2008-01-08 21:37 < TheWeasel> but its not the mean course
2008-01-08 21:37 < Mark_Ryan> I think America is ready for a female president, and it is also ready for a black president. Why not combine the two, and elect Oprah?

2008-01-08 21:39 < Mark_Ryan> wow, the gap's back out to 4% according to CNN
2008-01-08 21:39 < g666rl> he's one of the best we got, but still

2008-01-08 21:39 < Cyrius> I'd have said it straight out, but that'd be plagiarism
2008-01-08 21:40 < g666rl> forgive
2008-01-08 21:40 < g666rl> me
2008-01-08 21:40 < Mark_Ryan> must have been some sort of error before, because i think they've lowered Obama's figure a bit
2008-01-08 21:40 < kenlyric> I can't yet decide if the american white male (the one who votes, a lot) is more afraid of women or of the black africans.
2008-01-08 21:40 < ST47> It was 2% a few seconds ago >.>
2008-01-08 21:40 < Cyrius> ST47: dame isn't a bad word =)

2008-01-08 21:40 < ST47> Cyrius: those were meant to go together
2008-01-08 21:40 * TheWeasel would pick the mean ol' fighter Clinton over the big ol' smoocher Obama

2008-01-08 21:40 < theINC> 3 large scoops of icecream, a teeny bit of milk and strawberry topping
2008-01-08 21:40 < kenlyric> WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?
2008-01-08 21:41 < kenlyric> milk in a milkshake is an abomination
2008-01-08 21:41 < Mark_Ryan> Obama announced if he won New Hampshire he would become President. looks like he's not going to be president. lol
2008-01-08 21:41 < theINC> it'll probably stay that way, i don't think my milkshake maker is powerful enough to turn that into a thickshake
2008-01-08 21:41 < Yert> Mark_Ryan: Lol
2008-01-08 21:41 < kenlyric> Mark_Ryan: he really said that? [citation needed]

2008-01-08 21:42 < Mark_Ryan> no, it was The West Australian, probably a reuters article
2008-01-08 21:42 < kenlyric> anything owned by Murdoch is no longer a reputable source for news.
2008-01-08 21:42 < TheWeasel> if a = b, not a doesn't always equal not b
2008-01-08 21:42 < Mark_Ryan> and it's not owned by Murdoch.
2008-01-08 21:42 < Cyrius> kenlyric: ITYM 'never was'
2008-01-08 21:42 < Messedrocker> if an equation has two solutions
2008-01-08 21:42 < Messedrocker> does that mean that equation has multiple personality disorder?
2008-01-08 21:42 < kenlyric> Cyrius: some of them were before they were owned by murdoch.
2008-01-08 21:42 < Cyrius> oh, true
2008-01-08 21:43 < zocky> Antony Gormley's proposal to winch up 8,760 members of the public, for an hour at a time, to use the plinth as their soapbox was pitted against Jeremy Deller's idea to bring over the remains of a burnt-out car from the streets of Iraq to hoist atop the plinth and Yinka Shonibare's plan to fill the stone statue base with a replica of Lord Nelson's HMS Victory inside a giant bottle.

2008-01-08 21:46 < kenlyric> the question is: how many for john edwards?
2008-01-08 21:46 < g666rl> abc cbs nbc cnn
2008-01-08 21:46 < TheWeasel> Faintings in the audience as Paul takes the stage

2008-01-08 21:47 < kenlyric> and which way will his votes go when he inevitably drops out?
2008-01-08 21:47 < theINC> kenlyric: most of john edwards' votes are from dead people
2008-01-08 21:47 < ST47> Edwards is still 20 points behind
2008-01-08 21:47 < kenlyric> theINC: not nice to talk about his wife that way.
2008-01-08 21:47 < theINC> kenlyric: lol?

2008-01-08 21:49 < kenlyric> I don't think I could go any further.
2008-01-08 21:49 < zocky> james earl jones for president, so he can give speeches in darth vader voice
2008-01-08 21:49 < Messedrocker> sounds sexy

2008-01-08 21:49 < g666rl> theINC: yes Will Smith said that he would become in t if he put his mind to it
2008-01-08 21:49 < Messedrocker> it's soooo sooothing

2008-01-08 21:49 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-08 21:49 < bumm13> New Hampshire isn't the most highly-populated eastern state
2008-01-08 21:50 < kenlyric> I suspect if they do reasonably close to each other, there will be an actual contest on february 5.
