  - Feed me to the whales. -- nm - Mop si Aug 6, 12:24

"Five right-wing myths about healthcare reform, and the facts" From Salon -- (link) - TWuG Aug 6, 12:14 8
- Those are some pretty weak debunkings. - Dr.Vermin Aug 6, 12:24 5
  - That says to me it's a reasonable, well-thought out article. Not everything is 'wrong wrong wrong' -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:30 1
    - That's fine. - Dr.Vermin Aug 6, 12:33
  - that's because they're some pretty weak assertions to begin with. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:25 2
    - *snork* -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 6, 12:31
    - [deleted]
- Well it's a good thing those right wing fringe groups read Salon! -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 12:16 1
  - They may not read Salon, but they read ST! And now it's here and they'll be so riled they'll have to read it! - TWuG Aug 6, 12:18
No more "war on terror" for this administration. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 6, 12:13 5
- the non-use is old news, but the official part is new. -- nm - b. Aug 6, 12:15 2
  - isn't it official if State and DOD got the directive? -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 12:16 1
    - from the story, it had not come from the white house until the referenced speech. that's the specific official.-- nm - b. Aug 6, 12:20
- yeah, old news, I thought. And isn't "War on Drugs" also being put out to pasture? -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:14
- man, those hearing aids work wonders. Maybe you should suggest them to the newspapers? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:14
I'm asking because I know I am biased - does anyone here think The Boys Are Back looks quite good? - kelly Aug 6, 12:10 2
- i'm somewhat biased, but sure. - b. Aug 6, 12:22
- It looks like a charming film, a manly, well-written version of The Jersey Girl. - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:11
Psych season premiere tomorrow! Apparently it's set in Canada. - loosilu Aug 6, 12:08 3
- You can see that they're talking to a Mountie in the commercial. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:13
- that'll be easy since, like almost every other hour-long cable show, it's filmed there. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 12:11
- ... grr. Way to tempt me into watching your show, Psych people. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:09
Damn that's a long lineup for lunch today. *waits for the pack to thin out* -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:08 3
- pick of the old and weak ones first. -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 12:08 2
  - I left my NERF gun at home -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:09 1
    - use a sock full of pennies. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:10
Monday: Castle, CSI Miami, Jay Leno Show. (Castle wins, hands down) - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:05 3
- The Mentalist is fun. The rest, I agree. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:06 2
  - Oh, I know it's a good show. I'm just not that into it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:06 1
    - Yeah, we tape it, but I skip some weeks too. But of SheFox's shows, its one of the more tolerable. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:07
[deleted] 50
- I think it's Grey Goose -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:09 2
  - Also correct. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 12:14
  - [deleted]
- Lots? -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:06 40
  - This is correct. - Diva Aug 6, 12:06 39
    - I "discovered" the beergarita this past weekend. - Reagen Aug 6, 12:09 38
      - Beergarita sounds like something you'd be handed *if* you were late to a party. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 12:13 17
        
        Or what you make the asshole drink when playing Asshole. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:15 13
        
        Since I'm at work and can't google, but this is the second time it's come up in a week, can someone explain the rules of this game? -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:16 11
        
        ummm... that would take longer than I have. and i don't know that there is a consistent set. - TFox Aug 6, 12:18 3
        
        Oh, I know this game - it just has a different name. In the rules I know, 2's reset, 10's clear the board and also... - Roger More Aug 6, 12:21 2
        
        If you can play that, you can learn Asshole in eleven and a half seconds. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:23
        
        yeah, that's way more complicated than our version. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 12:22
        
        it's a card game. it would be a lot to type out. however, i'll call you next time i'm going out with a particular - Andie Aug 6, 12:17 6
        
        and whoever loses, drinks? -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:18 5
        
        A hierarchy gets formed for the next game based on where you finished the previous game. - Inigo Aug 6, 12:20
        
        you sort of become a slave for the round. you deal, you give up your best cards, you take the worst seat, etc. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 12:19 2
        
        ohhh, RM - Andie Aug 6, 12:21 1
        
        I would love to, but this weekend is already given over to holiday/wedding stuff - Roger More Aug 6, 12:29
        
        among other things. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:19
        
        [deleted]
        
