Would you even extend that to shoes?

Feel sorry for those goobers but it does remind me that I always somehow resent anybody in an animal costume approaching me in public. What will turn out to be their motive?

Apres nous, le deluge...

Speaking out of pure ignorance I was thinking the same thing. In particular, that the dynamic content management going on here on the forums would seem to be a different computational burden and code situation than serving up static content on porn sites.

After Casting Key Fifth Vote For Bush, Justice O’Connor Now Regrets Bush v. Gore By Ian Millhiser on Apr 29, 2013 at 9:00 am Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the conservative retired justice who provided the fifth vote to install George W. Bush as president, is now having second thoughts about that decision: Looking back, O’Connor said, she isn’t sure the high court should have taken [Bush v. Gore]. “It took the case and decided it at a time when it was still a big election issue,” O’Connor said during a talk Friday with the Tribune editorial board. “Maybe the court should have said, ‘We’re not going to take it, goodbye.’” The case, she said, “stirred up the public” and “gave the court a less-than-perfect reputation.” “Obviously the court did reach a decision and thought it had to reach a decision,” she said. “It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn’t done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day.“ If nothing else, Bush v. Gore demonstrates how justices who are determined to reach a certain result are capable of bending both the law and their own prior jurisprudence in order to achieve it. In Bush, the five conservative justices held, in the words of Harvard’s Larry Tribe, that “equal protection of the laws required giving no protection of the laws to the thousands of still uncounted ballots.” The Court’s decision to hand the presidency to Bush stunned many legal observers, some of whom were O’Connor’s fellow justices. Retired Justice John Paul Stevens once recounted a story where he ran into fellow Justice Stephen Breyer at a party while a relatively early phase of the case was pending before the Court. According to Stevens, “[w]e agreed that the application was frivolous.” Indeed, Bush’s own lawyers were skeptical of the legal theory that ultimately made up the basis of the Court’s decision in Bush. As Ben Ginsberg, a top lawyer on Bush’s presidential campaign, explained in 2006, “just like really with the Voting Rights Act, Republicans have some fundamental philosophical difficulties with the whole notion of Equal Protection.” And, yet, O’Connor and four of her fellow Republicans joined together to embrace a particularly aggressive reading of Equal Protection — at least so long as it could put George W. Bush in the White House. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/04/29/1931821/after-casting-key-fifth-vote-for-bush-justice-oconnor-now-regrets-bush-v-gore/?mobile=nc

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

So my high school girlfriend had a crush on John Cleese, and said I reminded her of him. Meanwhile I had a crush on her younger brother, so I suppose it all balanced out one way or another.

You know all British males are really gay, right?

My experience over the last few minutes has been the same as FourAces reports just now. Seems to randomly flick from fast to slooooow to fast and back again.

The skit from last night's White House Correspondents Dinner wasn't too bad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SCk-Z4ekLSc

What do you think? (See also post below. )

Sickos.

A few minutes ago I was clicking in and out of threads with no problem. But just now, clicking on this thread title from the "New Content" thread roster, the site took about 50 seconds to let me into this thread. Likewise, when I clicked the Notification button a few moments ago, it took about 45 seconds to display a new Notification. This is on my Win7/FF laptop.

Yes!! Another nominee -- "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls," scripted by of all people Roger Ebert. Best line in that one: "You will drink the black sperm of my vengeance!"

Like hito, I usually get good site performance when using my iPhone 4S/Safari. But on my Win7 laptop using FireFox I have the same site lag/hangup troubles as reported by others above.

SORRY! My mistaken memory. Somebody came out recently but not one of these guys. When I find it I'll post.

Is that the one who recently came out?

Another not-altogether-a-joke...
