Her little following is pretty substantial and hardcore. It may be around 30% when all is said and done which can TOTALLY win primaries.

The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Right, but unfortunately the press she gets has nothing to do with her being a serious candidate to win the nomination. It has everything to do with liberals and independents wanting to see her fail and look like an idiot. She's not the brightest bulb in the box, no doubt. But she doesn't deserve half the attention she gets. This latest Revere story is a good example. She says X, the media covers it, people get all interested because it supports their belief that she's a moron (right or wrong, doesn't matter) and she stays relevant. If people would be like "Oh, she said something, who cares?" the media would stop covering her every waking move and she'd go away. Not even a bus tour across America would gather that much attention. You know, it isn't liberals and independents going to meet her in mobs at every bus stop. And it isn't liberals and independents putting her as the 2nd highest polling candidate in the republican primaries. And if the mainstream media and liberal media stopped publishing all the stupid things she was saying, she wouldn't disappear. She'd just be living a life without scrutiny with a huge audience on fox news.

The environment thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) I don't suggest that there is definitive proof for either issue, but it's a bit crazy to me that these topics are basically shunned in the US because the cell phone industry is afraid of the negative publicity. One would think we'd have a right to know a little bit more about the potential links here... I'd hardly call them shunned, but these are very weak correlations.

Slumps and Adam Dunn: they've met before
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) Gonzalez put up a .732 OPS his first 3 weeks in the AL. Even he took a bit of time. So Adam Dunn is 9+ weeks worse than Adrian Gonzalez.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
It's less that I'm mad that he's not coming to chicago, more that he is the biggest tool I've ever seen in sports. He's the only play in basketball i've seen that consistently plays like he knows the camera's are watching him. I don't give a f*** about his career or that he's good, he's a douche and that's that.

Slumps and Adam Dunn: they've met before
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) What year was it that PK was struggling so bad? Actually looking back he had two off years 2003 and 2008. I do think Dunn will rebound, but he won't have any 40 homers. But, watching him right now is painful. He is an automatic out and we find a glimmer of hope when he gets an infield single, That's just plain wrong. 2003. He started being okay starting in about july iirc. He was just terrible for the first half.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) Yeah I don't mind that, what I mind is that he has the chutzpah to claim Van Gundy is betting on the series because he has inside info from the league office on who will win. I think that was more promoting his website.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 05:26 PM) You're operating under the assumption that he's even the same player he was last he was here. He's been awful as a Piston. Is that coaching, system, bad teammates? Who knows. But at that price, you want somebody that can put you over the top. And that's just not Ben Gordon. Yeah, I am assuming a bounce back which isn't smart. But I wouldn't mind a player like BG over Korver's role. Korver can and should should lights out, but he can only hit baskets pretty wide open and can't put the ball down.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) So basically a black Kyle Korver with a little more explosive scoring ability at over $35 million dollars through 2014? No thanks. I agree that gordon at that price is not a good fit. But, it's not the "more explosive scoring ability" by itself. Kyle Korver can't dribble, and panics when people play up on him. At least gordon can put the ball down, and even drive. He is a much better all around offensive player.

does anyone know what those things are called that you cook the coals in, and then you flip it over and they are all well lit. I wrote that into a search engine and couldn't find anything. I also put "coal cooker" and it gave me searches for grills.

My advice is it may be best to start with a vegetarian diet. My second advice is DONT SEEK MEAT SUBSITUTES. Tofu stirfry is one thing, but immediately on trying vegetarianism, my friends would try tofu burgers and it would turn them off. Look toward indian cuisine. Use Eggplant and lentils. Rice, beans, peppers, and lime are your friends. I've just seen that the quickest way to failure is typically the "What's the vegetarian answer for a burger" even though black bean burgers are pretty dope. But you could also start small by trying pescatarianism.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 26, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) They already sell protective sleeves to put your cards with the Fast Tap technology in so people can't remotely steal the information. What's the odds of getting your phone hacked? The fact that this is fairly routine in Japan leaves me hopeful this is something that can be overcome.
