We are at Ringling Brothers with N. This is fun to see through his eyes. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 10:00 3
- It looked like he got to go down on the floor before the show. That seems neat! -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:12
- Are the circus features the same as they were 30 years ago? I vaguely remember going once. -- nm - Max Mar 25, 10:01 1

  - here you go. -- (link) - znufrii Mar 25, 09:29
  - I know what I was making at 20-35 and the MA number is about the same for them as it was for me... - Mel Profit Mar 25, 09:27
  - I'd like to see a side-by-side of that graph above vs. median student loan debt for the same group. -- nm - ML Mar 25, 09:27 1
    - This would be interesting too. - ty97 Mar 25, 09:28

  - good to know. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 09:51
- Don't mess with hung-over Deevs -- nm - Roger More Mar 25, 09:17
All kidding aside, Max is right. Cruz should lean into this. Acting like an adulterer would make him seem more human. -- nm* - David Mar 25, 09:13 23
- It's almost impossible to overcome that particular kind of hypocrisy. He has made faith and and strict adherence to faith a central point of his - pmb Mar 25, 09:26 5
  - He did, but I don't think many people ever believed. Even his supporters know what he is. - David Mar 25, 09:31 4
    - This is the wrong authenticity. " I'm as sleazy and awful as you all thought" is not a winning authenticity. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 09:35 3
      - It's (fittingly) an evolutionary adaption. -- nm - David Mar 25, 09:42 2
        
        I just don't know if the gills are vestigial or not. -- nm - Reagen Mar 25, 09:57 1

- Nah. The group that appreciates that is already voting for Trump and the group that reviles adultery (from others) will drop him. - TWuG Mar 25, 09:17 11
  - Realistically, Trump won the nomination this morning.* - David Mar 25, 09:17 10
    - Assume the whole Enquirer story is a lie. Assume Cruz has never been anything but faithful. If you are Katrina Pierson.... - ty97 Mar 25, 09:20 9
      - Now? No, I'd wait until closer to the convention. -- nm - mara Mar 25, 09:32 5
        
        Interesting. I think I'd do it now to try and hurt his delegate count, make Trump mathematically unstoppable. - ty97 Mar 25, 09:38 4
        
        But it might not be needed. I'm not going to admit to something like this without it being necessary. -- nm - mara Mar 25, 09:51 2
        
        good point -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 10:08 1
        
        Let's keep in mind she's a person, not a campaign pawn. FWIW. -- nm - mara Mar 25, 10:22
        
        yup, waiting to me is a sign of making shit up. If it happened tell the truth as fast as you can -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 09:39
      - That's an extremely interesting question. - David Mar 25, 09:25 2
        
        And of course the real possibility that no other man will ever touch her again. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 09:35
        
        and using her backstory she can appeal to the feminists and portray Cruz as someone who took advantage of her when she was starting out. -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 09:34
- oh, I don't think it's possible for him to seem human. I just think he should go down swinging and have fun making Trump feel insecure. -- nm - Max Mar 25, 09:14
- Has there been no peep from him / his campaign yet? -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 09:13 3
  - Not even a tweet about it, which is...unusual. - David Mar 25, 09:16 2
    - I'm guessing (speculating is a better word here) that this means there is an affair (whether it's one of the suggested ones or not) -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 25, 09:18 1
      - My expectation is that they're trying to cover their tracks on the money first and foremost. - David Mar 25, 09:28
Alright Donald, this was never part of our agreement, this latest Cruz stuff is a little much,..what do you mean you've rewritten our contract? -- nm - Satan Mar 25, 09:06 3
- Pray I don't alter it further. -- nm - Big Orange Mar 25, 09:08
- Pray I don't make any YUUGE alterations. -- nm - Darth Trump Mar 25, 09:07 1
  - (imaging Trump actually acting with his own lines in the Star Wars movies will entertain me for the rest of the day) - Max Mar 25, 09:18
Apparently, it's not easy finding salvaged red brick around here. I find that odd given the history. The search continues -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 09:06
ST poll - do you believe Jesus died for our sins? Yes or No? - Epiphany Mar 25, 09:05 38
- Yes. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 25, 10:21
- literally, no -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 25, 09:27
- Historically I believe Christ was killed because he would not lead the Jews against Roman oppression and occupation. - Diva Mar 25, 09:25 15
  - This is why I still believe religious faith can be good thing... - Mel Profit Mar 25, 09:59 4
    - :) - Diva Mar 25, 10:00 3
      - I don't think what you're thinking is in the Bible... - Mel Profit Mar 25, 10:01 2
        
        you've never read the Song of Solomon? -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 10:04 1