2008-01-08 21:50 < zocky> isn't ashland in morrowind?

2008-01-08 22:07 < Evil_Monkey> zocky: though what is with giving all the democratic candidates barely distinguishable shades of blue
2008-01-08 22:08 < g666rl> goddamt
2008-01-08 22:08 < zocky> now that presenters can move pictures themselves, they can fire the guy who used to do it for them
2008-01-08 22:08 < NotACow> zocky: heh
2008-01-08 22:08 < LuciferTiger> man this is a cliffhanger
2008-01-08 22:08 < NotACow> I HAVE TECHNOLOGY AND I CAN PLAY WITH IT
2008-01-08 22:08 < zocky> the black-haired chick just couldn't stop playing with it earlier, and now she's gone. maybe they called security?
2008-01-08 22:09 < Mark_Ryan> the gap is widening once more
2008-01-08 22:09 < LuciferTiger> bt there are no results like at all from a lot of places yet... so they are simply not willing to call it.
2008-01-08 22:09 * Messedrocker gives NotACow sticks and stones
2008-01-08 22:10 < TheWeasel> Soledad looks lost.
2008-01-08 22:10 < NotACow> they're waiting for the college towns
2008-01-08 22:10 < kila> Mark_Ryan: did you hear about charmaine dragun's uncle :S
2008-01-08 22:10 < Messedrocker> You can troll more effectively with these! =)
2008-01-08 22:10 < Mark_Ryan> kila: that he was one of the truckies killed on great eastern highway in the fire? yes
2008-01-08 22:10 < Yert> CNN should call it for hillary
2008-01-08 22:10 < kila> Mark_Ryan: indeed. I know the mother/sister.
2008-01-08 22:10 < NotACow> mother/sister?
2008-01-08 22:10 * Evil_Monkey loves the way Fox and CNN insist on referring to themselves as teh awesome
2008-01-08 22:10 < Mark_Ryan> kila: sad :(
2008-01-08 22:11 < Evil_Monkey> "the best political team on television"
2008-01-08 22:11 < TheWeasel> CNN call it for Hillary doesn't make a Hillary win.
2008-01-08 22:11 < TheWeasel> *ing
2008-01-08 22:11 < Messedrocker> "Our political team is so awesome it has sex with itself"
2008-01-08 22:11 < kila> she is a mother and a sister, lost her daughter and brother in 2 months.
2008-01-08 22:11 < NotACow> cnn isn't going to call it anyway
2008-01-08 22:11 < TheWeasel> Dude, I just thought Edwards wore glasses
2008-01-08 22:11 < LuciferTiger> who
2008-01-08 22:11 < kenlyric> I'm calling gravel, biden, dodd, thompson and hunter out tomorrow.
2008-01-08 22:11 < Yert> CNN is usually right when they call things
2008-01-08 22:11 < NotACow> kenlyric: gravel has been out for months
2008-01-08 22:11 < kenlyric> kucinech and paul will ne3ver drop out.
2008-01-08 22:11 < g666rl> at 59 percent, the gap is 59 ABC 3776 CBS 4374 NBS 3551 CNN 3826
2008-01-08 22:11 < TheWeasel> Biden and Dodd were only write-ins
2008-01-08 22:11 < NotACow> kenlyric: dodd dropped out a few days ago
2008-01-08 22:11 < kenlyric> NotACow: out of the race.
2008-01-08 22:11 < kenlyric> not out of touch with reality
2008-01-08 22:11 < Yert> "The most trusted name in news"
2008-01-08 22:11 < NotACow> kenlyric: he hasn't campaigned in months
2008-01-08 22:12 < g666rl> at 59 percent, the gap is 59 ABC 3776 CBS 4374 NBS 3551 CNN 3826 ABC 6,27% CBS 6,94% NBS 6,12% CNN 6,29%
2008-01-08 22:12 < kenlyric> NotACow: they put him back in the home
2008-01-08 22:12 < NotACow> hunter thompson is dead
2008-01-08 22:12 < Mark_Ryan> you'd need to look at the counties which have reported and those which haven't, to look at whether the result is likely to change much in the remaining 39% or so of the count
2008-01-08 22:12 < g666rl> inf favor of hillary
2008-01-08 22:12 < g666rl> WTF is hunter?
