Jobber of the Week

The first article was penned by an "attorney and consumer advocate." The second article had no specific author. Scientists, please?

Should George W Bush have resigned from Governor of Texas while running for President in 2000? Texas pretty much had an out-of-office governor leading into the election.

Sources, Mike?

(Note: KKK alert for incoming "Kerry is a veteran" revelation) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004Jun22.html I'm sure someone will say that this is just payback for the filibusters that occured during the whole judge nominee thing, and it'll simply prove my point that this kind of crap goes both ways.

You're going to hardly believe this, but supposedly he was very close to the top office. I was shocked and amazed. He striked me as such a blue-collar man.

Perhaps you didn't see that the number there didn't change from last month. 1.4 vs 1.4.

What? He did a nice one to the floor at WM. Noble needs some speaking help. His southern accent is so thick that he's pigeonholed himself into Angry Redneck territory. The day that they take everyone's suggestion to do something with Paul London is probably the same day they take my suggestion to make Moore the new J.Hardy silent bumpmachine who gets big pops for killing himself.

That's just an example of what feels like an ulterior motive. Face it, if someone wrote about Hannity, Rush, or especially O'Reilly with that kind of passion, it'd be a "hit piece."

Cerebus' article seems less like an actual review and just more of an impassioned editorial against Moore. What in the hell does that have to do with the film or the messages it presents? It is simply sound and fury, signifying nothing.

"Fox News Channel lost $150 million in its first two years," Franken said. "That was a much bigger rathole than our rathole." If you wish, I will bring the mustard to the '05 TSM COOK-OFF~! where we can all enjoy watching you eat your hat. Then again, I don't have years studying economics, but I wouldn't stake yours on this one if I were you.

Human cloning? That seems the be the one everybody and their brother is against. I'm not against exploring the science for informative purposes, although I don't think it cloning should be an everyday affair either ("crap, forgot to do the laundry. I'll guess I'll make myself a Laundry Clone.") LOL. Now to find out if "kkktookmybirkenstocksaway" is too long of a name for the board. My favorite part of the poll is about how doctor-assisted suicide is so much more approved than regular ol' suicide. I guess it's not so much the voluntary self-murder aspect for everybody so much as the mess you leave behind.

It's also based on shitty investors. See the WSJ story where certain people in positions of power claimed to have more money than they really did. When you're having lavish launch parties that your company is paying the tab for with it's futures but none of the employees are aware, you're entering a dot-com sized disaster unless somebody at the top goes. Which is the case of that "OMG MAJOR MANAGERS LEAVE WHAT'S GONING ON" story a few months back.

Bending to them is the worst thing that you can do. You'll make everyone even less safe if you spread the idea that all anyone has to do to change policy is kidnap a few people.

http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/D...D=07/16/04&CE=0 A 1.4 to a 1.4. No change.

Keep in mind everyone's "odds" kind of depends on their politics. I think the past month has been good news for Bush, comparatively. The prison scandal is, at last, old news. We've had the June 30th news blasted at our eyeballs constantly. The news and inquiries about torture at Gitmo don't have flashy pictures and naked people pyramids to catch their attention. So all and all, it's been good for Bush. But the recent polls by the Washington Post show Kerry having almost a 10% lead over Bush. They're tied on how they'd handle terrorism (despite Kerry having no terror record) and Bush's disapproval rating now eeks out his approval rating. In short, all this good news has done nothing.

*puffs up* STOP THAT. NOW.

I'd say it's become more accepting of homosexuals. Run this poll fifty years ago. Fifty years ago, teenage mothers weren't such a problem. They are now, and yet rather than show concern about it, the public conciousness has simply accepted seeing a woman who's never been in a seriously committed relationship lugging a child around.

I think the biggest problem was at one point it appeared that South Korea was getting ready to apply their Chap-Stick and kiss up to the Saudis to find this guy. You cannot respond to these threats. All you will do is make kidnappings more common and things will get worse.

Okay, to put the editing rumors to rest, here's a 96K MP3 file of all the crowd chants in the match from the DVD. They're all quite audible, although a "Boring" chant suddently becomes "Goldberg." This Match Sucks and others are quite easy to hear. The second Goodbye chorus seems shorter than I remember, perhaps they played Goldberg's theme longer to cover it?

Friend of mine sent this to me. Appearantly, Gallup put on some kind a poll asking people what's morally right and wrong by today's standards, and while they've got charts and graphs up at the page for it, this is the data without all their extraneous text SUMMARY TABLE: MORAL ACCEPTABILITY OF ISSUES 2004 May 2-4 (sorted by "morally acceptable") Morally Morally acceptable wrong % % Divorce 66 26 Gambling 66 30 The death penalty 65 28 Buying and wearing clothing made of animal fur 63 31 Medical testing on animals 62 32 Sex between an unmarried man and woman 60 36 Medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos 54 37 Doctor-assisted suicide 53 41 Having a baby outside of marriage 49 45 Homosexual behavior 42 54 Abortion 40 50 Cloning animals 32 64 Suicide 15 79 Cloning humans 9 88 Married men and women having an affair 7 91 Polygamy, when one husband has more than one wife at the same time 7 91 What the hell? I post these parts again to make sure everyone has done a double take: Sex between an unmarried man and woman 60 36 Having a baby outside of marriage 49 45 Homosexual behavior 42 54 Being loose and easy? Fine? Accidentally getting her preggers and having a baby raised without a "real" family? Well, we'll let it pass. BUT DON'T YOU LET THOSE TWO MEN BUMP UGLIES! I think I'll go to bed and wonder what the hell happened to the world.

Poor AJ. This "suprise big event" is going to lay an egg.

-Linda also commented that the McMahon family won’t be appearing on television as much.

Rock Promos = $$$$$$$

Uhm, no. The Goodbye chants are there. Goldberg Sucks is there. You can hear "Boring" quite clearly although in one scene it merges into a Goldberg chant. As well as a ton of booing. I'd say it's still quite the trainwreck, although just not crashing into the station and out the other side. But most of that is probably because of hindsight. But the audio just seems generally screwy. If this goes onto Disc 2 then I'm upset, but so far it's not THAT bad on headphones. It really hates plan ol' 2-speaker TVs though. I know the show wasn't filmed in 5.1, but I was curious of their use of it on the DVD fucked the audio.
