LOL social conservatives. Wrong about everything since, well, forever.

so no evidence that they're one judge away, but more stupid scaremongering. Got it.

My daughter - who does her best to keep me informed about web sites - showed me a new one.

Consists of people listing things that they hope for Barack Obama. Some are cute, some funny, some sarcastic.

Here's one I consider pretty thoughtful:

So, is this type of website new, or just new to me?

nah, texts from bennett (THANKS SNAGGLE IT PROBABLY ISNT REAL!) and gs elevator gossip are pretty similar.

Do you have pvn on ignore because that's the only other thing he posts besides the pear.

Britain's England and Wales coalition is finally making inroads on their promised move to allow gay people to call themselves married in England and Wales (Scotland already has that devolved power and i guess Northern Ireland does too).

For the record civil partnerships which offer equal rights but not the name "marriage" are already legal and fully accepted. They seem to have struck a weird compromise that means religious groups that want to marry gay people cant do so but i think its better to take this small step now and then take that next step another couple years down the line that risk getting nothing now if that is how the expected votes line up.

Proof if ever it were needed that politics can create weird bedfellows and i still dont get how this compromise got thought up. Hopefully its just removed in committee anyway after they start working out if they have the votes to allow voluntary religious gay marriage to be legalised.

Oh Catholic leaders, at least you are consistent.

btw, instead of making up bull**** reasons to vote for obama, how bout voting for the only time the government is remotely accountable? Aka, when its split?

Republicans will likely control the Senate, probably the house. Vote Obama for split government!

Hooray gridlock!

'This American Life' gets caught making **** up.

Please get Ira Glass off my NPR forever.

This was only a good strategy when parties were responsible enough that there wasn't a real risk that the government would default on the national debt in a fit of pique and inane ideological fervor.

There was never a real risk of that happening. Ever.

What are you basing that on? I agree it's unlikely, but how certain can you really be?

Call the hate police.

Your point in posting that vid is... what, exactly? Don't be niggardly in sharing your motivations.

FYP

Anyway, yeah, does the steam know the etymology of "niggardly?"

Not sure if serious...

Quick plug for the iPhone, but I being able to highlight words like "etymology" and "niggardly", click "define" and a dictionary pops up to the front.

Very very nice IMO

Yeah I am still pissed about Mizzou.

Yeah, both of my brackets got wrecked by the d00k and Mizzou losses.

So, just because I happen to be in middle-eastern PA everything around me has turned into some orgasm of Lehigh. It's really quite annoying because most of these morons couldn't give two ****s about that school like ever and have no association with it whatsoever. Hell, the only reason most of them know about it is because the Eagles have their preseason camp there.


Am I supposed to be all excited about them beating Duke just because they're in my general vicinity?

^Seems like a cheap high.

The duh test. No one was ever going to allow the country to go into default.

Remember the guy who got fired? It was all over the news and called "niggardlygate".