2008-01-08 22:12 < NotACow> Mark_Ryan: the answer is that it's likely to change
2008-01-08 22:12 < kenlyric> NotACow: all that means is that i've got a better chance of being right :)
2008-01-08 22:12 < NotACow> Mark_Ryan: there's three college towns that haven't reported at all
2008-01-08 22:12 < g666rl> should richardson drop out?
2008-01-08 22:12 < kmccoy> Can someone who knows more about using refs in articles help me figure out how to change a reference on a page? On [[2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike]] I'd like to change the ref for Tom Short's quote to the actual press release, rather than some blog with a title of "bitch slapping"
2008-01-08 22:12 < Mark_Ryan> NotACow: interesting
2008-01-08 22:12 < NotACow> g666rl: no, he's going to hold out for a while.
2008-01-08 22:13 < g666rl> if he does, where are his votes going?
2008-01-08 22:13 < zocky> CNN candidate estimates: Clinton 4, Obama 5, Edwards 0, Richardson 0
2008-01-08 22:13 < NotACow> g666rl: nowhere
2008-01-08 22:13 < zocky> how does that work?
2008-01-08 22:13 < NotACow> g666rl: his delegates will be unpledged and may vote for whomever they want
2008-01-08 22:13 < g666rl> i mean in the remaining time?
2008-01-08 22:13 < NotACow> zocky: those are superdelegates who have pledged
2008-01-08 22:13 < g666rl> the other states
2008-01-08 22:14 < kenlyric> if feb 5 goes much like tonight, we might actually have an interesting democratic convention.
2008-01-08 22:14 < kenlyric> one can dream, at least.
2008-01-08 22:14 < g666rl> kenlyric: demmit man
2008-01-08 22:14 < NotACow> zocky: superdelegates can vote for whomever they want, but mmany of them will declare who they are voting for, or the media will identify whot they're likely to vote for based on endorsements or statements
2008-01-08 22:14 < g666rl> please not
2008-01-08 22:14 < zocky> NotACow, sounds complicated. does the average voter get it?
2008-01-08 22:14 < NotACow> zocky: e.g. obama (who is a superdelegate) will likely vote for himself.
2008-01-08 22:14 < TheWeasel> Is that Mrs Edwards?
2008-01-08 22:14 < g666rl> yes
2008-01-08 22:14 < g666rl> tonight she doesn't actually look like my grand ma
2008-01-08 22:15 < g666rl> he looks so much younger than her
2008-01-08 22:15 < Evil_Monkey> kenlyric: I would guess that since the convention begins August 28, 2008, it could be known well before then, even if the delegates are split, who the winner will be
2008-01-08 22:15 < NotACow> when is she going to die?
2008-01-08 22:15 < kenlyric> g666rl: think about the republican convention in 1860 :)
2008-01-08 22:15 < TheWeasel> she looks cool
2008-01-08 22:15 < TheWeasel> not one of the pretty lawyer-doggies
2008-01-08 22:15 < NotACow> we'll probably know who is going to win by super duper tuesday
2008-01-08 22:15 < g666rl> kenlyric: on the battle field??
2008-01-08 22:15 < zocky> zomg, edwards worked in a factory
2008-01-08 22:15 < g666rl> she does look kinda cool
2008-01-08 22:15 < zocky> for pocket money, I presume
2008-01-08 22:16 < g666rl> but in iowa i though it was his mother
2008-01-08 22:16 < kenlyric> g666rl: no, they went in with three front-runners and lincoln, the troll from the midwest, came out ahead!
2008-01-08 22:16 < kenlyric> it could be kucinich's BIG SHOT
2008-01-08 22:16 < AzaTht> ok, added an request here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_peer_review#Theodore_Roosevelt_on_broken_glass
2008-01-08 22:16 < g666rl> yah right. dennis the NO menace
2008-01-08 22:16 < zocky> it's funny how politicians equate their teenage summer jobs in a factory with people working in a factory to feed their families
2008-01-08 22:16 < NotACow> zocky: heh
2008-01-08 22:17 < NotACow> I WAS A TEENAGED GOATFELCHER
2008-01-08 22:17 < Evil_Monkey> the son of a turd miner
2008-01-08 22:17 < Xihix> Hey guys, question.
