- She's gay -- nm - @babybean1128 Jan 17, 07:28 6

    - Uhm, think about what you said. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:42 4
      - no -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 07:51 3
        
        So, a chick that happens upon a naked Bea Arthur no longer wants men? -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:53 2
        
        (it was a joke) -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 07:54 1
        
        Do not mock Betty White. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 08:02
I don't think it's anyone's business to "out" people. That's private and what people do in their bedroom is no one's business, especially a reporter. - Krusty Jan 17, 07:26 5
- I don't think outing, say Anderson Cooper, is appropriate for a news organization simply because his being gay isn't relevant to his job. - TWuG Jan 17, 07:50
- I generally agree, that people shouldn't be outed, but in the political arena I think I disagree. When people have the ability and duty to affect - pmb Jan 17, 07:44
- Lindsay Graham voted to ban gay adoptions in DC (b/c congress controls us), and to ban gay marriage US wide. I'd out him in a second. -- nm - MDH Jan 17, 07:36 1
  - as bottled up as he appears to be, you know he has to be into something crazy dirty. -- nm - Reagen Jan 17, 07:41
- this. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 07:33
The "bribe" A-Rod supposedly sent Bosch is looking like just a clerical error -- (link) - Beaker Jan 17, 07:24 25
- Can we please have a party the day that the Yankees finally manage to drop this loser? -- nm - ty97 Jan 17, 07:32 14
  - They signed the contract, they should be stuck with him. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:43 2
    - Oh, they will still have to pay him for the remaining time cuz there's no incentive - Will Hunting Jan 17, 07:45
    - [deleted]
  - I'd assume that's probably going to be soon..... - Will Hunting Jan 17, 07:33 10
    - I agree. I think they just have to wait for the appeals/lawsuits to stop, then BOOM. - ty97 Jan 17, 07:37 9
      - I'd think sooner. Spring training. - Will Hunting Jan 17, 07:40 8
        
        I am guessing they *have* to wait until it's legally resolved before then can cut him. - ty97 Jan 17, 07:49 6
        
        It's a guaranteed contract....the only question if a court overturns the ban is if they owe him for 2014-17 or just 2015-17. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 17, 07:52 5
        
        That's a pretty important distinction in the bank account. -- nm - ty97 Jan 17, 08:14 3
        
        Yeah, but it's completely independent of him being affiliated with the Yankees. - Will Hunting Jan 17, 08:17 2
        
        If he plays in 2014, I don't think they cut him. - ty97 Jan 17, 08:21 1
        
        yup -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 08:22

  - can he use it in one of his lawsuits though? They had the info yet kept calling it a bribe -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 07:33
  - I could be wrong, but I don't think Deadspin gives a crap about any court hearings. - Jim Jan 17, 07:31 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - That's all that matters for the suspension...but not in the court of public opinion. - Jim Jan 17, 07:49 2

        At this point, I'm not sure he wants to do anything except tear down everyone else. - Jim Jan 17, 07:56

  - Deadspin has been hounding MLB and 60 Minutes over this since before the show even aired. -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 08:20
  - BURN THE CLERIC!!! -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:30
Would you like fries with that? -- (link) - znufrii Jan 17, 07:22
Outing is generally, in some small way, meant to be a shaming process. At least that's my perspective. So from that standpoint, it's not cool. - Beryllium Jan 17, 07:22 19
- [deleted] 17
  - I got pulled into a meeting so I didn't get to ask, but is it okay to out a Congressman that votes for gay marriage? - spamlet Jan 17, 07:41 10
    - LIR for Jack: Let's say it's a closeted gay man or woman that votes for gay marriage but hasn't come out for whatever reason. Is it okay to out them? - spamlet Jan 17, 07:43 4
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I'm just trying to figure it out (no pun intended) since it's not something I've had to deal with. -- nm - spamlet Jan 17, 07:49
      - I would hope that if someone voted for it and said they are gay but actually are not, that someone would out them. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:45 1
        
        Man, that would be a weird closet. No coordination, probably not even a walk-in. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 08:04
    - I guess it did get posted (I must have hit enter before I left). - spamlet Jan 17, 07:42 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Above is a bit of a reply. If they are closeted but don't vote against gay marriage is it okay to out them? - spamlet Jan 17, 07:45 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm not following. Your IM would be that he's voting consistent with his "secret". I think it is relevant in many ways if a person is voting for - pmb Jan 17, 07:54
  - who was the guy who came out a few years ago after having been a campaign guy for Bush and helped organize the 2004 round of state initiatives - Reagen Jan 17, 07:29 3
    - Ken Mehlman? -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 07:31 1
      - that sounds right. -- nm - Reagen Jan 17, 07:32
    - Karl Rove? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 07:30
  - Yes, but that's self-punishment, not an attack. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 07:27 1
    - Perhaps self-defense also describes it, or does a better job of conveying what I'm trying to say. - Beryllium Jan 17, 07:30
- It takes away the choice, which I always thought was just as shameful for the outer. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:24

best buy will price match *anyone*, right? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda, 778 Jan 17, 07:19 7
- not technically anyone. "local retail competitor's ...and... designated major online retailers" - Don Homer Jan 17, 07:22 5
  - If you have to have all that fine print? That tells me your prices are high to start with and I have to do back flips to get you to lower them. - @babybean1128 Jan 17, 07:27 3
    - there's a few scam sites that post dirt cheap prices but don't deliver unless you buy the over priced warrenty and the accessories that normally come - zeitgeist Jan 17, 13:35
    - Yeah, cause no one would try to job the price match policy. -- nm - Jim Jan 17, 07:32 1
      - Damn lawyers -- nm - @babybean1128 Jan 17, 07:33
  - Ah, better than I thought. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:23
- I thought it was any brick and mortar store? -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:20
YOUR ALL GAY! -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 07:17
*outs B2* -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 07:17 1
- Yes, I am a Brony. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 07:18
