If the republicans hate the media so much then why don't they not televise tonight's speech - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:34 2
- They'd lose their broadcast rights in a few minutes. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:35 1
  - Score!!! -- nm - Republicans Sep 4, 11:36
Hey, if TT is gonna be down, we need a Tron for SlackerTalk. -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 11:33 1
- Yeah, that feature will be implemented later. For now, you can just decrement the board ID to access old boards ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:34
Todd Palin introduces Cindy McCain and she says "Thank you Todd. I know 10 days you didn't know you'd be here and we're grateful to you for that. - CrankYanker Sep 4, 11:31 1
- "....10 days ago...." -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 4, 11:31
Is kare around? Some really nice dog pics I found on flickr -- (link) - oblique Sep 4, 11:26 [flickr]

- You just know she went to Guy's tat guy and asked for a butterfly. - Spawn Sep 4, 11:38 1
  - "undulating" might be diggie's finest word choice. -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:39
- I just realized that Nuditarian - or anyone for that matter - can link to NSFW material here without repercussions from HSX. - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:29 14
  - It may be time to up the ante on the hottie of the day. -- nm - Dano Sep 4, 11:33 1
    - oh sweet jesus - YES!! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 4, 11:34
  - www.redtube.com. Never pay for porn. You're welcome. -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 11:30 10
    - YouPorn.com has quickly (ppht) become my .com-du-jour. Or however you say "of the week" in French. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:32 7
      - Isn't this the board your wife posts on? -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:38 3
        
        she's -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:38 2
        
        she's "busy". -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:39 1
        
        So, as long as we roll 20 boards and no one links her to that post, you're fine! -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:40

Couple things from backboards: crash and David pick the Broncos? I don't even pick the Broncos this year. Cool. - Jim Sep 4, 11:25 5
- Commodore Power! -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 11:29
- It's like picking the Saints. Someone has to win the division. It doesn't mean I think any of them are good. - David Sep 4, 11:28 2
  - DOH! I'm gonna skip over this post and just remember the David picked the Broncos part. I think we have a shot... - Jim Sep 4, 11:30 1
    - i think your team has a very legit shot -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:31
- I should have picked the bolts, but I couldn't bring myself to it - so I stand by the Broncos -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:27
*phew* GF is back at work, so the issue is mostly resolved. The management company is apparently delayed in showing up, though. - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:22
A look at the experience each of the for candidates brings to the table: -- (link) - TWuG Sep 4, 11:22 18
- I don't even know what this means... -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 11:28
- hmm, thanks. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 11:27
- So Obama is the least experienced in the race? - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:25 15
  - wow -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 11:30
  - if all you care about is duration. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:29 2
    - Will's such a size queen. -- nm - Amy Sep 4, 11:33
    - I've got a pill that works wonders for that... -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 11:30
  - if you only look at governmental time as experience, sure. - tRuMaN Sep 4, 11:28
  - If you measure just government experience, sure. -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 11:27 9
    - I do; since it's a government job. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:28 8
      - I shall call you Fraskal Jr. -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:33 1
        
        *snork* -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:38
      - So ... a JD from a respected law school, and 12 years spent teaching constitutional law (part-time), count for nothing? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:31 3
        
        They count a lot! - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:33 2
        
        Ah yes ... because the President doesn't need to know squat about the constitution, as Bush and Cheney have proven ... - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:35 1
        
        Quality. - David Sep 4, 11:37
      - So all government jobs are equivalent and experience outside government isn't relevant? -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 11:29 1
        
