I wish I knew how to draw worth shit. - znufrii Mar 14, 10:24 2
- *beep beep beep beep beep* -- nm - oxymoron detector Mar 14, 10:26
- stick figures are funny -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 10:25
Trump calling into CNN again. They've got to stop this. -- nm - iSpam Mar 14, 10:15 1
- Why ever would they do that? Journalistic integrity over ratings? hahahaha -- nm* - ty97 Mar 14, 10:19
Mark Sanchez: "This is one of the best organizations in sports, not just sports." - ML Mar 14, 10:13 1
- *smiles* -- nm - iSpam Mar 14, 10:16
Give percentage odds: Does Rubio drop out this week? Does Kasich drop out this week? -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:11 8
- Rubio dropping out: 80% confident he will. Kasich dropping out: 95% confident he won't. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 14, 10:28
- 100%, 0%. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 14, 10:25
- Rubio yes, Kasich no. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:16 1
  - Kasich needs to drop out tomorrow if he can't win Ohio (where he got reelected with 64% in 2014), but he won't. -- nm - Tim Mar 14, 10:26
- I think they're staying in until Trump gets the magic number. - David Mar 14, 10:12 2
  - Personally I think Rubio is D-U-N after he gets destroyed in Florida. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:13 1
    - Yep. If he had any chance, it was going to be there. (I really wish I could see the alternate timeline where Christie ignored Rubio in that debate.) - Name Withheld by Request Mar 14, 10:26
- Yes, no. -- nm - ML Mar 14, 10:12
There is a distinct lack of pie here -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 10:02 3
- Note: this is totally unrelated to being stalled out in the biggest loser tracking - oblique Mar 14, 10:06 2
  - There was pie included with my dinner at Marie Callenders on Friday. I asked for it to go to have for breakfast....... - Meg Mar 14, 10:14 1
    - Had to eat the Doubletree cookie for breakfast :) -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 10:15
So does Rubio have any chance to repackage himself in 8 / 12 / whatever years when the GOP regrets Trump? Or is he damaged for good? -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:00 15
- He's not done for good, but he needs to find a good position to work himself back in. Fox News is not the answer for Rubio. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:07
- He has a chance, but this sort of resounding rejection is difficult to overcome. - David Mar 14, 10:06 5
  - I do wonder if he even wants to ever put himself through this crap again or if he's like "screw politics forever" -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 14, 10:09 4
    - Nixon came back, but Rubio has a lousy do nothing record -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:15
    - he's just another grifter who saw this cycle as his perfect shot to be GOP Obama against Hillary. - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:12
    - He's an empty suit, so I don't understand why he ever ran for office. - David Mar 14, 10:10 1
      - It's all he's ever done, NPR rerun an interview of a 20yo Rubio working on republican latino, Cuban outreach -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:13
- Sure. He's young, still widely popular (most candidates would kill for 15-20% of a national vote) - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:05 4
  - unless they were actually trying to win -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:09
  - (I suspect ty started this poll just to get you to say this nonsense again.) -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:08 2
    - And I suspect the same can be said about yours. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:15 1
      - The robotic debate response and the water gulping gaffe are plenty enough. - David Mar 14, 10:17
- He'll likely have a better chance. But he'll be out of a job, so fox news for a few years, lots of networking -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:03
- sure, just reprogram his "Obama BAD!" subroutine to output "Hillary BAD!" -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:02
- I don't know if there's enough substance there for him to sustain a role in the party. He may be Jindal 2.0 - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:02
Huh, so this is a thing -- (link) - ty97 Mar 14, 09:59 5
- I guess you could say he's a... *removes sunglasses* ... fringe candidate. -- nm - Horatio Caine si Mar 14, 10:07 3
  - He *puts on* the sunglasses for the sweet one-liners. GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!!! -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 10:14 1