2008-01-08 22:17 < TheWeasel> Dennis is so inoffensive and odd, I guess he's raised many a mother instinct
2008-01-08 22:17 < NotACow> Xihix: no, we will not vote for your FAC
2008-01-08 22:17 < Xihix> Who is a person who has said that uhh
2008-01-08 22:17 < theINC> zocky: lol, how true
2008-01-08 22:17 < Xihix> that he was wrong, and that he is now wiser?
2008-01-08 22:17 < g666rl> Classic racism theory says that Edwards is the best against the Reps
2008-01-08 22:17 < Xihix> anyone notable.
2008-01-08 22:18 < Xihix> nobody?
2008-01-08 22:18 < zocky> was that mrs edwards his wife or mother?
2008-01-08 22:18 < zocky> he looks 20 years younger than her
2008-01-08 22:18 < Yert> edwards is playing the ford theme song
2008-01-08 22:18 < Yert> zocky: the wife
2008-01-08 22:18 < DragonFire1024> OMG
2008-01-08 22:18 < Xihix> also, ron paul is in 5th... :(
2008-01-08 22:18 < g666rl> his wife, im getting used to her
2008-01-08 22:18 < theINC> pfft, i can't think of any more John Edwards jokes
2008-01-08 22:18 < DragonFire1024> John Edwards is about to pull a Howard Dean
2008-01-08 22:18 < kenlyric> I always figured the winner of the convention had to be have at leaqst greater than 50% of delegates voting for them, and not just the most.
2008-01-08 22:18 < TheWeasel> g666rl: It has nothing to do with racism. He's the most aggressive guy in the field.
2008-01-08 22:18 < NotACow> DragonFire1024: i hope he screams
2008-01-08 22:19 < Yert> AHHH!
2008-01-08 22:19 < theINC> apart from the fact he has a similar name to the dodgy tv psychic
2008-01-08 22:19 < DragonFire1024> lol
2008-01-08 22:19 < kenlyric> which is why conventions in the past have had many runoff elections.
2008-01-08 22:19 * Yert sees edwards yelling
2008-01-08 22:19 < NotACow> kenlyric: 50%. used to be 2/3rds
2008-01-08 22:19 < Xihix> Since Ron Paul is done for, who do I support now?
2008-01-08 22:19 < TheWeasel> He's the only guy the Republicans are afraid of.
2008-01-08 22:19 < g666rl> TheWeasel: what do you mean
2008-01-08 22:19 < Yert> Xihix: Hilary.
2008-01-08 22:19 < NotACow> kenlyric: the republicans had a 2/3rds rule for a long time, but they had one convention go to something like 36 ballots because of it and changed it for the next convention.
2008-01-08 22:19 < Xihix> No!
2008-01-08 22:19 < NotACow> TheWeasel: you're nuts.
2008-01-08 22:19 < kenlyric> so, if three people go into the convention with 25-35% of the delegates each, you could have a fight.
2008-01-08 22:19 < NotACow> Xihix: ron paul was done for in 1996.
2008-01-08 22:19 < Xihix> how so?
2008-01-08 22:19 < NotACow> kenlyric: correct
2008-01-08 22:19 < Yert> NotACow: Who do you like?
2008-01-08 22:19 < TheWeasel> I'll take that as a compliment.
2008-01-08 22:20 < NotACow> Yert: i'm from illinois.
2008-01-08 22:20 < Xihix> NotACow, how so
2008-01-08 22:20 < Yert> Obama?
2008-01-08 22:20 < Yert> The guy from desperate housewives is behind edwards.
2008-01-08 22:20 < zocky> i think john edwards would get many more votes if he didn't look so damn wholesome
2008-01-08 22:20 < NotACow> Xihix: ron paul wasn't a credible candidate EVER
2008-01-08 22:20 < g666rl> but the Reps must be happy tonight coz a woman or a black will never win?
2008-01-08 22:20 < DragonFire1024> lol
2008-01-08 22:20 < kenlyric> typically in today's landscape though, one of those three would drop out in place of a vice presidential spot.
2008-01-08 22:20 < zocky> whatever he says sounds fake to me because of that pretty face
2008-01-08 22:20 < Xihix> He was to me.
2008-01-08 22:20 < Yert> Obama should be clintons vice.
2008-01-08 22:21 < TheWeasel> Hillary can win, of course, but it wouldn't be as good if she did.
