- what the hell? $1 in the header and $600 in the text? -- nm - crash davis Sep 18, 12:40 1
  - It's portland, so it's probably some kind of humanities course commentary on the perceived duplicitous nature of couches. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 12:54

  - which was indicated in my debate post -- (link) - Peglegpete Sep 18, 13:02 [Backboard]
- Poor on facts? That's always Unfavorable. -- nm - Max Sep 18, 12:53
- The more I know about her the less favorable it becomes. The Planned Parenthood rant and the lies she spewed in the debate really infuriated me. -- nm - pmb Sep 18, 12:46
- Unfavorable. I think the only 2 I have a positive'ish outlook on are Kasich, Rubio - Will Hunting Sep 18, 12:44 10
  - Kasich and Bush are the guys I could live with in a democracy-means-you-don't-always-get-your-way way. - Max Sep 18, 12:58 6
    - Bush strikes me more every day as a guy who is running because he's expected to. No discernable passion, no discernable policy reason - Will Hunting Sep 18, 13:00 3
      - He's Fred Thompson with financial backing. -- nm - ML Sep 18, 13:01 1
        
        Which is going to be amazing to think he's not the most underwhelming guy in the room. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 13:01
      - Fredo Bush. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 13:01
    - Agreed, although if there are republican majorities in both houses I get more uncomfortable. -- nm - pmb Sep 18, 12:59 1
      - Yep, just like Scott Walker was never going to be a rubber stamp for his legislature - jangles Sep 18, 13:04
  - Yeah, but Rubio ran away from it as soon as the conservatives squawked. I think Rubio has done a great job in the debates appearing reasonable and - pmb Sep 18, 12:51 2
    - Oh, I'm not saying he's a profile in courage but relative to the rest of the chickenhawks, actually trying to solve an issue is progress. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 12:54 1
      - Yes, but if you abandon your position as soon as it faces any push back you aren't really trying to solve the issue. You're just testing the room. -- nm - pmb Sep 18, 12:57
- U. Spectacularly so. -- nm - Reagen Sep 18, 12:40
- she sounds like she would start WW3, so U -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 12:40
- I haven't looked too closely. But the "Hillary has a casual relationship with the truth. Yay Fiorina!" is pretty funny. -- nm - Roger More Sep 18, 12:39
- Mixed, but slightly favorable. I'd like to see her and Kasich continue into the Republican primaries. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 18, 12:38
- crazytoons. nm - Dignan Sep 18, 12:38
- still unfavorable. (full disclosure: I did vote for her once, though, knowing she'd lose and mostly as a protest vote.) -- nm - b. Sep 18, 12:37 2
  - ...and look what that *one vote* resulted in! -- nm - prayformojo Sep 18, 12:38 1
    - *hangs head* I know, right? if she'd gotten one fewer, maybe she wouldn't be running now! -- nm - b. Sep 18, 12:39
- U -- nm - decline Sep 18, 12:36
- highly unfavorable, but I say that about most of the debate participants except Kasich - crash davis Sep 18, 12:35 5
  - He's the only one who doesn't scare me. The only one that doesn't seem irretrievably tied to conservative dogma. I guess other than Trump (who it's - pmb Sep 18, 12:49 1
    - For me, Kasich is in the same league as Romney, politically. Which is scary to me. - Covington Sep 18, 13:04
  - you're more of a Deez Nuts guy anyway -- nm - ML Sep 18, 12:35 2
    - I saw on twitter that Deez Nuts would choose the secret service codename ... - Beryllium Sep 18, 12:37
    - Republicans just talk tough, but Deez Nuts is ballsy -- nm - crash davis Sep 18, 12:37
- She's pretty - jangles Sep 18, 12:33
- Are we out of cornflakes again? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 12:33

good grief, in my google news feed there are two totally different stories about people hurling loved ones off a cliff -- nm - crash davis Sep 18, 12:29 2
- Hint hint -- nm - jangles Sep 18, 12:29 1
  - you're hinting the phrase loved ones was a poor choice, I agree. Consider it switched to family members -- nm - crash davis Sep 18, 12:32
The money is starting to line up behind a Biden candidacy. -- (link) - ML Sep 18, 12:27
It's appliancageddon at my house. New dishwasher being installed, seems something near our water heater is leaking and the dryer is basically acting - oblique Sep 18, 12:26 1
- Happy birthday!! -- nm - decline Sep 18, 12:28
RB Arian Foster ruled out for Week #2, but could play next week. -- nm - ML Sep 18, 12:24 7
- If he comes back and plays to Arian standards, best draft pick of the draft for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 12:46 6
  - if we are going to set the bar that low, why bother setting the bar at all? - crash davis Sep 18, 12:51
  - I grabbed him for Beaker in Cavemen, hope it pays off. -- (edited) - ML Sep 18, 12:47 4
    - I was very pleased. Thanks again -- nm - Beaker Sep 18, 13:20
    - Him making a reasonably good recovery allowed me some comfort in giving up Yeldon for Buffalo. - Will Hunting Sep 18, 12:53 2
      - I like that trade because Bama backs never fail in the NFL. -- nm - ML Sep 18, 13:16 1
        
        Given my ability to trade away talent, it's likely we've found the one who will do fine. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 13:21
