Goof: When Joey puts the bag of groceries beside the fridge, it falls over. Afterward, whenever the camera angle changes, the bag alternates between standing up and lying down throughout the scene.
Continuity: When Joey and Chandler meet Ronni in the hall for the first time we see a radiator next to their door. This radiator is absent in later episodes.
Continuity: Joey's dad seems surprised things are wrong between Ross and his wife. However, when Joey first meets Ross in "The One with the Flashback" Ross is depressed that his wife's a lesbian. In other words, Ross's marriage hasn't been going well the entire time Joey has known Ross.
Trivia: In this episode we learn that Joey is really Joey Jr.
Continuity: Phoebe uses the intercom and has Monica buzz her in the building. Any other time she and Ross just come right in, and in the very last episode of the series the entire gang has their own key.
Trivia: In this episode, Joey's mother refers to him as "Cookie", although this is also the name of one of his sisters (which is revealed in season 3). Is "Cookie" just her nickname in the family or is it her real name?
Trivia: This is the first episode where Chandler tells the gang about his father. We know now that he is dressed as a woman following younger men.
Joey: Okay, now this is just for tonight. Starting tomorrow, you better make a change. Six years is long enough.
Mr. Tribbiani: What kind of change?
Joey: Either you break it off with Ronni--
Mr. Tribbiani: I can't do that.
Joey: Then you gotta come clean with Ma! This is not right! (Mr. Tribbiani tries to interrupt.) I don't wanna hear it! Now go to my room!
Rachel: Okay, okay, can we change the subject, please?
Phoebe: (Gesturing to Rachel's chest) Yeah, you know, these aren't her "boobies." These are her breasts.
Rachel: Okay Pheebs, I was hoping for more of a change.
Monica: I always liked "Bazoombas." Kind of gives them a Latin spin.
Rachel: Can we drop this already, please?
Chandler: I don't know why you are so embarrassed. They were very nice boobies.
Rachel: "Nice?" They were "nice?" I mean, that's it? I mean, mittens are "nice."
Phoebe: Honey, tell them the story about your patient who thinks things are like other things. You know? Like when the phone rings and she takes a shower.
Roger: That's pretty much it.
Phoebe: Oops.
Roger: But you tell it really well, sweetie.
Phoebe: Okay. Now go away so we can talk about you.
Phoebe: Oh oh! Roger's having a dinner thing and he wanted me to invite you guys. (Chandler laughs) So what's going on?
Monica: Nothing, um, it's just, um... It's Roger.
Ross: I dunno, there's just something about...
Chandler: Basically we just feel that he's...
Rachel: We hate that guy.
All: Yeah. Hate him.
Ross: We're sorry, Pheebs, we're sorry.
Phoebe: Uh-huh. Okay. Okay, don't you think, maybe, though, it's just that he's so perceptive that it freaks you out?
All: ...No, we hate him.
Chandler: Come on, I'll show you to my room... That sounds so weird when it's not followed by "No thanks, it's late."
Monica: (Fighting with Ross about what Roger said) Ya know, all these years, I thought you were on my side. But maybe what you were doing was sucking up to Mom and Dad so they'd keep liking you better!
Ross: Hey, I married a lesbian to make you look good!
Mr. Tribbiani: Joe, your dad's in love big time. And the worst part of it is, it's with two different women.
Joey: Oh man. Please tell me one of them is Ma.
Mr. Tribbiani: Remember when you were a little kid, I used to take you to the navy yard and show you the big ships?
Joey: Since then?!
Mr. Tribbiani: No, it's only been six years. I just wanted to put a nice memory in your head so you'd know that I wasn't always such a terrible guy.
Rachel: Any of you guys want anything else?
Chandler: Oh, yes, could I have one of those--
Rachel: No, I'm sorry, we're all out of those. Anybody else?
Phoebe: (About Roger) I know, I know. So sweet... and so complicated. And for a shrink, he's not too shrinky, ya know?
Monica: So, you think you'll do it on his couch?
Phoebe: Oh, I don't know, I don't know. I think that's a little weird, ya know? Vinyl.
Ross: What were you doing seeing her boobies?
Chandler: It was an accident. It's not like I was across the street with a telescope and a box of doughnuts.
Rachel: You were supposed to be in there so I could see your thing.
Chandler: Sorry, my thing was in there with me.
Chandler: I'd like to believe that when the right woman comes along, you will have the courage and the guts to say "No thanks, I'm married."
Joey: I can't sleep with my underwear on.
Chandler: Well you're gonna!
Joey: (To his father on sleeping with his girlfriend) I don't care how old you are, as long as you're under my roof you're gonna live by my rules. And that means no sleeping with your girlfriend. Now go to my room!
Phoebe: Hey, Joey. What's going on?
Joey: Clear the tracks for the boobie payback express. Next stop: Rachel Green. (He goes into the bathroom. We hear a scream and he comes out, closely followed by Monica in a towel)
Monica: Joey!! What the hell were you doing?!
Joey: Sorry. Wrong boobies.
Roger: Listen guys, it was great seeing you again. Mon, um, easy on those cookies, okay? Remember, they're just food, they're not love.
Rachel: (Angry) What?
Chandler: (To Rachel) That's a relatively open weave and I can still see your... nippular area.
Rachel: Tit for tat.
Chandler: Well I'm not showing you my tat.
Chandler: If I turn into my parents, I'll either be an alcoholic blond chasing after 20 year old boys or... I'll end up like my mom.
Chandler: You know, I don't know why you're so embarrassed. They were very nice boobies.
Rachel: Nice? They were nice? I mean, that's it? I mean, mittens are nice.
Chandler: (Illustrating) Okay. Rock. Hard place. Me.
International Episode Title:
Czech Republic: Bobule (Berry)
Robert Costanzo, who played Joseph Tribbiani Sr., was the only guest character to ever appear on the spin-off show Joey. He appeared in the episode "Joey And The Dad".
Brenda Vaccaro received the "And" credit.
This episode runs 23:36 on DVD (a typical sitcom runs about 22:00).
Gloria: Look, honey, in an ideal world, there would be no her, and your father would look like Sting.
Sting is an English singer and bass player, famous for headlining The Police, a late 1970s and 1980s rock band, but has since gone on to a solo career.
Gloria: Of course I knew. What do you think? Your father is no James Bond.
James Bond 007 is a fictional British agent created in 1952 by writer Ian Fleming. Bond is featured in twelve novels and is arguably the most famous & most recognizable fictional character ever due to the unparalleled success of his 21 films (1962-2006).
Rachel: You're right. I mean you're right. It wasn't just the Weebles, but it was the Weeble play palace, and the Weebles cruise ship. Oh which had this little life boat for the Weebles to wobble in.
Weebles are a line of children's toys from Playskool. Shaped like eggs with a weight at the bottom, they wobble when pushed, but never fall completely over, hence the name. A wide range of accessories were available for the Weebles including vehicles, buildings and furniture.
Chandler: Things sure have changed here on Walton's Mountain.
Walton's Mountain is the name of a fictional town in Virginia which was the setting for the American television show, The Waltons.