2008-01-08 22:21 < TheWeasel> it's nothing to do with gender.
2008-01-08 22:21 < kenlyric> Edwards doesn't have a chance of getting Veep nod.
2008-01-08 22:21 < g666rl> Yert: you understand that that will never happen
2008-01-08 22:21 < NotACow> god
2008-01-08 22:21 < NotACow> ddue, you used the liver girl in the debates
2008-01-08 22:21 < Xihix> Wouldn't it be awesome if:
2008-01-08 22:21 < NotACow> GET SOME NEW MATERIAL
2008-01-08 22:21 < kenlyric> losers don't get a second chance.
2008-01-08 22:21 < TheWeasel> kenlyric: Bad luck?
2008-01-08 22:21 < TheWeasel> hah
2008-01-08 22:21 < g666rl> yah that liver girl is getting old
2008-01-08 22:21 < Xihix> since 40% of the votes haven't been reported yet, that Ron Paul gets 40,000 votes and wins New Hampshire?
2008-01-08 22:21 < NotACow> you can't fucking tell the same anecdote on EVERY FUCKING NATIONAL TV APPEARANCE
2008-01-08 22:22 < NotACow> i'm not drunk enough to watch election returns.
2008-01-08 22:22 < Evil_Monkey> why on CNN have Obama and Hilary suddenly jumped from 2 to 8 delegates from NH?
2008-01-08 22:22 < g666rl> Edwards groupies look very white
2008-01-08 22:22 < Mark_Ryan> because they now have enough votes between them to not get less than that number of candidates, Evil_Monkey?
2008-01-08 22:22 < TheWeasel> no doubt, Edwards is a white candidate. But his teeth are sharp.
2008-01-08 22:22 < Mark_Ryan> er, *delegates
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> and white
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> oh so very white
2008-01-08 22:23 < Xihix> SOMEONE HELP ME
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> Xihix: HEMLOCK
2008-01-08 22:23 < TheWeasel> yea, looks better on TV
2008-01-08 22:23 < Messedrocker> white white white
2008-01-08 22:23 < TheWeasel> white teeth I mean
2008-01-08 22:23 < Messedrocker> oh so very very white
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> THE TEETH! THEY GLEAM, THE DO!
2008-01-08 22:23 < Messedrocker> white like a marshmallow dipped in mayo in the snow
2008-01-08 22:23 < TheWeasel> *bling
2008-01-08 22:23 < Xihix> Who is a notable person who once said that he did something wrong, only to become more wise from it?
2008-01-08 22:23 < Messedrocker> eaten by john edwards and his very whitey wifey
2008-01-08 22:23 < g666rl> http://abcnews.go.com/politics/elections/state?state=NH http://election.cbsnews.com/campaign2008/state.shtml?state=NH http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229220/ http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#NH
2008-01-08 22:23 < Xihix> Ok, NotACow, whats your real name?
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> Xihix: moo!
2008-01-08 22:23 < Xihix> WHATS YOUR REAL NAME NOTACOW!?
2008-01-08 22:23 < NotACow> MOO!
2008-01-08 22:23 < Evil_Monkey> Mark_Ryan: ahhh so even if they got no more votes, they are guaranteed to above the percentage needed for 8
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> MOO!
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> MOOOOOOOOOO!
2008-01-08 22:24 < Mark_Ryan> Evil_Monkey, I think so
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> THE NEED FOR CHANGE
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> fuck change, i want LARGE BILLS dammit
2008-01-08 22:24 < g666rl> McCains wife lookss kinda nice
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> kucinich has the hottest wife.
2008-01-08 22:24 < g666rl> the need for speed!!
2008-01-08 22:24 < TheWeasel> Obama speaks more convincing rudiments of Southern than Edwards
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> TheWeasel: that comes from being raised in hawaii
2008-01-08 22:24 < NotACow> HEY I KNOW WHAT THE BIG UNIONS ARE
2008-01-08 22:25 < TheWeasel> he has this non rhotic thing
2008-01-08 22:25 < g666rl> TheWeasel: sometimes obama sounds too much like MLK
2008-01-08 22:25 < TheWeasel> leaving out rs
2008-01-08 22:25 < TheWeasel> g666rl: Without the quivering voice
2008-01-08 22:25 < NotACow> who's the guy with the odd head tilt and severe facial paralysis?
