The Senator Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 depends of the size of the fish: http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jun2005/2005-06-29-04.asp With two of those you get about a quarter pound (116 grams) per person for 5000 people!!

DC Tom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Would be interested in hearing her stance on that. You're not the only one. And you never will. Answering that would be stupid on her part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You're not the only one. And you never will. Answering that would be stupid on her part. Especially after McCain's chest thumping last night about 'taking on the unions'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 No way was he a fisherman because he was a Vegan. I'm surprised he even hung out with those dudes. Jesus was not a vegan: According to Luke 24:42-43, the disciples gave Jesus a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. Just wanted to point that out.

blzrul Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 ??? OK, Bible school was a long time ago for me but i don't remember that! His apostles were mostly fisherman. But Jesus was a fisher of men. And most definitely a liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I wonder how long she can keep up avoiding the media Since when is she avoiding the media? Are you not aware that she's been at a convention all week? You've been on really good behavior since your suspension ended. Please don't slide back to JK levels.

You've been on really good behavior since your suspension ended. Please don't slide back to JK levels. He asks a valid question. Since the announcement of her as McCain's VP choice, she's yet to give an interview or go before the press, outside of the People puff-piece.

The Senator Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Jesus was not a vegan: According to Luke 24:42-43, the disciples gave Jesus a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. Just wanted to point that out. But he still seems to have been quite the commercial fisherman... Luke 5:1-7 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. Or, he had an early version of what we now call 'electric fish finders'.

She certainly isn't actively courting the media, though. And...should she? Given she's a high-profile and borderline controversial pick, it would certainly be a good idea. But is it a requirement? I don't remember any other VP nominee being rushed in front of the reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she has anything to gain by going on the "Meet the Press" type shows. I think a good campaign manager would send her right to the States and get her on the stump.

So fine, if she doesn't feel she can handle it, great. Just expect it to be used against her. I bet she runs off to Rush Limbo first and gets a real grilling there!

DC Tom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I think it would be a requirement inorder for her to get certain people's votes. I don't necessarily disagree (and thanks for making me "not necessarily disagree" with you, !@#$er). But in the interest of playing devil's advocate: no reason they couldn't play it as "avoiding the liberal media, because we can't trust those bastards" and play to their base. Doesn't seem like much of a requirement to me...depends on how they want to run the campaign. Gees, if she can't handle Tom Brokaw how can she handle being president? So fine, if she doesn't feel she can handle it, great. Just expect it to be used against her. If she were a presidential candidate, I might be concerned about her presidential qualifications. As VP...not so much. I think people - even Democrats - have forgotten how invisible the Vice Presidency was before Cheney. And I'm not sure where this idea comes from that a Presidential candiadate's pick for VP is some sort of determination of right of succession (I mean, I know where it comes from...but the vehemence with which importance is being ascribed to it here is new to me). Conversely, the VP's single most important task - President pro-tem of and tie-breaking vote in the Senate - is completely ignored...and given that the Senate's got a good chance of being split 50-50 after November, that's a pretty important role that no one's talking about. I bet she runs off to Rush Limbo first and gets a real grilling there! Limbaugh's too much of a clown, and the Republican leadership knows it. That'd be like Biden being interviewed by Ariana Huffington first off. They'll either put her on a "respectable" news channel like FoxSnooze first, or get her a spot on Letterman.

It made perfect sense not to give interviews between the announcement and the convention - those are *the* critical events in which to initially set her public image. I'm sure there will be plenty of interviews in the weeks ahead, and I have no doubt that had they been in that situation the Obama camp would have done the same. It's common sense, politically.

YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I once had to advocate for insuring wild AK Salmon for Sen. Ted Stevens inorder to expand a pilot program of insurance for some specialty crops that we were supporting. Only way he would go for the amendment. An insurance co we worked with claimed they could rate it, so we did it? This is the kind of fish we are talking about, wild salmon, insured. Probably did make a lot of money off it, they pay these guys pretty well. P.S. I here the GOP is holding off any interviews till after her son is deployed to Iraq. The media isn't buying it. She could have done some during the convention. They are buying time since this was such a last minute decision. They need to get her up to speed on issues and when asked specific questions not come off either not knowing or at least having a reasonable response to not knowing. or worse yet saying something in contradiction to John McCain. Also, fully researching her background and figure out how to deal with her skeletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Jesus was a carpenter. Many of the apostles, though, were fishermen. Are you sure? I though Jesus was the captain of a crab fishing boat and that he and his apostles fished for Alaskan king crab in the Bering Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rowe's voice is a little too Old Testament, anyway. The narrator of Mythbusters has a much better New Testament voice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As long as we seem to be going for new style Messiahs, might as well set up for the "2 men say their Jesus; one of them must be wrong.") But would a true OT voice over guy allow himself to be filmed w/ a pig (cloven hoof issues)? Maybe they should have signed Don LaFontaine a little earlier in the season.
