      - [deleted]
      - Who said anything about bipartisanship. They won in 2006 and 2008 by beating the GOP to the middle; not the loony left. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:53 5
        
        and what was the reelection rate for Blue Dogs this time, around 50%? -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 11:54 4
        
        Cuz the middle thought the Democrats weren't involved in the middle anymore. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:55 3
        
        The middle didn't vote. That's what happens at mid-terms. - David Nov 17, 11:57 2
        
        They did show up to vote. They voted GOP. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:58 1
        
        No, the people who did show up voted GOP. Those were the ones with motivation this time due to the politics of fear. - David Nov 17, 12:04
      - Really, Shuler would have made the Democratic party Republican-Lite -- nm - amoxy Nov 17, 11:53 2
        
        Not at all. There isn't a Republican-lite. The entire point of politics is to win. And the GOP has gone so far right in the last 20 years, that the - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:55
        
        or at least moretso than it already is... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 11:54
  - The 43 who voted for him? Agreed. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 17, 11:50 16
    - Nah, the 150 who backed the face of their decimation. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:53 15
      - the same liberalism that gave us the mortgage market meltdown? so broken. -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:55 5
        
        Do you have faith in government? If so, you're the 1 out of 5 who do. That's liberalism being broken. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:00 4
        
        She's effective but she's Wade Phillips? That doesn't make sense. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 12:03 2
        
        Wade Phillips was 12-6 last year with a playoff win. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:05 1
        
        i don't agree with you. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 12:07
        
        i have faith in it if the Repuli-lite DNC shits would get out of the way and let it work -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 12:03
      - Wasn't you the one who said Nancy Pelosi was one of the most effective Speaker of the House? -- nm - amoxy Nov 17, 11:54 8
        
        You can be effective and still be a crummy choice for leadership. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 11:56 6
        
        ?? -- nm - amoxy Nov 17, 12:00 5
        
        Her job is simple, get legislation up the line and protect her side. She got legislation passed - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:04 4
        
        You're firing a pitching coach because the batting coach sucked. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 12:04 3
        
        I'm firing the person who's face was used to cost 25% of your team their jobs. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:07 2
        
        and it'll be a different playing field yet again in 2012. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 12:11 1
        
        With the one side being led by someone who isn't even close to a part of that battlefield. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 12:14
        
        (Yes) -- nm - David Nov 17, 11:54
- that's good enough for a new $50 million contract -- nm - Dan Snyder Nov 17, 11:48

Humpday nit-picky Poll ... is Evan okay as a name for a guy? or is it too feminine? i've heard of a few guys w/ that name, just not sure ... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 17, 11:42 37
- great name for a guy - alludes to sexiness -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 12:11
- I know at least two guys with that name - znufrii Nov 17, 11:47
- i'm not a fan of it. *shrug* -- nm - zork Nov 17, 11:46 1
  - I'm not either. It sounds like a household appliance. Like oven. Or iron. -- nm - Loyola Nov 17, 11:51
- it's a very good male name. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 11:44 2
  - I like that it can be shortened to "ev." but really I like trevor shortened to "trev" better. it's got more heft to it. -- nm - chromanda Nov 17, 11:48
  - almighty, even -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:45
- I've never heard it being used as a woman's name, so i'm not sure how it's "feminine" - Stephen Nov 17, 11:44 7
  - Evan Rachel Wood -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 11:45 6
    - Ah - Stephen Nov 17, 11:47
    - I bet she uses the Rachel for a reason. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:45 4
      - most likely there was already an Evan Wood in SAG -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:46 3
        
        yup, I have a friend who uses his middle name as well for this reason. - znufrii Nov 17, 11:49
        
        probably a guy -- nm - zork Nov 17, 11:47 1
        
        sure, but that doesn't matter in SAG terms. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 11:48
- I don't think it's feminine at all -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 11:44
- what does the name have to do with humping? -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:43 1
  - Planning ahead. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 11:44
- I don't mind it much, which is saying a lot (I hate stupid names). -- nm - chromanda Nov 17, 11:43
- It's a guy's name... -- nm - MDH Nov 17, 11:43
- it's OK. Probably in the same class as Adrian. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 11:42 15
  - no, because Adrian is unisex. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:43 14
    - Hmpf. -- nm - Duncan McLeod Nov 17, 11:47
    - I've known girls named even. every name is unisex anymore. (god I hate stupid names.) -- nm - chromanda Nov 17, 11:44 12
      - Evan Rachel Wood! -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:45
      - yes, but that's a case of a girl getting a guy's name. (he did say nitpicking) -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:44 10
        
        disagree. and diagree on adrian. adrian is a dude. adrienne or adrianne is a chick. -- nm - chromanda Nov 17, 11:46 9
        
        In spelling sure. But they sound the same. - Stephen Nov 17, 11:48
        
        I'll give you Adrian. And disagree about names being unisex. If you hear about someone named Dave, you dont think it might be a girl. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:47 5
        
        obviously you never read tiger eyes. assuming is never safe in this golden age of stupid names. -- nmbrepeat - chromanda Nov 17, 11:49
        
        "When I heard the name Dave, I thought you were a guy." "I am." -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 11:48 3
        
        I have to tell you guys this, even though nobody cares. - chromanda Nov 17, 11:54 2
        
        whoa, that's .... something. -- nm - zork Nov 17, 12:03
        
        yeesh. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 12:01
        
        (note that I think evan for a chick is a stupid name. but that the name's not just a dudename anymore.) -- nm - chromanda Nov 17, 11:47
        
        i was about to post this. -- nm - zork Nov 17, 11:47
- too feminine? it's a guy name. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:42
i'll take musubi in the center square for the win -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 11:39 4
- dude, why? you know he's going to mix up the X and the O on you. -- nm - zork Nov 17, 11:49 1
  - *nice* -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 11:50
- Wow, the new TSA screening methods really have gone too far. -- nm - Stephen Nov 17, 11:42

- If it's something you think is worth sending (i.e. I can't go out and buy it easily myself), then it's all good. Cookies, if I had to pick. -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 11:45 3
  - Sometimes people like to do fun package-style gifties. Like say, a t-shirt plus a mug and/or some candy or something. - Diva Nov 17, 11:49 1

  - Good chocolate like Godiva or something better? White, Milk, Dark or Orange? -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 11:44 1
    - I'm fine with Hershey's. I have a bad sweet tooth. Definitely milk, then white, then dark, last is orange. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 11:45
- Yes -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 11:40 1
  - this -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 11:42