2008-01-08 22:25 < g666rl> thats my point, sometimes he almost quivers,
2008-01-08 22:26 < NotACow> i think he's trying to drill holes through the camrea
2008-01-08 22:26 < TheWeasel> he's polished his delivery, it sounds wonderful
2008-01-08 22:26 < NotACow> hey, his tongue moved
2008-01-08 22:26 < zocky> TheWeasel, kucinich & wife look like a shady balkanese businessman and his newly imported ukrainian wife
2008-01-08 22:26 < NotACow> zocky: haha
2008-01-08 22:26 < g666rl> did you see how Obamas daaugther was yawning durng his speech in Iowa?
2008-01-08 22:26 < TheWeasel> I dunno
2008-01-08 22:26 < Ceiling_Cat> where is the webpage that lists TOR exit nodes?
2008-01-08 22:26 < TheWeasel> Kucinich looks like someone I want to squeeze to see if it's really alive, then drink tea with
2008-01-08 22:27 < Evil_Monkey> oh noes, she was tired?! how dare she!
2008-01-08 22:27 < NotACow> i was so hoping that paul would beat guiliani
2008-01-08 22:27 < gwern> mm... tea
2008-01-08 22:27 < gwern> what kind?
2008-01-08 22:27 < g666rl> photo of Denniss wife?
2008-01-08 22:27 < gwern> the polonium laced kind?
2008-01-08 22:27 < Yert> Have any of those university towns reported yet?
2008-01-08 22:27 < g666rl> no
2008-01-08 22:27 < NotACow> TheWeasel: he has tea in his pocketes.
2008-01-08 22:27 < g666rl> but they are just 2000 votes
2008-01-08 22:27 < TheWeasel> maybe he smokes it alternately
2008-01-08 22:27 < zocky> TheWeasel, you mean dennis or the wife?
2008-01-08 22:28 < TheWeasel> Dennis
2008-01-08 22:28 < g666rl> she smokes him
2008-01-08 22:28 < zocky> i wouldn't mind squeezing her to check for vital signs. don't know about tea, though.
2008-01-08 22:28 < g666rl> smoke = serbian for blowjob
2008-01-08 22:28 < TheWeasel> they probably smoke blunts in the peace of their homes
2008-01-08 22:28 < zocky> g666rl, how come you know that? :)
2008-01-08 22:28 < g666rl> i have friends
2008-01-08 22:28 < zocky> (and it's really smokes to him, not smokes him, but ok)

2008-01-08 22:29 < Yert> Yay
2008-01-08 22:29 < g666rl> they told be this story how it happened in class
2008-01-08 22:29 < g666rl> the 5th grade
2008-01-08 22:29 < g666rl> for a bet
2008-01-08 22:29 < g666rl> told ME
2008-01-08 22:29 < gwern> g666rl: what interesting slang serbians have
2008-01-08 22:29 < g666rl> it was a really good story
2008-01-08 22:30 < NotACow> our governor is a serbian
2008-01-08 22:30 < NotACow> he'll be the fourth illinois governor to go to prison
2008-01-08 22:30 < g666rl> serbian teens have this game they call: Stone Faced Boy
2008-01-08 22:30 < zocky> g666rl, no they don't :P
2008-01-08 22:30 < zocky> they all just brag about it
2008-01-08 22:30 < g666rl> well they did anyway
2008-01-08 22:31 < zocky> nah, they made it up
2008-01-08 22:31 < zocky> it's a common story
2008-01-08 22:31 < g666rl> zocky: just because you couldn't get girls to play with you
2008-01-08 22:31 < g666rl> doesn't mean it dont exist
2008-01-08 22:31 < zocky> EVERYBODY says they did it
2008-01-08 22:31 < g666rl> ok
2008-01-08 22:31 < g666rl> how racist will america get if Obama is nominated?
2008-01-08 22:32 < NotACow> g666rl: no more than it is already.
2008-01-08 22:32 < zocky> i'm sure it's been tried, but it's nowhere near as common as claimed
2008-01-08 22:32 < TheWeasel> probably not very
2008-01-08 22:32 < Xihix> It's just not fair.
2008-01-08 22:32 < Xihix> Ron Paul... what happens now?
2008-01-08 22:32 < g666rl> i think its gonna be very racist
2008-01-08 22:32 < Yert> The PA governor is obease.
