in other news, i have an animal / animal shelter question ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 27, 07:52 2
- Yes, animal shelters have lots of paid staff. Just walk in and ask for an application, or check their website. -- nm - mara Nov 27, 07:57
- it's definitely a labor of love -- the pay can really, really suck, depending on what you decide to do. good luck! -- nm - kare Nov 27, 07:57
Tomelle serve Thanksgiving dinner for Goodwill -- (link) - nubby Nov 27, 07:52
NBCs HD broadcast of the Macy's parade seems to have quite the echo chamber effect to it. It's got to be them because I am not getting that on other - HdnAgnda Nov 27, 07:40
Thanksgiving roll. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 27, 07:39 2
- why thank you... now pass the sweet potato cassarole? :) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 27, 07:43 1
  - by the way... i think this is the year that i finally try pun'kin pie -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 27, 07:49
Huh. Every season ticket holder for the Pelicans in '09 gets to throw out the first pitch once. - nubby Nov 27, 07:33 7
- well that's nifty. - Callisto Nov 27, 07:38
- ok that -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 07:36 5
  - is pretty cool. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 07:36 4
    - They must have very few season ticket holders. -- nm - nubby Nov 27, 07:37 3
      - or they play like 6 games a day. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 07:57 1
        
        Honestly, I think it's that there are more than one first pitch per game. -- nm - nubby Nov 27, 08:02
      - that's what i was thinking. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 07:40
Axl is suing Dr. Pepper. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 07:28
The Other Boleyn Girl is really boring but it did motivate me to look up the actual history. -- nm - Dano Nov 27, 07:22 2
- because you weren't looking at Scarlett's boobies -- nm - zork Nov 27, 07:34 1
  - I didn't even like Bana in the movie but I think that's at least partially because of how the role was written. -- nm - Dano Nov 27, 07:40
Hey mafic, did you see my post last night about the end of the vote subsidy? Say what you want about Harper or the subsidy, but you have to admire... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:21 32
- I don;t like the posturing behind it (recession! everyone has to sacrifice!), but I don't have a problem with the end of the subsidy. - mafic Nov 27, 07:38 3
  - I'm hoping and hoping (probably futilely) that the deficit talk is just to low expectations and then beat them. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:46 2
    - still, days before the election he was saying there wouldn't be a deficit, and canada would be avoiding recession. - mafic Nov 27, 07:50 1
      - Absolutely. And they are wearing it. I mentioned this to the Finance Minister when I happened to be standing next to him at the convention. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:53
- I'd support having the opposition crumble the government at this point. - Beryllium Nov 27, 07:29 18
  - Well, to be fair, the vast majority of Canadians do not support the subsidy. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:31 17
    - Whether you think the subsidy is a good idea or not, I don't see how that argument plays into it. - Reagen Nov 27, 07:34 13
      - Because the majority of Canadians, if given a direct choice, may support a political party, but wouldn't give a dime to them. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:38 12
        
        It's also a way to ensure that not only the parties that appeal to the richest will get funding - Guigue Nov 27, 07:47 11
        
        Also, your argument higher in this thread definitely has a slant against the Bloc - Guigue Nov 27, 07:50 9
        
        I'm just presenting arguments that are out there. The fact that it supports a seperatist party bothers some people. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:55 5
        
        yeah, but part of democracy is having to live with the crap you don't like. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 07:59 3
        
        For sure, but that doesn't make the debate less valid either, right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 08:01 2
        
        no, but "I don't like that other people's votes subsidize a party I don't like." isn't a reason to scrap the system either. -- nm - mafic Nov 27, 08:02
        
        It makes the argument less valid -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 08:02
        
        Every party bothers some people - Guigue Nov 27, 07:58
        
        I don't like the Bloc either, but if we want money in this program to not go to them, other parties should have policies that appeal better to Quebec - Reagen Nov 27, 07:52 2
        
        Honestly, this election is evidence that many Quebecois won't vote for the federalist parties no matter how good their Quebec positions are. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 08:00
        
        Agreed. They're the last party I would have voted for in the last election, but I don't like this way of taking funding away -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 07:55
        
        Oh absolutely that is what this is. To be fair however, the Tories are giving up $10 million of the $30 million themselves. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:49
    - It's not about supporting a party, it's about supporting a democracy. And through paying taxes, every taxpayer funds something they disagree with. -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 07:34
    - I don't want to have to support a party. In fact, I'd like to swing the other way - ban private funding. - Beryllium Nov 27, 07:32 1
      - That's fine. I'm just saying that there's a decent argument from a purely policy position against it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:34
- I hate this "everything" is a confidence vote tactic. It's anti-democratic. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 07:24 8
  - And there's nothing anti-democratic about it. The opposition could vote against them if they don't feel they can support the bill. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:29 6
    - it's exactly the same kind of tyranny of the majority crap the grits used back in the '90s, only then the tories were thanking their lucky stars they - mafic Nov 27, 07:42
    - I ultimately feel it's an underhanded way of going about things. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 07:30 4
      - Right, but let's go back to why Harper increased the use of them a year and change ago. The opposition was stalling and stalling on his justice bills - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:35 2
        
        at which point it makes all just abotu screwing over the other guy. - Reagen Nov 27, 07:46 1
        
        I do believe that a total free vote system is likely not possible under our system, whether we would like it or not. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:52
      - Exactly. And "parliamentary history" is littered with underhandedness, both here and abroad. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 07:31
  - This is a money bill related package, so by parliamentary definition, I believe it has to be. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 07:26
Holiday angst hits the Mel/Diva household: "We're out of Baileys?!!! How the hell did that happen??!!!!" -- nm - Diva Nov 27, 07:09 9

- John McCain after losing the election. First one I saw was getting banned from xbox live and I keep comparing any others to that one still. -- nm - zork Nov 27, 06:56 2

  - there was a good football a year or so ago. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 07:02
