The circle is now complete.

That's impressive, but I'd be REALLY impressed if those girls were Jewish.

According to IMDB, the girl who plays Stephanie turns 18 next month. Just sayin'.

TSM has gone from being a message board to a message bored. Thank YOU! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

Matt, I'm accusing you of clocking in late, stealing from the register, and taking 20 minute breaks instead of the 15 minutes everyone else gets.

That's still pretty generous, though.

I agree with Battlenuts 100% The metaphor I was thinking of was it was more like a high school clique where the members were picked based on popularity. These are the folks who had a tournament to get people kicked off of TSM for fuck's sake. (Before someone calls me a hypocrite for my attitude towards MikeSC a few years ago, let me point out that I long ago changed my mind about that and admitted I was wrong. Yes, there are circumstances under which people should be banned, but posting opinions--even bigoted ones--is not, inmy opinion.) Leena, despite his/her whining and hypocrisy, was right about one thing: too regularly a poster would get ganged up on because they refused to back down from an unpopular opinion and the majority's response was to throw insults at that person at every opportunity. That's an unfortunate by product of free speech and I can live with it, but then giving the majority the power to exclude the people they disagree with from the discussion will inevitably lead to a homogenous board where the highest priority is to conform. Once I found out they were keeping the board private, I lost interest and never applied.

Dear Congressman Barton, The only person "puzzled" in this clip is you, because you cannot comprehend plate tectonics. It is a scientific concept taught to children as early as elementary schools, or apparently the origin of fossil fuels as being the remains of fossils (hint: it's in the name). In other words, you are an ignorant moron. Signed, Planet Earth

Eat it, fuckwads.

Yeah...it was the Ultimates/Squadron Supreme crossover mini-series.

Was this as dumb as it looked?

The show is horrible, and yet the internet has been abuzz with how hillarious Andy Samburg's digital shorts, Weekend Update, and the run of Sarah Palin skits have been this year. For a show that hasn't been funny since (fill in favorite year here), it sure seems to keep churning out stars and memorable characters. Hell, they did a best of Amy Poehler show last night, an actress who was constantly derided for most of her years on the show, and it was great. Do I think the show consistently comes up with enough funny material to fill a 90 minute episode every single week? No. However, it is rare that a episode completely lacks anything amusing.

Yeah, but the Lionel Ritchie song has cheezy goodness. I just wasted 10 minutes trying to find clips from The Rock's speech on the June 17, 2002 episode of "RAW."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/15...tests-expected/ This report from Fox News states it is anti-tax, but other reports suggest it was anti-stimulus, anti-bailout, or anti-Obama. I have not found an exact number yet, but the closest thing I've found (and its unverified) is over a quarter-million people showed up for these on Tuesday.

Though its not much of a secret the times either party is most concerned with the deficit is when they are out of power, there are people out there who genuinely believe that Obama has doubled the national debt in the 2 months he's been president because of the blizzard of out-of-context numbers thrown at them by Hannity, Limbaugh, et. al. I remember Bill Clinton shutting a lot of people up when, as a president in his first term, told everyone the budget would already be balanced if they didn't have to pay interest on the debt run up under Reagan and Bush. Obama might want to use a similar line. Here's an article about the Tea Parties that explains the rationale behind them quite reasonably.

By the way...Do you have "Ultimate Power"?

^I was gonna say that.^

Here's what I've kind of been thinking about the protest... A lot of the people in the crowd were obviously misinformed about a lot of things. And there were also, like at EVERY protest march (no matter what the issue), a lot of lunacy. Somewhere in there, there was probably a small contingent of well-informed people with a legitimate point to make. These are people who might be aware that Obama isn't planning any major tax increases now, the effects of deficit spending from both the Bush bail-out and his stimulus package will add a substantial amount to the national debt. And these people are worried about what effect that debt will have on future generations of tax-payers, long term effects deficit spending might have on the economy, and are concerned that an unplanned tax increase may become necessary very soon. This group of people were not represented at all by the conspiracy-theorists and office-holding demagogues that we saw on TV, or the inflammatory rhetoric of the yellow journalists at Fox News.

Indeed. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jh...de-Tax-Protests

I can't argue with that logic.