2008-01-08 22:32 < Messedrocker> what about ronald paul?
2008-01-08 22:32 < Xihix> he certainly won't win in South Carolina.
2008-01-08 22:32 < g666rl> they did it to Harold Ford Jr
2008-01-08 22:32 < Xihix> Is it over for him?
2008-01-08 22:32 < Yert> Well, he has lost some significant weight recently
2008-01-08 22:32 < Evil_Monkey> was it ever on for him?
2008-01-08 22:32 < TheWeasel> Serbia is possibly the only country ever led by a psychiatrist out of touch with reality.
2008-01-08 22:32 * Luna-San agrees with Evil_Monkey
2008-01-08 22:33 < Xihix> it looked like he had a good chance in New Hampshire.
2008-01-08 22:33 < g666rl> NotACow the 4th gov to go to JAIL?????
2008-01-08 22:33 < zocky> TheWeasel, that would be bosnian serb republic, not serbia
2008-01-08 22:33 < Xihix> America's freedom is gone.
2008-01-08 22:33 < TheWeasel> heh yea
2008-01-08 22:34 < TheWeasel> Rep Srpska?
2008-01-08 22:34 < g666rl> fuck
2008-01-08 22:34 < g666rl> fuck AP
2008-01-08 22:34 < uberpenguin> good lord
2008-01-08 22:34 < Yert> THEY PREDIC SHE WINS
2008-01-08 22:34 < zocky> TheWeasel, that's like saying that heider's party is in german government :)
2008-01-08 22:34 < Yert> HILLARY WINS
2008-01-08 22:34 < g666rl> fuck fuck
2008-01-08 22:34 < g666rl> this is not good
2008-01-08 22:34 < TheWeasel> Eh, taking it back.
2008-01-08 22:34 < quanticle> Yert, really?
2008-01-08 22:34 < Yert> "ASSOCIATED PRESS PREDICTS HILLARY WILL EMERGE AS THE WINNER!"
2008-01-08 22:34 < Yert> :O
2008-01-08 22:34 < TheWeasel> AP may be talking out of their arse.
2008-01-08 22:35 < Messedrocker> :O:
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> http://www.politico.com/nhprimaries/nhmap-popup.html
2008-01-08 22:35 < g666rl> they got it wrong about Chavez
2008-01-08 22:35 < Messedrocker> bi-directional gasping!
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> live stuff right there
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> this is the thing
2008-01-08 22:35 < Messedrocker> naomi campbell interviewed chavez
2008-01-08 22:35 < quanticle> New York Times says its still too close to call
2008-01-08 22:35 < TheWeasel> the democratic presidential election
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> the MOST POPULATED COUNTY in New Hampshire has yet to give their results
2008-01-08 22:35 < TheWeasel> lol
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> so
2008-01-08 22:35 < Xihix> there's a chance for anything
2008-01-08 22:36 < uberpenguin> NotACow: one of this week's reading assignments for a public policy class I'm taking is from wikipedia -_-
2008-01-08 22:36 < Yert> Yes-they have.
2008-01-08 22:36 < Yert> Manchester is the most populated
2008-01-08 22:36 < uberpenguin> this is why I hate soft sciences
2008-01-08 22:36 < g666rl> damn im calling for her too
2008-01-08 22:36 < quanticle> Yert: I think the race is still too close to call
2008-01-08 22:36 < Yert> Oh just call her
2008-01-08 22:36 < g666rl> who is the best against the REps ?
2008-01-08 22:36 < Messedrocker> uberpenguin, which policy?
2008-01-08 22:37 < Xihix> Yert
2008-01-08 22:37 < quanticle> Yert: AP was wrong in Bush v. Gore
2008-01-08 22:37 < Xihix> I thought the most populated was uhh
2008-01-08 22:37 < Xihix> Merrimack
2008-01-08 22:37 < zocky> of course hillary is going to win this
2008-01-08 22:37 < g666rl> uberpenguin: this is counting, not a SOFT science!!!
2008-01-08 22:37 < Yert> Xihix: NH has independent city/counties.
2008-01-08 22:37 < quanticle> zocky: Really? I think its still too close to call
2008-01-08 22:37 < Messedrocker> LOL merrimack!
