This folder needs an "OAO Who Died Today" thread.

Are you guys auditioning to be the new Pope or something? This holier than thou crap's becoming unbearable. Someone scores a point against Mike, and everyone's silent. Someone scores a point against Mike and caps it off with a rude comment, and everyone says "good point, but you shouldn't have made the rude comment." You people are unbeleivable.

I know I would mind seeing in person some night when my wife's away...

Fever Pitch doesn't actually open until 4/8.

Ebert's review http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.d...EVIEWS/50322001 So either the fat man hasn't lost his mind after all, or the movie totally sucks.

of course I do. Do you understand what a biopic is, then?

If we were going to cut those programs in an across-the-board effort to balance the budget, that'd be one thing. But to cut them out INSTEAD OF cancelling a tax cut? No thanks. I'm not going to completely take away health coverage from the poor and the elderly just so we can owe a few less dollars on April 15th.

I'd thought of that, but assuming they didn't start building the second until after the first was destroyed (which isn't an absolute), the difference between 20 years and 3 (or so) years makes this a little bit of a stretch. Not impossible, because your point is logical, but a tiny stretch nonetheless. Of course, it also makes PERFECT SENSE that they'd start building the Death Star right away, so the Emperor wouldn't need the Senate anymore to control the regional governments without the bureacracy. Too bad Lord Vader's sorcerous ways didn't give him the ability to conjure up those missing data tapes, or clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fortr...**gasps for air**...

The hell? What is this, election night??

That one fucking killed me.

Actually, I think the liberals don't like games like this because they glorify the evil objects known as automobiles. Here in Boston the ledt hates them som much that they have been wsting billions to bury them in the clusterfuck that is the "Big Dig." Or maybe the liberals who don't like these games don't like them because THEY GLORIFY CRIME. Ever think of that? But they seldom complain about rap. Odd. -=Mike I hear just as many liberals complain about rap as I hear complain about GTA.

A few years ago, I had a friend who was a professional stand up comedian. I'm sure if he died, and I posted a thread called "Comedian John Smith died", everyone would know who I was talking about because I used the word "comedian".

Hey, at least the media isn't burying this story the way they did Mother Theresa. After Popes John and John Paul, I'm convinced the next Pope needs to be called Pope John Paul George.

Terry Shiavo didn't kill his wife. The heart attack did.

I didn't get it either.

In that vein, a rumour that's been popping up is that Drake will become Blue Beetle III, which Chuck Dixon had pushed for a long, long time ago. DC needs to learn how to create new characters again.

You're right. In fact, we should redistribute his hard-earned wealth to the TRULY needy. Better yet, cancel his tax cut and use it to reduce the deficit. Better yet, keep my tax cut and use the money from garbage like "endowment for the arts" to pay off the deficit. Or we could cancel the Natl. Endow. of the Arts AND your tax cut and pay it down even more.

Again... Who?

Um, no. Teresa is from Africa, but isn't "African-American" (you know, black) or some such nonsense. And, yes, Clinton was a dud President. Not quite Carter levels of dudness, but an unmitigated dud. -=Mike I'd list his many, many accomplishments, but you'd probably just give the Republican Congress credit for them. I'll cut off the debate right here and say that I disagree with your opinion, and leave it at that.

And I'm saying it's wrong. Your wife should not have the power to say "Well, he wanted to die" without some REAL concrete proof behind it. So they should take her parent's word for it instead? Legally, the husband has more jurisdiction here than the parents.

I dunno about that. What's to stop a President late in his 1st term from vetoing something in order to play to a critical part of his base in order to help his re-election? You'd hope a President wouldn't play games like that, but there's no guarantee. Well, then permit Congress to override the President's veto in this case. You do make a good point. I only say allow the President because he is the only one who can claim a national mandate for his leadership. -=Mike Yes, let's give Congress and the President absolute power. Brilliant. Not absolute power. Under that scenario, the Congress could vote itself absolute power, then override the president's veto, and the Supreme Court's ruling that the law is unconstitutional. No thanks. And I have zero faith that Congress could muster the votes to actually do that. How about we not take the risk and find out? Besides, it wouldn't take a majority. It'd just take a majority of all the members present.

My parents lost their right to make decisions for me when I turned 18. My wife will only loose that power if I divorce her. It really is that simple.
