  - yeah, I heard that too. no venison for anyone. -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:44 4
    - I mean, that's perfectly good meat going to waste. Maybe they make dog food out of it or something. weird -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:46 3
      - what you're supposed to do is call the cops (or fish & wildlife or whoever), and they come and take it, and the meat theoretically gets given to - mafic Aug 19, 10:53
      - they probably figure that people will be doing it on purpose or hiding their poaching by running over the carcass -- nm - zork Aug 19, 10:48 1

        I usually blame people for building too close to their habitat. - Krusty Aug 19, 11:00 1

Where I think the Dems have failed is that they're treating town hall meetings as spreading the message rather than gaining feedback. - Fuzzy Aug 19, 10:33 24
- Oh, god. You want to talk about failing to educate people about plans? Since re-election, the BC Liberals have: - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:40 3
  - still better than the ndp. that makes me sad. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 10:45 2
    - No, I really don't think it's better than the NDP. I think it's a lot worse than the NDP. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:51 1
      - balanced budgets really do it for me. and no one has been arrested for corruption yet. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 10:59
- [deleted]
- "Failed?" Don't you think you might be overblowing the effects of these angry protesters? Also, "plan" should be plural. - con_carne Aug 19, 10:38 5
  - I meant failed in terms of trying to sell their agenda. Not saying that the crazies have won or will win. I'm saying the Dems have failed to sell it. - Fuzzy Aug 19, 10:47 4
    - I don't know that anything could have been done by the Democrats to head off this current avalanche of aggressive ignorance and lies -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 10:50 3
      - Mass mailings of flyers with key points, full-page newspaper ads, Presidential TV time, call centers to field questions, etc. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 19, 10:58 1
        
        and rampant charges from the right of communist propaganda and socialist indoctrination. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:59
      - That's what the Nazis wanted! - BB Aug 19, 10:53
- I think the whole town hall idea is a big mistake. If I was Obama I'd have let the crazies at it for the month of August. - Loyola Aug 19, 10:37 6
  - Good idea. No one will believe a bunch of liars anyway. Let them have August. What harm could it do? -- nm - President John Kerry Aug 19, 10:50 2
    - It's more of a rope a dope move in boxing. Save your best stuff for the final moment and when everyone is watching. - Loyola Aug 19, 10:55
    - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:51
  - You let the 'crazies' run amok for the month the Congressmen are home and supposedly listening to their constituents; you get roasted for both being - Will Hunting Aug 19, 10:40 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - although, Jon Stewart did give Obama the benefit of the doubt... - znufrii Aug 19, 10:45
- I don't think it's a failure of the Dems as much as a failure of our society in general. - musubi Aug 19, 10:35 4
  - But what happened to getting the message out before the debate? The only message they gout out is "We have a plan". - Fuzzy Aug 19, 10:41 3
    - I'm saying that blaming someone for "Left the door open to scare tactics" is a smaller scale of blaming a rape victim for dressing provocatively.(nm) - musubi Aug 19, 10:49 2
      - You were wearing *spandex.* I'm only human. Let it go. nm - Dignan Aug 19, 10:54
      - nature and the media abhor a vacuum. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:51
- they (still) don't have a message, because they've been bending over backwards to appease the GOP who aren't going to support the final plan anyway. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:35

  - oh, quite a bit more than that. are you sure you're looking at the map scale correctly? -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:33
- Opportunity's actually travelled more than twice as far. Spirit's been stuck in sand since May. -- nm - Ender Aug 19, 10:30 2
  - yeah, but I could find a full-sized map that covered its entire traverse. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 19, 10:33 1
    - could = couldn't -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:36
B2: Celebrity Mole: Kathy Griffin! -- nm - MDH Aug 19, 10:26 1
- Really? I'd forgotten she was even on that. It was all about Corbin and Stephen's mental breakdown. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 19, 10:28
It was the first american one. Big Brother's first winner wouldn;t have been Eddie than. -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 10:26 9
- Eddie is the correct answer. Not sure Big Brother Netherlands actually counts. - Jovian Aug 19, 10:28 2

That would be a damn interesting statistical anomaly to win Best Poster and then go on to win Most Improved Poster -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:26 6
- Let's see Albert Pujols do that! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:31
- why not? Usain Bolt got the world record last year and then smashed it this year. -- nm - zork Aug 19, 10:29 3
  - that's only because he showboated the last .2 seconds of the race -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 19, 10:32
