  - surely would've killed him, but no, I couldn't imagine him retiring in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 20:22

I am mildly curious to see how abruptly Pelosi does a complete 180, and starts pushing the House Dems to pass the Senate bill. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 20:05 19
- Dems in moderate-to-conservative districts are going to be scared shitless to vote for anything without Stupak. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 20:30 6
  - No doubt rounding up the votes is going to be a challenge. Not impossible, but a challenge. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 20:31 5
    - Obama needs to leash the Blue Dogs... - znufrii Jan 19, 20:32 4
      - The opposing view would be that when you're already hemorrhaging independent support you don't piss off the moderates... -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 20:38 3
        
        "not pissing off the moderates" has been the reason behind pretty much every single Democratic concession in the last ten years. - znufrii Jan 19, 20:51 2
        
        That's also exactly how they got their majority, running moderate candidates. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 21:04
        
        Haha! The Republicans say the same thing about their moderates. By the way, you are wrong. - Redmond Jan 19, 20:55
- there've been stories about behind the scenes talks for days. she has to be part of that. -- nm - b! Jan 19, 20:29
- She may have taken that stance too keep faith in Coakley winning, and not to concede to early. - Redmond Jan 19, 20:25 2
  - She's had that stance well before the Dems gave even a moment's thought that they might lose MA. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 20:26 1
    - Well if Coakley wins Pelosi doesn't need to compromise. I think Pelosi probably does a 180 as you suggest btw. -- nm - Redmond Jan 19, 20:28
- it's already started with Steny earlier today... -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 20:22 5
  - although... are they completely idiotic? why are they already discussing with the media the idea of a two-bill strategy? - TFox Jan 19, 20:25 4
    - no comment re: idiocy. both sides have histories of putting all kinds of stuff out there to test the waters. -- nm - b! Jan 19, 20:33 2
      - but see, that's what i don't get, because having the House pass the Senate bill is the least shady option left... - TFox Jan 19, 20:35 1
        
        I think they think it takes away the shady, since they're being transparent about the shadiness. ;) - - b! Jan 19, 20:39
    - well, these *are* Democrats we're talking about here... -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 20:27
- Waiting on the Senate to change their rules to negate the possibility of a filibuster would guarantee failure, so the sooner they - TWuG Jan 19, 20:12

        Two 12+ ft HDMI cables so I can get the netgear thingees to plug in. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:08 25
        
        HDMI is for video. Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6/Ethernet is for networking. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 20:18
        
        you obivously mean 2 12" cat5 (or cat5e, or cat6) network cables. cause you dont need hdmi cables for that - Truman Jan 19, 20:09 23

        umm, i was looking them up on monoprice, so i offer this link -- (link) - Truman Jan 19, 20:14 5
        
        Sold! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:15 4
        
        they also sell that cable in a variety of colors if orange doesnt match your decour. -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:17 2
        
        This will take some thought. Better not order them tonight. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:20 1
        
        whatever. i am just gonna make sure that when you do play halo, groiny gets ample opportunities to teabag you. -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:21
        
        monoprice, the preferred cable store of many sters. -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:16
        
        You know, it would be easier (for us both) if you linked me to them. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:11
        
        That may be the case. The game came with one (a short one) and another was given to me. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:10 13
        
        you have to be messing with me at this point - Truman Jan 19, 20:12 12
        
        Ah. "game" meant "unit". -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:14
        
        Yes. The cable from the adaptor to the unit, and the other tot he router. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:13 10
        
        Maybe let Logan set it up. He can't do worse than you at this point. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 20:15 9
        
        or amy even. - Truman Jan 19, 20:15 8

        is this PIR rules? i say 5 -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:19 1
        
        Dozens. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:40
        
        I'm just thinking Logan has more recent practice with putting shapes into like-shapes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 20:17 2
        
        true. he can also probably navigate the dvr setup better than spawn. -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:17 1
        
        I am like Captain Awesome. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 20:23

        unless you like wasting amy's money. -- nm - Truman Jan 19, 20:10

  - Two buttons? What the crap is this? -- nm - 8 year olds Jan 19, 20:10
