Anyone ever used stubhub to sell tickets? Is it decent for last minute sales? - Subversive Jul 5, 16:09 8
- I've used it but never less than a month beforehand.. I think that any closer than that is difficult. -- nm - secretslacker Jul 5, 16:38
- Try Craigslist. -- nm - jnine Jul 5, 16:27

    - When bought Colts tickets, they had a table set up in a nearby hotel lobby. - Spawn Jul 5, 16:14 1

so I finally read about Palin's resignation. two things - tRuMaN Jul 5, 15:39 7
- Exactly the point I was trying to make below. You don't drop a job in process, just because you think you might like something else better. - MojaveMeg Jul 5, 15:58
- Those were my same thoughts exactly. She could have easily completed her term, now she's a quitter. -- nm - celedhring Jul 5, 15:43 4
  - Whether she runs in 2012, 2016, 2020 or beyond, she will always the Quitter label on her -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 15:48 3

  - "Dad, why is this guy teabagging me in Halo?" -- nm - Jaxinne Jul 5, 16:11
as far as new features go, this is a really tiny one, but ... I added pagination to the Board Stats page on the left. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 15:07 2

- "if you watch RAW, ECW or TNA, please leave the room" -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 12:39 6
  - I suggested the other day they should just let Jericho be a 1 man tag team for awhile, but another idea is move Christian over to replace Edge. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 12:46 5
    - I think he'll be in ECW Purgatory for a while. - Tim Jul 5, 12:48 4
      - From what I undersand he wanted to be on ECW and you are right that they trashed the roster. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 12:52 2
        
        I've got Evan Bourne on Raw now so I don't need ECW anymore. (nm) - Tim Jul 5, 13:04 1

- I guess, if nothing else, I'm disturbed by an apparent lack of committment. I understand quitting a job in business "to pursue other - MojaveMeg Jul 5, 13:03 17
  - Apparently, she felt that staying in her job for 15 months as a lame duck governor would be quitting. - znufrii Jul 5, 13:31 7
    - A lot of her backers thought she had a good shot of being reelected. Which would keep her from being a lame duck. -- nm - the liioulu with grackle Jul 5, 14:14 2
      - kind of hard to get reelected if you don't run, which she had apparently decided not to do... -- nm - znufrii Jul 5, 14:15 1
        
        There's the rub. This was before she made that decision. - the liioulu with grackle Jul 5, 14:19
    - by that logic, nobody would ever run for reelection or take a second term for anything -- nm - dug Jul 5, 13:34 3
      - Well, running for re-election would make her not a lame duck. - psilotum Jul 5, 14:20
      - actually, that wouldn't be an entirely bad thing... -- nm - znufrii Jul 5, 13:35 1
        
        Well, you'd burn through the list of willing politicians very quickly. - Beryllium Jul 5, 14:34
  - It's kind of telling that in her opinion resigning is the best thing for Alaska. - TWuG Jul 5, 13:05 8
    - The Republican party needs a nice, quiet 12 months in the run-up to the 2010 mid-terms. - David Jul 5, 13:11 5
      - Right now, the 2012 nominee/sacrificial lamb is Mitt Romney by default. - Tim Jul 5, 13:12 4
        
        I strongly suspect they'll try to create their own Obama. - David Jul 5, 13:14 3
        
        Find us a lesbian Hispanic Republican! -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 13:54 1
        
        Or, I should say, "the". -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 14:19
        
        Michael Steele! (nm) - nubby Jul 5, 13:16
    - Because the liberal media is being sooooo mean to her. -- nm - mara Jul 5, 13:07 1
      - America dodged a bullet. -- nm - TWuG Jul 5, 13:09
- I had a dog once who had two options: Thinking or Breathing. - TWuG Jul 5, 12:37
- so it looks like Federal Investigation may be beginning on her. -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 12:33 16
  - Is this still about that thing with her allegedly getting someone fired? -- nm - con_carne Jul 5, 14:11 3
    - No. Rumors are she embezzled State funds. Or misappropriated funds. - TWuG Jul 5, 14:14 1
      - Ah, I have not heard of this -- nm - con_carne Jul 5, 14:17
    - It seems a bit bigger than Troopergate, to be honest -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 14:13
  - according to her twitter feed, teh FBI rumors r untrue -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 12:50 1
    - I should talk to you about that property in Florida I'm looking to sell ;-) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 5, 12:53
  - Just think: she could have been the sitting Vice-President when it happened! - David Jul 5, 12:36 9
    - and it would have been even more of a master-stroke then! -- nm - Bill Kristol Jul 5, 13:40
    - Initially it was the ballsy pick and gave him a little mo but it turned out to be a badly thrown Hail Mary. -- nm - Tim Jul 5, 12:40 1
      - yep. -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 12:42
    - The biggest indication he was unfit for duty was his choice of her as VP. - TWuG Jul 5, 12:38
    - at the time the choice was made, it was a bold move and gave him some momentum -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 12:38 4
      - it was a desperate move made without the necessary vetting. -- nm - Callisto Jul 5, 12:38 3
        
        It wa quick-fix thinking rather than long-term. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 5, 12:43
        
        From a generally good leader who forgot himself in his desperation to win at all costs. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:41 1
        
        agree with both points. -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 12:41
