QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) The issue I always have with this is it presumes that elected officials should only take money from causes and groups they oppose and that these same groups should only donate to candidates that disagree with them. That seems like an even worse message. Put another way, if NSS was our Senator, I know he would support alternative energy plans. His family may also share his outlook on alternative energy and want to be on those boards. Also, I would expect those companies to donate to his campaign. Later, when he votes in favor of legislation that helps the alternative energy companies, is he doing it because he will benefit, or because that is what he believes is correct? I have read and heard some excellent, well reasoned, opinions on both sides of this debate and prefer to think the best if our elected officials. But if a majority of your constituents are for something and you're against it because you or your spouse will benefit from the status quo then I have a problem with that.

Nice work on the factoids!

Leave them alone. They won't bother you.

Just avoid them when you're driving to avoid a mess.

How long is the average possum lifespan?

Forget about Detroit. I need to know more about opposums.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 09:20 PM) Lol. Yup room for everyone under the Democratic umbrella... Yeah the guy totally deserves preferential treatment after going to the RNC convention and talking trash about the Democratic nominee while talking up the GOP candidate and the grossly incompetent VP pick.

Cheating with video. For shame.

So what other fun factoids will we learn about opossums?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) Opossums, referenced earlier in this thread, are interesting in that the males posses a penis that is positioned posterior to the scrotum rather than anterior to it. Pretty awkward for 69.

Somone remind me why so many Dems backed the Independent Joe Liebermann vs the Democratic Challenger Ned Lamont.

Kool Moe Dee would concur.

I'll chalk it up to thread fatigue.

Fatigued Santa can be a mess. Too many houses to visit.

By almost you mean about 60 days.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 01:16 PM) I believe we do have an effect on the environment, I just think it's far less than we'd like to believe. What exactly do you base this belief on?

Zubaz are on sale at your local Venture and Zayre stores.

What makes you say that?

So does chicken noodle soup actually have any healing qualities?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 11:45 AM) This from the guy who recently posted "Religion... Bahaha". Exactly. Why single one out when they're all based on fantasy?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) They blame the Republicans when the are out of power, and they still blame them while they are in complete power. Other than being the party of No right now, how are they offering solutions?
