    - [deleted]

      - I'm surprised I'm seemingly the only one on ST who watches Jersey Shore. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 1, 09:44
      - I believe "creeping" is "hitting on", and "GTL" = guide to life. But I don't know what a grenade is. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 09:37 18
        
        I got the "creeping" part but I needed help on the rest. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 1, 09:38
        
        grenade is a chick who is fat and ugly, afaik -- nm - kare Nov 1, 09:38
        
        grenade is a really ugly chick you throw yourself when you're a wingman so your friends won't get hurt, iirc -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 09:38 4

        i seriously have not looked forward to anyone's crash and burn as much as i look forward to his - kare Nov 1, 09:42 1
        
        Not sure how true it is. But I've heard he has a ridiculous financial planner. - MDH Nov 1, 09:43
        
        I would know who this guy was if he were sitting next to me. I have no clue -- nm - CQ Nov 1, 09:41 2
        
        er wouldn't know -- nm - CQ Nov 1, 09:41 1

- lol. yeah pretty much. - kare Nov 1, 09:38
MDH...Cook (one of the better guys you'll ever find at this) has 176 Democrats favored seats with another 50 in the toss-up. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 09:29 3
- He makes some good points. I think the NY Times summary has a picture I agree more with though. - MDH Nov 1, 09:35 1

      - I think many of us ST males are in the same situation. -- nm - CQ Nov 1, 09:34 2
        
        yep. We're all either really intelligent, smart, or (obvie.) persistent -- nm - zork Nov 1, 09:58 1
        
        would have taken " well hung" for an answer as well. - Epiphany Nov 1, 10:03

- The key will be how Boehner does at herding his group. Which shockingly seems less cartoonish then the potential GOP Senate majority. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 09:30 6
  - [deleted]
  - the Teabaggers will not be herded. - Mel Profit Nov 1, 09:34 4
    - I disagree. I think the movement has already been co-opted to large extent my the GOP, any stragglers who don't get on board with the program - znufrii Nov 1, 09:36 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I disagree. All they need to do in the Senate is convince the remaining Democrats that the only way the Dems are going to get any part of their agenda - znufrii Nov 1, 09:44
      - Interesting idea which brings up the question... - Mel Profit Nov 1, 09:37

So, what are the odds that the new GOP majority in the house will force a shutdown of the federal government sometime in the next Congress? -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 09:25 5

- you mean the federal Socialist Goverment ? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 09:30
- I think they're dumb enough to not learn from their mistakes. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 09:28
