I'm not quite sure why Rebecca Black likes Friday so much. You still usually have to work. Hell, it's my hardest day of the week. (the Saturday nt) -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 17:53
I do not wear green on St. Paddy's day, for neither fish nor fowl am I. Neither green nor orange man am I... I'm a heretic, a Taoist Celt who remember - a friend's FB status Mar 17, 17:51 10
- I don't get it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:52 9
  - I think he's saying he's not Catholic or Protestant (hence the Taoist) so he doesn't wear either color? - spamlet Mar 17, 18:09
  - i don't know about the Taoist part, but the the orange and green mean something in Northern Ireland. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:53 3
    - Green = Republic of Ireland, Catholic majority. Orange = Northern Ireland, Protestant/British majority. - MojaveMeg Mar 17, 17:56
    - in the Republic as well. It's the Taoist part I'm not getting. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:55 1
      - knowing the guy, probably thinks that before the prods and paps began killing each other, they were very busy killing off the original pagans - zeitgeist Mar 17, 18:43

So, the airwaves belong to US and the channels just lease them, but the one station/network that is ours can't be funded by our money? - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:43 2
- One is money in, the other is money out. Though I'm of the opinion that if PBS and NPR are valued by their listeners, then they can survive as - TWuG Mar 17, 17:00 1
  - The stations get a mix of funding from state and federal, grants and donations. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:04
A no-fly rule is basically good news, but the logic behind justifying it sounds like half-assed fence sitting and can kicking to me. - Max Mar 17, 16:42 31
- I'm not so sure attack by tank IS allowed. I think that "protect civilians" clause is the backdoor to allow bombing of Libyan ground troops. -- nm - Ender Mar 17, 17:33
- [deleted]
- What pisses me off is that the expectation is the US will lead and do the heavy lifting. - TWuG Mar 17, 17:04 8
  - Libya: UK forces prepare after UN no-fly zone vote - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 17:07 1

    - in all honesty NATO should fez up and get moving ASAP -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 17:09 4
      - NATO has lost all meaning if they do - Reagen Mar 17, 17:27 3
        
        Which one was under attack in Bosnia? -- nm - Ender Mar 17, 17:40 2
        
        also a mistake, IMO. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 17:54 1
        
        it's probably the only meaning NATO makes today -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 20:12
- looks like the typical "if you go, i come along" game when nobody wants to be the first -- nm - marcel Mar 17, 16:49 16
  - They don't want to be on the wrong side of a major oil supplier. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:54 15
    - they don't want to be on the wrong side of a madman with an army of terrorists -- nm - marcel Mar 17, 16:59 1
      - That too. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:05
    - the oil market doesn't work that way. If Libya wants money, they have to sell their oil. - Reagen Mar 17, 16:59 10
      - Weren't there sanctions against Iraq that kept them from selling oil before we went in? - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:10 8
        
        Yes, the world could lay sanctions on him. That seems like that'd piss him off even more, so wouldn't seem to fit with your theory. - Reagen Mar 17, 17:17 7
        
        And he hasn't always played well with OPEC. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:22 6
        
        OK, so he says "I'm not selling oil to Italy anymore". He then sells to South Africa or Mali or Ghana or whereever - Reagen Mar 17, 17:25 5
        
        And he's done some of those things in the past. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:32 4
        
        describe those consequences to me and contrast them with how they would be different than the current situation of no Libyan oil? - Reagen Mar 17, 17:36 3
        
        Okay, we aren't talking about the same thing. I mean when it's all over and done. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 17:41 2
        
        Yes, we are. - Reagen Mar 17, 17:53 1

    - Without back-up. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:55
- Thye can do more damage by air than land. However, they may have waited too long. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:44
- I don't disagree with the IM, but it's slightly easier for ground forces to overwhelm a tank than a plane. Slightly. - Beryllium Mar 17, 16:44
- in the "old" day this was engaging in an internal problem of a nation -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 16:43

At least your alma mater is not 1 of the 5 schools that have never made the tournament despite having been Division 1 since the tourney has existed. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 16:30 2

- sweet. supposed to debut 2 days before my birthday next year. -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 15:54
- Still the wrong choice, no matter how good she is. People were commenting at The Beaver last night how she looked too old to play a HS senior. -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 15:53 5
  - And perhaps too shapely? (Spoils on what I have read so far). - HdnAgnda Mar 17, 16:16 4
    - That's the problem: Too old, too shapely. -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 16:25
    - Like Hollywood's going to go with someone so skinny she looks like a boy. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:24 2
      - Still say it should have been Hailee Steinfeld. But I got a good idea for Cinna. The guy who played Talbot in True Blood this past season. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Mar 17, 16:32 1
        
        She's too young. Since it's an action film it would be hard to find the right stunt person and she wouldn't be able to do much in the way of stunts - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:34
Hockey Players are tough, Exhibit #864: Max Pacioretty is expected back for the playoffs after fracturing a vertebrae. -- (link) - Reagen Mar 17, 15:48
This also means that at least a 12 seed will advance since that pod is 12/13. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 17, 15:48 4

      - One problem with basketball is that this game should have been over ten minutes ago. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 15:39 3
        
        I question some of the officiating in that game, but they at least tried to get the clocks right. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 17, 15:47 2
        
        I'm exaggerating a little butthe last 10 seconds of game time took five minutes of real time. That's excessive. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 15:49 1
        
        Football can make those 10 seconds last even longer. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 16:45
