An employee of the state Republican party I once visited has a "Don't blame me , I voted for Romney" sticker on his cubicle. Someone beat us to it. I remember being mystified at the time. Saying that about Mitt, of all people, seemed impossible, even for the most blindly partisan. About Gore, I can understand, along with Kerry. But Romney? Edit: A quick Google search indicates that the most popular "Don't blame me..." stickers right now are Romney, followed by Ron Paul.

Ninjasaurus posted:Actually, that "two different endings" story is just a rumor and has been debunked. The idea that the two different endings story is false is also an incorrect rumour. The myth was that Godzilla wins in Japan, when in fact it's more of a tie. The Japanese and American versions are slightly different, where the Japanese version has Godzilla's roar at the end of the movie and some dialogue implying that he survived the battle, while the American ending does not. Abel Wingnut posted:What's Bill's Romney-like gaffe in that debate video? When he talks about knowing the owners of factories that go out of business, and not talking about the workers there. Romney had a similar gaffe when talking to a group of NASCAR fans and mentioning that some of his friends own NASCAR teams.

Well... you sure showed me.  (I've only seen the Japanese version anyways.)

I assume they meant Sumer...since the founding of Babylon was as distant from Sumer as we are from Julius Caesar (give or take a few hundred years). This caused some confusion... I guess they were yelling at the young earth creationist for saying the extent of recorded history was only 5,000 years. It's more like 7,000 I guess?

Yeah it was me, I meant Sumeria but blanked on the name so I went with Babylon because I was too lazy to Google.

My mom voted for Obama, but she definately had a "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Bush" sticker in 1993. Her reasoning was more like Marge Simpsons than anything.

Lote posted:In the interview, she casually drops the fact that "all of recorded human history" is "about 5000 years." Somehow this, young earth creationist viewpoint is not even close the most ridiculous statement out of that interview. Not going to find much "recorded" human history past the 2000s BCE. Archaeology can tell us a ton, but people in 8000 BCE weren't exactly writing down much.

Still not sure why you guys didn't vote Enkidu 2012. Sure he didn't win, but you would not believe the amount of hookers and beer Gilgamesh sent Enkidu voters.

Warcabbit posted:I just thought it meant her mom made both dresses. Nah, there's a whole segment of industry devoted to matching girl and doll clothes. Typically they're very frilly/fancy dress up clothes, too. It makes sense why an eight year old would pick that outfit as a party dress, which it would have been had things gone like she obviously expected them to go. I realize this is the second time in a week I'm coming in here with Santorum apologia, so don't make a mistake: The guy is a monster for his policies, but his kids were acting like kids in that picture and his grief at losing a child is a horror I only had the barest taste of, and I wish it on no one.

I can't believe he wasted all that money on Gilgacare and in the end it got eaten by a snake. Or a private contractor. Depending on the version you believe.

And yet the GOP will struggle fielding a candidate even as credible as that malfunctioning cyborg.

BEEP BOOP RUN HUMAN SIMULATION PROGRAM LV. 1 I like the part where Ann is like "I don't think people understand his sense of humor" Of course not you crazy shithead, it's the humor of a quarter-billion dollar Mormon who has a half dozen houses in nearly as many states one of which has a loving car elevator. It's the humor of a man who casually challenges you to a ten thousand dollar bet like it's loving penny stakes. Of loving course people wouldn't understand it.

There needs to be a sitcom where mitt is forever trapped into running for president against his will. ANN: Yes, yes. This polling trend that she's come up with, honey, this-this is gonna be the new victory path for 2016. You're gonna be the third Mormon nominee! MITT: But I don't wanna be the nominee!

He's got it locked. He stares up in horror. How many times is this? 10? 100? He can't remember. It just keeps happening. And when he begs, pleads, the audience not to give him the nomination again the audience politely chuckles as though they just heard a folksy anecdote. By the end of the six hour run time there's a totally placid Charlie Rose getting screamed at by a man who's stuck like a needle in the record of time.
