I too would like to see an end to demonization, in this thread, on this board and in the world. The tendency to demonize isn't linked, really, to any one ideology - it's more of a personality thing, or a cynical choice to push certain buttons to achieve a political aim.

That is really nice that they have a hole to make the passing of the TP back and forth that much easier.

Happy birthday from me, Dziga and Gorman!

Does it get better after those 30 seconds? I suppose it's possible, but it has been my experience that if I don't like a song within that time frame, it's hard to reverse my opinion. It's OK, though. I am reasonably sure Chris Martin does not give one shit about what I think of his band and if he does, Gwyneth can give him a hug.

Utilitarianism vs. deontology.

OMG. I heard that snippet and I could not believe how crappy it sounded. Like dishwater hit with a Boring Ray. Normally, I would be content to leave Coldplay alone. But they are so heavily marketed and foisted upon all comers at every turn that I take them as a personal affront, like when someone walks into your yard, pulls down their pants and takes a shit on your lawn. Actually, that would be a lot more interesting than a Coldplay album.

Wait, so same-sex couples can always get abortions, or never? For whatever reason, marriage has always been seen as a stabilizing force in society, so expanding the franchise to same-sex couples would presumably lead to more stability, no?

Spain I think is going to win Euro 2008.

I think those are probably pretty rare in same-sex couples, but hey, a few drinks and irresponsible baster use, and things can happen.

Rule 1: It has to not suck. Coldplay, in my personal opinion, has a hard time with that.

Coldplay: "We'll Try and Copy Anyone" Today 7:05 PM PDT Whoops. Just as his band is accused of ripping off someone else's song, Coldplay's Chris Martin says in an interview that he and his bandmates are "the world's worst

As that was a Journal Register Co. paper, you are lucky you didn't take a job there.

Creepy, yes. GREAT headline material? Yes, yes.

I don't think anyone can really predict, but I would hazard a guess that they will finish about three or so games over or under .500.

I would get up early to watch that.

I have maintained Willie should have been fired since last October, but this was handled in a deeply shameful and amateurish fashion, so I am not that happy of a camper. At least the suspense is over, and everyone can move on with their lives now.

I think a "Newscaster Girlfriend" thread is much better than bitching about Fox News.

No, MSNBC does, and her name is Monica Novotny.

"constant bickering"

Yes.

Hopefully, my untimely death will highlight the importance of fornicating while one can.

Yes. Those Mets ones were awful.