Endocyte, Inc. (Endocyte) is a biopharmaceutical company. The Company is engaged in developing therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Endocyte uses its technology to create small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs), and companion imaging diagnostics. Its SMDCs target receptors that are over-expressed on diseased cells, primarily to healthy cells. The Company's SMDCs consists of three modules: a targeting ligand, a linker and a drug payload. The foundation of its technology is its small molecule targeting ligands, which bind to over-expressed receptors on target cells, while avoiding healthy cells. It is developing a number of different targeting ligands for a range of cancers and inflammatory diseases. Its linker system attaches the targeting ligand to the drug payload. The drug payload is the biologically active component of its SMDCs. Endocyte's core SMDC, EC145, targets the folate receptor...

Old circuit boards can be recycled through a process that separates toxic heavy metals from polychlorinated biphenyl, leaving behind a fine, metal-free powder that can be added to virgin polymer to make asphalt modifier.
What's more, the recycled polymers are just as effective as virgin polymers.
"The nonmetals consist of thermosetting polymers, fiberglass, brominated flame retardants, and other additives," says the report from two universities in Shanghai. "Thermosetting polymers cannot be re-melted or reformed because of their network structure," which makes them strong additives.
The report goes on to note that "the use of waste polymers as asphalt modifiers is considered a rather new and interesting way of modification because it involves two important aspects: waste material utilization and asphalt property enhancement. In our previous research, the nonmetals were reused as reinforcing fillers...proving that the nonmetals can be a good filler for different polymer matrixes."
In 2007 Americans threw out 2.2 million tons of electronics. Nearly threequarters of heavy metals found in landfills are from such waste, and more than 70% of a circuit board is plastic.

Tuolumne County is moving forward with a new program that will allow online streaming for public meetings — but not without some protest from a representative of a local media provider. The board on Tuesday approved a contract with Granicus Inc. for software and hardware that will allow the board to stream future and past meetings on the Internet. Under the agreement, unanimously approved Tuesday as part of the consent agenda, the county will pay the San Francisco-based audio-video company a one-time fee of $8,825 for the equipment, program installation, training and system configuration. The county will also pay $1,169 monthly for maintenance and web hosting charges, according to the agreement. Supervisors' meetings are currently streamed online by a local radio station as well as played cable access. And George Segarini, a member of the local cable access network's board, questioned why the cable station couldn't handle the streaming duties. Segarini, who is also executive director of the Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce, said Cable 8 could offer what he described as comparable services for cheaper. He said local cable representatives contacted the county, offering online streaming for $4,200 per year and on-demand program services for an additional $2,700 a year. Segarini also said the cable network would cover the cost of equipment under a streaming agreement. "I still think the local folks here can provide you as good if not better presentation than what you're voting on today," he said. However, both County Administrator Craig Pedro and Deputy Administrator Daniel Richardson said the two offers are not "apples to apples" comparisons. The Granicus program offers online agenda management, meeting minutes functions and other options on the platform that Cable 8 does not. "Their product cannot do the whole suite," Richardson said. Richardson also said it's still possible for the county to use both services simultaneously. According to its website, Granicus Inc., founded in 1999, has 367,608 archived webcasts streaming from 906 government agencies. This is the second time this year that a local company was beat out for a contract involving online-related services. In March, Mother Lode Internet asked to be considered over Comcast for high-speed Internet services for the county. The five-year contract, which totalled $120,000, was eventually awarded to Comcast, one of the nation's largest video, high-speed Internet and phone providers. In other action, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors: • Voted to waive all building and safety fees for Parrotts Ferry Village, a low-income housing project being completed by Habitat for Humanity of Tuolumne County. Work on the 35-unit project on Parrotts Ferry Road is under way, with four completed so far. The waiver is expected to save the affordable housing organization about $56,500. The board voted 4-0, with Randy Hanvelt recusing himself due to connections with the organization. • Approved a letter to the California State Water Resources Control Board on the lake level at Pinecrest. In the letter, the board asks the state board to give Tuolumne Utilities District and PG&E more flexibility on how low they can draw the lake during dry years. The board recently set a minimum 5,608-foot water line elevation at the popular reservoir, which is also the main water supply for TUD. The utility is seeking more flexibility to draw it lower in dry years, with TUD officials also saying the restriction will create unnecessary water shortages in the future. Environmental and recreation advocates are calling on the state to keep the level as it is and for TUD to conserve more water. |

