Canadian Cabinet Shuffle Time....Headline: Stock Day becomes Mr. No. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 07:55 4
- Anything worthwhile happening here? - Subversive Jan 19, 08:01 3
  - Day's the headline because he's been a finance minister and TB Pres controls spending. That means Harper is serious about the budget tightening. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 08:14
  - Other than Raitt somehow still keeping a portfolio, it's pretty minor. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 08:03 1
    - There was never any doubt that Raitt was staying in cabinet. Toronto-area MP, still an up and comer, on her basic files, she's quite capable. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 08:17
Best Chuck of the year and the best Castle of the year last night. -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 07:55 4
- The Castle seemed odd to me. It seemed like it should have been a 2-part Season Finale, not some random mid-season episode. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 08:03 1
  - setting up the larger story I think -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 08:04

  - Who won? -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 08:17 1

I also noticed AC left that camera behind but likely one of his CNN security dudes picked it up. He and Sanjay have really been there for the people.. - zork Jan 19, 07:41 4
- I think there is probably more to that story (about the UN). -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 08:23
- The camera grabbed it. You can kind of see it. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 08:20 1
  - the camera guy grabbed it -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 08:25

  - I'll ask it again, did anyone have as bad a year as Christian Bale? - Will Hunting Jan 19, 07:56 8
    - Poor guy, his movies only made 577 million dollars. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 08:18
    - I liked Public Enemies, but I've never liked Bale. He's an overhyped actor who isn't very talented. - MDH Jan 19, 08:06 3
      - I loved Public Enemies, A. -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 08:11
      - I still need to see the Machinist, but he's great in Am Psycho, 3:10 to Yuma and of all things, Shaft. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 08:10 1
        
        I like the Machinist. Also Laurel Canyon. But haven't liked him much since Dark Knight. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 19, 08:13
    - to your IM - it was. promise -- nm - Epiphany Jan 19, 07:59 2
      - and imo Bale is not that good in either. -- nm - Diva Jan 19, 08:04
      - Oh, I saw both.....tedious in both cases. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 08:00
- I tried to go to the theatre to watch Up in the Air, but it didn't work out, so I didn't end up seeing any movies this weekend. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:41 2
  - I think the last movie I watched was The International (which I think I gave a B+ or so) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:43 1
    - (Up next, then Butch Cassidy. Not sure when I'll get to those.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:44
- Up in the Air - A, 9 B -- nm - Epiphany Jan 19, 07:40

  - I'm starting to view this movie as something of a precursor to Avatar. -- nm - David Jan 19, 08:11
  - I couldn't finish watching it. I found little in it to like. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 08:04
  - Although I really enjoyed it on first time at the cinema, it doesn't hold up on repeat viewing. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 08:00
  - certainly enjoyable, if not particularly substantial. - znufrii Jan 19, 07:48
  - that's always been one of my "Nobody Loves This Movie But Me" movies (spoiler) - prayformojo Jan 19, 07:46
  - I've owned this for approximately four years, and never made time to watch it. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 07:40 1

LMS, everybody wants to be close to the subway and you usually pay a lot more for it. also, not many parking spaces when you are that close. - zork Jan 19, 07:36 3
- I think the problem is most of the places they've seen so far are dives. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 07:45 2
  - They can try this company... - Roger More Jan 19, 08:02 1
    - Thanks. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 08:15
Newegg has Dark Sector and Crackdown plus an official blue rechargeable battery pack for the 360 for only $17.99 -- (link) - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:36 3

  - Crackdown itself is easily worth that price :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:38 1
    - i got bored with it, but then I got bored with infamous and red faction guerrilla too. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:39

    - Basically that the Dems have a bigger majority than the GOP has since '23 yet they're rolling over while they let the other party have their way for 8 - years under Bush. -- nm - nubby Jan 19, 07:44
- Anything that could cause Reid and Pelosi to lose huge, I'm all for. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 07:40 2
  - Anything that causes the people of America to lose, I'm against. - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:42 1
    - I am overwhelmingly frustrated that many MA voters today are going "do I vote to preserve the health bill, or do I vote for the candidate I like?" -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 07:44
- I'll go for "Senate looks at loss, says "fuck it" and goes nuclear on filibuster." - TWuG Jan 19, 07:39 5
  - does your IM's first sentence have any typos? (It's possible that it doesn't, but tied with the second sentence, it's confusing) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:40 4
    - Sorry. Swap either the order of the first or the order of the second. -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 07:43 3
      - I'm just wondering if you meant 2010/2012, or if your 2010/2010 combo is correct? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:45 2
        
        he's saying the Dems are headed for a buzzsaw in 2010 anyway, so might as well pass something. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 07:46 1
        
        oh, OK. i get it now :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:46
- I'll say 8. I think the House voting on the Senate bill whole cloth is probably their best option though. - TFox Jan 19, 07:39 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Maybe, but I really want to underscore what a suspect candidate Coakley is. - TFox Jan 19, 07:43 1
      - She's just a truly bad campaigner. She has no interest in being a politician. - Diva Jan 19, 08:02

- i think that brown winning would actually light a fire under the dems to get it passed quickly. - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:35 2

This was being said last wednesday...the UN would quietly agree to us taking over Haiti as a protectorate - Will Hunting Jan 19, 07:32 13
- would that mean that the corrupt US government is in turn making a deal with the devil? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:37 1
  - Duh. The nutjob conservatives (a subset of conservatives) have been saying Obama is the Anti-Christ sing he decided to run. -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 07:46
- If Haitians are agreeable to it, it really is just about the best thingthat could come from this. - TWuG Jan 19, 07:35 10
  - heh, any government you guys install would probably be less corrupt than their last five -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:38 6
    - Don't worry, if it's not corrupt enough then they'll have a coup to fix it. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 07:47
    - you underestimate us -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 07:38 4
      - haiti's had some *very* corrupt governments -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:39