2008-01-08 22:37 < zocky> unless there's a big reason for her votes coming in first, but doesn't look that way
2008-01-08 22:37 < uberpenguin> Messedrocker: "sustainability, technology, and society"
2008-01-08 22:37 < Messedrocker> >_<
2008-01-08 22:37 < uberpenguin> basically a bunch of talking about problems which have no solutions
2008-01-08 22:37 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Why is Merrimack such cause for lol
2008-01-08 22:38 < Messedrocker> quanticle, Karmafist
2008-01-08 22:38 < uberpenguin> bloody major requirements
2008-01-08 22:38 < Yert> ONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won New Hampshire's Democratic primary Tuesday night in a startling upset, defeating Sen. Barack Obama and resurrecting her bid for the White House.
2008-01-08 22:38 < TheWeasel> McCain only up five per cent now
2008-01-08 22:38 * g666rl sings: "She got the coastline, he got the highlands .. " thanks Billy Joel
2008-01-08 22:38 < uberpenguin> g666rl: I have no idea what you're on about
2008-01-08 22:38 < zocky> obama would need something like a 5-10% swing in the rest of the counties
2008-01-08 22:38 < quanticle> Yert: All I'm saying is Bush vs. Gore in 2000
2008-01-08 22:38 < Xihix> QUESTION:!!!!
2008-01-08 22:38 < Yert> http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/PRIMARY_RDP?SITE=KYB66&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
2008-01-08 22:38 < zocky> that ain't gonna happen
2008-01-08 22:38 < Xihix> ok, for someone like me who loved Ron Paul's policies
2008-01-08 22:38 < Xihix> who do I resort to now?
2008-01-08 22:39 < g666rl> uberpenguin: are you calling the statistics tonight a soft science???
2008-01-08 22:39 < LuciferTiger> Xihix: OBAMA
2008-01-08 22:39 < Xihix> obama?
2008-01-08 22:39 < quanticle> Osama?
2008-01-08 22:39 < LuciferTiger> yes. no more Qs
2008-01-08 22:39 < Yert> Osama?
2008-01-08 22:39 < TheWeasel> When in doubt, resort to name-calling
2008-01-08 22:39 < uberpenguin> g666rl: no, I'm calling public policy and sociology soft sciences
2008-01-08 22:39 < Yert> CNN called obama osama once.
2008-01-08 22:39 < quanticle> Yert: Too late
2008-01-08 22:39 < Xihix> aren't his policies and Paul's like completely different?
2008-01-08 22:39 < uberpenguin> though statistics is as soft as mathematics gets
2008-01-08 22:39 < g666rl> uberpenguin: and why do you hate that?
2008-01-08 22:39 < quanticle> uberpenguin: Yeah, with all that messy chance
2008-01-08 22:40 * quanticle likes statistics more than calculus
2008-01-08 22:40 < LuciferTiger> ron pauls policies though cool were impractical. obama is cooler and better.
2008-01-08 22:40 < g666rl> uberpenguin: only if you deliberately lie about what you compare
2008-01-08 22:40 * quanticle likes discrete math more than stats
2008-01-08 22:40 < TheWeasel> o.o
2008-01-08 22:40 < zocky> 85000 left to count, obama is 6000 behind, so he would need to win 6000 more than hillary, which would mean ~8%
2008-01-08 22:40 < uberpenguin> g666rl: only insofar as the statisticians I know aren't "real" mathematicians
2008-01-08 22:40 < g666rl> 85.
2008-01-08 22:40 * TheWeasel slowly realizes how *other* people reach their political decisions
2008-01-08 22:40 < quanticle> LuciferTiger: That whole gold standard thing would've flown like a lead (or gold) balloon
2008-01-08 22:40 < g666rl> 85.000 left???
2008-01-08 22:40 < uberpenguin> so they invented their own branch of statistics and called it industrial engineering, just to throw dirt in mathematics' eye
2008-01-08 22:40 < quanticle> g666rl: Yeah.
2008-01-08 22:41 < LuciferTiger> 85<COMA>000 left
2008-01-08 22:41 < g666rl> goddem it
2008-01-08 22:41 < quanticle> uberpenguin: Well, industrial engineering isn't just statistics, it also has differential equations and control theory
2008-01-08 22:41 < LuciferTiger> he might just sweep the college towns
2008-01-08 22:41 < uberpenguin> quanticle: let me have my oversimplifications