Titan Up Front
Titan Up Front December 22, 2011 |
Full-Res: PIA14909 |
The colorful globe of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, passes in front of the planet and its rings in this true color snapshot from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The north polar hood can be seen on Titan (3,200 miles or 5,150 kilometers across) and appears as a detached layer at the top of the moon here. See Haze Layers on Titan and Titan's Hazes to learn more about Titan's atmosphere and the north polar hood. This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ring plane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 21, 2011, at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Titan. Image scale is 9 miles (14 kilometers) per pixel on Titan. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Sharath S. Srivatsa
Pachyderms being familiarised with sound of cannon fire, Jamboo Savari route and palace premises
The elephants have been brought from various camps located around Mysore Balarama has participated in 12 Dasara processions, of which it has carried the howdah six times
MYSORE: Far away from the familiar terrain in their forest abode, these gentle giants are familiarising the thoroughfares of the concrete jungle in the City of Palaces.
For, in less than a month's time, they would be the cynosure of all eyes carrying out an important assignment that befalls on them year after year. And which they have been executing diligently.
Brought from various elephant camps located in the jungles around Mysore, 12 Dasara elephants will be slogging over the next three weeks, practicing all that is needed to participate in the Jumboo Savari, an event that marks the end of Dasara festivities.
From the routine jungle patrol taking anti-poaching personnel on their back in forests of Bandipur and Nagarahole, the task given to these elephants changes once they arrive in Mysore following the Gaja Payana, the commencement of their journey from forests to Mysore Palace. They are put through a grind that enables the success of the Jumboo Savari.
According to Nagaraj, veterinarian, the elephants are assigned the task of patrolling along with the personnel of anti-poaching camps. They help the personnel in swift movement within the forest.
There are around 70 tamed elephants in exclusive camps at Dubare, Hebballa, Moorkal, Kallalla, Nagarahole, Veeranahosahalli, Metikuppe, Sunkadakatte, Bandipur, Moolehole, K. Gudi and Bheemeshwari. About 240 mahouts and kavadis take care of the needs of these elephants and develop a bond with them.
The Dasara elephants Balarama, Bharatha, Srirama, Abhimanyu and Gajendra have come from Moorkal, while Prashantha, Vikram, Vijay and Harsha have been brought from Dubare. Kanti has come from K. Gudi, while Revati and Mary have been brought from Sunkdakatte.
In the Mysore Palace courtyard, the elephants go through various regimens that have been designed to ensure that they do not get scared of the new environs. Dr. Nagaraj said: "These elephants are exposed to the sound of cannon fire that reverberate in the courtyard during the main procession. In phases, they are taken on the Sayyaji Rao Road, the route of the procession. The mahouts also take the elephants to big and small monuments on the palace premises and familiarise them."
The 48-years-old Balarama standing at 2.70 metres, which will carry the Howdah, gets to rehearse with sand bags weighing about 800 kg, equivalent of the golden howdah. It has participated in 12 Dasara processions, of which it has carried the howdah six times.
Walking in the footsteps and learning the tricks is 39-year-old Bharatha, who is tipped to succeed Balarama. Sources say this 2.9-meter tall elephant captured from Kattepura forests of Kodagu, has all the traits to become the howdah elephant.

Our pastor of three years is excellent. The former pastor, who was here 15 years, is kind, gentle, good-natured and well-liked. We were sad to see him go. But he went only 50 miles away and frequently socializes with our members. His presence is strong and hurts our church. Other pastors have mentioned this to him, but he claims it's the new pastor's problem. What is proper contact? Were the Jesus' disciples baptized? What biblical reference is there?

Bryana Austin needs to be rescued in more than one way when she runs into the unknown in a fit of anger. After witnessing her lover's infidelity, she never thought she would find another mistress, especially not so soon.
Cassie Stuart has been looking for the perfect submissive since she lost her last lover. She never expected she would find one wandering around lost in the woods.
Cassie and Bryana may have just found in each other the one person who can meet their needs. Bryana is amazed by Cassie's home and specifically by her play room. Cassie is intrigued by Bryana's reaction when she finds the room. Playing together will either make or break them as mistress and submissive.
The relationship between these two women develops quickly but with amazing talent, Dalia Craig uses few words to convey so much emotion. Bryana and Cassie are two strong characters that need what the other can provide, and it is a stroke of luck they find each other. It is a hot read that shows that love can be born from the ashes of one's misery.

