    Fox no longer a news organization

    Of course you're not buying my explanation. You're not buying any explanation other than the one that feeds your, what was it?... oh, yeah, rabid ideological extremism. You don't know that, either. All you know about are the place cards that Shepard Smith told you about, for Brian Williams at...

    Fox no longer a news organization

    Petty implies that it was done intentionally, but you have no evidence that it was. I've already given one plausible explanation of how it could have happened. But now you've taken the same complete lack of evidence and taken it one step further by claiming Obama himself was the one who was...

    I'm sure you'll want to counter this with some pithy dismissive, but your answer to that question certainly clarifies your participation in this thread. When faced with the chance to set the personal stuff aside, you'd rather not participate. ok

    Mad Archery Skills

    Legolas Greenleaf the Elf (Orlando Bloom) in Lord of the Rings can fire off arrows in rapid fire succession like crazy, just as fast as he could draw them from his quiver. Same with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in The Hunger Games. Grab. Whoosh. Grab. Whoosh. ("I recently read about a...

    Fox no longer a news organization

    "Pettiness" is a judgement made without justification. It's a conclusion based solely on a belief with no evidence whatsoever to back it up. There is no evidence anywhere that indicates it was done on purpose. The link supplied with your judgement does nothing to support your conclusion. The...

    Eat Like You Mean It

    ABC's Good Morning America thinks is crosses the line for a Super Bowl commercial. But, of course, it doesn't cross the line for early morning television. They were all over it. :D

    Eat Like You Mean It

    Ah, the Super Bowl, that time of year where we get to see the latest from Carl's Jr slash Hardees. In an homage to a scene from Austin Powers, played to the music of all-natural meat-eating Ted Nugent, Carl's Jr debuts the All Natural Burger, with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and...

    Fox no longer a news organization

    It's pretty funny, especially if it was done intentionally. But the level of intelligence inside the White House forces me to at least allow the possibility that whoever did that thinks Fox and Fox News are one in the same.

    I'm really looking forward to this one!

    Yeah, I knew that. I just didn't want to take this as an opportunity to take cheap pokes at individuals for any past comments made outside this thread. If they want to comment here on this (the more the better, I think) then let the game begin. I think (obviously) the Pope addressing a Joint...

    I'm really looking forward to this one!

    Sorry, I didn't miss the sarcasm. My response was in kind, as well. But it doesn't really read that way. Even though I quoted you, I wasn't replying to you directly. I quoted it for reference. I was replying to anyone reading who has the same thought, because it's a legitimate point on which a...

    What show? I said, as you quoted, that "I'm aware of Prime Time Hours, but I never knew there was such a thing as Prime Time News Hours." It's not a correction of any kind. It's a simple statement of fact, that I really and truly never have heard of Prime Time News Hours. It's a very simple...

    I'm really looking forward to this one!

    Like the ACLU? <snort> If the Pope does visit, it will be unprecedented. No Pope or religious leader who also serves as a head of state has ever formally and officially addressed Congress. I don't have a a problem with the Pope visiting the people of Congress, or the people of any other...

    Yeah, I read it, and I admit an error there in that I was wrong. I assumed it was just a mistake on how they referred to Bosley, since two days earlier on Sept 8th is when the Supreme Court ruled to suspend Bosley's license, but his license wasn't officially suspended until after his appeal was...

    I'm really looking forward to this one!

    I wondered how long it might be before someone brought that up. :rolleyes: Yes, Vatican City is a nation state (technically a city state), the smallest in the world, where the US has almost zero national security or economic interests. But even at that, the Pope wasn't invited as the head of...

    The point I made earlier. You know, the point about you'd rather challenge me to shut me up because you disagree with me, than to discuss things intelligently. I never corrected Prime Time News Hours, I merely said that I'd never heard of it. But you intentionally misconstrued that to try and...

    Thank you for proving my point. For example, I never claimed my points and questions were interesting, I merely said that _I_ thought they were. And I did that specifically so that some goober didn't come along and accuse me of being conceded instead of trying to discuss the questions asked a d...

    $3000 per week

    Anyone who's been on a cruise likely knows how appealing that might be. It seems like high rent, and it is, but it includes a stateroom, all the available entertainment (live shows, theater, etc.), round the clock meals and all gratuities. There are a few people with permanent residences on...

    I'm really looking forward to this one!

    The Pope merely visiting SCOTUS or POTUS or Congress is one thing. It's fine. But for Speaker of the House John Boehner, a Catholic, to invite the Catholic Pope to appear and address a specially convened Joint Meeting of Congress for that purpose, and then for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi...

    I'm Speechless. I Got Nothing.

    Civil Rights violations has a really high bar to hurdle. Even if Wilson were 100% wrong in the Brown shooting, to be a Civil Rights violation they'd have to prove it was racially motivated from the start, and that when he stopped them initially it was for the expressed purpose of violating their...
