Sidenote: If I were a high brow Republican, I would be deeply annoyed to have all of these pinheads lumping themselves in with my politics. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:27 7
- I like how in this context, "high brow" really just means level-headed and rational. -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:32 1
  - It never seemed fair to me that jaywalkers are serial rapists are both called criminals. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:36

  - one on a lllloooonnnnggggg list of reasons, yep -- nm - ty97 Aug 13, 12:30
- If I were a high-brow Republican, I'd have switched to Libertarian *years* ago. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:29 2
  - It's difficult to chose general irellevancy - ty97 Aug 13, 12:33
  - but then you'd have to start smoking pot. There's no perfect solution. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:30
"You know we had some problems in some of our presidential elections. As you may remember, in 2000 our presidential election came down to one state - Loyola Aug 13, 12:22 2
- I find this quote a lot worse than her "outburst". Sounds a lot like an accusation towards Jeb -- nm - Guigue Aug 13, 12:29 1
  - In a way, it reminds me a little of her "sniper fire" comment. -- nm - Loyola Aug 13, 12:31
I want to go see Ponyo now. Make it Friday please. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:20 1
- It's Friday in Australia! - BB Aug 13, 12:23
How does that "Death to Obama" sign guy even know that their kids are stupid, is what I'm asking. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:12 7
- It was proclaimed so by the voice he heard through his tin foil hat reciever. Or as he like to call it, his "God Bluetooth". -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 12:33
- I'm not 100% certain he did a lot of fact checking. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:26 2
  - how about a 95% confidence level? -- nm - zork Aug 13, 12:31 1
    - If pressed to give a number, I'll say 55% certain. I hate to be so cynical about my fellow man, though. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:34
- They're pre-teen girls...how smart could they be? - BB Aug 13, 12:22

$18 million government contract to create and run stimulus transparency website anything but transparent. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 13, 12:07 24
- who gives a *shit*?, i ask sincerely. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:10 23
  - it's only notable for the ironic disconnect of the website's purpose and the process by which it was procured. -- nm - znufrii Aug 13, 12:32 1
    - yes. it's a blurb to be played over an Alanis song. it should be cuddled, it is so cute. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:33
  - "the people have a right to know what their money is being spent on... We still don�t really know what the government�s buying here, except a website" - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:14 19
    - Sure, but.... really, who gives a fuck? They bought a website. Good for them. - TFox Aug 13, 12:17 18
      - They = us....granted, 18mil isn't a ton of money for gov't contracting, but end of the day, every program adds up. - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:23 4
        
        Did they spend anything wrong? Nope, not that we know. Just some shit was blacked out. Who cares? - TFox Aug 13, 12:26 3
        
        "Not that we know" is the key words in your post. - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:29 1
        
        and ticky-tack is exactly my point. - TFox Aug 13, 12:32
        
        Exactly, "not that we know". As long as we never know, everything's fine! -- nm - Blissful Vermin Aug 13, 12:29
      - *they* didn't buy a website.. you did. - colinski Aug 13, 12:21 10
        
        Did I get a receipt? -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:29
        
        People should be too busy with their own lives to care about this. Fact. - TFox Aug 13, 12:23 8
        
        but they should still all get out and vote, yes? - colinski Aug 13, 12:28 4
        
        I work in healthcare, so there's that. I care about things that are important in gov't. Maybe if I worked on websites, I'd care more, I guess. - TFox Aug 13, 12:30 3
        
        please do. - colinski Aug 13, 12:33 1
        
        i know i am. i'm having a day. lord knows why. sorry for freaking out for a sec. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:34
        
        How the government is spending it's citizenry's money should be a pretty important thing. - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:31
        
        Pay no attention to what's behind that curtain! - Wizard of Vermin Aug 13, 12:26 2
        
        Admittedly, I need a smoke right now, bad. But like... you can care about the *concept* of knowing your money is spent wisely. - TFox Aug 13, 12:28 1
        
        It's hard to give a shit about anything until you hear about it! - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:33
      - I wish they'd pay me $18M for a website! - BB Aug 13, 12:20 1
        
        No kidding. How can you possibly spend that much? - Wizard of Vermin Aug 13, 12:28
  - thanks to this site, you'll never know. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:11

How is it possible that I hated avocadoes when I was little, yet now I love them so very, very much. Mmmmmm. -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:06 28
- for me lots of stuff just looked bad as a kid - and so it tasted bad too - I like lots of things now that I never did before -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 12:31
- I'm waiting for the wife to outgrow her aversion to avacados, tomatos, and mushrooms... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:09 3
  - Does she hate tomatoes in any form? - Stephen Aug 13, 12:22 1
    - the processed tomato tolerators are a wily bunch -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:23
  - Sad, this alone is wiping out entire cuisines of possibility -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:16
- I hated lots of vegetables as a kid that I love now. - Stephen Aug 13, 12:07 22
  - your taste perception changes as you age. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 12:18
  - I'm not sure what made people decide that spinach had to be boiled into a green mush. Would you boil lettuce? - Reagen Aug 13, 12:16 18
    - Wilted (i.e. hot) leafy green salads are still popular here. The slightest cooking of spinach and other greens often brings out much flavor. -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:20
    - While I'll eat it, I still don't like spinach. It's got that bitter, metalic taste to it. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:18 12
      - You know, isn't that actually iron? (I've always noticed this, too) -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:22 4
        
        the calcium and the iron, probably (which ironically are poorly absorbed by the body from spinach) -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:25 3
        
        :) - Andie Aug 13, 12:26 2
        
        yes, we'll just pretend that was on purpose. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:26 1
        
        If so, stop stealing my bit. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:28
      - You might want to avoid my quinine and penny salad, then. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:20 6
        
        What's the recommended daily allowance of copper anyway? (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:23
        
        and he definitely doesn't want to eat my aspiring and iron filing sandwiches. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 12:20 4
        
        He most certainly doesn't want to blow me. nm - Dignan Aug 13, 12:23 3
        
        Some things go without saying. - musubi Aug 13, 12:27 1
        
        although in this case it never hurts to get it on the record. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:28
        
        (but he should.) nm - Dignan Aug 13, 12:27
    - the french do (boil lettuce) and it's good. no lie. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 12:17 3
      - Yeah, the French do a lot of things. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:19 2
        
        When it comes to food, they do a lot of things right -- nm - Roger More Aug 13, 12:20
        
        I have a recipe for pea soup that includes lettuce. the lettuce completely disintegrates and you can't see it, but it improves the flavor. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 12:19
  - yep. Though not mushrooms or tomatoes. ewww. -- nm - ty97 Aug 13, 12:14 1
    - Still hate mushrooms, but love tomatoes -- nm - Stephen Aug 13, 12:16