Paul the elder never won a statewide popular vote in a primary or general election. Ron Paul has his base, but never could really reach beyond it. His son, Rand, is simply a better politician. The one thing that Ron did have was an organization set up to help him get votes in the early states. He got 21% of the vote in Iowa and 23% in New Hampshire in 2012.Of course, the GOP seems unable to resist handing the nomination to the next establishment candidate in line. But who would that person be in 2016? It would need to be someone who ran before and seems pretty bland and moderate. Is there anyone like that hanging around right now? Paul Ryan seems insufficiently old. Jeb Bush? Oh, my lord, the answer is Jeb Bush.
Rand, in my opinion, will likely inherit much of his father's organization. Assume that can give him 21% of the vote in Iowa and 23% of the vote in New Hampshire. It's quite possible that only high 20s are needed to win both states. One has to think that given Rand's political abilities, which his father failed to posses, he can win that extra 5% of the vote in each state to put him over the top.
Rand Paul winning either Iowa or New Hampshire, let alone both, would make him a big time power player for the 2016 primary season. It might even put him in a position to, dare I say, win the nomination.

Never happen.

I would vote for Rand Paul, but like the post says, the Republicans won't let him run. If they put up one of their old tired establishment candidates again (hello, Mitt!) I just won't vote. I am training myself not to care.
- Icepick said...
Of course the answer is Jeb Bush. So we're going to get another Bush/Clinton race - if things go according to plan, and they won't.
- Icepick said...
We'll also be setting up for George P. Bush vs Chelsea in 2020 or 2024.
Thank God we got rid of all that royalty and nobility crap back in the 1700s.... - 3/11/13, 11:26 AM
- Nonapod said...
I like Rand, but realistically I just don't see it. Libertarianism scares most people, they want the comfort of a heavily involved government. Plus his view on foreign policy and the military are still a bit ambiguous, and if they're anything like his father's would turn off most conservatives.
- Bob Ellison said...
Jeb should not run.
- Diamondhead said...
There is no way Rand Paul will both inherit his father's organization and supporters and win the Republican nomination. By virtue of winning one of those, he will have lost the other.
- AEH said...
Gary Johnson 2016? The youth can get behind him.
- Broomhandle said...
Jeb Bush,I mean. Rand Paul, hell yeah. Just to watch the Loony Left's little brains explode if for no other reason.
- lincolntf said...
Paul Ryan is the frontrunner in my mind. Jeb can't win the general election, any time he spends running will be wasted.
- Aridog said...
Rand Paul would not get my vote even for big pay...no matter which party. Big hero for a pointless charade recently. Can you say "gas-bag" and charlatan?
- AEH said...
The evangelicals won't vote for Johnson due to his social policies though...
- Lyle said...
Jindal and Paul, or Paul and Jindal.
Watch out! - 3/11/13, 11:37 AM

A lot has to do with how good or bad the country is doing by the end of Obama's term. If he makes Bush II look good Jeb has a chance. After all, he was the son Bush I thought was most likely and qualified intellectually to be President. GW was more aggressive, not smarter. When I look at Jeb Bush I see his mother -- very sharp personality.
- Jim said...
Paul Ryan has never won a state election. Getting elected to a congressional seat is one thing; getting elected Senator is another.
Of course Rand Paul will inherit his Father's organization. Why do you think he declined the Libertarian nomination in 2012? If he had, it would have poisoned the well for Rand in 2016. - 3/11/13, 11:41 AM

It would be better to get somebody who has more of an intuition for the Constition than Paul does.

Gary Johnson 2016? The youth can get behind him.
The only crowd-surfing candidate in the field! - 3/11/13, 11:44 AM

Jeb sure seems like he is running.
- Original Mike said...
I'm intrigued. I'd have voted for his father if he hadn't curled up into the fetal position at the U.S. border.
- Icepick said...
GW was more aggressive, not smarter. When I look at Jeb Bush I see his mother -- very sharp personality.
I don't know that GW was any more aggressive - he was just luckier in his opponent back in 1994. GW got to run against Ann Richards, who must have been awful. Jeb had to run against Lawton Chiles, who was the meannest and dirtiest pol Florida has produced at a state-wide level. All those push calls on the final weekend worked and Lawton eeked out a victory. If Jeb had won in 1994 he would have likely been the front-runner for the Presidency by 2000. - 3/11/13, 11:48 AM
- Bender said...
Paul Ryan, for all his faux conservativism, is much, much more Establishment than either of the sons of George H.W. Bush.
And to the extent that George W. wasn't conservative enough, it was because he had to placate those Establishment types. - 3/11/13, 11:50 AM
- Bender said...
The Establisment candidate is probably going to be someone like Chris Christie. You know, someone who will give us "adult supervision."
- edutcher said...
Rand Paul has a shot largely because he comes across as the sane one in the Paul family.
R. Chatt said...
A lot has to do with how good or bad the country is doing by the end of Obama's term.
I think that's another question that is answered merely by asking.
Does anybody really believe we'll be doing any better? - 3/11/13, 11:54 AM
- Bender said...
Without having to deal with John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Chuck Hagel, George Voinovich, Mel Martinez, John Warner, Trent Lott, Richard Lugar, Lamar Alexander, Mike DeWine, and more, George W. would have been a much more conservative president.
- Revenant said...
I don't see another Bush winning the nomination. I think there's a lot of Bush fatigue, even within the Republican Party. Besides, if the Republicans follow their normal approach Santorum should be the nominee.
The big determining factor for Rand would be whether or not other credible Tea Party candidates enter the race. None did in 2012, but there are a couple of possibilities this time.
It will come down to whether the Tea Partiers have a bigger voice than the "we must wage endless war with money borrowed from the Chinese" crowd. - 3/11/13, 11:56 AM
- DrMaturin said...
I agree with Bender that the establishment candidate will be Christie. Who just might go all the way. But it's going to be a quirky year, just like 2008, with people sick of the incumbent. For example, I think the notion that Hillary Clinton is "inevitable" (again) is silly.
Nobody but Karl Rove wants Jeb Bush to be President. - 3/11/13, 12:02 PM

