but all the drugs and partying turned me into a dumpy white guy." -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 12:52 2
    - what's your real name? -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:53 1
      - (spoilers) - TaurusII Feb 23, 12:55
  - I may steal that. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:49 4
    - I still can't think of a comeback. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:50 3
      - scrunch up your face and go "waaaahh!" -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 12:51 2
        
        you know, I've tried that and it doesn't work as well as you think it should. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:52

    - there was a time last year when I was writing something called and EXPLAN. imagine what happened. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 12:50 1

Can someone convince me that "Kelo v. City of New London" was a good ruling? -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 12:44 7
- [deleted] 5
  - that doesnt mean it was a good ruling, just because it ended up having an incidental positive effect -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 12:50 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - that's irrelevant to the claim that a positive incidental effect means it was a good ruling. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 13:08 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        then just f*cking say so in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 13:20
