I don’t think it will say anything particularly new or interesting about me or the country either way. I’m 99% confident that Obama has it locked up though and I’m extremely curious to see how this forum reacts. I’m gonna really enjoy all the screaming.

This is just what you want to happen, right. I think it's pretty clear Obama will get Ohio and end up with aroun 280-290 for the win.

I'll echo Stuckincincy and the Dean. And Crayonz. Also, Sketch Soland.

Note to self: roll eyes in grand gesture of bored disdain in 2015.

Hey, Bullpen. What's goin' on? Haven't heard from you much lately.

That's not unusual for ASL. A good interpreter is supposed to use gestures and facial expressions for emphasis and color. I just thought she was very cute, that's all.

Lydia Callis. She's cute, no?

Ok, bye.

Happy Halloweek!

Heroin addiction? The meth problem is much worse, no?

The only kind of science that religious fundamentalism is consistent with is bad science. Religious fundamentalism is all about a rigid, firmly held belief system based solely on fallacies (appeals to tradition, authority, fear, an ancient "infallible" book, etc...) Science, when done correctly, eschews all of these prejudices.

All the obfuscation about tax policy and the inevitable revelations that the math of campain promises "doesn't add up" reminds me of a great Steve Martin bit, circa 1979. "How to be a millionaire and never pay taxes" You say.. “Steve... how can I be a millionaire... and never pay taxes?” First...get a million dollars. Now... you say, “Steve... what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You... have never paid taxes’?” Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!”

I think there's still debate going on about whether it's even real. It's real to me and there's as close as you can get to a consensus among climate scientists, but there's still a lot of people, including prominent politicians on the national stage, who insist that it is not happening.

Great job not lettin' that one get by ya.

Curious to hear people’s thoughts on this. I think it’s the problem of hyper-incarceration rates in this country as related to the war on drugs. The so-called “prison industrial complex.” I happen to be pro-Obama overall, but I’m disappointed in what he and Gil Kerlikowske have failed to do on this issue. Seemed that early on they acknowledged the problem and vowed to approach it differently, but it’s been pure status quo since. Obviously, it’s an issue neither side wants to bring up, but even the media seems afraid to mention it. I would have loved to hear a question raised in one of the debates about it, but not even close. What’s the important issue that you feel should be talked about but isn’t?

A rose by any other name would smell as sw--oh wait, bad example. Anyway, it's the same girl. Hey, Lana.

Why does god hate us so?

Really liked watching him play. Best post-Kelly QB we've had. Never understood all the hatred. Happy Birthday DF!

I am in an abusive relationship and I don't know what to do. I find myself irresistably attracted to this particular sports team. I shower affection upon this team, I give support (both financially and emotionally) and I am 100% faithful. I do not even look at other teams. In return, I am treated very cruelly. I have tried to deny it for a very long time, but it's clear to me now that there is a pattern of abuse that has cost me dearly in terms of suffering and damage to my emotional well-being. I know that I should sever the relationship and that I'll never be happy until I do, but it's hard. I have so much time and effort invested in this relatationship. The team keeps telling me that it's going to do better and that good times are just around the corner. I know that this is the same thing I've been told over and over again for years, but I just want so much to believe it's true! The other thing is that this particular team is kind of fragile. Other teams make fun of my team and my team is very self-conscious about this. My fear is that without my support, the team might decide that it's not worth it to carry on. I don't know if I could live with myself if something terrible happened to this team. What I do know for sure is that I cannot continue with the way things have been going. There was an incident this weekend and I was hurt very badly. Afterwards, the team said the usual things about how it's going to do better, etc... and how it can change. But I don't even want to hear it anymore. Any advice would be appreciated.

It's a sad and beautiful world

Wow, this kid is a piece of work.

There’s that legend of the three Chinese curses, of increasing severity... May you live in interesting times May you come to the attention of important people May your wishes be granted Definitely applies to Lance’s life.
