NPR top editor placed on leave due to charges of harassment... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 31, 18:25 1

I had no idea we even had an annual Halloween parade, but thrilled that they chose to have it as scheduled this evening. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 18:22 1
- Are you serious? It's one of the gay holidays and we get 2 million people that watch and participate. Also, anyone can walk in the parade if they have - Krusty Oct 31, 18:58
House Republicans delay rollout of tax plan to Thursday in struggle to finalize details. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 31, 18:14 11

  - "Some details of the bill started leaking out Tuesday" -- (link) - ty97 Oct 31, 18:28 9
    - "At the center of the problem were questions about how to pay for the proposed $5.5 trillion in tax cuts" - ty97 Oct 31, 18:30 8

        They only have $1.5T of budgetary authority and it has to balance after 10 years due to Senate rules. - spamlet Oct 31, 18:36 1
        
        I have no doubt they'll kick that can down the road and make it someone else's problem. then they can blame the likely dem congress for raising taxes. -- nm - mafic Oct 31, 18:40
      - Which is always the problem. - spamlet Oct 31, 18:33 4
        
        I expect we'll see something like 10-year tax cuts (a la Bush) as the only thing they can push through, if anything. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 18:35 3
        
        I would imagine that's the backup plan. They've already floated phasing in cuts. - spamlet Oct 31, 18:37 2
        
        This definitely isn't what they want to do, I'm just thinking if all else fails, and they want to have a 'success', any 'success' - ty97 Oct 31, 18:42 1
        
        Yup. They need something to show to voters. -- nm - spamlet Oct 31, 18:44

- "That's not how tonight works kid. I give YOU sweets. Here's a Starburst. Now give me a dollar." -- nm - Ender Oct 31, 18:25
- I would see the IM as a reason to go ahead and do the fundraiser. Then again, I am a fan -- nm - con_carne Oct 31, 18:22 3
  - The closest store here is 80 miles away, but I think you can still find them in grocery stores. -- nm - Ender Oct 31, 18:27 1
    - Never tried the store bought. I even heard their lesser quality hurt the brand a lot -- nm - con_carne Oct 31, 18:35
  - I heard of them here before we had KK stores, that was the special thing about them. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 31, 18:23
- happens here sometimes. used to be you could only get them over east.there's a KK stall in the Sydney airport that used to do a bustling business. - mafic Oct 31, 18:16

ST poll - would crash be a bad American if he said 'eff it" and got a prime rib for Thanksgiving instead of a turkey? - crash davis Oct 31, 17:53 20
- It is what we normally do if having guests at home, a standing rib roast...this year going to a fancy restaurant. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 31, 20:15
- Nope. We're getting a porterhouse. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 18:59

- If prime rib's what you're thankful for I say go for it. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 18:22 3
  - Love your nick -- nm - Pippy Oct 31, 18:26 2
    - :) Tomorrow I can put it away and bring out the mistletoe, right? - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 18:31 1

  - double bummer on that allergy then, I do sympathize -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 18:09 3
    - Ham is my second choice. I just don't feel like turkey unless I got a deep frying setup. Then I'd feel obligated to almost set my garage on fire. - crash davis Oct 31, 18:11 2
      - State Farm would pay your claim? -- nm - Pippy Oct 31, 18:11 1
        
        I'd check for a "don't deep fry your turkey, dumbass" clause. -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 18:14
- you should have gotten it a month ago to properly dry age the beef :( -- nm - peglegpete Oct 31, 18:00 4
  - I dunno, home dry aging kind of gives me the skeevies. especially that long. -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 18:03 2
    - my brother will be here in a month and I put a bone in ribeye in the garage fridge to dry age a month ago. watch this video on how to dry age -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 31, 18:26 [youtube] 1
      - there are others on you tube, but this is somewhat simple and I dry age similarily. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 31, 18:27
  - and as b.oo! says, it is not unreasonable. -- nm* - peglegpete Oct 31, 18:00
- no, that wouldn't be the reason. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 31, 17:55 1
  - oh snap peas! -- nm - Max Oct 31, 18:20

    - but will Game Change II get made now with Halperin in the doghouse? -- nm - mud Oct 31, 17:58 2
      - It will never see the light of day. Im curious if HBO's revisionist Civil War history bullshit series will still be a go. - Jovian Oct 31, 18:00
      - I am afraid HBO already said they are giving it the axe. -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 17:59

- so what I'm hearing is that they got the money back -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 17:32
So apparently the Bengals screwed up the trade. Browns sent signed offer. Bengals submitted different one to the league only they had signed. - Volnelk Oct 31, 16:57 1
- They did AJ McCarron and the Browns a favor. -- nm - budice Oct 31, 17:01

      - Say what now? -- nm - Pippy Oct 31, 17:45 6
