I can't change parties, I chose not to affiliate myself with a party when I registered. I vote for who I believe is going to do the best job in office. I think the two party system is one of the worst parts about our government. People align themselves with a party early on, and then pigeon hole themselves for the rest of their lives. My father voted for Bush in 2004 despite acknowledging he wasn't the better candidate. But he said that he "just couldn't bring himself to vote Democrat." I don't want that to be me.

Well, that's certainly how it's built to work. It's why we elect our public figures in finite terms, not for life.

By what logic? It's a basic rule of the media. Don't give them something to attack you for and you won't be attacked.

I think you were going for "lovable retard next door" If Biden has one problem, I think it's a lack of a filter between his brain and mouth. It seems to me that most of his gaffes are the result of him speaking his mind too openly. Then there was that whole plagiarism thing... Bottomline, Biden's not the perfect candidate either, but I prefer him over a woman who gets tricked by a couple of canadians pretending to be French diplomats with horribly fake-sounding French accents. I think that Sarah Palin is a legitimately stupid person.

The clear message from the American public will be that they are voted out of office for doing an inadequate job. If they do an effective job, they will be re-elected.

The bottom line is he lied and now he's ostracized for lying. If he had asked his question as a hypothetical and not said "I'm going to buy the company", nobody would have a problem with him.

I drafted Ryan Torain in my fantasy league. After I found out he was injured, I dropped him and picked up Steve Slaton...but I think I'll pick up Torain again and give him a seat on my bench in case he starts putting up gaudy numbers, something which random Denver RBs have been known to do.

What is the correct term? The radio station I work for is probably over 50% Jewish in our sports department, and I think they are all fine with "Jew". I can't really think of any other terms besides the slurs.

Brockport is most certainly not "literally in the Ivy League" Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale

I think we'll all refer back to Andy Warhol on this one.

Yeah, if you're a Pistons fan McDyess is the one that you ought to be sad to see go. Iverson will be an improvement at point guard over Billups. They're both very talented veterans but AI is just better at creating his own shots and he's also still a very solid defender at this late juncture of his career. McDyess is a very efficient, high energy player who rebounds very very well, especially when he's pounding the offensive glass. I think he should automatically start over K-Mart in Denver and he'll be a force for years to come.

Rest in peace, Madelyn. I don't know old she was, but given that she had a 47 year old grandson, I'd say she had a good run. Best wishes to the Obama family.

But I just realized what a huge waste of my time it is to sit here at my laptop bickering over the semantics of the word "argue". I'm going to start paying attention to my professor.

Which I didn't do. I merely stated a different opinion, without even alluding to his post.

Ah, classic denial behavior. You've never actually been with a woman yourself, so you project it onto others as a means for asserting yourself as a man despite your many failed attempts at achieving anything remotely masculine.

There's a pointed difference between "arguing" and "replying".

Well you clearly know something about pokemon too.

I wasn't arguing. You said it was moderately amusing. I said I thought it parodied libs and conservs pretty well. I wouldn't classify that as arguing.

I hadn't heard about her flying back to AK to have the baby, but that is straight up dumb and bad parenting.

Do you think we would've run a QB sneak if Edwards hadn't fumbled the last one? That's the play that seems to work the best in 3rd and inches situations, in terms of securing a first down.

Who's telling you what's best for the country? The thread is about a comedic video...

Are you referring to "Ithaca is Gorges"?

You know that's not how it went down.

Nobody was arguing with you.

Well it's actually a fallacy that Cornell's suicide rate is the highest in the country. It's just that someone who jumps tends to get more publicity than someone who OD's, etc. I believe MIT has the highest rate.
