Kagan, Wood...hmm... People are really pushin for a non judge on msnbc right now.

i know you guys refuse to believe it, but Obama has been very centrist. JPS was the pillar of the left on the court. Obama will not propose a very left figure for the court. So it once again becomes more right.

here comes the fun

that's bulls***, it was clearly the senators fault.

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Diplomatic immunity doesn't work that way. The diplomat has to be acting within the scope of his duties or in carrying out his official duties. He broke a federal law by smoking on an airplane and making whatever comments he made, which had nothing to do with his job. He probably won't be imprisoned, but he will likely be kicked out of the country. if they are allowed to park wherever the hell they want and it be "carrying out their duties" then how is him smoking while traveling to perform his duties not "carrying out his duties"

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) When do the Royals come to town? haha, liked.

yes, but there's obviously a lot more space and s***tier views at a festival, so prices should be lower.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) St. Louis is getting in on the mini-music festival thing this year with Lou Fest in Forest Park. $38/day or $64 for both days. Lineup includes Titus Andronicus, Built to Spill, Jeff Tweedy, She & Him. Not too bad for the price. Personally, I think that is a lot for the lineup. For reference, the first intonation/pitchfork 5 years ago with a much deeper lineup and similar headliners was 20 for 2 days 12 for 1. There are free festivals that have lineups close to that. If they want to have it be a big deal to draw people from out of town, they need it to be either much cheaper or get a much better lineup.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Pawlenty certainly is. I'm just not sure anyone noticed. I think everyone notices. He's tacking hard right. You know, i do have hope though. McCain won because very few republican primaries are closed to republicans. McCain brought in all the independents.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:00 AM) The focus of my argument is that nobody wants to actually engage the United States in pitched conflict because we'd murder them. These massive programs that everyone calls wasteful keep a relative amount of peace going. And as I've said over and over, the spending differential between the US and the next biggest spenders is HUGE. And you are saying we can't cut anything still. Because if we cut one program they know they are only 3/4 of a trillion dollars away!

Yep, what was originally reported and thought was a shoe bombing was actually just the Qatar diplomat being a douchebag and smoking in the bathroom. And when asked by air marshals, he joked that he was lighting his shoe on fire. Funny, right? You know what makes it less funny...douchebag is a diplomat, and therefore has diplomatic immunity. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/...2.php?ref=fpblg http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2010...oke.php?ref=fpa