        Since they ain't saying in any form "Entered the work force 21 years ago"....its the argument at hand. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:31
I utterly agree with Dano on the NFL divisional champs. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Sep 4, 11:22 [Backboard] 2
- Dangit. I was hoping to get at least one correct. -- nm - Dano Sep 4, 11:24 1
  - :-( -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 4, 11:25
so last night I cooked up some southwestern chicken casserole - tRuMaN Sep 4, 11:21 5
- and you didn't have me over for that? I love that stuff - you suck -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:29
- I made something similar - tapados de pollo. - Roger More Sep 4, 11:25 3
  - if you cubed the chicken and veggies, that sounds like it would be awesome over rice. -- nm - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 11:28 2
    - I had it with tortilla chips, which worked pretty well. -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 11:30 1
      - sounds great -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:32
New GZA disc is ridiculous. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 11:20 1
- Good to know. -- nm - Krusty Sep 4, 11:26
Did you see my response nub-b -- nm - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:19 2
- This is Slackertalk... do I still have to read *responses*?! -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 11:31 1
  - Ah, cool. Nice story. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 11:35
LIR: Both A) and B) and also C) Obama's skill set makes him a good match for such a job - con_carne Sep 4, 11:18 3
- i think mostly B, in as much that it looks good on any resume - political or otherwise -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:23
- I would say mostly A with a little bit of B - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:22 1
  - Even if it was all B (for future political gains)...what does it matter. He still did it and hopefully did his best at it. - Beaker Sep 4, 11:23
I have no idea what people are peeved about regarding obama and COs. I haven't seen the news all week - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 11:17 24
- sure, we can talk fashion. Vanity Fair estimated Cindy's outfit at $300,000 -- (link) - sgtmike Sep 4, 11:22
- I don't know, man. For me, when the RNC is on, it's usually "outrage time." -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 11:21
- What's a CO? Colorado? Corporate Officer? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:19 5
  - community organizaer - ty97 Sep 4, 11:21 3
    - He's been an organizer, a teacher, a lawyer, run a multi-million dollar campaign. -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 11:26
    - "He helped people!" "What a bastard!" -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 11:25
    - My wife said she wishes he had been a CEO or something with business. Then she'd feel better about voting for him. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:24
  - criminal offense! oh yeah! -- nm - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 11:19
- I'm guessing Sarah Palin was mocking Obama's experience in her speech last night - ty97 Sep 4, 11:18 12
  - It's not that bizarre. If they can draw O into a debate on who's more qualified, the Dems' Presidential candidate or the Reps' VP candidate... - Ender Sep 4, 11:21 9
    - they don't really have to get into the debate though, they can just sit on the sidelines and go with "clearly experience isn't nearly as big a deal as - mafic Sep 4, 11:25 5
      - That really only works though if McCain/Palin doesn't continue to push experience. -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 11:31 4
        
        Does the "executive experience" really, truly resonnate with anyone? - pmb Sep 4, 11:38
        
        every time it comes up: "it's not a big deal, they nominated Palin." -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:33 2
        
        That didn't work out so well when Kerry's swift boat response was "It's not a big deal, they nominated Bush". - Ender Sep 4, 11:39
        
        I'm not sure Palin undercuts McCain's experience argument any more than Biden undercuts Obama's argument for change. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 11:34
    - I think this is also a matter of opinion and what one considers "experience" but that's just me -- nm - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:23 1
      - Sure, but I think the point is that if they get drawn into the debate then who is actually more experienced becomes much less important than... - Ender Sep 4, 11:37
    - If her were younger, that might resonate better. - ty97 Sep 4, 11:23
  - As did Rudy, who introduced Palin -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 11:20
  - Her, and Rudy even more snarkily. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:20
- sure, what color is the new black? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 11:18 2
  - peacock and chocolate. nice question. next? -- nm - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 11:19 1
    - As in blue and brown? I figured that would be SO over by now. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 11:30
Bery, you should check with your local Conservative Org, they may want to buy pre-election ad space here for Harper :) - Beaker Sep 4, 11:16 1
- They might do a google ad buy ... that's the closest they would get, I think -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:17
honestly, if they're going to mock Obama for being a CO back in 1985, then Todd Palin's DUI is back on the table. - Guy Sep 4, 11:15 61
- even I think that's a stretch. - znufrii Sep 4, 11:29 2
  - i was hoping to illustrate how ridiculous the CO issue is to begin with. GUY FAIL -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:30 1
    - Start with the people actually in the race next time. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:35
- I hate this idea. -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 11:23
- Sarah Palin isn't using her then-boyfriend's DUI as experience on her presidential resume. -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 11:23 1
  - (I do, though, find it mildly interesting how Obama's camp just skips over the time between then and the state Senate.) - Ender Sep 4, 11:28
- oh, and since Vermin asked: here's what wiki says about his CO work - Guy Sep 4, 11:22 5
  - The point is, Guy, that it's not smart campaigning to claim experience as a CO... - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:25 4
    - i wasnt aware that Obama had hinged his campaign on those 3 years of his life -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:29 3
      - Sally, what you're not aware of could fill a warehouse. - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:32 2
        
        you're making it sound as if that was his only leg to stand on -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:36 1
        
        You misread. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:38
- Todd Palin isn't running for office. This is ludicrous logic. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:17 8
  - This. Is. Guy. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:18 7
    - He probably doesn't make the Top 5 most irrational TT political posters of 2008 . -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 11:20 1
      - Oh - That gives me something to shoot for! -- nm - Dano Sep 4, 11:22
    - Guy? No ... This. Is. MADNESS!! ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:18 4
      - I thought it was Sparta? -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:19 3
        
        no, David is the Spartan Redneck -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:20 2
        
        are you sure? doesn't he wear Spartan Elite armor? -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 11:28 1
        
