Whatever it may have started as with that rant on CNBC, the "real" tea party is now movement conservatism. Adding Paul to a Romney ticket won't help with that group.

The movement conservatives that largely comprise the tea party don't really care for Paul. http://www.gallup.com/poll/151325/Republic...e-Nominees.aspx http://www.gallup.com/poll/151355/Gingrich...Nationwide.aspx http://www.redstate.com/mikeymike143/2011/...tea-party-vote/

somebody related to this is still in the running for dick of the year.

There's been some navel-gazing lately that Paul is setting up himself up for the Romney VP spot. He's attacked all of Romney's opponents in the debates but never really Romney himself.

These guys make some delicious beers, but I'm not sure if they're available around here. Both the DBA and the "805" were delicious. http://www.firestonebeer.com/home.php

I hope you had the decency to duplex.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 11:23 AM) Meaningless, but it still would be one vote. You still have the right to vote in the other race if you deem your own parties race as "meaningless". Voting in both is two votes IMO. I can't see how it isn't illegal. It's not an official election, though, it's independent entities determining their candidates. I'm not sure how much the law really comes into play for primaries.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) Crossovers I can understand, voting for both is just wrong. Well the Dem caucus is meaningless this year, but that statement does implicitly endorse voting in the Republican primary.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) Vote early, vote often http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-pn-p...,0,725479.story I wish both parties would discourage their loyal drones from this sort of crap.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) It's somewhere in that ballpark. Women are something like 52% of the population.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 08:02 AM) Public transport all the way. They are going to be trying to give away those tuesday night Sox/Royals-Indians-Twins games, yet theyw ant to charge $25 to park in the lot. That fee is beyond ridiculous. $25 to park a car when they have more than ample parking. How do you get there from lombard?

8-1?

Geology question for Balta: Is there is technical determination between hills, foothills and mountains? Was out in Chattanooga two weeks ago and central California coast area last week and had me wondering.

Edit: mentioned, read the date wrong.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) The restaurants are not going to eat that added cost of paying their servers more, they'll just raise the price of that $9 burger to $13. I think the tip is most fair: with no tip and the raised price of food, there is no disincentive for s***ty service. In that regard I think we should be so lucky to decide what tip we give. fwiw tipping is not universal in all cultures, plenty of countries do pay food service workers a decent wage and tips aren't expected but are more or less priced into the food and drinks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 09:05 AM) So I am unclear here, was the waiter talking politics at work? How did the whole 99% thing come up? It is from the colleague of the giant douche, didn't say anything about the server.

Jesus christ the comments on that article, supporting the bankers actions and chiding the server for thinking she is entitled to her overlord's money for service.

Well, there have been several studies recently finding that immense wealth leads to decreased empathy. What a piece of s***.

Of course there's a profile. It's "professional baseball player, majors or minors"

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) The reporting is very simple. I would ask the on-campus police office to stop by during my conference period and explain what was going on. I have fulfilled my duties. Think about the 17 year old that was in the news last week for having sex with the Bengals adult cheerleader/ teacher. Yeah, the guy was probably having a great time. But if a teacher knew about the relationship and did not report it, they would be fired. This isn't about being cool, this is about being a responsible adult. The student can think what they want. If you are worried about hurting the feelings of a student you should not be responsible for them. You are more concerned about the minor child and what she wants. I am concerned about my legal obligations as a teacher. And you accuse me of being ridiculous? You're the one that seems to be overly concerned about the 16 year old getting laid and wanting it to continue. The Bengals cheerleader lacked an affirmative defense, so the situation is different. But I don't really have a problem with your first step.