    - No, he goes both ways. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 10:22
  - *slow clap* -- nm - ML Mar 14, 10:07
- Oh yeah. The gold fringe thing is *huge* in tax protester circles. - iSpam Mar 14, 10:02
So im thinking at this point if there is a contested Republican Convention - eag Mar 14, 09:57 5
- It'll be like Chicago 68 democratic, all the contested stuff happened with procedurals and rules -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:00
- There is about a 1% chance of a contested now. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:58 3
  - now? -- nm - mud Mar 14, 10:03
  - Doesnt mean it will be a peaceful covention especially if Trump is the nominee. -- nm - eag Mar 14, 10:01 1
    - Yep. I'm glad Cincy didn't get this thing now. -- nm - volnelk Mar 14, 10:05
***BiggeST Losers*** I had a couple of updates while I was away but not enough to run a report and nothing since. - Meg Mar 14, 09:54 6
- I had to quit while restaurant week was going on - but I'm back at it starting today! -- nm - JenBro Mar 14, 13:07
- bad week for me - new inside - Beaker Mar 14, 10:17
- I'm stalled....working to get back moving positively. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:06
- I've stalled out. Hope to get things moving in the right direction again -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 09:58
- I want to think I ran off some on Saturday during the 15k, but I may have made it back up afterwards in food and beer. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 14, 09:58 1
  - A 15K? Whoo hoo for less than common distances -- nm - JD Mar 14, 10:16
They should have named this tool 'The Kilbo' -- (link*) - decline Mar 14, 09:53 1
- I got some kind of flier in the mail from Chipotle for a free burrito. Almost threw it away - oblique Mar 14, 09:57
Heh -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:47
someone just called my cell from Missouri - ML Mar 14, 09:47 5
- Jail is a lot different now than I remember -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:06
- I am in your cell. -- nm - iSpam Mar 14, 10:02 2
  - then I need a young priest and an old priest -- nm - ML Mar 14, 10:04 1
    - And I need a brain scrub *shudder* -- nm - iSpam Mar 14, 10:15
- Probably looking for company -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:48
I got an email from my boss that I want to reply to with simply "Baller!", but then the curse of having kids strikes again - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:44
"It's only tits and dragons." - David Mar 14, 09:40
10 years ago today, the Dolphins medical staff cost them Drew Brees. - ML Mar 14, 09:40 2
- Lucky for Drew Brees. Dolphins are so sad -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 09:42 1
  - cause/effect though -- nm - ML Mar 14, 10:05
Sarah Palin has canceled an appearance at a rally. NBC News reports Todd Palin is in intensive care following a snow machine crash. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:35 8
- Interesting that she didn't learn of it till just before the sppear8 -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 10:09
- Is it bad that my first thought was "Did he run into a dog team"? -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 09:52 1
  - heh, see below! -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:54
- Is that family prone to injuries? I thought there was another one last month. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:41
- is he the kid or the husband? -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:36 3
  - Oh, maybe the kid getting arrested is what I'm thinking of -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:42
  - Or the dog? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:36
  - husband. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:36
When do most brackets need to be completed by? (i.e., when is the first game) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 14, 09:32 14
- most are noon Thursday (and ignore the play-in games) -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:35
- If your bracket makes you pick the play-in games then tomorrow before 6:00. Otherwise it needs to be set by Thursday at noon. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:34 10
  - is someone setting up the Yahoo ST pool ? -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:35 9
    - It's set up, emails were sent. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:37 8
      - I'm on my phone so I can't post the info. Hopefully someone else can do it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:41 5
        
