  1. Kennedy is known for playing devil's advocate and asking tough questions. I wouldn't put too much stock into his actions today.
  2. For whatever reason, people aren't watching soccer on TV. The few matches that Fox showed on Sunday morning got good ratings, but cable tells a different story. I didn't make the argument that its the 2nd most popular sport, I just linked the article showing it was 2nd among that demographic.
  3. Listen, you people can argue all day about who the deficit belongs to, but I will correct this little tidbit. The Senate was still split 59-40 until Franken was certified the winner in Minnesota in December 2009 if I remember correctly. Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy's old seat in January of 2010. Not only that, but unless you've got 100 Senators on your side, the rules of the Senate are so quirky that in some cases any 1 Senator can put a hold on a bill in so many ways. To say Obama had a filibuster proof majority is technically correct, but it was nowhere close to 2 years.
  4. And its absolutely trippy for me to even comprehend that. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthvideo/9168817/James-Camerons-first-footage-from-the-deep.html
  5. You can still feel guilty without feeling like you did something wrong. They're not mutually exclusive terms. If a supervisor fires an otherwise superior employee for minor theft, or a white lie, they might feel guilty for doing it even though they can justify their actions. EDIT: A friend of Zimmerman claimed that he cried for days about taking Martin's life, but the issue at hand isn't whether or not he felt guilty, rather whether he's guilty of a crime.
  6. Depends on where you're living for the average cost, but its the 2nd most popular sport in the country after the NFL among 12-24 year olds. These old farts still think its cool to make fun of it though. Hilarious. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-black/soccer-popularity_b_1328136.html
  7. Larger arenas or not, they still outdraw both. So much for a sport that no one watches, eh?
  8. That was it. HEY LOOK UNT90 I JUST ADMITTED MY MISTAKE!
  9. I'm so glad I have you around to explain to me what I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. God bless you Dr. Freud. The original investigations weren't very thorough, actually. I'll accept it in as much as that's the findings, but with the assumption that not all the questions are answered because the only other true witness is dead. I "accept" that OJ was found not guilty, I don't accept that he didn't kill his ex-wife. Once again, instead of doing anything to strengthen your argument you try to patronize mine.
  10. He wasn't "just doing his job". His "job" was neighborhood watch, not neighborhood bully, or neighborhood security. Its as clear as mud on the 9-1-1 tapes. So is perceiving a black kid minding his own business to be some sort of criminal, pursuing him, getting your ass kicked and then using that as justification to shoot him dead. AND CROWD THY GOOD WITH BROTHERHOOD, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!!
  11. Well, its obvious he was racist. That doesn't need to be painted by any media narrative. But whether Trayvon was an honor student or not, matters little when you're boiling it down to "does this incident fall under self-defense or not"? Gold-toothed wanna-be thugs are just as entitled to justice as clean cut graduate students.
  12. Again, why does the picture the media uses matter one bit in what happened that night?
  13. Domestic oil production is up under Obama, whether he can "take credit" for it or not, he can't take any blame for some false narrative that his administration does everything in its power to stop domestic drilling. So whats your hard-on for drilling on federal land anyways?
  14. I read somewheres that the pictures & twitter accounts were not his, but originated from stormfront. Perhaps I'm confusing it with something else involved in this case though.
  15. MLS outdraws the NBA and NHL. Sorry I just killed your anti-soccer boner.
  16. Silver lining is that Brek Shea will be with FC Dallas for many more matches now. We need him badly too.
  17. Not his account. Congrats on taking the bait from Stormfront though.
  18. Their past decisions regarding the reach of the commerce clause. Of course, it was a surprise to many how the court ruled on Citizens United case, so who the hell knows.
  19. In Oregon its completely mail-in ballots. There's not widespread fraud that I'm aware of.
  20. Gonna go ahead and make a bold prediction: The Supreme Court will not only uphold the law, but will do so with more than a 5-4 votes, ala 6-3 or 7-2.
  21. Yeah I posted a similar youtube video with that as well. He said balloons, not coons. You're just hearing things...
  22. Please, tell me how Bush & Cheney were behind 9/11 too.
  23. Nope. Both of those statements were made in the context of Zimmerman being the one screaming.
  24. Like I said in another thread, don't chase down and provoke someone minding his own business, and you wouldn't be getting your ass kicked in the first place.
  25. Want to keep your ass from getting kicked? Don't chase down someone minding his own business and provoke them.
