Kate Walsh is such a beautiful woman, too bad she ruined the effect wearing that hideous dress.

Ok, so maybe I'm just a complete asshole, but I just love when people get burned buying things like that. The only thing that I find more humorous is people getting screwed buying knock off comic books.

Naw, Republicans never have affairs.

Well... they do, but usually not with women.

Yeah, it's true, Obama sadly is increasing the possibility of ending up a single-term, lame duck, president. And unfortunately it's his own fault.

In his desire to have a Bi-Partisan government, he didn't push the Supermajority, to ramrod through all of the things he promised. Doing so would have angered the right wing, big deal, the right is never going to be happy about anything the left does. But, not using their collective supremacy has disappointed the left.

Only time will tell. But should next years elections see the left's congressional majority disappear, I think we'll have a good indicator of how 2012 will go. My worry is that the RNC will run Palin against Obama, and we'll end up with someone too stupid to even be a Fox News host running this country.

*edit* Whoops, double post.

They need to feed them both to the Rancor.

Conan stopped being funny after the move, and Jay was never funny.

They need to let Conan go back to doing his oddball humor, and not force him to dumb down his show to make it suitable for the geezers that used to watch Jay.

And if Jay wants to have a show, let him do something where he'd be genuinely interesting and let him host an American Top Gear.

They're whaling in waters where they're not supposed to be. It's not up to the Japanese government because they're outside their legal jurisdiction. They're poaching animals in international waters, or in US waters.
Does that change your ridiculous logical fallacy at all?


The thing is, what the Japanese are doing isn't considered by any government to be "whaling". They may very well be exploiting a flaw in the system that allows them to kill in the name of "research" but they're are well within their rights and the rules of the system to be doing so. The way to stop them is to correct the flaw in the system. But the Sea Shepard Society doesn't want to do that, they want to play pirate, they want to be a spectacle, because it gets them more publicity and more money. "Captain" Watson is a lunatic and an egomaniac. All he cares about is getting his name in the news, no matter who's lives he might be risking. Personally, I couldn't care less about the idiots that join his crews, frozen and drowned trust-fund idiots are at least sparing the gene pool their pompous idiot offspring, but they endanger the crews of the "research" vessels who are just people trying to make a living.

This is an OLED technology demo, this is not a omen of annoying see through screens.


And that's a very good thing, because that looks like ASS.

It really looks like they stripped a display down to only the screen and led membrane, then turned the contrast up to about 9000%.

Yeah it's almost as ridiculous as some people getting their panties in a bunch about little kids saying "fuckin'". >> ^Aniatario:
Really puts things in perspective, people are so quick to defend their gaming consoles, their clothes, their computers. It's all so childish, why defend someone/something that's just after your money?

The camera movement is a clue, but the front wheels are a dead giveaway.

Awesome R/Cs though.

I don't give a f^ck what your political bent is. You can't ram a ship in the middle of the ocean. They will be able to buy twenty of those little boats after the lawyers get done with them. WTF

Apparently you've never driven a boat before. One of the most basic rules is that the largest ship ALWAYS has the right of way. The reason is fundamental physics, the larger the ship, the more momentum it has meaning stopping or turning it is going to take much longer. A small boat like the one here doesn't get by hit a large ship like this unless it gets too close ON PURPOSE.
A boat that much smaller could literally run circles around the larger ship all day long and no matter how hard the larger ship tried it could never ram the smaller boat, it's just too slow and unwieldy by comparison.


Actually, if you watch this footage and the footage from the Bob Barker closely you'll see two things occur: in the video from the Shonan Maru, you'll see the water at the back of the Ady Gil churn just before the impact; and in the video from the Bob Barker, you'll see the bow of the Ady Gil lurch out of the water and move forward a bit.

Now I'm not a marine expert but I can tell you from the fair amount of boating I've done, both of those factors imply that the Gil throttled up just before being hit. My take is that they wanted to be hit and moved the boat into position to be struck.

Also the Ady Gil, formerly Earth Race, was designed as a highspeed craft, so it's very likely that even at "idle speed" it moves through the water with some vigor.

The footage from the Barker is also rather deceptive, because it appears to show the Shonan Maru turning toward the Ady Gil, but what is actually being seen is the camera angle change as the Barker sails forward and pans the camera to the right of the scene. You can tell this is what is occurring because the Gil's profile changes as well.

I'm usually very lenient with my opinions of movies, I'll watch anything that flickers and usually like it. But I carry a single caveat with that, if the movie is amazing yet then goes spinning off to orbit planet "WTF?", then it most certainly loses any and all points for the awesome part. My reasoning is that if I can see that they've gone right off the rails, then the professional "filmmakers" should have seen it too.

With "Sunshine" it has all the traits of a gripping psychological thriller about how confinement and loneliness can effect the passengers of a spacecraft. Yet just when it is building to a unbelievably tense climax, it turns left and races head long toward the Ron Paul Nebula and crashes into the heart of the bat-shit crazy red super giant star. The entire plot line of the religious lunacy of Capt. Pinpacker should have been excluded entirely.

For some reason I have a serious hankering for some Cactus soup right now.

^ Maybe if he had he'd have been able to take down that ruddy orc that blew up the wall of Helms Deep.

I've been having difficulty trying to decide if Republican talking heads are mentally deficient enough to be sincere about the garbage they spew, or if they know they're full of shit and are just playing to the ignorant fools that vote for them.
