Of course not. Listening to Tom Petty and getting hit in the face with a truck tire would be redundant.

The Cars aren't bad. But they're no Night Ranger.

It depends. The problem with nuking one is that you don't really change the trajectory, you just break the asteroid into a bunch of smaller asteroids. Now, that can be beneficial, since smaller rocks burn up in the atmosphere, whereas big rocks land. So you don't get the same ground-effect as you do from one big rock...but you're still popping all that orbital energy into the earth's atmosphere. Which isn't too bad for smallish asteroids, but beyond a certain size (pretty large - about a mile across) all that energy heats the atmosphere and causes a good bit of destruction on its own. Basically, the difference between a "nuked" and "whole" asteroid is the difference between buckshot and a deer slug. But you're not deflecting an asteroid with a nuke, unless you do it "Armageddon" style (bury it, split the asteroid in half, and the halves recoil away from each other. Literally, the only physics the movie got even remotely right.) Beam soup commercials at it, it'll run away.

Took a piece of truck tread through my windshield many years ago (2004, probably). Truck's wheel about 50 yards in front of me came apart, and a good-sized section came straight at me quicker than I could react. That was fun.

Freebird sucks. Every time I hear it, I can't believe Skynyrd performed it. It sounds so much more like extended Tom Petty suckage.

How about we move him to LB to replace Foggie?

The timing works. If they're going to declass, it makes the most sense to do it during the August Congressional break. -
Can't you two just have stupid arguments about quarterbacks like normal people?

I would laugh my ass off if Trump nominated someone named "Hitler" to the post.

Well this is a slippery slope I did not see coming...

I can't say I disagree with them, though... -
Everything Joe Biden--Gaffes, Miscues, Touching, Songs

He's Jimmy Carter with limper wrists. -
Yeah, the Chicago Tribune got the records of all Obama's opponents unsealed, but Obama's media consultant - David Axelrod - being an employee of The Trib was entirely coincidental and completely unrelated. Change the names to "Trump" and "Manafort," and that same set of associations is an impeachable offense.

Cultural enclaves are not the same as "make the US into their country." Rather, it's exactly a symptom of what idiot-boy said. I think, however, it's slightly different in the southwest, where you have a distinct group of people calling themselves "La Raza" and agitating for the "Reconquista."

Russia builds intermediate-range nuclear missiles, and Trump is ditching the INF agreement? How's that work again?

Bi-Partisan Support For Impeachment

Not high enough to listen to Tom Petty. That would be impeachable. -
Everyone in Baltimore gets one of those on their birthday.

Ford's one of those few Hollywood stars I'd like to hit a bar with for an evening. Him, Bruce Willis...maybe Chris Pratt or Bradley Cooper. That's about it, really. -
Gotta be pretty quick to beat me to a Father Guido Sarducci reference.

Or at least the first to stand - I imagine quite a few were just following the lead of the first standers. And I can forgive Adrien Brody because...c'mon, Polanski won for Brody's Oscar-winning performance. Ford, though...he's got this great "Are we really ***** doing this?" look on his face. -
Hell, no. Those things are dangerous!

Can we get a fact-check, Snopes?
