this gets an L4... Comparing Sarah Palin and Barack Obama -- (link) - Guy Sep 5, 16:58 16

  - even conservatives know which of their candidates is the stronger one -- nm - dogbert183 Sep 5, 19:01 3
    - It's amazing. The conservatives managed to pull off a coup and replace McCain at the convention with their preferred candidate. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 19:08 2

      - why is most of the shit in that comparison relevant? -- nm - Guy Sep 5, 20:07
      - He probably community organizes more people than live in Wasilla. - liioulu Sep 5, 18:26 1
        
        Oh look I can typo on 2 boards now. - liiouu Sep 5, 18:35
  - there's something to be said for "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" - Guy Sep 5, 17:40
  - It's not so much about incorrect statement as it is about lack of information. I could make a list of 50 of Obama's accomplishment and then just put - Guigue Sep 5, 17:29 1
    - Agreed. Again, I concede it's highly biased. - Dr.Vermin Sep 5, 17:43
this place seems slow, did everyone move back to TT? -- nm - Guy Sep 5, 16:47 1
- They're moonlighting. They'll come back. You'll see! -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 19:00
Balloon-Gate! I love Brian Williams just cracking on Andrea on MSNBC on it. Really funny. -- nm - Pete Sep 5, 16:40 1

  - I dress in crappy clothes every day. Never gets me anywhere. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 16:49

- as long as you don't sing. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 5, 16:31
- Why not? I walk with a strut all the time. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 16:21

    - *giggles, coyly bats eyelashes* -- nm - Diva Sep 5, 15:32
    - you stole my post. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 15:27
NOW I know why they used the middle school pic!! Look who went there.... - CrankYanker Sep 5, 15:21
So that place behind McCain during the speech was Walter Reed. Walter Reed... Middle School. -- (link) - Raul Sep 5, 15:11 4
- posted earlier today. but yeah, seems strange they would make that mistake. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 15:14 3

- What the heck happened? -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 23:02
From B2: I don't care as much about who is most likely to be able to make change. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 5, 14:14 5
- Nicely put. I think I posted earlier in the week "change in and of itself is not necessarily a good thing" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 5, 14:26 2
  - agreed, but I would also say the same thing for being a maverick, - tRuMaN Sep 5, 14:36 1
    - Absolutely agreed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 5, 15:20
- True enough. After all, Ron Paul can promise change and probably wants to change a lot of things, but I don't want that kind of change. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 14:23
- if it hadn't been for the last sentence, I would have thought this was about Flacco vs. Smith - crash davis Sep 5, 14:20

CBS is suing NFL Players Association over fantasy football -- (link) - crash davis Sep 5, 12:15 5
- You're not supposed to be able to own raw data, but I remember reading something about how courts are going the other way on this. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:19 4
  - I would agree with CBS's stance reflexively, as the thought of statistics being owned bothers me -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 12:30 3
    - yeah. next thing you know, the Weather Channel will claim rights to the temperature and humidity stats -- nm - Guy Sep 5, 13:49
    - If you sit down in front of a game on Sunday and jot down a note about yardage, are you stealing? -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:41 1

brand new $1 billion Toyota plant hasn't opened yet and they are already cutting production in half -- (link) - zork Sep 5, 12:04 6
- Their math is off. If they were going to hire 2000 and hiring was cut 40%, they'd be hiring 1200. Instead, hiring is cut TO 40% or original estimates. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:08 5
  - "or" = "of". -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:08 4
    - Muphry's law -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:46 3
      - Muphry's = Murphy's. Or was that part of the joke? -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 13:12 2
        
        Look up "Muphry's Law" in Wikipedia (the way I spelled it) and you'll get it. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 13:24 1
        
        Muprhy's law strokes again! -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 13:27
There are few people I don't like or am not civil to. I can only think of one except. I just found #2 today. - Raul Sep 5, 11:56 2
- Nah, I tolerate the first guy, and he tolerates me. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 15:12
- you mean #3 -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 5, 12:14
What's with all the jeering from the crowd last night when McCain talked about hard times and looking for a new job? -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 11:52 5
- whenever the crowd chanted "usa usa" it was to cover up a protestor. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 12:36
- Code Pink protester on the convention floor. -- nm - znufrii Sep 5, 12:00 3
  - Ah, so that was the ground noise and static? -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 12:06 2

