(although, i would argue that if you are running to be president, the people have right to know you can do the job). but prayer is not something we need to know. I also want to be clear that the only reason I posed this was because "the cat was out of the bag" already. no offense, but you are sort of perpetuating the righteousness of the paper by posting it again. It proves that people want to know what he said despite private privileges. And I'll acknowledge right now that righteousness is not the word I'm looking for.

QUOTE (Shadows @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) A couple of things.. 1.) Flash, your Ledger jokes serious made me LOL.. that was good, cant believe no one else laughed at it. 2.) 3.) Spoiler tags are seriously gayer than aids. If you don't want to know about the f***ing movie, don't come into this thread. If you haven't seen TDK why are you reading this thread to begin with? And don't f***ing lie, you know you highlight and read some of it anyways. 4.) Anyone who is complaining about NCFOM being spoiled by this thread needs to STFU. As stated earlier its been out forever and if it mattered that much to you, you would have seen it by now. No, I don't. Some people would probably want to see reactions to this movie without actually seeing the plot or storyline discussed. Things talking about performances or general reactions are left out of the spoiler tags. But, that gayer than aids line, really classy. And sorry, I don't live in Chicago and I don't have a lot of money. There's no video rental place round me I know of and I can't afford netflix. So STFU.

Dave Matthews is not the greatest guitarist of our generation in any way shape or form. He's not even top ... he's not mentioned.

for the record, it was given to a number of Israeli papers and only one decided to post it. Unfortunately, it seems that paper is only getting rewarded now that it's being picked up by a bunch of people. A student grabbed it out of the wall after Obama placed it in there. edited for clarification.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) Except Dave Matthews is one of the best guitarist of our generation. You can knock his music all you want, but he's a very very good guitarist. Yeah, no come on man. There's a reason every bro with his shirt off is playing #41 or whatever.

I agree with northside on this, that's how I took it as well. i.e. Obama's campaign has been in another class

tpm: Pentagon Confirms That It Told Obama He Couldn't Visit Army Base With Campaign Staff By Greg Sargent - July 25, 2008, 11:13AM I've just gotten clarification from the Pentagon on what really happened with regard to Barack Obama's canceled visit to an Army base in Germany, something the McCain campaign has been using to hit Obama since yesterday. A Pentagon spokesperson confirms to me that because of longstanding Department of Defense regulations, Pentagon officials told Obama aides that he couldn't visit the base with campaign staff. This left Obama with little choice but to cancel the trip, since the plan to visit with campaign aides had been in the works for weeks. The Obama campaign yesterday announced that it had decided to cancel the visit to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, saying that it would be "inappropriate" to make such a visit as part of a campaign trip. The McCain camp has nonetheless been using Obama's canceled trip to insinuate that he's anti-troops. "Barack Obama is wrong," McCain spokesperson Brian Rogers said in a statement yesterday. "It is never 'inappropriate' to visit our men and women in the military." But it turns out that the Pentagon did in fact tell Obama that in this case, it was not only "inappropriate," but against DOD rules, for him to conduct the visit with campaign staff. "We have longstanding Department of Defense policy in regards to political campaigns and elections," Pentagon spokesperson Elizabeth Hibner told me. "We informed the Obama staff that he was more than welcome to visit as Senator Obama, with Senate staff. However, he could not conduct the visit with campaign staff." After being told this, the Obama campaign announced yesterday that it had decided it was "inappropriate" to make the visit as part of a campaign trip. It's unclear how Obama could have made the visit at all, given the Pentagon's directives. No Senate staff was on the trip, and the Obama camp says they received the Pentagon's directives on Wednesday, after they were already abroad.

Yeah, spoiler tags are such a hassle, you have to...highlight something. What a relief.

Well, if it was really important to Obama to see injured troops, he should've just landed his plane in a field somewhere and coaxed some local boy with a cocacola to rickshaw him to the military base. What's his deal?

you are absurd, they make the trips for weeks than the day before, on a trip planned to the hour, they weren't even sure if his plane could land on the base. Grow up.

The DoD essentially canceled his trip with the troops, but nice try. Actually half the s*** on there doesn't even makes sense.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) Are we expected to put a spoiler tag around every key point in every movie ever made? I watched Gone with the Wind last night, I think it's fair to expect not to have no country for old men ruined for me when I go into a dark knight thread. But I realize hitting a button is pretty tough.

maybe this oil spill in the gulf should be of concern right now?

considerable questions would've been raised if Colin Powell resigned suddenly during the run-up to the war, to say the least.

you should thank your lucky stars this isn't american idol. All those McCain supporters having to figure out text messaging, it'd be a disaster.

btw, just cause it isn't the dark knight doesn't mean you shouldn't put other movies in the spoiler tags.

how much money does hester make for the bears thou?

I was so mad we gave up Miguel Olivo in that deal. KW totally got fleeced!

All this talk of duscherer and were gonna end up with someone nobody thought was going to get traded from a team nobody is talking about. book it.

it wasn't as good a speech, but the parallels to this and the race speech are there.

Yes, who would want to learn from the past and emulate successes!

Someone else would have to take the stance for him, then he could repeat it.