Libertarianism scares most people,...
No it is only scary for their weak defense philosophy...as you have said. - 3/11/13, 12:04 PM

All I know is the bastards who run the Republican party had better do something unexpected. Like going balls out and aiming to either flatten some motherfuckers or go down wreathed in glorious flames instead of trailing the chife of bullshit for once.

Jeb Bush? The GOP is truly the stupid party.
- G Joubert said...

Here we go again. As in, "If Romney is the nominee, ..." redux 2016. The Rs are so screwed.
Re Jeb: Let's face it, the last Bush is the one singularly responsible for utterly trashing the Republican brand. Not so much for his policies (although some of them were unhelpful), but for his refusal to defend his policies. In the face of withering and unrelenting criticism and really cheap shots, Bush and Rove stayed quiet, ceding the debate to the left on the left's terms. The damage to brand has been extensive and maybe permanent.
The Bush previous to the last Bush was no better.
Bush fatigue, I hope, will stop Jeb in his tracks. - 3/11/13, 12:11 PM
- purplepenquin said...
If they put up one of their old tired establishment candidates again (hello, Mitt!) I just won't vote.
Please don't not vote, 'cause then nothing at all will ever change.
If you (and others) start voting for third/fourth party candidates, then the TwoMainParties will take note of what issue(s) are drawing folks away, and adopt those issues in order to win you back.
This was how women got the vote in America, as well as how booze was outlawed and re-legalized.
If you don't care enough to at least show up on election day, then the political parties ain't gonna even try to win you over.

Paul/Palin 2016!
- Rocketeer said...
Paul has a shot, not least because he has some interesting opportunities to consolidate the support of the Establishment (by helping McConnell fend off a "challenge" from Ashley Judd in 2014), the Tea Party (his small government tendencies are real, and already appeal to them) and to the Paulites (his filibuster - which, contra Aridog, had both substantive and symboilic appeal - was chum to both them and the TPers).
- Aridog said...
G Joubert said...
Ref: "Rand Paul would not get my vote even for big pay..."
Here we go again. As in, "If Romney is the nominee, ..." redux 2016...
Don't even begin to include me in that crap. I voted for Romney.
I will not vote for Rand Paul under any circumstances, even if it means I don't vote for the first time in my life. His most recent Kabuki Theater charade is indicative of his depth...shallow as a pane of flat glass. - 3/11/13, 12:30 PM
- Aridog said...
Rocketeer said ...
... contra Aridog, had both substantive and symbolic appeal ...
Care to illuminate the "substantive" part? I'll grant you "symbolic". Tell us just what, exactly, he accomplished? Other than headlines for a day.
Ou oh ou ah...he got Eric Holder's "word" .... impressive. - 3/11/13, 12:34 PM
- Rocketeer said...
Oh, don't get me wrong; I don't think the substantive advantage of the filibuster had anything to do with the subject. Hint: Why do you think McCain and Graham threw their snit fit the next day?
- Rocketeer said...
P.S. - Why on earth would you ever think a filibuster even needs to have substantive component, anyway? It's politics: often, symbol is enough, and sometimes even better than substance. Which ties back in to the McCain and Graham's tantrum, as well.
- Aridog said...
Rocketeer said...
Oh, don't get me wrong; I don't think the substantive advantage of the filibuster had anything to do with the subject. Hint: Why do you think McCain and Graham threw their snit fit the next day?
Skip the hint...just tell me in cogent English what the substantive accomplishment was in fact.
I could care less what McCain or Graham have to say. - 3/11/13, 12:48 PM
- Aridog said...
Rocketeer said ...
It's politics ...
It is Kabuki Theater...especially when the perpetrator of the filabluster votes for cloture himself. - 3/11/13, 12:52 PM
- Aridog said...
Rocketeer said...
P.S. - Why on earth would you ever think a filibuster even needs to have substantive component, anyway?
Uh...quoting you here ...
his filibuster - which, contra Aridog, had both substantive and symbolic appeal...
Regardless of my position, you asserted the existence of something substantive. So you tell me, okay.
PS: we're wasting time here, as I suspect we both support the same basic things. Our difference is that you think R. Paul does too, and I don't.
- Nonapod said...
If your cutoff for whether you would vote for a candidate or not is based upon that candidate never playing politics (for example: never performing a "Kabuki Theater charade" of a filibuster) then you'll probably find it impossible to find a candidate to vote for.
You shouldn't have any illusions about professional politicians at the national level. Pretty much everything they do is image focused, substance is almost incidental. - 3/11/13, 1:13 PM
- prairie wind said...
Substance? I thought it was Paul's emphasis on pulling power away from the executive branch back to the Senate (and to Congress). I haven't heard anyone else make that argument as clearly. Too bad the Senate would rather go out for dinner with the O than develop some backbone and do their jobs. They should be fighting him tooth and nail; instead, they are letting him make them irrelevant.
- tim maguire said...
The GOP all too often gives the nod to the person next in line, but given 2 straight drubbings by a weak opponent and the lack of an obvious Bob Dole or John McCain out there right now, 2016 is the best chance for a new face.
- Revenant said...
Skip the hint...just tell me in cogent English what the substantive accomplishment was in fact.
He got the executive branch to admit, for the first time in over eleven years, that there is a limit to the powers granted the Presidency by the AUMF.
The very fact that so many hawks wet their pants over the issue is indicative of its significance. - 3/11/13, 1:31 PM
- Astro said...
It's interesting to me that for 2016 on the Republican side there is Ryan, Paul, Rubio, Jindal, Christie and even Bush. Maybe a couple others. (Bill Whittle!?)
On the Democrat side there is... ? ...? ...? Old, tired and ineffective Hillary Clinton who has had major health issues (which ought to disqualify her, but won't). Who else do they have? Cuomo, who lacks personality and is shacking up with the cooking show lady? Is that all they've got? - 3/11/13, 1:31 PM
- G Joubert said...
It's the mindset. Many good conservatives and libertarians vowed to never vote for Romney if he won the nomination, and they didn't. Voila! 4 more years of The Bamster. That showed us.
Now comes those vowing to never vote for Rand Paul. And I assume they won't.
And we can do a lot of these. There are right-center people out there right now vowing to never vote for
--Jeb, if he's the nominee
--an establishment Repub nominee
--a moderate Repub nominee
--a libertarian who gets the nomination
--a tea partier nominee
Did I miss any? Like I say, the Rs are so screwed. - 3/11/13, 1:32 PM

