Pursuant to the discussion of integrity below: I live in a province that hasn't had an honest Premier in *fifty years*. It gets annoying. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:56 9

  - You live in Illinois? ;) (the list of governors is..uhm..interesting) - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 17:04 5

- Variety of stone succulent.... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Sep 8, 16:40 1

Youkilis! -- nm - CQ Sep 8, 16:25
Pedroia! -- nm - CQ Sep 8, 16:22
re B2: My co-worker has had breathing problems for years ... persistent cough, shortness of breath. He finally had imaging done last week. Turns out - loosilu Sep 8, 16:16 10
- good luck to him -- nm - Epiphany Sep 8, 16:49

  - God, this is just an awful few days for health news. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 16:22
- 10cm ... hmm. For years? hmm. I suppose it could be benign, or at least non-metastatic. Those would be the best results. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:17 4
  - definitely cancer, the question is how malignant. The slow growing nature makes me hopeful it's not bad. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 16:20 2
    - oh, yah, that is hopeful. - b. Sep 8, 16:24 1

  - (good luck to him, I hope it comes out in his favour) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:17
Out of my daughter's class of 16, only 4 watched Obama's speech. - TWuG Sep 8, 16:13 38
- When I was in school, the Presidency had integrity (mainly because we didn't know what was going on behind closed doors) and you eagerly watched any - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:34 19
  - When you were in school did you have to walk uphill both ways? - BB Sep 8, 17:22 1
    - We jumped on freight trains instead of walking the 3 miles to school. True story. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 17:30
  - Now, the only people who speak of "integrity" are old people; everyone else's motto is "Everybody Lies." -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:36 16
    - Sad. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:37 15
      - Yes, and who do we have to thank for it? - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:40 14
        
        No Carter. He was a little too honest. He caused a scandal by admitting that he had lusted in his heart. - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:50 4
        
        He slept in the same bed as his wife!? Good heavens! - BB Sep 8, 17:34
        
        didn't he also say he had worn women's clothing? or was that just the SNL sketch I am remembering? -- nm - JenBro Sep 8, 17:07 1
        
        That might be an SNL sketch. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 17:15
        
        I think of him every time I see the 'bunny of death' part of Monty Python's Holy Grail. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:52
        
        I agree with Nixon, Clinton, and Bush II -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:42 6
        
        Iran Contra = Reagan. Ironically, though, it was his integrity that causes you to disagree. - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:44 5
        
        Except that, Ollie North took the fall. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:45 4
        
        sfek, people wanted to believe it was government running without the President's knowledge. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:48 3
        
        uhm, Reagen went on the news in 1987 to *SAY* it was government running without the President's knowledge. - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:51 2
        
        exactly. He said it and people wanted to believe it..... some thought "he wouldn't lie to us" and others figured he was just too old to really know - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:53 1
        
        Pretty much, the Independent Investigators found this to be accurate. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 16:58
        
        I think we can extend that list back to JFK as well. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:41 1
        
        Not at the time though. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:42
- It's funny. I saw Newt on Today this morning. All of a sudden he was for having kids watch the speech - after he actually read it. - CovingtonCat Sep 8, 16:27 4
  - Well, there's his mistake right there. - BB Sep 8, 17:45
  - I guess they suddenly realized they didn't want to labelled as anti-education. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:28 2
    - I assume you can take care of your CC turns now. I took a turn in the Mongol game, but didn't have to in the other. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 16:29 1
      - yes, thanks. You did great. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:48
- The high school next door isn't even back in session until tomorrow :/ - MojaveMeg Sep 8, 16:21 3
  - Chicago's been back a week, some started even earlier. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:27
  - I know. When I was a kid I typically wouldn't be back in school until at least mid-September. -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 16:25
  - I doubt there's more than a couple days all year long where every school is in session. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 8, 16:24
- Just think of all those socialist notions of taking responsibily for your education and lisenting and staying in school. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:19 1
  - It's amusing to me that the GOP are suddenly against a president talking about personal responsibility. -- nm - TWuG Sep 8, 16:24
- those ingrat kids should mhave all stayed inside watching TV instead of going outside to play! -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 16:18
- instead of recess? jeez. I am appalled at how this has gone down. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 16:17 1
  - People who watched the speech will face Socialist death panels in Kenya. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 8, 16:20
- If only he'd had Spongebob Squarepants give the speech in his stead. -- nm - Qale Sep 8, 16:16
- Too bad it's gonna be juvy for them. -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 16:15
- Given that choice, I would have skipped. Age 16? I would have read the transcript on TT. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:15 1
  - ... man, my reading comprehension has REALLY declined since I was 16. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:15
sitwap: eddie izzard is almost done with his incredible a-marathon-a-day effort to fundraise for sportrelief (a la comic relief). - b. Sep 8, 16:11 1
- he is quite amazing -- nm - Epiphany Sep 8, 16:52
Qale - I thought you sparkled in the sunshine normally. - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:10 2
- Don't blame it on the sunshine. Don't blame it on the moonlight. Blame it on the boogie. -- nm - Qale Sep 8, 16:13 1
  - I'll blame it on the rain, if it pleases and sparkles. -- nm - nubby Sep 8, 16:14

  - you are a wealth of information. thanks! -- nm - Guy Sep 8, 16:19
  - [deleted]
  - (I know the subject comes across as pretty condescending, but I wanted to counter the "Around the island" part of your IM :)) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:14 2
    - The subject line doesn't take into account the size of Israel changes like every thirty minutes either. -- nm - Qale Sep 8, 16:15 1
      - well, this is true. Wikipedia lists it as either 20,000 or 22,000 square KM right now (for obvious reasons). VI: 32,000 sqkm -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:16
You know what I hate working on at work? Anything that is supposed to automatically send an email. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:02 1
- I feel your pain on that one. - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:07
