I am probably in the minority, but I am a little underwhelmed by the single. It is kinda a mess and lacks flow. Maybe it is a grower. Still looking forward to the album and tour.

Pat and Ron (Cubs radio team) were talking about the time Zimmer called for a triple steal the other day. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1893&dat=19840611&id=5rUfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=htcEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3343,4205168 It would have been wild to see.

My guess it will be the newly reunited Land Ho! A possible warm gig prior to the Unity Festival?

I went on vacation and then realized it wasn't worth it. Kinda like this whole board right now.

It what way could campaign finance reform be implemented? SCOTUS has simply stated that money is speech. Any person or corporation can use their money for any candidate or political purpose. In this day it is always the candidate with the most money wins. Personally we need to take all money out of politics and publicly finance elections. 7 Billion dollars were spent in the 2012 election cycle. Just think what could be done with 7 billion dollars.

What about my political POV? I am no millionaire, I am unable to give nearly as much money as say Sheldon Adelson, the Koch Brothers, or George Soros. So I can't get promote a candidate with my views. Just because the rich have the money they are able push their candidates and the agendas they want. It is a general rule in elections that the candidate with the most money usually wins. Unlimited contributions gives a huge unbalance of power to the wealthy at the expense of the common person. My, and 99% of American's voice in the election process has been severely limited. BTW this no

Well it looks like our political system is in the hands of the super rich, now more than ever. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/03/us/politics/supreme-court-ruling-on-campaign-contributions.html?hpw&rref=politics&_r=0 I find this statement from Chief Justice Robert's decision most ironic. "There is no right in our democracy more basic, than the right to participate in electing our political leaders." Sure we have the right to vote, but we are now voting for those that the very rich few allow to be put on the ballot in the first place. We are barreling towards an Oligarchy. M

Clearly this person is mentally ill. I know it is funny to laugh at, but honestly I hope this person seeks and gets the help they so desperately need.

well it was really stupid.

Apparently you never saw the Dexter finale. Lost was in no way perfect, but it certainly wasn't as bad as you make it out.

Prolly my most random in NL. Though for some reason and I have no basis I just like the Phillies this year. It really is all kinds of random this year for me. Especially in the AL, being an NL guy.

If we continue to be anti drone then we will end up with a Robocop (the reboot) scenerio and no one wants that.

Interesting to watch the Supreme Court with the Hobby Lobby birth control fight. On one hand I feel there is no way a company should can dictate what health services a person can get. On the other hand I suppose truly they are not they are just refusing to pay for it. I think the inclusion of birth control in ACA was a misstep to begin with, but I can see why they put it in. My fear is if the SCOTUS sides with the corporations it could lead to a slippery slope and open up the denial of all kinds services based upon "religion" of the company or its shareholders. Would this allow compani

I think that is the mainstream GOP's fear too. I wonder if that is why they are so keen on voter suppression efforts. It is funny hear in Wisconsin our esteemed governor said he would call a special session of the legislature to fix and pass a new voter ID law. http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/on-politics/gov-scott-walker-says-he-would-call-voter-id-special/article_eae13580-d18e-5175-9584-56cd7bc33380.html Regardless of what you think of the merits of the law (we have had that debate before), it seems odd that a special session would need to be called to get this law i

But remember apparently they are controlled by the moderate right.
-
Boehner although moderate is responsible for bringing bills to the floor of the house, and looking at his tenure the bills he has brought are overwhelming conservative. But that again is the nature of the position.
-
So the Representatives in the 113th Congress were overwhelmingly controlled by the far right. Per the Congress Scorecard on That's My Congress 213 members (a close majority) are considered either very conservative or redding conservative, whereas those in the middle are only number 122 and those that skew liberal number 99. It is easy to see by the numbers that right or far right dominate the house right now. So I suppose both of us could say otherwise, but I actually have evidence that supports my statement. This is also seen in the how moderate Republicans have been targeted by TEA part

I did work for a very conservative Senator in DC in the late 90's. But like I said before it was cool, like mr. small jacket and big glasses man. I mean I surprised they didn't have him with a sixer of PBR tall boys, on his way to kickball league.
-
I was a Republican before it was cool Most political ads are generally tone deaf and pandering, but really this takes the cake. It is good to know that you are Republican because you support the exact same energy policy of the White House.

Yeah I apparently got my murder victims mixed up. Errol Childress responsible for Dora Lange. Tuttle responsible for Marie Fontenot. The Dora Lange murders which was the impetus of the show were the sole product of a mentally ill person. As far as the show the Marie Fontenot murder was never solved.
-
I am not sure. Errol Childress was the bastard son of Tuttle. Whom Tuttle abused and disfigured and used in his his ritualistic cult activities. The Marie Fontenot murder was a product of Errol and him alone. It was because of what he experienced he did the murder in a ritualistic way. But I don't think it was part of the Tuttle cult. Think about it. You really want this dirt ball bastard son working with you in your ritualistic cult? Tuttle hated him so much he melted his face. The Tuttle cult is tangential to the Marie Fontenot murder. Sure they wished they could have gotten Tut
-
Tuttle was only tangentially involved in the murders that Rust and Marty were investigating. Lawnmower / spaghetti man was abused by Tuttle and was a factor in his mental illness. But the murders themselves were not a cult sacrifice. It was the product of mental illness.
-
I honestly liked how real it was. Fans were speculating all over the place, seeing more then was there. The whole thing came to a mentally ill individual. Not a mystic cult, not space aliens, not a cosmic interconnectedness of all things. A simple normal answer. That is the way real life is. It was fantastic.

Why do you hate the two state solution?
