- Redmond? -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 14:57 1
  - Well, I only got the idea after many other people kept telling me what they thought. -- nm - Redmond doing the Happy Friday Dance Nov 7, 15:19
- I'm not sure I understand that sentence. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:57 7
  - yeah, his delivery made it clear......... "people were suddenly denied the unrealized hope in his Presidency" is what he meant. - CrankYanker Nov 7, 15:05
  - I'm glad it's not just me. People were denied? Or hope was denied? Or was it realized? Or realized that it was denied? (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 15:02 5
    - Civil Rights was becoming even more an issue. -- nm - the liioulu with more clothes Nov 7, 15:05
    - The people were hopeful that his great potential would be realized. It was expected to happen but the assassination stole the opportunity. -- nm - Max Nov 7, 15:03 3

it's usually a condition of closing and the terms of the mortgage that the buyer deposit a monthly tax and title insurance amount in escrow -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 14:36 4
- I just wasn't sure what to do when I got the tax bill. Ignore it? -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:52
- I could understand insurance, but taxes? that's a new one for me. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 7, 14:39 1
  - because if you don't pay your property taxes, the government puts a lien on your property, which is superior to the mortgage holder's lien - pigby Nov 7, 14:40

Neither here nor there, but some folks just can't let a good thing go untarnished. I just checked the 52 to 48 thing again, and there are some ugly - musubi Nov 7, 14:34 33
- i also love that there are 48s to 52s popping up -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 14:59
- im not going to let a couple bad apples ruin what is otherwise a fantastic concept -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 14:57
- I'm assuming 52-48 is something to do with the margin of the popular vote, but what is the "thing" that you checked? - ceregon Nov 7, 14:49 2
  - just the opposite... -- (link) - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:52 1
    - Oh wow. This is awesome. This is also a big reason why I love ST. - ceregon Nov 7, 14:59
- no surprise. i remember how 9/11 was going to bring everyone together and usher in a new era od social cooperation and participation.... - x Nov 7, 14:42 9
  - Well, Bush won't be in charge this time. His Administration cashed in a lot of the goodwill 9/11 got us -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:56 1
    - Which is to hope Obama won't be so foolish -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:58
  - that lasted for about a month in NYC. Everyone was all nice and everything, then the rudeness returned -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 7, 14:49 1
    - we wont even get a day out of this one -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 15:27

  - Amen, brother. - musubi Nov 7, 14:45
- Kind of like that "savor" article that was posted yesterday? - Stephen Nov 7, 14:38 14
  - why cant you take some joy in the fact that most people want to forget about your bullshit and move on? - Guy Nov 7, 15:02 9
    - Hey, asshat, settle down. You're not helping. (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 15:03 8
      - i must have had too much of the "Kool-Aid". im not capabable of free-thought, im just a victim of an elaborate scam to brainwash the american people - Guy Nov 7, 15:06 7
        
        It's like being called an idiot. If you're not an idiot, you don't need to worry. - musubi Nov 7, 15:08 6
        
        he cant even acknowledge how well Obama's campaign was run. - Guy Nov 7, 15:15 1
        
        So you spew invectives at him? That's just as bad any anything you denouce. Either put up or shut up Guy. - musubi Nov 7, 15:18
        
        since Tuesday night, all ive been hearing from non-Obama supporters is spite, pessimism and ignorant rhetoric - Guy Nov 7, 15:12 3
        
        First off, it's not all encompassing. You commented on the 48 to52s yourself. - musubi Nov 7, 15:17 2
        
        yes, but the people in my immediate circle speak a lot louder than a few photos on a blog post. - Guy Nov 7, 15:21 1
        
        It doesn't matter. Either you're trying to make it better or you're not. It's your choice. - musubi Nov 7, 15:25
  - I have no idea. I'm trying. There are always going to be jerktards who will be ugly. It's only politics as usual if we let it be. - musubi Nov 7, 14:43 3
    - ditto to this... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 14:56 2
      - I still think that if people actually talked to each other instead of being told what to think by various media talking heads there wouldn't be this - Trish Nov 7, 15:06 1
        
        it boggles my mind that people like Coulter can still be effective. - Guy Nov 7, 15:08
It's interesting to note how much emphasis on "transition" there is this time around. - Beryllium Nov 7, 14:33 11
- Once the court case was settled, there was a good bit...but it was closer to X-mas, so got drowned out -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 7, 14:46
- why doesn't the fed want you to know just what it's accepting as collateral? bloomberg news sues to find out.... - x Nov 7, 14:37 1
  - whoops. obviously, this was not meant to be in response to your post....nm - x Nov 7, 14:38
- You're right. I heard 2 things are different this time: Post-9/11 and the finanicial crisis - con_carne Nov 7, 14:36
- The court battle was 2004, wasn't it? There was no transition that year. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:34 6
  - Court battle of Florida votes in 2000, which was also the time of the last transition, is what I thought -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 14:38
  - uh, what? I'm talking about "Bush v. Gore", 2000/2001. Not sure if that was the actual case name. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 14:37 4
    - Sorry, my memory really sucks. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:56 3
      - Aha! Mara has a weakness. - con_carne Nov 7, 14:57 2
        
        !ding! and !ding! -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:59 1