Thank goodness that Harry J. Enten (Dartmouth '11) is willing to put his years of proven success on the line to help us all w/ the urgent task of forecasting an election that's 3 years away.
We really can't afford to wait much longer to figure this out. - 3/11/13, 1:33 PM
- Revenant said...
Also, Ari, if you'll take time to re-read what was claimed, it was that Rand's filibuster had substantive *appeal*, not that it was a substantive accomplishment.
I.e., both the substance of Rand's speech and the symbolism of it were appealing. - 3/11/13, 1:34 PM
- AJ Lynch said...
Is the country read for a small govt and states right candidate? The answer to that question will determine Rand's chances.
If Obama's serial fuckups [Obamacare, deficit spending, incompetent administration, promise to close GITMO, weak weak ecomomy, etc ] get any widespread notoriety, the Repubs could win with Rand. - 3/11/13, 1:37 PM
- Revenant said...
On the Democrat side there is... ? ...? ...?
In 2008 the Democratic nominees were a half-term senator, a one-term senator, and a former one-term senator. The half-term senator got the nomination and two terms as President. This suggests that the Democrats don't really need someone with great experience to win.
John Hickenlooper of Colorado is someone to keep an eye on. - 3/11/13, 1:41 PM
- Rocketeer said...
I wasn't contesting the notion that Paul's filibuster had a substantive purpose, which was twofold: to highlight the President's and Democrats' hypocrisy on due process, using the specific to feature the general, and to steal headlines from the headline-stealing gimmick of "The Dinner." I was questioning your seeming assertion (admittedly, I was just inferring, so correct me if I'm wrong) that a filibuster need have a substantive purpose to have a beneficial result. - 3/11/13, 1:45 PM
- Bruce Hayden said...
A lot of things can, and probably will change in the next three years. Right now, Rand Paul comes across as the leader of the crazy wing of the party. Another Barry Goldwater maybe, and that memory is maybe one that will keep him out of the nomination.
My guess right now is that one of the Hispanics is a much better shot. They both seem to have joined Paul in his fillibuster, and are members of a demographic that would be very useful in rewinning the White House. - 3/11/13, 2:03 PM
- Bender said...
Many good conservatives and libertarians vowed to never vote for Romney if he won the nomination, and they didn't. Voila! 4 more years of The Bamster. That showed us.
More conservatives sucked it up and ended up eating that sandwich and voting for Romney than did all of those moderates and centrists who insisted that if only the Republicans would nominate a centrist like Romney, they would vote for him in droves, just like they insisted that they would vote for McCain if he ever got the nomination and, in both cases, they of course bailed and voted Democrat.

