M should come here instead
[/quoteYou should invite her

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

fwiw I agree that one comment shouldn't necessarily sink a campaign, it's just that that one was particularly cringeworthy (like Sarah Palin level), and I voted for the guy.  Most people might view this as a waste of time, but nonetheless I think the upcoming debates should include the two main 3rd parties as well.

Not in the least. I wish more people thought like you instead of letting their brain-washing show itself when they say "I have to vote for one of the two that have a chance of winning. What those people don't realize is that if everyone voted for who they thought would best fill the position, the republicrats would be gone in a heartbeat.
It's brain washing plain and simple. I can't state that emphatically enough.

This is what it's turned out to be. An effort to bully a pipeline through:

so its putins fault 

[OstrichThief]

I asked M how many people called for the last show and she said only me.   150 countries and only Darren from Oregon calls in.

[comaphobe]

Why would he even have that phone in his studio? lol

exactly, the thing should not even be in the studio. a silent one with a flashing red light would be more appropriate. 

[zeebo]

That and he shouldn't have done a wake and bake that morning. 

I hate myself for that joke. 

haha yeah, probably shoulda gone for an espresso w/ the NYT foreign section, instead of a puff with the comics. 

[norland2424]

lol this is to funny

[Dr. MD MD]

so its putins fault 

Partly, yeah. The article points out how we're both attempting this.

[comaphobe]

love that flick .. i think it was tarantino's first

he got the writing credit

[starrmtn001]

Hi, everyone.

[norland2424]

yes my call will make obama not veto a fucking bill  :

[Roswells, Art]

I'm can't believe it either.  I used to know I had the right amount of spice when I would cry tears of heat through reddened eyes.  But these days I've had to lay off the spicy stuff.  I've even taken to reading Norwegian cookbooks.

/unshun


I hiccup when its the right amount of spice. These days though it takes more and more heat. I have a bottle of habenero and I wonder if they actually used ones that were hot. I think I might have to buy ghost pepper sauce off the internet. I bet those Norwegians make some good food so if I ever have to stop using hot sauce I have that to look forward to.

[Roswells, Art]

Whats a top right quote?

Oh right, you're new. Whatever you do don't leave this thread. If you were offended the other night you will be really offended if you leave this thread.

[norland2424]

lol hey i apologized 

[Dr. MD MD]

did she just say Gandalf bush and that Gandalf blew up the towers ?

Yeah, don't you remember? After he got that ring the power went to his head. 

[Roswells, Art]

lol hey i apologized 

It's good advice though, right?


This thread and maybe he could go to the bella haven thread but that's it.

[zeebo]

he claimed 160 countries tonight lol

hahaha ... i wonder if he thinks english is the primary language in all those

[Humilia Lepus Foramen]

Oh I agree it was cringeworthy.  He should have said something like "Could you elaborate on the question" until it clicked.  Of course both the others have had lousy moments, but they get do-overs.  Anyway obviously he never had any real chance anway, but I'm just bummed we just get the same polarized positions ad nauseum without the general populace even thinking there might be an alternative way of looking at things.  The founders meant for us to discuss these things in public, not to have scripted corporate parties force us into no-win choices.

Agreed.  The other day I heard Stein discussing ranked choice voting, which I hadn't heard much about before, but it seems like it would give 3rd parties more of a chance.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Hey Sandman.  Yep thought I'd take a stroll and look for lunar artifacts.  Nothing to report yet.  I may give up and go back to earth soon, easier to find martinis there.

Ahhhh, you didn't find the secret entrance to the underground bar and brothel did you. There's actually two of them, one in the Dewar crater, and one in the Dionysius crater. Don't tell them I told you though.
