Early impression: Graphics are ok and so are the mechanics. Is it me or is there a lot less random weapons just laying around to pick up then in previous installments. Maybe I have just not explored enough yet. Also, is there a certain button you press to pick up weapons or do you just walk over them? I beat up some CALTrans workers and they dropped their pick-axe but Nico didn't pick it up.....is that just not available or do I have to press a certain buttom combo?

Keep telling yourself that. B.O. Hussein chose Wright. Either he agreed with his anti-American sentiments, or he didn't mind them, or he was blind, deaf, and stupid for 20 years. Pick any or all of the above, but don't imagine for one second that your answer (whatever it is) will make anyone more likely to vote for the Obamessiah. Or maybe he didn't give those types of sermons over the course of 20 years which is why nothing more then a couple of 30 second clips have been used, period. I really don't care if this makes more or less people vote for Obama, as the issue is the media running with sensationalistic bullshit that distract people from legit issues because afterall, ratings are what should matter when it comes to the news, right?

He's the guy B.O. Hussein listened to for 20 years. Was wedded to his wife by him, had his house dedicated by him, said he brought him to Christ. He called him his "spiritual adviser" and his "mentor" and put him on his campaign team. Yes, Wright is an issue. One that speaks directly to B.O. Hussein's judgement and character. No, it speaks to Wright's character and judgement. Guilt by association is bullshit. Keep in mind this is still all over a couple of 30 second youtube clips. Nothing more, but lets stay outraged over nothing a little while longer, shall we?

So you can get back to fellating your mulatto saint? What the hell have I ever posted on this forum or anywhere else that suggests I "fellate" Obama? Obama has legit flaws and issues, no one is denying that(well not me anyway), but the Rev. Wright bullshit isn't a legit one, it is a sensationalist media snow job over just about nothing, but they can't help themselves over such trivial garbage, can they? If the same thing was happening to a conservative candidate I could just hear Marney and co. screaaaaaaming "OMG LIBERAL MEDIA LIBERAL MEDIA, THE LEFTIST BASTARDS THIS IS SUCH A NON ISSUE"
-
Quite frankly, I am tired of people being outraged, saddened, happy, angry, upset etc etc by Rev. Wright's comments. How about people start just not giving a flying fuck about his comments, agreeing or disagreeing is irrelevent, just stop giving a shit about them and let this coverage die the quick death it deserves. Seriously it is fucking trivial. The entire soap opera has gotten way more coverage then it deserves already.

I am already kind of jealous of all the kids I stood in line with last night to get the game. At 28,(well 28 in a few months), I was probably one of the oldest in the crowd of a hundred or so. All of them conversating with each other about how they would be playing all night, and into the morning etc......while I basically bought the game, opened it, popped it in for a preview of what is to come, then had to retire to bed for work.......I am now sitting here at work counting down the hours till I get to play the damn game.

How 'bout "ignore Jeremiah Wright" and move on to something that matters?

Just got home with it.....where I live there are two Gamestops within 2 miles from my house....both had lines around the building and the evening news came out to shoot some footage for the 11 o'clock news..... Ok gonna go play this now....

So to download the Mario Kart channel, can this be done via the game itself, or do you download it like other channels and just go online without the game on and download it?
-
Well I am officially an idiot. I totally forgot that Gamestop closes early on Sundays so I didn't get to pick up the game yesterday as I stayed at my cousin's sons birthday too long.....so today after work on the way home I will be picking the game up along with either a classic controller or a Gamecube controller, whichever is cheaper. How do you find your Mario Kart friend code, or is it something you create when you get the game, like a Game Tag or something?

The dumbest thing ever is that show The X Effect, just because the entire scenario is beyond fake.

So is that a strong enough ME to keep it on PPV?

I use the Wii mainly for multiplayer games. The only platforming game I have purchase was Super Mario Galaxy. It was excellent so I would probably buy a sequel when the time comes. Other then that I have games like, Carnival Games, Super Monkey Banana Blitz, & a some stupid 4X4 racing game. Oh and I will have Mario Kart this Sunday. For me, I don't look to the Wii for much more then that and for the price tag of the system I don't mind that at all. When the right platforming games comes along that I really want, I won't hesitate.

Pulling someone over is probable cause to search the vehicle. Sorry bud. I don't see what this has to do with allowing more conservative judges on the Supreme Court. Nothing at all, actually. Ok, maybe it is a state thing.....I always thought that pulling someone over for a traffic violation itself didn't warrent a search. Now, if you pull someone over and they are bumbling/stumbling/smell like happy hour/nervous/anxious/huge cloud of pot smoke coming from car/drug paraphernalia clearly in sight etc etc.... THEN YEAH there is probable cause for the next step, but if someone is merely pulled over for a traffic infraction I didn't think it warranted an automatic search of their car. I could be wrong though.

