The one thing that bothers me about Agents of SHIELD is how these organizations with apparently immense reach seem to have very few admin staff. - Max Dec 2, 08:13 10
- J.A.R.V.I.S. and the rest is buried in Stark Industries subsidiaries -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 2, 13:01
- and no hot summer interns -- nm - sweet baboo Dec 2, 08:21
- Spoilers - David Dec 2, 08:17
- there are usually red shirts walking around the background of scenes at SHIELD's HQ. And hopefully Taskmaster is doing the Hydra recruiting -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 08:16 2
  - What I mean though is I thought the storyline had both orgs decimated to the point the main cast was all that was left. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 08:17 1
    - Fury had SHIELD set to survive, though. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 08:18

        I limit myself to no more than three windows of vulnerability each year. - Spawn Dec 2, 08:05 1
        
        To be fair, I don't hear it much anyway. Fairytale of NY...I'd be knocked out everyday. -- nm - Loyola Dec 2, 08:09

Looking at the semifinalists for the pro football HOF, sure, it'll be whittled down in a bit, but what 5 do you put in off this list? - Jim Dec 2, 07:37 8
- Favre, Pce, Jimmy J, Boselli and Morten Anderson -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 07:45
- It absolutely kills me that at this rate, TD will never get in. And neither will Atwater. - Jim Dec 2, 07:44 2
  - Because they only allow 5 people per year. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 07:46 1
    - At some point, you'd think they would have to do something to clear that backlog, but it doesn't look like they ever will. - Jim Dec 2, 08:00
- There are at least 12 guys who should be but I'd go with Favre, Boselli, Pace, Morten and Lynch first -- (edited) - Will Hunting Dec 2, 07:41

The irony of the entire situation is that Hilary Clinton is the ideal Republican candidate. - David Dec 2, 07:23
Jack, are there really Dems who 'hate' Hillary to the degree that they wouldn't show up if she were the nominee? -- nm - emoticripple Dec 2, 07:22 11
- I think there are at least three groups of these voters... - Roger More Dec 2, 07:28 7
  - I don't disagree that all these groups exist (and sit in a pretty tight Venn diagram), but I question whether any of those feelings trump (NPI) the - emoticripple Dec 2, 07:31 6
    - You're assuming voting is binary...there's the 3rd viable option to just not vote. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 07:37 5
      - I guess I take it as binary to either vote for the Dem nominee or not vote. I don't see anybody disaffected because Hillary isn't sufficiently overtly - emoticripple Dec 2, 08:18
      - I think that's really the point though. In the end, most dems are going to support the nominee just to avoid a republican winning. -- nm - pmb Dec 2, 07:45 3
        
        The issue has never been will self-identified Dem or GOP voters turn out, but whether - TWuG Dec 2, 07:50
