WE KNOW IT'S YOU, PAT MORAN.

I can see it from that perspective. The onus should be on the masses to parse the meaningful messages from the meaningless ones, but I suppose it's naive to think that will ever happen on a large scale.

Why shouldn't we tolerate celebrities expressing their political views? Despite all the caustic rhetoric on this board, I never see anything along the lines of "Well you're just a *insert profession*. Stick to that and don't tell me your politics.". The difference, of course, is that the public is grotesquely infatuated with their favorite actor's or favorite musician's opinions but that can hardly be blamed on the celebrity.

I wonder if they'll give him the option of being fired by Jennifer Lopez.

It ain't easy being white. IT AIN'T EASY BEING BROWN. All this pressure to be bright. I GOT KIDS ALL OVER TOWN!

If I have to endure the nickname for unique page views, so be it. As I said in the article, the new episodes might be a little awkward and ring hollow but I'm greatly anticipating the movie.

To both the small and big screens. Big news for any fan of the show. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/catching-up-with-the-stars-of-arrested-development/

"They HAVE TO win all home games..."

I believe the average prognosis for prostate cancer is significantly better than for breast cancer, as it tends to be less aggressive. So the rate of prevalence may be similar, but that doesn't mean we can equate the two. That said, I believe that there is an undeniable bias toward women's health in our country.

The premise of your thread is ridiculous.

If you believe in freedom of speech, why would you be outraged over ABC/ESPN exercising it?

So what about all those other game-changing touchdowns he's scored over the last 20 games?

Ok, an analogy is a type of comparison. Thanks for the semantics lesson. The point is that the subject of comparison was the meeting, not the man. If he had said "That would be like Elmer Fudd golfing with Bugs Bunny" would that be a statement comparing Obama to Elmer Fudd? Granted, I didn't see the follow-up comments, which are a little bit more incendiary. But like Tom said, it's !@#$ing Hank Williams Jr.!

"There's certain things called civil liberties, which are limitations on democracy. Those aren't going so great, but the 1st amendment in this country, I think, is one of the few things that's left in this country that I think are among the greatest in the world." I'd have a lot more respect for these idiots if they just said "I have no !@#$ing clue what I'm talking about, but I enjoy it when people pay attention to me."

In response to the post's title, I know stuff. Just nothing about this.

Lost in this whole flap is the seeming fact that nobody understands the difference between a comparison and an analogy. It was a stupid analogy to make, but in no way was Obama compared to Hitler.

Would you say that she's the best approximately 26 days out of the month?

I don't get the big deal. It's clearly an homage to Thomas Jefferson.

It should be noted that the "but pink is a WOMAN'S color" argument is bunkum. The whole thing is based on some inane (and plastic) social construct. In fact, it used to be that pink was considered a masculine color not 70 years ago. Some 70 years from now, it will probably change again just because people are weird like that.

Could be. Occam's Razor, in my opinion, is that Tyrus pinched it from Jesse's locker. Gus may have taken a shine to Jesse, but when you start trying to dictate who Gus can or cannot kill, you need to be shown your place. Btw, maybe it's my Mexican blood but does anybody else think that Jesse's girlfriend is like 20 different kinds of hot?

"The pink hurts my eyes and football players aren't manly enough." Somebody better call the wahmbulance.

My money is on the Vikes.

I would.

I agree. To paraphrase from the movie, Beane was the man to break down the wall. Almost a decade later, every team in the Major Leagues has their own advanced analytics department so the advantage no longer exists. Interestingly enough, the current low budget team having the most success is Tampa Bay and their offense is actually pretty shoddy by sabermetrics standards. Their highest OPS is Longoria at .850 which is solid but unspectacular for the superstar he's presumed to be. They do, however, have excellent pitching and defense by any standard.