    - yes, I am - you got Robbie Gould -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 11:37 4
      - its ok, I will take out my anger at you for this little misstep in halo tonight. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 11:47 3
        
        Halo tonight?!? Sweet! - Krusty Sep 5, 11:54 2
        
        our house is still in dissaray after we had some tile put down, and I haven't gotten my xbox - tRuMaN Sep 5, 12:37
        
        I generally confine my playing to the weekends - tonight, there will be blood -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 12:08
- you have my pick. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 11:31
With a post such as "I had never heard of Hulu until Dr. Horrible", it's clear that Penny Arcade and I exist in different realities. - Raul Sep 5, 11:08 6
- heh. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 11:14
- I knew about Hulu months before Dr. Horrible, because Slashdot made fun of it -- nm - Beryllium Sep 5, 11:13 4
  - It was posted on TT quite a long time ago. -- nm - mara Sep 5, 11:31 3
    - TT is where I first heard of the site. I just watched In The Heat of the Night there yesterday. -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 11:37 2
      - Speaking of TV on the Internet, thewb.com is awesome. Buffy, Firefly, Friends, Gilmore Girls, Everwood, Babylon 5... -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 11:40 1
        
        I meant the film with Sidney Poitier but I mostly use the site to watch tv shows. - Krusty Sep 5, 11:46
its hard to rely on my own good senses. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 10:25 1
- but it's more fun my way. -- nm - the Devil Sep 5, 10:27
wait...I get ESPN radio during the Tiger Woods game? awesome. -- nm - Pete Sep 5, 10:21

- what about *in* your supply closet? -- nm - the colin Sep 5, 10:43
I watched To Kill A King last night. The film came out in 2003, but just recently got released in the US on dvd - crash davis Sep 5, 10:13 9
- In Stage Beauty, Rupert Everett plays Charles II. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 10:27 1
  - that is some nice symmetry -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 10:29
- I wondered if that was good. -- nm - Pete Sep 5, 10:22 6
  - its a quiet film, but if you give it a chance, you may find it fascinating - crash davis Sep 5, 10:28 5
    - I hoped you shushed them. Have you seen the Lost Legion? -- nm - Pete Sep 5, 10:45 4
      - no I haven't - how is that? -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 10:47 3
        
        I don't know. Looks like a great cast, Ben Kingsley, Kevin McKidd...about Arthur and the fall of the Romans in England. -- nm - Pete Sep 5, 10:50 2
        
        ooooh? -- nm - znufrii Sep 5, 10:57 1
        
        Kevin McKidd as a Roman legionaire? Absurd! -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 11:49

- Ever? -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 09:45
and TT Ports are down again...(Boards working fine) -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 09:32 5
- You'd think they would at least extend the HALT. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 5, 10:04
- I blame the ML & Mel ticket for this occurrence. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 5, 09:34 3
  - it's a weird way to run a business...right before I'm sure is one of their busier periods of the week, to fuck things up and PO a ton of traders -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 09:40 2
    - I'm not PO'd, just have more time to do important stuff and I might not go back with the dedication I had. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 5, 09:43 1

Would a cabby give me a hard time about having to drive from SFO to downtown San Jose (or vice versa?) -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 09:10 5
- Take a look at Caltrain.com -- nm - BAD Sep 5, 09:22
- The 80 bucks for the cab ride (each way) isn't worth it. I'll just take the pond hopper up to Portland and fly into San Jose. -- nm - Raul Sep 5, 09:17
- You might want to call the cab company ahead of time. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 5, 09:13
- Absolutely not, but they might be able to charge a fee for his time to get back to SFO. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 5, 09:13
- Is saying "cha-ching!" a hard time? -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 09:11
DAD! Jim broke the board. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 5, 09:08 7

        He saw it last year...I'd figure he'll see it again this season. - Jim Sep 5, 09:50 1
