The really bad advice thread
We've had so many advice threads, from jobs to relationships. The bummer is, not everyone feels qualified to answer. Now it's your chance. Of course this is satirical. Answer a question, and ask a question. Starting off . . . A politician writes in . . . The cops just came and arrested me, I'm not certain what to do next. Any ideas?

Rod Blagojevich officially facing federal corruption charges
I'm wondering if his thoughts are shared by 1 other governor, ten other governors, or 49 other governors. The facts are you can't win without money.

Does this mean the State Police can begin enforcing highway work zone speed limits? I know some people were against that with a corrupt governor around.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:10 AM) In other news, Jim Belushi wants Obama's senate seat. QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:59 AM) I wanted a piece of that when I was about 13. Then again, at that age you want a piece of everything.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) Must have missed it -- what senate thing? The Senator from Illinois resigned to pursue a Federal job, it was in all the papers Blago needs to name a replacement.

NBC decides to F Conan over....
I'm wondering what changes he makes in the format and style. I don't think the same old stuff will work unless they are banking his audience is going to bed earlier and would prefer to catch his show before the 10:00 News.

Remember Letterman was f***ed over when the show went to Leno. He switched networks. We'll see what Conan does.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:39 AM) Obama better not pardon him when he winds up in the slammer either... Obama owes him nothing. You never know what favors came early. IIRC the Feds rarely slip up at this level.

Bank of America
It seems giving the banks money to lend, without any checks and balances, may be a mistake. While they were too loose, totally pulling to the other side isn't what the government desired in this bailout. It seemed it was in part to prevent widespread unemployment. So far, all it seems that has been accomplished is a cool party for the execs and preserved their bonuses. At the minimum, this is not good PR. Maybe the automakers will do better with their tax payer bailout.

Luis Aparicio's Grandson Slain
It's home. Why did Cosby's kid live in L.A.? Why did JFK go to Dallas? The US is pretty damn violent also, yet we still live here.

Dahl off the air
QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:30 PM) But from what I understand of it all, Gary would probably say "when Hell freezes over I might consider teaming up with that guy again". From what I always heard, Gary never really liked Dahl. With as much silence as there was on Steve's show, I would bet the only way anybody actually noticed his being gone was that there were voices on the radio during his time slot. I thought Gary had stopped by a while ago and did part of a remote show with Dahl. The major rift was Gary wanted his personal life to stay personal and Dahl blew off Gary's wedding, then made fun of it while Gary was on his honeymoon. Last I heard Gary's real estate career was pretty solid and more of a normal life than what radio could offer. One of the unusual glitches with their prior relationship was Dahl paid Gary directly, not the station. There may have been some friction from that as well.

A Financial Upside to Gay Marriage?
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) If you think your marriage to your wife would have no meaning because homosexuals were now allowed to marry, then your marriage already has no meaning. EDIT: That was harsh, but seriously, how does anyone else getting married effect your own marriage? If suddenly they issued college degrees to everyone, wouldn't it deflate the meaning of a college degree? Now he wouldn't have a marriage to prove he isn't gay.

The BCS Sucks Vent Thread
The Big 12 South is the thing here and I see and hear more from these teams than any other. The consensus down here is TT was the third best of the three. They were also probably a top 5 of 6 team in the nation. If those teams all played in different conferences, they would all have been odds on favorites to win any conference in America. Exciting and aggravating. In basketballl they all might have been in different brackets.

Just an aside. If we continue to bail out industries, but it does not result in saving employment, have we spent that money wisely?
