Disney may have interest in Sea World This is interesting. There have been rumors for YEARS that Disney wants to develop a "DisneySeas" park. This could save them some time and money. BAM! Instant 5th gate. Take some of the cash that WOULD have been put towards creating the new park and "reimagine" parts of seaworld.

The Missile might just have jumped to the top of the ROY list: Longoria out with Broken Wrist

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) lol cuz GOP don't politicize everything... point is, this was a lighthearted thread about bush doing silly things. and holding up a flag backwards is a silly thing for a president to do. i think it's hilarious. and alpha. chilllll out. you really haven't come to grips with the fact that our president rides the short bus? It was meant to be funny. In no way was I making some political statement. It just made me laugh. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.... you cant get fooled again

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) Honestly, we don't have any real options. We know that, and they know that. All we can do is tell them they're pissing us off. Europ eneeds to step up now. Stop being pansies. Grow some nuts.

Ok, so my sister isnt exactly the brightest bulb in the box... apparently on Saturday my sister came into my parents family room all concerned as to why Russia was invading Georgia... the state. Ok, to be fair to here, she IS smart, just doesnt know jack squat about international affairs.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minster was just on CNN and accused Georgia of Ethnic Cleansing like that of Kosovo.

And sometimes you just want to be ashamed:

This might be one of my favorite lines of all time: • Green reports that on Feb. 11, the day that Clinton finally replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with Maggie Williams, Wolfson aide Phil Singer cursed out first Wolfson, then Policy Director and Solis Doyle ally Neera Tanden, yelling: “[Expletive] you and the whole [expletive] cabal” before climbing on a chair, berating the entire staff and leaving. The same day, Washington Post Managing Editor Phillip Bennett wrote Williams to complain Singer had spread rumors about one of his reporters. Williams eventually saw the letter after Wolfson intercepted it, and Singer left for a week. On his return, Green reports that Wolfson explained to a colleague, “When the house is on fire, it’s better to have a psychotic fireman than no fireman at all.”

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) Thankfully there are no diversity of opinions or thoughts in other campaigns. Get a bunch of people who all think the same and go from there. There is a difference between differing opinions and infighting. Every office place has differences of opinion. But to have "cliques" and inward wars is trouble some. It's when two sides are trying to push agendas and they collide. That's when you start to see leaked memos and such.

I think to see on paper the compete discourse within the campaign is fascinating. We're starting to see some of the same feuds in the McCain campaign as well.

Well, some details have emerged: Clinton was advised by Penn to portray Obama as foreign

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 03:12 PM) I wonder how and if Chicago can afford to top that. They wont try. China is trying to put it self on the map. They are trying to say "ignore all our human rights and boarder line dictatorship... look at how cool we can be". Chicago wants to do the whole things for a few billion and they think they will break even with all the generated revenue.

FactCheck.org Rips McCain' Newest ads a New a-hole: McCain misrepresents Obama's tax proposals again. And again, and again. McCain's new ad touts "renewable energy," but his energy plan offers little to support it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) What could they possible say that would be of interest? "Play up Obama's lack of experience," "don't mention race," "try to keep Bill under control?" I'd be VERY curious on this race thing. I still stand that while Bill Clinton is not a racist, he used race to try and paint Obama as "the black guy." It is not beneath the Clintons to use ANY tactic they think might work.

Did "saber" steal their digital scoring from Star Trek?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 08:16 AM) Thread started in Palehose. Someone please merge the 2. OOPS! I didnt even think of looking there for a Bernie Mac thread. lol

Just saw on MSNBC that Bernie Mac died from pneumonia at the age of 50. Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50

call me cynical, I bet some of those people have been training to be in the opening ceremony since they were 5.

I had this in the democratic thread, but I thought it should get it's own. Nothing is expected to be made public until next week, but this should be interesting. Atlantic Gets Hold Of Internal Clinton Camp Memos Marc Ambinder:

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) No it's not. It's about the Caliphate. It's about establishing a world-over Islamic government. Osama Bin Laden hate for America is rooted in the wars in the 70s and 80s. He is the defacto "death to america" leader. EDIT: Well, we are both kind of right. From Wikipedia- "However, during this time Iraq invaded Kuwait and Laden met the Crown Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia, and told him not to depend on non-Muslim troops and offered to help defend Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden was rebuffed and publicly denounced Saudi Arabia's dependence on the US military. Bin Laden's criticism of the Saudi monarchy led that government to attempt to silence him."

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) I'm pretty much with you on this one drunkbomber. Let the Europeans deal with this. They hate America? fine. take care of your own stuff. No US troops in Europe to deal with this. I've been a big proponent of what i call "America First". Many try to brand it as "isolationism". My basic a belief is you let locals deal with their issues. Only go over if it gets out of control. One of the things people forget is that 9/11 and the current "terrorist hate" for America is rooted deeply in our constant pocking around in the middle east. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and at the time many of out 60s and 70s middle east operations seemed like a good idea. But it clearly blow up in our face... literally. We didnt get involved in WW2 until we were drawn in. We could debate for days if we had gone in sooner maybe the war could have been minimized.
