Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
It was either Philly, or Calcutta.
he's going to new orleans?
Thankfully you are far enough outside the city because the city is Philadelphia.
Not even close to those countries - this is America, we don't give a shit. Germany has taken in 450,000 refugees and they have 80 million people. American has agreed to 10,000 (and that's not even Trump madness) and we have 320 million people. We're not even close Germany in humanitarian response to this crisis. Their football teams held parties for their arrival - do you think any American sports fans or the large base of fake Christians would do the same - they haven't so far for the Mexicans in decades.stevew said:
Ted Cruz on supporting Chief Justice John Roberts' nomination: "That was a mistake and I regret that."
That bumps Roberts up a few notches in my eyes

Watched a few minutes of the GOP debate, and wow, one of those clowns could be the next president. Scary.
ooohhhh i picked a feisty gerbil tonight
That was quite the spectacle. Shame on CNN for encouraging so much mud slinging. I was just waiting for Jeb Bush to strangle Trump. This was good too:
encouraging? they were just letting the GOP show their true colors.
They were absolutely encouraging the candidates to go after each other. So many of the questions were framed in a way that asked candidates to criticize each others' positions on the issues rather than address the issues themselves. Lots of "So-and-so here on stage said this about you ...."
Jake Tapper even flat out said he wanted the candidates to attack each other.
It was an unmitigated shit show in my salty ass opinion.
disclosure: i didn't watch it.
that being said. they knew the GOP would take the bait. so they trollllolololollled.
The Republican base is primarily looking for the person who will be the biggest dick to people they don't like. It that regard, the debate questions were quite relevant. Even if given a chance you wouldn't get actual plans. It's all about the dick swinging.
I'm not surprised that an electorate that most likely can't even spell "nuance", aren't interested in it.
Good point.
Carly, ftw?
I bet shes got a bigger dick than Scott Walker.
Not gonna lie, if Caitlyn Fiorana threw an Olympic javelin through Trump, I'd vote for "herim".

You know, I'm pretty sure this guy might actually (as scary as this thought is) be a worse choice than Chump.

That boy has bats in his belfry.
I don't believe for one second that Carson believes any of the idiotic anti-science crap he's spewing. No way a neurosurgeon thinks like that. He's just channeling his inner Trump and telling the bible thumping, mouth breathers what they want to hear.
You give him far too much credit. Kowtowing to the baby jeebus and neurosurgery are not mutually exclusive, and all his viewpoints seem to stem from the former.
It would be interesting to hear from those that have worked with him or know him personally if he spoke like that prior to entering the race.
Given that he reportedly passed a chemistry test during undergrad thanks to the steering hand of the same baby jeebus, he's always been a wacko.

I'd personally like to know exactly how much affirmative action helped him get into Yale undergrad and then to med school thereafter. (Then again, Kerry and Bush were legacy admissions idiots. Where are the qualified, non-crazy atheist candidates? Oh yeah, not entering because the demographics of the country would mean they'd be unelectable.)
Albeit limited, my experience with neurosurgeons leads me to think they are an egomaniacle bunch, fairly removed from reality.
I don't know man. I was surrounded by premeds in my undergrad biochem degree. I FULLY believe that nutjob made it though med school. There's aptitude and there's reflection. Most of any kind of school only requires the former.
And I was surrounded by plenty of people who thought electron spin numbers were proof of gawd's awesomeness.
