  1. Rush Limbaugh is possibly the most overrated personality in all of "politics." His show is all attitude and bloviation, and his main strength is that he's obnoxiously entertaining. His substanceless show has cornered the market for "entertaining" conservative personalities and that is the true tale of his success. He's a big loud mouth shouting about nothing dressed up as something. More power to him, but it's created a legion of retards who parrot his gimmick and think this is the way they should think and talk with other people.
  2. And it played into awkward scene where he went to his house w/ nothing to say (nothing he could say that is) and just left the money. The fly + the scan scene mean one thing that is clear...cancer is back. Jesse was the only one he could tell...but he can't even tell Jesse know. The money is there. It's time to stop cooking and salvage what memory he can leave to those who will remember him. Except...Hank found out at the end. He's taking meds in the flash forward, the fly is back in this episode, he randomly stops cooking (despite being the empire business) and it shows a scene where he's scanned, he wanted to tell Jesse something but he didn't b/c he realized he couldn't...it's clear. Cancer is back. Hank knows. He outran everything except Hank and his cancer. Enter final scene.
  3. I just don't see any evidence or reasonable outlook forecasting the anti-government policies that have taken over the GOP will succeed in the 21st century. People demonize the stimulus...say what you want it did what they thought it would and more importantly we will reap benefits from it over the next decade. Obviously Dems need to embrace entitlement reform as a group more than they have no doubt...but when I look at the rest of the world rising, everyone playing the game, and see what the BRIC nations are doing investing to compete in the next century I don't know why everyone is so ready and willing to demonize investing in our future. Infrastructure (including high speed rail), green technology/the smart grid, education, ARPA-e.. That's what "forward" means to me. Now I'm grabbing some beers and hitting the pool
  4. I just bought a PS3 today to stream it. If you have the ticket (or know somebody who will give you their info) you stream for free on PS3 or online. Or you can buy for a few hundred for PS3 package but if you buy the PS3 package, you cannot stream online and if you buy online package you cannot stream on PS3. In other words if you have the direct TV package you can do it all. If you buy anything else you can only do what you buy.
  5. Straight popular vote, and you can vote online or by text. Clay Aiken for President.
  6. I can't say for sure where i got the impression but I was under the impression that it was a little while and a good bit of the time was not a firefight but them sweeping the compound and taking anything that could provide them information. And either planting or finding porn hehe
  7. Meh...to be honest it's pretty retarded. As are a lot of things embodied in our ancient constitution (which is certainly a great piece of political science history that we are all proud of)
  8. Dude Spikes is fine c'mon...considering his childhood he's a stand up guy. Better than almost anyone would be.
  9. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/08/pentagon-threatens-legal-action-against-navy-seal-author-and-publisher/56409/ Pentagon not happy. They may file criminal prosecution or at the very least take all the money.
  10. Bills should do it I would love to see it. It doesn't do anything bad ... no extra film of any merit to help other teams these guys are pros no meaningful distraction that actually effects camp and work all that stuff is overblown...Hardknocks is entertaining and I would love to see my team on it. There's no reason teams should be so opposed to being on the show....it's really no big deal.
  11. Not very many specifics on anything the entire convention but that's to be expected and would but dumb as **** to have done plain and simple. That's not what it was for and really not the point of these things in general.. Solid event for the crowd. That's what it should be and for this crowd it was.
  12. In general I think he was humanized a bit but honestly I doubt the testimonials will get much attention or got much attention live. Politically (once again solid night for Mitt himself) those testimonials should have come earlier in the campaign and (IMO once again) the Eastwood thing was a failure and will take some attention away from the positives tonight. Anyway I'll stop posting negatives hehe not trying to start a fight on this grand night of GOP celebration. Tomorrow perhaps I'll comment on the content of Romney that I didn't like but for now I'll just say the delivery was his personal best. And honestly who are we kidding you all know the parts I hate anyway so it's not worth dwelling on.
  13. Hehe...look I'm not here to **** on the GOP finale I really don't like some of Mitt's policies and there some lines in there that touched on them but all in all I really don't think anyone will doubt it was his best yet. Would be surprised if he doesn't get a momentary lead in the polls even past margin of error for the first time but of course it's a long race...but it was a good night for Mitt. That said...(once again don't want to reign down on this night for Repubs or you guys)...the Clint thing was something I watched. It was bizarre and weird and not good at all to me. I don't need some link to explain why it wasn't...I watched it. If it wasn't that bad to you fine...but I have a different opinion and even though you'll never believe I can be objective (and maybe you are right) it really just was terrible to me. That said...everybody (people like me who hated it and people like you who liked it) will be better off if it's forgotten and the talk is on Mitt b/c Mitt probably spoke better tonight that he has before. Not amazing, but good for really the first time I've seen him be good. Obviously the content in many spots was not my cup of tea, but the speech itself was solid and his personal best.
  14. Really disliked some specific parts of the speech b/c of my view, but without a doubt the best of Mitt's career no doubt.
  15. Sort of checking off boxes of trouble spots but that's to be expected. Rose story good for the emotional touch. Going well
  16. "His best yet" John...don't misquote me hehe
  17. less nauseating end to Rubio's speech and I don't care what anyone says the Clint thing was bizarre rambling and I love him
  18. Rubio's speech nauseating as well...Mitt will look good after these two i really do believe he'll give his best yet
  19. I'm way to distracted to pay attention to Rubio now... Funny tweet: "old white man arguing w/ an imaginary Barrack Obama" hehe...sums it up nicely... love you Clint not mad you want Romney just thought it was bizarre delivery
  20. I love Clint and it was bad. I'm going to forget about it.
  21. Eastwood thing a bit bizarre ...not sure Eastwood knows Mitt's foreign policy...I like Eastwood but this is going poorly by any standard
  22. Clearly Bush's fault. If the GOP cared about the signature on the letter they should not put McCain on the stage war mongering. Bush lied, ,People died. <to be clear here read:sarcasm>
  23. Damn when does Rubio and Eastwood go on? Is Mitt going on by 10? Getting close
