I came back from missouri for the first time since the paper change. I was shocked. The trib is a piece of s***.

I don't know it looks a lot like Dye's finish to me.

I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way pictures looked back then. Like oil paintings.

the thing is on 11 it was being challenged by Franken I think claiming he was underlining Frankens name.

I like how people took the trouble to go out of their way, stand in line and vote, and then decide to f*** around.

The shocking thing is that people are mad at this vanilla list as they name singers that they know the names of.

Waxman's been a hell of a congressman. Congrats to him.

Yeah 1 dollar bob.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 19, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) I dunno, it's different certainly, but it's got a earnest and real quality to it.. His lyrics are really what moves people. No questions about In the Aeroplane is one of the finest albums ever made. So, Magnum'll join a list with Dylan, Springsteen, Jon Brion, Colin Meloy and Billy Corgan of people with different voices that just work. Back to this list though. Some lesser know possibilities. How's about : Elliott Smith Stuart Murdoch (Belle and Sebastian) Chris Martin (Coldplay) Ben Gibbard (Death Cab) Tom Chaplin (Keane) The Watkins Siblings (Nickle Creek) Gerry Rafferty (Stuck in the Middle With You, Right Down the Line, Baker Street.) the thing is, is mangums voice is so much more jagged than Dylans. Dylans is odd, but smooth, it feels like the vinyl itself. Mangums is more violent, textured and jagged and can really hurt at points. I love NMH, but, I would never give his voice any awards.

I TOO LIKE GARRET'S POPCORN

oh man, lost, St louis is disgusting with it.

runoffs can be crazy bastards though.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 11:30 PM) Difference, I believe it was spread equally across the country, just just those racists rednecks in the south. I'm consistent. What I find funny is suddenly there are only racists in the south. People that dismissed the Bradley effect are real quick to claim the only area of the country that is still racist, or at least racist enough to switch from Kerry to Obama, are four states in the South. That effect could not be spread equally across the country. The effect, btw, is people beinig polled change their answers. Well documented and accepted by every polling expert. I find several assumptions interesting. First off, no matter what Obama does during the next four years, every Dem voter will remain a Dem voter in the next election. If he does not get reelected, it must be because of race. Since Kerry = Obama and the appeal is the same, then certainly Obama = Obama in the next election. So the GOP should just forget about ever winning another election. I guess shocking of all are the racists in Illinois that did not support Braun in getting relected. Again, there couldn't be any other reason to switch. The bradley effect is not accepted by any polling expert I've seen. And further, what a fun hypothesis that racism is spread completely equally throughout the country.

Jeff Mangums voice is horrid.

I actually liked the last episode. I think they are going to switch the show to the main drive being running an ad agency and the entourage now is just vinny and all them hanging on to Ari. But I loved that 'the cavalry arrives' moment with Ari last episode and some real tension, minus turtle's s***ty character. But yeah, you have to remember this was only about a week into shooting, as well.

isn't tom petty just a bob dylan retread in terms of voice?

I busted my eye open on a bathroom door in Belgium after trying absynthe. I don't attribute that to be cause-effect, rather, Belgium doors were heavier than american ones and I am an idiot.

I find it quite funny that someone who was so convinced that the Bradley effect is real and a phenomenon is now claiming that race is not a factor at all in the election.

It doesn't mean anything except he isn't a blind idiot. You know who made a lot of mistakes in his 92 transition team? Clinton. Part of that is he had no one to turn to for previous advice cause the last person to turn to would be Carter who also made mistakes.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE... what are we up to, 80% old Clinton retreads now on his 50 or so appointments? do you know the difference between transitional team and cabinet?

No, I'm right. Even if the dems get the remaining 3, they'd feel more than confident swaying specter or a few others over to their side for 60

QUOTE (Texsox @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) And NSS, I offer you another example. Have you really been missing these for the past year? It could not possibly be that Bush was an idiot and even GOP voters bailed on Bush and voted for anyone else but him, then returned to the GOP? Nope, not one person thought to mention that scenario. It couldn't be that that region, faces economic hardships and a loss of low skilled industry unlike any other area, combined with lots of competition from illegals and McCain had a stricter plan than Obama? Could it be that that industry has strong ties to the mining and coal industries and Obama was much more critical? Naw, must be race. Well, I find the incredible strides you make to say that race still isn't a factor is more laughable.
