QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 05:22 AM) BTW, is there a little irony that the most conservative leaders voted to keep people home and collecting (eventually) a government check without working and the liberals wanted people to actually work for their government check? No, because I don't subscribe to right-wing radio's dog-whistle meaning of liberal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 15, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) He's referencing a couple people (Rep Gohmert, Sarah Palin, Texas's Lt. Gov) who have said that if the U.S. defaults on its debt then it should be considered an impeachable offense. it's out there but has about as much support so far as you'd expect. They're pushing him into a corner to invoke the 14th amendment.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 15, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) Do you think that they just miscalculated and thought Obama would give in? The most frustrating part of this for me is I just cant see the strategy. I wouldnt mind it as much if I really believed that Republican voters wanted the reps to do this. That is the point of representation. But this time I just feel like a certain few are doing what they want and dont really give a damn about anyone else. Laying the groundwork for impeachment. They hate him THAT much. (Not all, but the lunatic fringe)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) What was he trying to spell? And why would that word be in his auto-correct? Tigger. In addition to Yosemite, Hundred Acre Wood has also been closed.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) OOPS! http://twitchy.com/2013/10/08/awkward-wh-a...s-n-word-tweet/ Huh? What was wrong with that tweet?

So now veterans are going to get the shaft. http://www.nbcwashington.com/investigation...-226821331.html

4K touch Mac display? http://9to5mac.com/2013/10/07/will-the-mac...mac-looks-like/ It looks pretty cool, but I don't see the practical use that would justify the (probably high) cost.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) You knew he was doomed the second he got involved in that aspect of the business. He didn't seem cut out for it, but I'll miss the occasional humor he brought.

What did I miss? I tuned in and everybody is around the mound.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) He is American, regardless of where he was born. So try again. He actually has dual-citizenship, but I still don't know what you want me to try again.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) Birthirism. Gotta love it. try again. Try what again? He was born in Canada, period.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) They would just be called an uncle tom, or told they don't really represent that race/ethnicity. Look at the people saying Ted Cruz isn't Latino. He is as much Latino as Obama is black. He's also Canadian.

Boardwalk Empire, Wow! I can't believe

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 09:33 AM) OK, before this gets too far, I want to explain my situation in detail so people know exactly what they'd be supporting. My next paycheck would normally arrive 10/12. If the shutdown ends by Monday, I won't miss a paycheck. However, my backup plan for missing a paycheck is to make a withdrawal from my retirement account, and it takes 10 days to get that money, so I couldn't wait until Monday to make that decision and have gone ahead and requested 4 weeks salary. I figure that 4 weeks is a worst-case scenario in a shutdown, and with us spending money only on food, gas, and paying bills, we can make that 4 weeks salary stretch 6-7 weeks if we need to. Now, what I have lost permanently is the 10% penalty I have to pay on that withdrawal, plus I lose the agency match to my retirement contributions for six months. That's going to add up to about $3000. Now, if Soxtalk feels compelled to share in the loss of that $3000, I'm not going to say no, but I don't want anybody believing that I need money in order to feed my family. At least not for another 4+ weeks. While you try and figure out what you're going to do, Rep. Renee Ellmers (NC) "needs her paycheck" during the shutdown. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2013/10/03/124...DS-Her-Paycheck

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 04:06 AM) I think Duke hates America. This whole civilized society thing has been done to death.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) More important Breaking Bad question: Do you think Huell is still sitting in that hotel room? Yes http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5f24c5785e/huell-s-rules

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 06:04 PM) He did call from New Mexico?? How do you know that?? Maybe he did but doesn't seem plausible with everything going on he would make his on stevia package lol It was definitely the southwest. They panned around with long shots and you could see the desert backdrop and the mountains in the distance. He could have just resealed the packet of Stevia. He's always been quite meticulous. The key was leaving just the one packet.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:24 AM) Good God, Brenda Song is sexy as hell. I can't stand Seth Green and that kept clouding my vision on the show. The bit with the dads passing the bill was good. The Rocky Dennis picture was hilarious. Why would anyone have a framed picture of Rocky Dennis? (Eric Stoltz from the film)

No Ricky Gervais? Louis CK is way too low. I can't understand the obsession with Aziz. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything funny. At least Tracy Morgan isn't on the list.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 11:46 AM) Just watched it. Anyway, accuracy in gun fights goes down a ton. As the standoff was progressing, you can see Hank and Gomez begin to position themselves behind the engine block, which is exactly where you'd want to be. In reality, they're safer there than the skinheads are on top of the trucks or in the door frames. The better question is how Walt didn't get shot inside the SUV. And they likely didn't show their badges because they know they're gonna be shot anyway, and reaching for it would make them even easier targets. They're definitely out of rounds, though. They are both probably killed in the opening of the next episode. It WAS odd to see Todd look so frazzled after shooting the kid so easily and accurately before. This shot shows that they are not out in the open like the close-ups make them appear.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) Great cliffhanger cannot wait for next week. I hate having to wait a week now. Walter drives like I do in GTA.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Never doubt Vegas Yep, last week Wisconsin was a 44 1/2 point favorite over Umass. They won 45 - 0.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Sep 1, 2013 -> 03:49 AM) A truly legitimate ultimate grand slam has only happened once in baseball history. Kinda bizarre considering the sheer amount of them that we have all hit in our youths via our imagination. Would truly be something to witness in game seven of a World Series. Huh? What's that?

I had forgotten the Broncos won the Superbowl last season.