        ... he had to trade his Hog for it -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:33
- ... really? That's the way you want to counter it, by bashing someone twice removed from the other side's candidate? - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:16 10
  - no, im just trying to grasp why being a CO is such a knock on Obama - Guy Sep 4, 11:21 4
    - Becuase it's a nebulous term that to many people, doesn't have actual accomplishments - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:22 3
      - so he should just never mention it? or call it something else? -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:32 1
        
        Actually name accomplishments like your Wiki link has. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 11:42
      - To most people, "garbage man" would have more meaning -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:23
  - let's get her slut of a daughter too! -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 11:17 4
    - *holds a fundraiser for knocked up teenage sluts* -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:23 2
      - "And with 2.5% compounding interest, that's $4.3 billion." -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:30
      - get rid of the "knocked up" and you'd get a better turn out...creepier but a full house for sure -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 11:25
    - Yeah! I bet Levi is just a smokescreen for Trig being the baby's father! - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:18
- Not when Obama's pre-political accomplishments are his CO activities. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:16 20
  - Let's see, he went to Harvard law, got a job at a big firm and decided to give that up to help his community. He also became a law professor at a top - pmb Sep 4, 11:29 5
    - Nice to ignore PTA, city council, and Governor of the largest state in the county. Eh, details, right? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 11:36 1
      - PTA totally should count! -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:39
    - you're leaving out PTA! that's key, you see... -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:33
    - This is the Occam's Razor a shocking number of people are trying to sidestep. -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:31
    - My post really wasn't a "he" vs. "she" except for "DUI" /= "community organizing" as issues. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:31
  - Palin's "pre-political" accomplishments were the effin PTA! she began her "political career" in 92. -- nm - Guy Sep 4, 11:20
  - What an idiotic comment. And Palin's pre-political accomplishments are... -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 11:19 4
    - this is the first link I've posted on slacker talk, so lets see if this works -- (link) - crash davis Sep 4, 11:22 3
      - Which is worse, the voice or the hair? Decision, decisions. -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:36 2
        
        Who cares? The Winnipeg Jets beat the Toronto Maple Leafs that night and that's what counts. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:39 1
        
        The Winnipeg whats? That doesn't sound like any NHL team I know. -- nm - David Sep 4, 11:42
  - that and teaching constitutional law. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:18 5
    - That's right too. Forgot. (Not challenging, just askin'....How long was that again?) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:19 4
      - wikipedia says 1992-2004 (though I imagine it was part-time for a lot of that). -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:22 3
        
        If I'm recalling correctly, one or two courses a semester at most. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:26 2
        
        most of my profs only taught one or two courses/semester, they just spent the rest of the time doing their own research. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:30 1
        
        Sure. I'm not knocking it. I legit forgot when I posted the line about CO only. But it really was a secondary project for him compared.... - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:35
  - just out of curiosity, what are her pre-political accomplishments? - tRuMaN Sep 4, 11:18 1
    - To you, DH and Guy....I'm not suggesting she is very experienced or anything like that. I was responding to the DUI comparison. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 11:28
- I'd think the AIP thing would hurt him more. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:15 5
  - Except the AIP thing was proven false. I think it was NY Times that used the AIP Chairwoman as source got it wrong... - Pete Sep 4, 11:18 3
    - not exactly. they retracted the story that she was a member, but he was twice for about 7 years, ending in (I think) 2002. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:20
    - They simply retracted that she was an official party member. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 11:19 1
      - ah yes! thanks for that...I knew I was forgetting something. -- nm - Pete Sep 4, 11:20
  - First, Obama being a community organizer shouldn't hurt him at all. Second, Sarah Palin has also been involved with and supported AIP. - Don Homer Sep 4, 11:18
- What does Todd Palin's DUI matter? -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 11:15 1
  - agreed -- nm - Gwaahjo Sep 4, 11:16
OHHHHH England! -- nm - Amy Sep 4, 11:14 1
- It's the equivelant of jingling keys over a baby's head. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 11:17
Hmph. The Chrome status bar cuts off too soon... I can't tell who the poster is when I mouseover the post. -- nm - Snarky Pseudo-nick Sep 4, 11:14 9
- Tell Bery. He needs to put the username as the first argument in the URL -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 11:21 2
  - imagunnahurtyou ... was it you who wanted them at the end of the URL? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 11:27
  - (this is hot.) -- nm - eighteen reasons not to pick mandy lane Sep 4, 11:23
- CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! -- nm - Conan Sep 4, 11:19
- I downloaded Chrime last night and didn't fall in love with it instantly. - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:17 4
  - That ISN'T your heart... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 11:23
  - it's fast, but until it has the functionality of the 20 odd add-on's I use, I'm sticking with the fox -- nm - decline Sep 4, 11:20
  - er - Chrome. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:17 1
    - maybe i downloaded Chrime. that could be the problem! -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 11:17
word. -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 11:12 2
- your mom. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 11:14 1
  - that would be 2 -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 11:14