McCain opposes equal pay bill in Senate http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080424/ap_on_...wQ7mAqqckfCw5R4 Is McCain confusing the issue? I thought the issue wasn't that women can't find good paying jobs, I thought it was that they are being paid less to do the same jobs that men do. Why should they have to have more education and training if they are already doing the same job?

MMA Comments that Don't Warrant a Thread
NoCalMike replied to RavishingRickRudo's topic in Mixed Martial Arts
Yes it is, and MMA fighters should be smarter then that anyway, anyone with half a brain knows that anyone with Kimbo's punching power is going to have a chance, and it is not like the guy is not taking MMA seriously. His trainers are legit and are being smart managers for him. Sure, he still has a ways to go technique-wise, but he could probably legit put almost anyone to sleep if and when he connects with his fists. The more Kimbo is bashed, the more it gives Kimbo a venue to respond and grow a brand-name for himself and Elite XC, and when he finally does come to UFC, a lot of guys are going to hope they aren't the first to get a crack at him with a chance to eat their words. -

Yessir, I just got the event numbers mixed up.....so to clarify.....84 is a big money show, 85 should be free on Spike....and then 86 is Rampage/Griffin. Thanks, Mik. -

yawn No, you just missed the following sentence which said, I have little to no sympathy for this specific idiot, but this ruling is much bigger then this specific incident.

Another reason we can't have a conservative for the next four years appointing potential supreme court justices...... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080423/ap_on_...o/scotus_search WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court affirmed Wednesday that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law. The unanimous decision comes in a case from Portsmouth, Va., where city detectives seized crack cocaine from a motorist after arresting him for a traffic ticket offense. David Lee Moore was pulled over for driving on a suspended license. The violation is a minor crime in Virginia and calls for police to issue a court summons and let the driver go. Instead, city detectives arrested Moore and prosecutors say that drugs taken from him in a subsequent search can be used against him as evidence. "We reaffirm against a novel challenge what we have signaled for half a century," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote. Scalia said that when officers have probable cause to believe a person has committed a crime in their presence, the Fourth Amendment permits them to make an arrest and to search the suspect in order to safeguard evidence and ensure their own safety. Moore was convicted on a drug charge and sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that police should have released Moore and could not lawfully conduct a search. State law, said the Virginia Supreme Court, restricted officers to issuing a ticket in exchange for a promise to appear later in court. Virginia courts dismissed the indictment against Moore. Moore argued that the Fourth Amendment permits a search only following a lawful state arrest. In a concurring opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she finds more support for Moore's position in previous court cases than the rest of the court does. But she said she agrees that the arrest and search of Moore was constitutional, even though it violated Virginia law. The Bush administration and attorneys general from 18 states lined up in support of Virginia prosecutors. The federal government said Moore's case had the potential to greatly increase the class of unconstitutional arrests, resulting in evidence seized during searches being excluded with increasing frequency. Looking to state laws to provide the basis for searches would introduce uncertainty into the legal system, the 18 states said in court papers. _____________________________ Wow, more people going to jail for drugs.....labor on the cheap in our privatized prison system. Doesn't it make you feel all warm inside!!!

I guess the Cardinals turned down a trade offer from Washington for Bolden. Not sure the specifications but I am sure it is was similar to the offer for Chad.

Thom Hartman - This is the definition of an "issues" radio talk show. He is all issues, all the time and invites on guests that disagree with him and they politely debate the issues. It is a pretty refreshing show whether you agree with him or not. It is kind of a shame that he is part of Air America now because that label is going to get him stereotyped. I have a feeling he won't last too long there because he is not really in lock step with the democratic party establishment. Dennis Miller - Ya know, when the guy got mad because someone called Bush, "Hitler" I could kind of understand where he was coming from, but the rest of his schtick just feels like a total, complete 100% act. It is like just because he disagrees about one issue, he has to now pretend he is Mr. Conservative on every issue down the line because if he doesn't conform, he won't be accepted. Another one who jumped on the conservative bandwagon when it became hip to do so. I didn't even look at the date of this thread and thought it was new, so a bunch of other people I was going to list have already been thouroughly covered.

CBSsportsline's ranking comments for the A's is amusing. It talks about their lack of power and how it will keep them from winning even though they have very good pitching so far. So lets put aside that through 20 games, they are off to their best start since 1992, and the fact that leading up to this year they kept being criticized for relying on a big free agent DH to score all their runs for them with the "big key homerun", so finally they are scoring runs with singles and doubles and they get criticized for having a lack of power. Whatever. Look, I am not predicting the A's to be a playoff team, but the last time I checked when you come out with Power Rankings on a weekly basis, your comments and rankings should be based on what the team has done up to that point, and not what you think might happen down the road.

Right, Clinton will use the slim margin of victory to tell the world that the "tide is turning" even though she was predicted to win Penn from the get-go. She can stay in it as long as she wants, but it is kind of pointless. The only reason now may be to sabatoge Obama so when McCain wins and keeps Bush's policies alive, she can position herself for a 2012 run, but that is a kind of far-fetched scenario.
