Because she's going to be eating a lot of words.
I have to say, as a moderate/left leaning Democrat, I feel alot more at ease with a supposed moderate like Mccain getting the nomination as opposed to someone as extreme as Huckabee. Mccain and Obama or Clinton in the general doesn't really inspire the same kind of depression that the lose/lose Bush and Kerry election did.
72% means that nearly three quarters of the time the sexual promiscuity of the person was determined, not half. Also saying that half of the time is almost no better than a blind guess is making the assumption that exactly half of the pictures shown were of sexually promiscuous women.
Yet another reporter jumping on the bandwagon of portraying the GTA series as the next evil media despite the fact that it's a game that they'll never play.
Isn't this what everyone says? "It used to be better!" Hip hop used to be better, rock used to be better, classical used to be better.
Everything is better in retrospect (never go back and listen to that NWA album, it's not actually very good stuff).
Yuengling is a fantastic beer and I always miss it when I can't order it in restaurants when traveling.
I like how you assume that the reader is an armchair fan. Thanks for being incredibly bitter.
Susan, they take Mel Gibson seriously because he's a good director. As much as I hate the guy, Apocalypto was a fantastic piece of work.
I'm so glad to see my home state of Virginia go blue for the first time in my entire life (and for the first time since my parents moved to this state).
I'm especially proud of Montgomery County which was the only Southwest Virginia county to go blue, thanks to the students of Virginia Tech. Though I voted in Bedford county, I'm still very pleased to see my fellow students answering the call and putting this area over the edge.
Then I realized it was. Ron Moore put the George Lucas touch on his own creation. All of the writers working this season had woven in complex plot threads and many questions were going to be answered in the finale. Instead, Moore decides to give us an obscenely unbelievable ending for the characters and a preachy message about low quality Japanese robotics becoming Cylons in the near future. I'm trying to think how the ending could be any more trite.
But if I want to pay with a hundred, a place of business better be ready to give me change. Sometimes it's all you've got. Gotta break it somehow.
This really highlights the desperation the military is facing right now. The pressure on the military is intense and many of these problems would quickly find their way to the top of the stack if we were not involved in a major conflict. Keeping a fighting force in Iraq and Afganistan is the top priority right now and until our troops come home this problem will continue.
