      - Hans made the mistake of not being a star of a comic movie; the Joker is in one. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:39 3
        
        Somebody should have told that to that Burton a$$hole. -- nm - Jack Nicholson si Dec 2, 09:40

        Huh? 2016 will be an open Democratic primary either way. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:40
    - The incumbent party usually loses seats in off-years (is my understanding) but stalwarts announcing they won't run again doesn't help the opposition. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 09:27 3
      - The first 2 years is based on the performance; by year 6, the incumbents get crushed - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:30
      - It depends a lot on how Obama does. If he stumbles out of the gate, yeah. If he starts cleanly and gets forward momentum... - znufrii Dec 2, 09:28

- Wow. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:24 2

RogerMore, i have heard that Montreal has the largest snow removal budget in the world. -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:16 6
- I;m not surprised - I don't think there are many larger cities that would receive as much snow. Maybe Moscow? St Petersburg? -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 09:34 1
  - With amalgamation, the sheer area requiring snow removal is staggering. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 09:42

there's also still time for gordon campbell to resign in disgrace. (or did you mean whathisface, the post-clark/pre-dosanjh dude?). -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 09:15 3
- I'm shocked the DUI didn't bring him down. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:16 2
  - I'm less shocked about that than the non-issue Ralph had with accosting the homeless dude. - mafic Dec 2, 09:19 1

Poll: If Vince Vaughn were a little more refined, could he be the next Bill Murray? -- nm - Max Dec 2, 09:12 15
- No. Vaughn is more of a blabbermouth, while Bill Murray is more subversive -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 09:19 1
  - and Bill Murray can actually act. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 09:23
- a lot better chance than Ferrel -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:17 4
  - I dunno, there's a smaaaalllll chance that W.F. could hit the right notes to Murray it up ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:18 3
    - not really. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 09:20 2
      - I would agree he has a better chance than Vaughn. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:30 1
        
        Ferrell and Vaughn are far closer to each other than either of them is to Murray -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 09:34
- Bill Murray is refined? -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:14 1
  - He embodies the pointy stick of comedy. He oozes funny. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:15
- no. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 09:14
- I don't know if he's that inately funny ... so chalk me up as a huge "maybe" on that - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:13
- Nah, Murray's miles beyond Vaughn as a comedic actor. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:13 3

- Clearly, you have a closeted bondage fetish and wish to be recognized as the best at it, regardless of actual participation. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:12
The fun thing about Canadian politics is how incredibly fluid it is. - Reagen Dec 2, 09:10 5
- I'm curious as hell to get a sense of the general Canadian's opinion of this. We just had a ten-person discussion amongst a whole... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:22 2
  - the morning guy on the alt. station here was practically looking for a rope and a lamppost. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:26
  - Canadians haven't cared about politics in years. This is a nice change. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 09:26
- pain fades. it's why people have more than one child. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 09:12
- I'm so non-political, I barely have any idea what's going on. -- nm - Shaun Dec 2, 09:12
I'm starting to see a lot of down side to what Dion is doing. But I see his end game. - Mop Dec 2, 09:09 2
- it's not even so much about that - it was either this or four years of Harper going "Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself." - Reagen Dec 2, 09:13 1
  - Yeah, he's really coming off as a douche, isn't he? If Dion can take Harper down with him, that will be nothing short of heroic. - Mop Dec 2, 09:18
I remembered what I was going to ask kilbo. (nm) - nubbium Dec 2, 09:07 1
- you ate some fish??? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 2, 09:09

    - WRONG!! -- nm - David SI Dec 2, 09:14
- *runs into the room, bounces off the couch and straddle-tackles the Xmas tree* -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:08 10
  - Keifer? -- nm - Butcher Pete Dec 2, 09:12 8
    - No Pusher.....re-enacting my favorite scene in Elf. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:14 7
      - Which Sutherland also did, quite publicly. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:18 6
        
        He was very drunk at the time -- nm - amoxy Dec 2, 09:20 1
        
        I should hope so. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:21
        
        Huh, sorry. I never even heard of him doing that. Sorry Pusher Pete! -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:19 3
        
        here! -- (link) - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:20 2
        
        That's fantastic. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:23 1
        
        It really endeared him to me. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:32