  - So you're saying we can't play Roman General meets African Princess, tonight? -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 09:29 2
    - ROMANES EUNT DISHES -- nm - hallway wall Mar 25, 09:39
    - It's not Tuesday. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 09:31
  - Sins Diva. We want to hear about sins. - pmb Mar 25, 09:28 3
    - I sin all the time. All the damn time. See? I just sinned again by swearing. - Diva Mar 25, 09:32 2
      - ~the sinners are much more fun . . .~ - pmb Mar 25, 09:50 1
        
        oh I know. :) -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 09:51
- I believe he may have believed that was why he was dying. Though, honestly, I think all the divinity stuff came from followers well after his death. -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 09:14 1
  - [deleted]
- He died because he was a political rabble-rouser who had it coming. Go Team Roma! - Mel Profit Mar 25, 09:14 1
  - Romani ite domum! -- nm - Brian Mar 25, 09:17
- of course -- nm - David Mar 25, 09:12
- I don't believe in God so I don't believe Jesus did that in the religious sense. - ty97 Mar 25, 09:10 1
  - (I did believe it for many years, FWIW) -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 09:11
- Y -- nm - Epiphany Mar 25, 09:10
- It's a trap, she's trying to get you all damned! -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 09:09 4
  - I'm already damned. And I've got change coming. -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 09:40
  - ya'll don't need me for that - Epiphany Mar 25, 09:11 2
    - yes. colin must be stopped today. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 09:27
    - :) -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 09:11
- negatory -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 09:09
- No. -- nm - mara Mar 25, 09:09
- died for the sins in the idea that it was a sacrifice to save/change others. - Truman Mar 25, 09:07
- ayup -- nm - ML Mar 25, 09:06
- I think it was for something the Muslims did or maybe the Syrian refugees if some posts on my Timeline are to be believed -- nm* - Beaker Mar 25, 09:06
- In the conventionally understood meaning of the phrase, no. -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 09:06 1
  - (I think it would be more accurate to say he died because people are dicks) -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 09:17
ST Poll: Gun to head, Shit Sandwich or Shit Soup -- nm - TWuG Mar 25, 09:03 2
- "If you have to eat shit, best not to nibble. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat." -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 09:30
- umm, gun. -- nm - Truman Mar 25, 09:04
i just realized why I am the way I am about some things. - Truman Mar 25, 09:01
David, I went looking for those metrics articles and either they're not up yet or they're not doing it this year. - ML Mar 25, 08:57 3
- ok, thanks -- nm - David Mar 25, 08:59 2
  - OTOH, one resource I use has Quan, Doctson, Thomas, Coleman all bunched up as the top WR in-class. -- nm - ML Mar 25, 09:03 1
    - (then a second tier of Boyd, Shepard, Fuller, and Carroo) -- nm - ML Mar 25, 09:17
Play this out with me: Say this is campaign-ending for Cruz within the next week. Does anyone reactivate their suspended campaign? - ty97 Mar 25, 08:54 15
- Cruz will believe he can weather this, f the party -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 13:44
- I think Paul Ryan will reluctantly agree to be called. Again. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 09:09
- I humbly accept the Republican nomination! -- nm - Hillary Clinton Mar 25, 09:06 4
  - Spit take...this is better than anything I've seen in the onion -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 13:36

  - sometimes voters get the party that voters get. - Truman Mar 25, 09:05
- no. but I would say it would increase the liklihood of some "shennanigans" at the convention. - Truman Mar 25, 09:00
- I'm standing right here! -- nm - Kasich Mar 25, 08:55 2
  - Anyone? Anyone? -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 08:56 1
    - Non-jokingly: Kasich only has any hopes in the Northeast/Rust Belt. He doesn't register out west. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 08:57
I was wrong, it was Forbes, not NYTimes. -- (link*) - znufrii Mar 25, 08:54
This is a storyline about benefits to congressional members that The Distinguished Gentleman overlooked. -- nm - Max Mar 25, 08:54 2
- no it didn't. the one he replaced died banging a hot aide -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 08:54 1
  - At least he was hot. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 25, 09:00