        By a fat guy in a toga. nm - Dignan Aug 6, 12:14 2
        
        or in my case, my f-i-l, who's as likely to drink 18 year old scotch as anything else. - Reagen Aug 6, 12:16 1
        
        Why the hell was your father-in-law wearing a toga? nm - Dignan Aug 6, 12:18
      - [deleted]
      - Never heard of this. Sounds like it would be a beer with lime... -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 12:11
      - Leave. nm - Dignan Aug 6, 12:11
      - ewwww... -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:10
      - how can that not be nasty? -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 12:10
      - the... what? that sounds... atrocious. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:10 14
        
        Depends what beer it's made with, I would think. Guinness versus Coors, for example, would have a wide ranging tastebud impact. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:12
        
        you would think, but surprisingly delicious. - Reagen Aug 6, 12:12 12
        
        I'd try that. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 12:26
        
        where's the alcohol in that? -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 12:15 5
        
        do they make non-alcoholic tequila? -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:17 4
        
        note also, that our cheap beer isn't the same as *their* cheap beer. - Andie Aug 6, 12:25 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        No. Think of them as slightly more upscale Canadian versions of Budweiser. nm - Dignan Aug 6, 12:28
        
        I was being overdramatic. -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 12:20
        
        ewwww... -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:12 4
        
        (a waste of good beer and/or good tequila, and if neither of them are good, why are you bothering in the first place?) -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 12:13 3
        
        the sum of inferior parts can add up to a superior final product. - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:13 2

        I'd have gone with "Just look at ST" -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 12:17
- I know she likes wine. Hm. -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 12:05 1
  - yes, correct. -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 12:14
- hey Diva - Dawson would like to know what your choice of booze is. - kelly Aug 6, 12:04 3

And Buster Olney chimes in on the JaHey Kid. - David Aug 6, 12:00 1
- Remember what happened to Salty before you get too attached. -- nm - Tim Aug 6, 12:08
Bad news for Harry Douglas sounds like good news for Matt Jones. - David Aug 6, 11:55 1
- [deleted]
David Ortiz is planning to address the media about his PED use at 3:30 today, from Yankee Stadium. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 11:55 14
- Of *course* he waited til today. -- nm - kelly Aug 6, 12:04
- [deleted] 6
  - (why ugh? i mean, i'm a little disappointed it took this long, but i'm glad he's finally doing it.) -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:03 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - It needs to be done. Preferably before today, but today is better than tomorrow and so on. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:11 3

        Or admits to everything, announces his retirement right there on the spot, effective immediately - znufrii Aug 6, 12:16 1

  - *laughing* -- nm - Diva Aug 6, 12:19
  - [deleted]
- At least he's choosing friendly surroundings. - BB Aug 6, 11:59 2
  - I hear the press room at the new stadium is gargantuan too. - TFox Aug 6, 12:00 1
    - This is what happens when even the architects take steroids. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:06
I sent the user manual site to my father. He said they don't have all manufacturers (like Sears) -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 11:55 12
- "I went to see Kip Winger. He said, 'in my day we knew how to party; bands today, c'mon, not hardly.'" nm - Dignan Aug 6, 12:02
- he's right, for now anyway. (lots of companies have manuals on their individual sites, though.) - b. Aug 6, 12:00 3
  - I searched on Sears and some stuff came up. - ty97 Aug 6, 12:03 2
    - am i at the wrong site? maybe. oops. -- nm - b. Aug 6, 12:05 1
      - i was. i am dum. -- nm - b. Aug 6, 12:07
- did he look under Kenmore? (that's their house brand, isn't it?) -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 11:57 5
  - I've heard that Kenmore has Whilrlpool guts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 11:58 4
    - wouldn't be surprised. - znufrii Aug 6, 12:04
    - It's got Sony guts. Sony guts. -- nm - Uri Shurinson Aug 6, 12:04
    - I believe you are both right. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:59 1
      - (IKEA also has Kenmore/Whirlpool/whoever guts, I think) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:59
- mind you, I'm guessing he's wrong, but haven't checked -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 11:56
OMG, it's the Anthropocene epoch already?! -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 6, 11:54 1
- The Big Bang already happened? - znufrii Aug 6, 11:56
AAHHH!!! I want to get out of here! -- nm - lileve Aug 6, 11:54
The Hives -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 11:53 3