        This is J's invite, correct? If so, here is the info: - JaxSean Mar 14, 09:49 2
        
        Give bery the link, as well please. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:51 1
        
        link here -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 14, 10:05
        
        Got it. Had to check my yahoo acct for it. Bery can you post the details from inside? - decline Mar 14, 09:47
        
        If soneone brings it here, bery please banner it. - Spawn Mar 14, 09:42
      - (decline is C-list) -- nm - ML Mar 14, 09:38 1
        
        I ain't even C-list with this crowd -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:47
- When David posts, "The ball is tipped..." -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:33 1
  - And not a second later. -- nm - David Mar 14, 09:36
ST Poll: Now that Leonsis is bringing an AFL team to DC, how angry do we think Snyder is? -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:31 7
- I imagine about a 9.5, but 9 of that is because he's a horrible human being in general. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:36 4
  - Please tell me you saw the designs for the "new stadium?" It has a moat. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:38 3
    - I did not. I'm hoping they go to DC or VA so there's nothing I'm paying for that asshat. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:42 2
      - Here it is. A MOAT. I hope they end up in VA, I don't want DC to give in to him either. -- (link) - MDH Mar 14, 09:44 1
        
        Holy jeebus christ, that's hysterical. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:46
- Not at all. Arena football is sort of a joke. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:34 1
  - this -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 09:46
Goddammit Yahoo sports, what part of "no push notifications" don't you understand? -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 09:29 10
- the 'no' part -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:57
- I read this in the "It's making a PASTE!" Ross voice. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 09:41
- Reagen:Yahoo::David:Knology - spamlet Mar 14, 09:31
- lol, Yahoo - znufrii Mar 14, 09:31
- Ugh yeah so annoying. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 09:30
- are you on android? -- nm - ML Mar 14, 09:30 4
  - Yes. Tell me and I'll be your ally eternal. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 10:12 2
    - Settings ---> Applications ---> Application Manager ---> Yahoo Sports ---> unselect "Show Notifications" -- (edited) - ML Mar 14, 10:15 1
      - Yup. The only bad side to this is that setting sometimes resets if you reboot your phone -- nm - decline Mar 14, 10:28
  - (because I figured out a fix if so) -- nm - ML Mar 14, 09:35
Professional rugby one step closer to kickoff -- (link) - znufrii Mar 14, 09:28
Meanwhile, if the Dem race could wrap up tomorrow, that would be awesome. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:23 34
- Why would the Democratic Party want to do anything that might distract from the shitshow that is the GOP right now? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 10:01
- It's already over. Bernie's too much of an asshole to care about the party he's supposedly trying to take back -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:44
- For Hillary supporters. She looks worse every day and it would best for her to get it over with before she says or does something - Krusty Mar 14, 09:43 14
  - For Democrats it's better since Bernie (still) can't win. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:02
  - A quick nomination is best for the "party" not just Hillary supporters. Bernie needs to exceed delegate goals, so far he can't meet them. - MDH Mar 14, 09:46 11
    - and he's not even a member of the Party. Some Dems are dumb. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 10:27
    - So you're hoping Bernie stays in the race despite him not being the nominee to hurt Hillary. This is why the Bernie supporters get minimal respect. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:55 3
      - Not to hurt her but push her left. She's too moderate bordering on conservative at times. I want him to force her left -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:03 1
        
        So you want to hurt her in the general election. - ty97 Mar 14, 10:04
      - well, that and the Facebook posts -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:57
    - Good because I don't want her as the nominee -- nm* - Krusty Mar 14, 09:52 5
      - She will be the nominee. The question is do you want her to lose to Trump? -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:03 4
        
        This. But the Bernie revolution supporters don't get it. Don't throw away the Dem chance, please. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:05 3
        
        I understand very well and I still want him in the race. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:11 2
        
        *Puts you on the blame list for President Trump -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 10:15 1
        
        Blame the candidate for being weak. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:16
  - The margins she's going to run up in FL and NC tomorrow will make the other states irrelevant -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:46
- If Hillary somehow won all 5 states, it's over. If it goes as my note below, she makes it even harder for him to win. - MDH Mar 14, 09:27 15
  - I have zero doubt he realizes that math and what a long shot it is. However, he wants to keep the liberal conversation going for as long as he can. - ty97 Mar 14, 09:39 10
    - i think Bernie is playing a really important role and showing Hilary that a lot of people want some significant movement to the left. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 09:48 9
      - mission accomplished, she's already moved. but she'll never be pure enough for the Warren wing so it's a futile exercise -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 09:55 3
        
        How has she moved? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:00
        
        A smidge doesn't count. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 10:21 1
        
        i remember throwing my vote away for Nader in '00. good times -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:23
      - It's a double edge sword of good and some possibly bad IMO - ty97 Mar 14, 09:53
      - I agree, and it's been a help. But eventually they need to start preparing for the GOP, b/c that's actually getting terrifying. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:49 3
        
        I agree with this. He's made his point and gotten her to move. There is more downside to his campaign moving forward than upside. -- nm - pmb Mar 14, 10:02 2
        
        I think some Bernie supporters see moving the party to the left as more important, even if it hurts the party this cycle. - ty97 Mar 14, 10:10 1
        
        luckily, they aren't actually voting in any substantial numbers -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:12
  - Yup, she keeps doing 3 steps forward, 1 step back while Bernie does 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:36 1
    - What steps back? I'm actually curious what Bernie has done. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 09:44
  - I'd like for her to refocus and get back to being smart. Last week was a disaster. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 09:32 1
    - Truly. Lots of dumb, self inflicted wounds the past week. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:38
- Seriously. Why won't he just stop trying? -- nm - Hillary Clinton Mar 14, 09:25
The Interview -- (link) - Spawn Mar 14, 09:22 2
- Is it too much to ask that dude to sit up straight? - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:27
- That chair is doing him no favours. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 09:26
Re amanda B2: Quick summary - MDH Mar 14, 09:22 1
- The one thing I'm wondering: how much has actually changed in poll responses vs how much have the pollsters adjusts models post-Michigan. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 14, 09:40
Room: A, Big Eyes: B+ -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 09:19 1
