McCain suspending his campaign
Johnny Coli replied to PastaJoe's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
More gimmicks. He's looked incompetent and confused for two weeks now, and his solution is to stop campaigning two days before a debate. Color the American people underwhelmed by his "leadership." A snap poll shows 86% of those polled think the debate should go on. SUSA snap poll The Palin gambit failed in spectacular fashion. His latest gimmick doesn't make him look like a leader...it makes him look like a coward. -

I thought JFC was excellent. -
I think it's great.

Clinton fundraiser endorses McCain
Johnny Coli replied to KD in CA's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You kind of have been left alone. That's why we're in the economic mess right now. Anybody making less than 250k per year will be getting a tax break. Everyone over that will be taxed like they were in the 90's. I recall the 90's as being quite profitable for you folk. -
I don't see the confusion at all. It's not just about the ability to check your email. It's the ability and the willingness to grasp new technology and skill sets that are necessary in order to function in today's society, and are essential in understanding today's world. I have all the confidence in the world that Obama could read and understand a briefing on just about anything, requiring little hand-holding or detailed explanation from an advisor. That means he'll be able to make more informed decisions. That means the advice he recieves can contain much more detail and be much more valuable. What you're saying is it's OK to have a guy who isn't even personally up to date with a technology platform that has been in existence and in common use for almost two decades. That's freaking scary. I don't want advisors having to take valuable time explaining to the POTUS what email is at a time when a critical decision has to be made. Furthermore, I have zero confidence that the guy would even be able to pick a decent team of advisors. I do not want a leader who is 20 years behind the times. This idea that it's ok to have a luddite as the leader of the free world is almost as scary as that luddite picking a creationist as his running mate.

Seriously? A world leader in an age of advanced technology better have a rudimentary grasp on technolgy and science. How the fug will he be able to make an informed decision? Sure, he doesn't need to know how to write code, perform a heart transplant, clone a sheep or build a particle accelerator in his back yard (that would be freaking awesome, but Buckaroo Banzai's not running in this election), but he damn well better be able to have an intelligent, informed discussion on his own. We don't have that right now, and we sure don't have that running on the GOP ticket.

Agreed. I really don't understand this emphasis on "I'll vote for the guy/gal who'd I rather have a beer with" and the current McCain/Palin strategy of disparaging Obama's law degree from Harvard. God forbid we actually have someone intelligent in the White House. I want someone in there who has a grasp of current technology and can actually have a dialog about the life sciences without smirking and hamming it up for yuks. We've had eight years of ignorance and outright disdain for science, technology and intelligence. We've had eight years of a Bush Administration burying science that didn't support their views or policy. This country is being left in the dust by other nations who actually give a damn about education and technology--countries that put an emphasis on intelligence. A vote for McCain and Palin is a vote to continue on the same backward track, where banning books and teaching creationism will be the norm rather than the exception. A nation of ignorant, pregnant, religious fanatics banging rocks together.

Lindsay Lohan Joins the Obama-Rama
Johnny Coli replied to buckeyemike's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I clicked on the link and read what she said. Probably not going to sway anyone into voting for either side, but her vote counts as much as anyone else's, and she came across as at least somewhat informed. On the other hand, you have written this: Which makes you look like an idiot. Lohan 1, buckeyemike 0 -
Who'd be outraged? A handfull of CA fans? Sgt. Nick Fury started out in the WWII time period. Cap America started out in the WWII time period. Why is it acceptable to have a black Nick Fury, but it would cause outrage to have a black CA? Doesn't make sense. And I know some comic-book afficionado is going to say "Marvel released a series based on the Sam Jackson re-wroking of Fury." So? I can guarantee you the majority of the movie-going public wouldn't/didn't care that Marvel put out a Nick Fury Sam Jackson issue.
-
The new Nick Fury is played by Samuel L. Jackson.

Have you tried Lids. I got a Bills hat there, once, and if they don't have it they'll get it for you. Not sure you'd have it before the game on Sunday, though. I usually get all my Bills stuff online now. Just buy one online from the Bills and have them overnight it to you.
-
My point is no one is going to flock to a movie based in WWII where the main character is a propaganda tool to sell nationalism, unless they do something to make it relevant to today. The "WWII Nationalist Pride Theme" combined with a white Super-Soldier wrapped in the American flag will turn more people off than make them want to go.
-
You're not doing a very good job in selling this movie. This is 2008.
-
That's the 60's CA, if I'm remebering it right. The original CA was no more than a propaganda prop. Seriously, a Super-Soldier draped in the US flag in 2008 is going to look pretty stupid. How are they going to pull off his being a libertarian? Is the shield going to have Ron Paul's face on it?
-
So you're agreeing with me. There's no way to make this movie without it coming across as dumb.
-
Yeah. Unless they camp it up it's going to come across as dated and stupid.
-
I'll only see it if they do away with the uber-nationalism nonsense. It's not going to translate well in 2008 unless they tone it down.
-
Personally, I think it already blows Lost away.

They are already selling their tickets!!!
Johnny Coli replied to webtoe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This on the heels of Krafty Bob's huge Patriot Place mall grand opening. Wonder how many people will still be willing to pay $50 to park to watch the Cassell-led Cheating Scum stagger to a 8-8 season? -
Why?

Favre says during presser that Brady has torn ACL
Johnny Coli replied to UncleChewy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What point? Your attempt to take some sort of moral high road? There is no taking the high road when a team cheats, injures other players on purpose and then smirks about it. Brady is scum. That coach is a fraud. And that organization is a disgrace. If I want to freaking hoist a beer and glorify that somebody got what they deserved, then by God I'm going to do it and not feel an ounce of remorse. You stay on your moral high road, though, and let the fans of 31 other NFL teams rejoice that an organization built on breaking the rules just watched it's mediocre system QB's knee get bent like a pretzel. -
Favre says during presser that Brady has torn ACL
Johnny Coli replied to UncleChewy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. It's to rejoice that a cheating piece of garbage got what was coming to him. -
I know some of you are loving this Brady thing
Johnny Coli replied to Cornerville's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can't be serious. Not only am I celebrating, I hope the gutless POS never plays a down again. This is not the time to be classy, B-lo. I live in Boston. They hate you, and they weren't classy by any stretch when Wil!@#$ intentionally tried to end Losman's career. The Pats* players were joking about it.