The very fact that so many hawks wet their pants over the issue is indicative of its significance.
I'm the only person I know who had a pants-wetting reaction to Rand's filibuster. Who are the other hawks? I could use the moral support. - 3/11/13, 2:32 PM

I think I'm for Jindal, based solely on his speech at the Gridiorn Dinner Saturday night.
Lots of good stuff, but this may be my favorite line:

I was questioning your seeming assertion ... that a filibuster need have a substantive purpose to have a beneficial result.
My error of expectation it appears. There never was even a slight intention to block Brennan's confirmation as DCIA. Nothing is serious to these 100 posers except posture. Nonapod is right...politics is a game and any substance is incidental.
I'm pissed off because even I was sucked in for the early hours...then I realized what was going on. That is why I call it Kabuki theater and charade...and I still do. Brennan is the last man who should be DCIA, so of course the bi-partisan schmucks had to stage a stunt and then confirm him anyway.
No one gave a damn and that includes Paul. It was a stage, that's all. In the past, how many Senators who filabuster also voted for cloture? Speaking of cloture and the threat thereof...why is it again that we've had no budget for 4 years?
I will give the current Democrats credit...they are masters of Three Card Monte.
And y'all are correct, I am wasting my time having any expectations beyond the superficial. After my military and federal guises, I have no faith left in anyone...at least not above the rank of GS-14, Master Sergeant, or Lieutenant Colonel. - 3/11/13, 3:12 PM

Tru dat. It appears the eternally tan Charlie is going to run as a democrat in the next election. Life can be weirder than fiction so there is the possibility the fate may decide just for fun to have a Clinton-Bush rematch in 2016. It wouldn't be prudent but there you go. - 3/11/13, 4:38 PM

Scott Walker for President!
- Birches said...
Scott Walker should do it, but no one will let him because somehow not having a college education disqualifies him, even if he's managed to govern circles around the Ivy league boys.
Hick is the only bright spot the Dems have going for them. I think he would win the nomination. CO Dems have bought this state for the next few years. Though the gun position might sink him.
Paul Ryan is disqualified. He couldn't carry his home state. Hopefully, the Republican party has rethought the strategy of nominating someone who can't even give you electoral votes.
- BDNYC said...
A Christie/Paul ticket or a Paul/Christie would be formidable. It would also seem to represent a significant shift in the party. Pragmatic Northeast moderate with bombastic temperament to get a make the party competitive among working class whited in supposedly blue states. Libertarian conservative tea partier from the South who somehow appeals to young voters and liberals.
Big government social conservatives and neocons would be the losers. Let the Democrats have them, I say. - 3/11/13, 6:56 PM

In the sense that matter and antimatter create a formidable explosion.

Paul Ryan is making moves to cave on background checks and gun show restrictions in the house. If he supports ANY gun legislation it is over for him. If this happens it is also likely over for the Republican Party. If anything on gun control passes the house I will never vote for another republican and there are many with me. It will be new political party time.
Christie is terrible on gun control also. Look for his past statements on that issue to sink him. More than that he is a tubby Mitt and his Obama love fest ended any chance he had. His comments on the pork recovery bill just reinforces this.
Rubio tried to kill his chances with his activities on immigration but realized the ground was giving way and has backed off that. Definitely the front runner.
Paul actually has principles. That will go a long ways and he will draw a lot of young people from a demographic you don't see around here.
Jindal is the school choice champion. He is also ambiguous on enough issues and very under exposed if he gets on the stage he has a lot of upside. He has generally said the right things that I wanted to hear.
Jeb won't run. If he wins the nomination you will see the lowest base turnout ever. We don't forget that outside of war time W created a whole new entitlement program and ran some lovely deficits and massively increased spending. Democrat lite won't cut it those to around. - 3/12/13, 5:04 AM

Got a list of a few of those?
While it is depressing, I agree with most of what you've said, except the bit about Paul. Even others here have said Paul is a politician first and therefore expectations of grit is silly.
Paul did a brief episode of "It's Howdy Doody Time" and now he's a hero? He voted for cloture on his own filabluster.
Let's see how he votes on defense related matters. Is he a man of principle for being one of four Republican Senators to vote Yes for Hagel's confirmation? He also voted for Kerry. Once cloture was secured, he was free to pose and vote nay on Brennan.
As Nonapod essentially said on another thread, I'm a sad victim of my own expectations. He's right. - 3/12/13, 8:14 AM

Ref: "Got a list of a few of those?"

Either you have no list, or think you're too special to bother. Try me, I will read/listen...and it WILL NOT BE the first time I've changed my mind and admitted it here.
If you really believe Rand Paul is a worthwhile politician, explain why you feel that way. THAT is how minds and votes get changed...good points, not dismissive comments about my lack of reasoning power.
Truth be told, I would LIKE to think more highly of Senator Paul. His votes on Kerry and Hagel didn't give me that sense that he was a man for change. However, Kerry and Hagel are stooges. Brennan is not, he is a real operator with real power.
I think Brennan is Obama's reincarnation of LBJ's Robert Komer. Am I wrong there, too?
I AM asking you, tell me where I am wrong, particularly about Senator Paul. You say you can, I believe you ... so please do so. - 3/12/13, 4:08 PM

Paul knows his stand on foreign policy is not popular in the Republican Party. It is one of the major blocks to him winning the nomination. I don't agree with a lot of it. Cutting Israel off and non-interventionalism are not my thing. But he sticks to it when it would be easier to soften up on that issue.
In addition if you were to pick out the legislator who if elected president would be most likely to eliminate the Ed department, the EPA, farm subsidies, and other sacred cows it would be him on constitutional grounds. I also believe he put forth a budget with actual cuts to federal spending. Ryan thinks lowering growth to 3.4% is good enough. - 3/13/13, 5:10 AM

These are the stories that make see red beyond belief! Police in Kansas City have arrested a 29 year-old mother of three for locking and keeping her daughter in a closet for days causing her to become malnourished.

Unfortunately the gay rights groups only believe in their rights and not those who are different. They don't tolerate those who are different and the Democrats have given them the power to bully those who don't see the world like they do.

