You think they are HOF material?

I have never been to the RnR HOF, but I did recently go to the EMP museum in Seattle. That was extremely interesting. Not only a lot of music stuff, but pop culture and scifi too. Well worth it if you are in Seattle.

Traffic lights, but only when they're green

I love the Royals. Kauffman Stadium is one of my favorite places to see a game. Very unassuming stadium, with a lot going for it. I also like the O's too. It is going to be hard to root against one of those teams. I guess I'll just root for some good baseball.

I'll be there too! Super psyched!

Maybe the people wouldn't be upset that is tough to say. But surely this would ruffle the feathers of many in the current regime. Listen assassination it is an easy solution but one that is loaded consequences. There is no way that any leader of any type would seriously consider assassinating Putin. It is just plan stupid and foolish. Hey it sounds like the sexy easy option, but it is not a serious one.

Well I wanted to take your statement at face value and not infer anything. Less I be chided again. I have heard many people say the same thing about how we should assassinate Putin. And that my friends would be the absolute worse thing we could do. So joking or not, it needed to be put in context.

As nice as that sounds and how easy that would be, it is against the law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_12333). Also it is incredibly stupid and shortsighted. I would have thought after a very detailed and thoughtful post on the Russia problem we wouldn't get a simple knee-jerk, Michael Bay-esqe solution. Putin is a head of state and I do not want to get in to the game of arbitrarily assassinating foreign leaders. Once we go down that road it can become a slippery slope. It was mentioned that the Russian sense of pride was hurt after the break up of the USSR, just i

I am going to put my faith in the current leadership, rather than those who claimed back in 2003 that our occupation of Iraq would take months and the oil we got from it would pay for the war 10 fold.

Our nation is so war weary, we can't take care of the soldiers from the last wars. I would hope we try every last effort before we send in troops. Don't get me wrong ISIS is a threat to our national security and the stability of the region as a whole. At this point in why not let the airstrikes play out, we are not at the point of necessity to risk lives of our American soldiers. I am no military strategist, but some have said the only way to defeat ISIS is by sending troops. But really other than vague assertions, I am not sure I have seen anything that explains to me why that is a be

Ok, I have asked this question, and it would be nice to get a straight answer. I will try to be as simple and straight forward as possible. To defeat ISIS do you find it acceptable to risk the lives and well being of American service members by bringing troops? It is a simple question.

you are the most frustrating individual. Playing with semantics to actually get around of a real question.. It is unfortunate that you can't admit anything. You won't even stand for the consequences in what you believe. I don't know if you are being coy, or think we are stupid, or maybe you are just ignorant yourself. Own up to it. Yes you didn't say it is acceptable, but you did say bring in the troops. t is not like these troops will stand around just flexing their muscles and scare ISIS away. They will fight, they will get injured, they will die. And if you see troops as the a

This is not the "thousands" you originally claimed. Of course there special ops troop and solider protecting our embassies and what not. I said previously (which you didn't seem to comment on on), the "boots on the ground" thing would be a massive call up of troops to engage in active combat. Why won't you take ownership in what you say? You dance around your statements, and try to have it both ways. Do you believe ISIS should be defeated or not? The only way you see them being defeated is by sending troops. If we send in troops American soldiers will be injured or will die (to b

You must be more adept at finding things on FoxNews then I, because looking on the front page (60 mins after the press conference) there was no straight news story on the plan. Whereas ever other major news outlet had it as the banner headline. Rather there was a headline saying why the plan sucked. My point is this, there is a segment of the population that will think this plan is bad no matter what, just because PBO presented it. The plan may be good it may be bad, but no longer does anyone think critically for themselves, or in general question things. I think the boots on th

So it appears that we now have a Global coalition tackling the Ukrainian problem and going after ISIS. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/05/nato-initiatives_n_5772404.html So we have that. I am sure predictably the talking heads will hate the plan. Out of curiosity I just checked FoxNews, and rather their top news story wasn't about the President's announcement, but rather a congressmen's assessment of the announcement and why it is wrong. And nowhere on the site could I find an actual news story presenting a story that stated in general terms, the president spoke, this is what

Stay observation: When you (general term not pointing at anyone directly) agree with a point of view you don't demand facts, but when it is someone brings up a point you disagree with you demand facts. The situation with ISIS is a mess. But it is a lot more nuanced than the talking heads and the people here present. We are not privy to the discussions with in the military and the President. But on the same token I don't believe we have them right where we want them either. A long time ago we have stopped giving politicians the benefit of doubt. We are so quick to rush to judgement and

But yet you feel it necessary to post in a thread devoted to the show. (slow clap) Quite a shame really it is a fun show, worth your while if you like scifi. I am looking forward to Saturday. This was posted on the Doctor Who Official Tumblr. I forgot how truly awesome it was. Should get you ready for Saturday.

I think it is important to label information from where comes from. I would be less inclined to use phrase like the Right if it what you are saying was not a widely held position by that group. Now I know you are not given talking points, but nearly everything you say is the same thing I have heard on FoxNews, Limbaugh, etc. You have claimed you don't watch FoxNews listen to Right Wing Radio, but I find that hard to believe. Nearly everything you post about the White House foreign policy seems like you are speechwriter for Ron Johnson or John McCain. And for any other issue I can't pretty

If you think Russia purposely shot down a civilian jet, I think discussion should be over and I will throw my hands up and say "I give up." Because that is just down right crazy. Did Russia contribute to the disaster? Of course, no is doubting that. They supplied the weapons, they encouraged the Separatists to act. Are the directly responsible? Hell No. Putin would be down right insane and stupid to do such a thing. This was a mistake by untrained Separatists, simple as that. Does that mean Russia should not be held accountable, no. But there is no directly link. And saying that

Well according to the White House there is no direct link to Russia and the downing of the MA17 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/22/malaysia-plane-crash_n_5611113.html But I want to get to your "solution" on what do about Putin and Russia in general. Are you not deliberately poking the bear here? Are you not emboldening Putin and backing the US in the corner? And the words you use are extremely vague, at what point is a disruption to the peace? Another plan shot down, invasion of Georgia (again), Putin uses the Russian military to capture a wombat form him to wrestle shirtle

I cannot believe that this is your honest answer, talk is cheap and it might cost very little. I am sorry but that is a complete bullshit answer. Nothing the US does is cheap. Hell it is going to cost us an extra 3.7 billion dollars just to figure out if some kids should deported or not (which BTW the House had said no on). If this is Cold War II and the huge problem that you claim it is, it will take money, to stop Putin talk will not do apparently, since this is what we have been doing since the crisis started. What galls me in this and many other foreign issues is that the Ri

How are we to pay for this? Why is deficit spending ok if we do it for the rest of the world but not for our own citizens?

I don't necessarily disagree (I do take issues with some of your particulars but that is besides the point). Right now we have a huge deficit, one you have mentioned as a huge problem in the past. And your "solution" to Cold War II is going to cost a lot of money. How can you justify spending billions/trillions of dollars and potentially send troops in harms way to protect Europe from Russia, when we have so many issues here at home? How do you propose to pay of all this? Drilling and fraking simply cannot ain't gonna pay for it all. We are still paying for two ill advised wars monetaril

Really kinda wished this stuff stayed unrecorded. Kinda lost the magic and its purpose. At least it is not just all Beck.

I see that as a slight to my Cubbies. There is always next year!
