Wow. 4 people voted for Halladay over Lee for the Cy. That's surprising to me. -- (link) - TFox Nov 13, 11:48 6
- [deleted]
- Halladay did have something like 9 complete games -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 13, 11:53 4

    - I'm not taking anything away from him. Awesome season. Halladay pitches in the toughest division in baseball too -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 13, 11:59 2
      - And three complete game losses plays into it as well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 13, 12:01 1

    - give you salmonella! -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:54 1
      - YSMM -- nm - zork Nov 13, 11:55
    - Nobody ever does, because nobody sees it coming and they never survive to tell the tale. -- nm - Max Nov 13, 11:52 4
      - This may explain Skags disappearance from TT. -- nm - Inigo Nov 13, 11:54 3
        
        spooged on one too many turles, you think? -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 11:55 2

OK, FEMA is not in any way, shape or form a security force. And the military is barred by law from conducting law enforcement activities on domestic - loosilu Nov 13, 11:43 24
- /defuses mines by executive order/ -- nm - Pres.Obama Nov 13, 11:44
- So it's a political non-statement meant to garner applause? - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:44 18
  - I guess. The prohibition is called Posse Comitatus. The border patrol stuff confuses me, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:45 1
    - Yes, I know about it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:47
  - From the YouTube clip, I didn't hear any mention or insinuation that he was speaking of a *new* force - oblique Nov 13, 11:44 15
    - or the word security might have been a slip of the tongue, like my fellow prisoners. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 11:48 7
      - That was my guess. I can't imagine he was pitching a new concept. Rather, he was talking up AmeriCorps or something similar. - Mop Nov 13, 11:52
      - It wasn't , but its a highly nuanced idea. That security can be achieved through other measures than might. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 11:50 5
        
        Community Hug Patrol, mount up! - Pres.Obama Nov 13, 11:52 4

        Blocks "National Security Force" Facebook Application -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 11:55 2
        
        "your friend crash davis has sent you A DOZEN KRISPY KREME. Accept request?" -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 11:58 1
        
        Your electronic calories do not tempt me. BLOCK -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 11:59
    - That clip is waaaaay to vague to guess much out of it. Maybe with more context. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 13, 11:45
    - Which would be good. Is the change.gov agenda page back up? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:45
    - well, that's not national. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:45 4
      - True, but it could be a federal movement to boost state funding of those agencies -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:46 3
        
        I don't think I like that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:47 2
        
        I like it if it is done in exchange for greater transparency. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:47 1
        
        what do you mean by transparency? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:49
- [deleted] 3
  - don't get me started! -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:44
  - X-Files reference. nice. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 11:44 1
    - That's where I was going, too. -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 11:46
SO's shows I watch sometimes: NCIS, Numbers, The Mentalist, Bones - TFox Nov 13, 11:42 1
- yeah, I'm diggin' the Mentalist too -- nm - decline Nov 13, 11:43
The fees on these programs are disappointing. I just might have to stick with domestic. Hi znufrii! -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 13, 11:42 1
- it's REALLY cheap for what you get, and it is probably the only way to get a work permit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:46
As an aside, I tip my cap to kilbo on his political commentary this year. - David Nov 13, 11:42 4
- hear hear. and you're not so bad yourself. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 11:56
- *nods in apprecation* - oblique Nov 13, 11:44
- That's what she said! -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 11:43 1
