        It's maddening. There's one rabbit and I watch everyone run after it. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:19 6
        
        the only thing that drives me nuts, is that people keep capping the third point. - groiny Aug 31, 09:20 5

why not build a wall along the Atlantic and Pacific sea coasts too? -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 08:51 40
- Because it's illegal to talk about anything to do with global warming and that's what building a wall on the east coast implies -- nm - Hannibal Aug 31, 13:10
- That was jangles's idea. He's the only one who can save us from the kaiju. -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 31, 09:13

        I'm actually shocked by how poorly he's done. After his soft-launch in January, he had homework - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:23 6
        
        I'm still confused how, with all the nutjobs in there, he was the only one to call for a Gay Marriage Amendment. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 09:25 5
        
        His goal has seemed to be to stake out the positions as far right as possible. And in a field with these guys that takes some effort. It seems an - pmb Aug 31, 09:31 1
        
        Right, his path was from the center as a serious pragmatist. His advisors should never be allowed inside the gateway again. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 09:39
        
        That's a great question. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:28 2
        
        Bush, Rubio, Fiorina, and Kasich have been playing the grown-ups so far. - Ender Aug 31, 09:36

        Rubio seems to be the only person not chasing after Trump in some form. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:15 2
        
        How are we defining "chasing after Trump"? -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 09:29

    - sorry migrating animals, you will just have to deal. - Andie Aug 31, 08:56
    - I'm just saying, we need to deal with immigration first, then we can deal with global warming. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 08:55

    - are you allowed to play cards with other waiting jurors? travel scrabble? -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 08:55 4
      - Yeah. I'm over in the 'quiet' area. The area where they play cards and stuff is a little too 'public' for my tastes. -- nm - Volnelk, live from the County Courthouse Aug 31, 09:05