Without a back story on whether she had been a public figure against marriage
equality, and telling us exactly what she said to the prospective couple, we
can't say much for sure, other than noting it is illegal for a business to
discriminate in New Mexico.
If the woman had said, "I can't say
no, but, since my heart will not be in it due to my beliefs, I would rather you
got someone else." --- most Gay folks would say thanks and leave.
she openly flouted the law, if she made the mistake of saying that she was a
Christian and would not do it (implying that they are not Christians), if she
brought up the Bible, etc etc
--- she belongs in court being sued.
you don't agree, think about "I'm a Baptist and we don't
serve mormons" (in a State where discrimination is illegal)

"The idea that free people can be 'compelled by law to compromise the
very religious beliefs that inspire their lives' as the 'price of
citizenship' is a chilling and unprecedented attack on freedom."
Exactly, this is chilling. As unfortunate as other recent same-sex
rulings have been, this is one of the worst because it punishes people for their
moral and religious convictions.

A sad state of affairs when government rules against freedom of religion and conscience. American citizens are free to pursue their lifestyles whatever they are, at their own eternal and legal peril. Courts have gone out of their way to persecute legitimate religious beliefs, as opposed to the nature of cults. There are many mistaken beliefs including by many on the religious right that homosexuality is a sin, but that is not true as only the act of homosexuality is a sin in the Christian-Judeo tradition. That sin applies to unmarried persons as well that are to refrain from sex outside of marriage, and likewise the married are prohibited from having sexual relations outside of their own marriage. Same church; different pew. Government interfering with the free practice of religion and forcing actions against religion and conscience is intolerable. America is rapidly falling away from its tradition as the land of the free as it imposes its statist religion that is part and parcel of the evolving dictatorship that is its own god. Moral decline leads to every other kind of decline and the courts are no longer the last resort as the slippery slope just got slipperier.

The Supreme Court is saying that Americans cannot allow their religious beliefs
to be expressed in their work and livelihood.
The photographer got
what she wanted...the ability to extend her beliefs into her place of
employment. The photographer did not receive payment and was not rewarded in
any way. The couple did not lose any money to this photographer, and was able
to hire a different photographer. They got pictures of their wedding.
If a customer is not pleased with any level of service that a business offers,
they can go to another business. Money is the driving factor of a contract in
business. If a business finds that their position is causing a loss in revenue
they can choose to change their business policies or accept lower sales.
It seems that everyone can receive what they want. I do not understand
why a lawsuit was brought. And I do not understand the reasoning of the court,
as I summarized in my first sentence above.

What is the situation here? Had the women already paid money to the company that
could not be refunded? Had everything been set and then the company backed out
at the last minute? Or was it because in discussing the plans with the
photographer it was determined that it would not be a perfect situation for both
parties. After all, you would not want someone to take pictures at your wedding
and do a crappy job because they don't agree with what you are doing, would
you?. The Lesbian "couple" should be grateful, say thank you for being
honest and find another business, instead of going to court.
As a
business owner, I have the right to refuse services. I have a sign posted that
says just that. Just like "no shirt, no shoes, no service".

And Atheism or Hinduism or Buddhism (not believing in that God or Christ at all) don't violate her beliefs? What a handy scapegoat in gays she (thought she) has found! Hypocrisy at its finest. When people own a business, they own that business's legal responsibilities, not the other way around.

This decision is the only possible correct one.
"Rejecting that
argument, Justice Richard Bosson wrote for the court that the business owners
"have to channel their conduct, not their beliefs, so as to leave space for
other Americans who believe something different."
compromise is part of the glue that holds us together as a nation, the tolerance
that lubricates the varied moving parts of us a people," Bosson wrote in an
opinion concurring with the court's ruling. "That sense of respect we
owe others, whether or not we believe as they do, illuminates this country,
setting it apart from the discord that afflicts much of the rest of the world.
In short, I would say to the Huguenins, with the utmost respect: it is the price
of citizenship."
Beautifully stated.

And thus we see that the fears of religious people are based in fact. Gay
rights advocates have always claimed that so-called gay "marriage" wll
not intrude on freedom of religion in this country. Thus we see that this is
not true.

So apparently the photographer needs to have a conflicting event on their schedule in order to refuse doing it without it being discrimination. The solution is to fill your schedule with fictitious events and then replace them as you get events you are willing to photograph.

So, in what circumstances can a "commercial business" refuse anyone as a
client or customer?
And is the key to being a commercial business
that one actively "solicits" for business? If so, what about someone who
works on a referral basis only? They don't advertise or market themselves,
but have a business license and do such good work that their customers tell
their friends about them?
I don't think we've heard the

If protection of traditional marriage is something you value be grateful that
gay relationships are getting more respect.
No longer do gay people
feel compelled to marry somebody of the opposite sex. They now stick to their
own kind. Contrary to what some say, this change is a protection of traditional
marriage in that our daughters will no longer find themselves in marriages where
the husband can't appreciate them as a wife with her wondering why or
eventually finding out why.
No longer will women be at risk that
their husbands will leave them to go be with their boyfriend. Growing up my
brothers friends mother ran off, she just disappeared. This was a big blow to
my brothers friend. Later on became common knowledge his father was gay.
Speculation is this is the reason for his mother leaving.
