- Catcher is the one position where I don't mind ceding OBP for slugging, so I don't think his contract is out of whack. -- nm - David Jan 19, 19:33 2
  - If he signed with the Mets for 1/$4.5 it wouldn't be terrible. Reports were that the Mets offered more money and more years. - musubi Jan 19, 19:40 1
    - Also, on a team that features an OBP black hole like Frenchie, we shouldn't be cedeing OBP anywhere else. - musubi Jan 19, 19:42

It has to be the fact that no one saw The Invention of Lying that it didn't inspire riots, cause, wow. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 19:18 3
- I'm going to assume it's more shocking than the wiki synopsis makes it sound. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:25 1
  - It's definitely in the presentation. I'd put it on the shelf next to Life of Brian. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 19:28
- My local Blockbuster refused to carry it. -- nm - David Jan 19, 19:19

    - Oops. Didn't see it. Replied. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 19, 19:34 1
      - I wasn't sure if that was a regular account for you. I'll go look. :) - -- nm - b! Jan 19, 19:44
  - But I really wish however is for them to remove the limit on how many points you can enter. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 19, 19:23 3
    - Yeah that's so not going to happen. I want more Avatar real D glasses. They're going for 40 bucks on ebay. -- nm - Qale Jan 19, 19:26 2
      - Oh wow. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 19, 19:30
      - Looks like they're gone. Hmm. Now the question is should I sell the ones I got. -- nm - Qale Jan 19, 19:30
- It's amazing how they take a sucky thing and keep making it worse. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:15 4
  - It's still one of the better of my loyalty reward programs going. Though, I'm not in the same league as say the characters in Up in the Air. -- nm - Qale Jan 19, 19:17 3
    - Those loyalty programs suck. If you earn enough points to use, you don't have time to use them. -- nm - amanda Jan 19, 19:33 2

    - they were all slam dunks for me, and mama rules -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 19:24
In a country with medicare and social security, how can anyone honestly claim that Liberalism is a failure? - Mop Jan 19, 19:04 14
- Not sure I would use the two programs that are scheduled to go broke if they aren't restructured as my example. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 19:05 13
  - restructuring medicare is part of the Dem's health care reform bill -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 19:07 4
    - Yes, and the problem is it's being reported as a cut and not a restructure which scares the shit out of seniors. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 19:10 3
      - There's no doubt that the GOP has a better message machine. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 19:11 2

        moment -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 19:15
  - And *why* are they going broke? - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:06 7
    - Because, as a culture, we're not very responsible financially. - ty97 Jan 19, 19:36
    - Partially because doing any kind of major reform on anything takes 60 Senate votes. - Dano Jan 19, 19:11 2
      - See: California -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 19:45
      - *ding* -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 19:12
    - Because they are funded wrong, and the Baby Boom generation is about to take out more money then they ever put in. - Redmond Jan 19, 19:08
    - the paperwork alone that the US deals with would kill me -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 19:07 1
      - but if it helps people manage their dia-bee-tus and walrus moustaches, then it's a good thing in their minds -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:07
I sometimes catch the beginning of The Forgotten after Better Off Ted. I have never made it to the first commercial break. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 19:03 2

    - It was the first hit. Your beard is making you dopey. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:57 14
      - I was talking to him on the phone and really didn't have time to look it up myself -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 18:59 2
        
        but you had time to post the question. busted. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:00 1
        
        Yes, I did. I wanted a proven link that someone used or recommended over a site that would try to sell him software to speed his connection. - Redmond Jan 19, 19:03
      - I was quicker. (I'm just saying.) -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:58 10
        
        totally, but I take every chance I get to give him a hard time. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:59 9
        
        "whatever it takes to pull the pigtails"? (I'm just saying...) -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 19:02 8

        Kinky! -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 19:11 3

- Reagan -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:55 4
  - Just because I don't always agree with his Box Office Analysis doesn't mean he's that bad. -- nm - Qale Jan 19, 19:08
  - [deleted]
  - not even close. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:59
  - just because he's canadian doesn't mean we have no confidence in him. -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:56
- Hitler? -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 18:53
- I think the economy really derailed him and it just rolled from there. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 18:52 25
  - His real problem is that the party isn't treating him like the meal ticket he is for them. - David Jan 19, 18:54 21
    - I think that's a chunk of it. THe old school dems thought it was time to get even instead of doing work. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 19:01 9
      - That's certainly how I see it and I'm frustrated because this is a time when both parties need to be finding common ground. - David Jan 19, 19:05
      - I think this is part of it. plus I think the dems thought they could rest on their laurels; that they didn't need to *do* anything. - amanchester Jan 19, 19:04 7
        
        I think the real problem is that they decided to expend their political capital on something they couldn't do. - Ender Jan 19, 19:12 2
        
        Speaking as someone who almost died last year, health care is as primary a concern as it gets. -- nm - David Jan 19, 19:18 1
        
        Word! The moment I had heart failure I became a huge fan of fixing the health care system. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 19:22
        
        well, the congress never ran on "change" as the platform. they were never going to change business as usual unless someone dragged them kicking and - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 19:10 2
        
        is it the "nerve" or the "pull"? -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 19:15
        
        the congress doesn't have a platform. it's 400 some odd individual races. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:12
        
        Agree with it or not, getting health care bills through both House isn't not doing anything. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 19:06

      - For you, his real problem is that he wiped the floor with Hillary. - David Jan 19, 18:57 8

        I don't even know what primary you mean but it's keeping me up at night nonetheless. - David Jan 19, 19:02 6
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I will, thanks. -- nm - David Jan 19, 19:17
        
        acid reflux. or is that just me? -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:06 3
        
        No, mine is lack of kitten purring. -- nm - David Jan 19, 19:17
        
        ah yes, the 3AM phone call from your stomach :( -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:07 1
        
        especially when it leaves voice mail. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 19:08
      - I agree. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:57
  - IMO it's all of it together. He promised change, and it's hard to make big changes in Washington. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:54 2
    - harder when you don't want to actually fight against anyone for it -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 18:56
    - yeah. agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 18:55

- That's my next stop. I know I can get it online, but hate to pay shipping...may be time for that prime account :) - MojaveMeg Jan 19, 19:26
- in our market it's in the flour section. you? -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:55 3
  - i think so. there's an organic place two doors from office, grains have their own section. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 19:01
  - the weg has it in organics. -- nm - amanchester Jan 19, 18:57 1
    - we might get a Weg about 5 miles from here. I am beside myself. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 18:58
And I thought Rubio would be our first teabagger senator. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 18:49
