Over half of all undecided voters are women. That's not a very damning statistic when you consider that over half of all voters are women. I think the breakdown is about 52/48 at the moment....

to hell with government by the people, voting and all that. Let's put some judges into office and let them rule for life... And if the people pass a law that says the police have the right to stop anyone in the street, search them for drugs, and lock them up for 30 years if they find even a tenth of a g

Can it already be time for another post about some of the writing mistakes people make? I guess it can.... Today it's all about homophones. No, that's not people who sound gay when they're calling long-distance. It's words that sound alike, but are spelled differently (and, I hope obviously, have different meanings). It's not that you spelled the word w

Reply to Where Do Love And Lust Seperate? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Love does not always involve a sacrifice, although I'm not surprised a pastor would tend to put it that way.... BlueDev said it well, I'll just rephrase it: Lust is "I want you to make me happy." Love is "I want to make you happy."

Reply to Voting in Arizona in Politics JoeUser Forums

What they should do for the longer-term ballot handling is put your ballot in a sealed envelope, then put that envelope inside another sealed envelope. The outer envelope then gets your name, address, etc. And the ballot-shredding?? I am astounded that that would be suggested, much less implemented. How can you do recounts?

“blog”? It sounds like something swollen and gelatinous (blob) or wet, smelly, and possibly full of long-preserved dead bodies (bog). Taken in the abstract, that's probably a pretty good description of many peoples' blogs... swollen (ego), poorly defined and rancid (thoughts), and full of things (ideas

Reply to How to make a Kerry voter into a Bush voter in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

today it (the national debt) is $7.5 Trillion. If you look at the OMB website, the Bush budget projection has the national debt at just short of $10 Trillion by the end of 2008 with a annual deficit of $1/4 trillion per year. COL Gene, those numbers don't add up. If it's $7.5T today, and it's growing a

Socialized Medicine WILL stymie research and development of cures.

Reply to The missing explosives mystery resolved? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Solitair, does that mean that liberals (including you, if applicable; sorry, I've lost track of a lot of peoples' affiliations) will admit that WMDs have finally been found in Iraq? However, I believe that (a) the explosives are "dual-use" items, usable either as explosives or as nuclear triggers, and (b) other forms of explosive could also be used to trigger nuclear devices. These are better for that purpose than most explosives, but a

Reply to Pun Intended in Humor JoeUser Forums

I'll just mention that posting the lyrics to "Wet Dream" by Kip Adotta should be off-bounds for the porpoise of this competition.... Compared to that, everyone else would be way out of their depth. Though (off-topic, I know) this does put me in mind of a little rhyme by some well-known 17th or 18th century author whose name I can't recall: If ever I were punishéd For every little pun I shed I'd hie me to a puny shed And there I

Yeah, the javascript-based editor doesn't seem to actually DO anything when you click on the little buttons. It pops up the little windows when appropriate but it never inserts the codes into your message. Of course I just type HTML directly into my text, so I never notice it either. I like FireFox, with a few extra pieces from MozDev to make it even more kick-ass: Adblock (filters pop-ups and pointless ad images) Mouse Gestures (let

I think I've seen it elsewhere, but I will nevertheless point out here that 200 to 300 tons of explosives sounds like a great big load of crap that makes a HUGE difference in one side's ability to wage war and by obvious implication it should have been carefully managed. However, over 400,000 tons of munitions have been found and processed. That's Four Hundred Thousand Tons. So while in our own little frame of reference, 200 or 300 tons may sound

1/ Ancestry: Rather indeterminate, although most probably involving some Scots and English. 2/ Lost: a roll of film. (Found it in my coat pocket a week later.) 3/ Vacation: I took a sick day Tuesday... does that count? 4/ Dream: the main bit that I recall from anything recent was following Krystal around as she was a teenager, wandering about a building. 5/ Song: Lump, because I just read some amusing parody lyrics on Groklaw.
