Nice work!

NO.WAY!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Doctor: Giffords' 'Prognosis For Survival Is 100 Percent' That's so great to hear. Glad to hear it. Hopefully she fully recovers.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) I maintain that the only reason he targeted her in specific is because of his locale, and he had past meetings with her that didn't go well in his eyes. If he had lived in another state, it probably would have happened there, instead. I don't think it had anything to do with a target map whatsoever. Especially because I have seen more politicians killed on primetime TV, than I have by Republicans. If there were any connection at all between this guy, and any of the right wing hate that is getting spewed here, I could buy it being an important part of the argument, but we have nothing, I repeat NOTHING, to make that connection on, except political hatred. And just like everything on the filibuster, that is exactly where this thread went. Nothing besides the right wing can be at fault for this, and that is just bold-faced ignorance.

Funny thing is that it should be a crime. Damned kids.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) It's not the first time I've seen such sniper targets used in political press over the years, and it's not something that always comes from the right, or Palin in specific. And it doesn't matter...it's a metaphor, a stupid metaphor IMO, but a metaphor nonetheless. Pretending it was or is something more is silly at this point. Next we can point to violent video games, violent music, or violent cartoons that caused it! Not that people haven't done this throughout history, and are still doing it rather futilely. But let's take cartoons in specific...well, wait...modern cartoons aren't very violent, but the ones I grew up watching should have made me (and everyone in my age group) a mass murdering, anvil dropping, meat cleaver chopping, shot gun blasting, TNT detonating. straight razor slashing whack job. I mean, I watched Tom & Jerry everyday... The silliness, it seems, will never end. And considering the age and sex of the person involved here, it is much more likely that they had more exposure to this, versus Sarah Palin, as it is way more prevalent in our society.

Don't ask me about crimes, because i know nothing.

Bah, you just don't spell ancient Greek correctly.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) I"ll concede your point about the "overwhelmingly from the right" but Palin specifically had a sniper's target on her website with Gifford's name attached to it. Gifford even commented on it and said that it could lend to violence (paraphrased) in a video in recent months. For a potential Presidential candidate to not even comment on that and say "maybe that was the wrong thing to do" instead of getting defensive and having it scrubbed from the website tells me a lot. And on the last line edit, why is Kos scrubbing his site then? Because that kind of crap is STILL going on.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) Because the overwhelming majority of violent rhetoric in the last 2 years has been from the right. And the guy most vilified from your side as "being the same", Olbermann, went ahead and apologized for any comments he had made and recommended that everyone do the same. That was the whole point. Palin and others didn't bother to apologize and saw no reason to. And AGAIN, I am not blaming Palin or anyone on this specific incident but they have to have some self reflection, as Olbermann demonstrated, and say "Hey, that wasn't right what I said/did back then...I'm sorry and won't do it again". And the "over the last two years" thing is a complete cop out of the previous eight years. Why would the party in charge use that kind of rhetoric when it is just an indictment of their performance? You can bet the next time the right is in power, Keith O, and the rest of them will be back to their old tricks.

Zues?

Xena told me to.

Virtually I can't be wrong.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) I know I'm in the minority but the college game has just lost it appeal on me. I just find the spread offenses gimmicky and while they are creative I can't help but somehow be bored by watching a bunch of defensive players who can't make open field tackles. Maybe I'm a football purist but the pro game has become so much more appealing to me over the last 5 years or so whereas I used to enjoy college much more. Its like watching Arena Football.

I love the Pat Foley and Eddie O combo. I don't think there is any better right now.

That place sucks.

Rite Aid is not a place to look for a mechanic.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 09:02 AM) Tigers sign Brad Penny, reportedly $3mil base, with $3mil incentives. Not a bad guy to have as your #4/5 starter. He'll fit right in with the guys who are always hurt up there.

Olfactory glands could be the problem.

My enemy is now That funky motion.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Derrick Rose just made his best poster since Phoenix. Wow. Why Jennings is in the dunk contest over someone like Rose is baffling. That was just sick. I don't remember where the conversation was about Rose losing vertical, but I can safely say that it is BS.

So the guy who drew 6-1 in the square pool is pretty happy tonight...

Kids are my first target audience.
