  1. As an enthusiast of Jane Austen movies and mini-series, how hard am I going to fall for this? It's a campy blend of two totally different genres. Just go with it. My wife loves Jane Austen and thought this was silly but fun. Did they treat it like an apocalypse, or just treated zombies like part of everyday life like in the book? Part of the charm of the book was how the zombie apocalypse was kinda second fiddle to aristocratic affairs. More the latter. Ok. I'll definitely have to check it out.
  2. It's pretty remarkable how Ali is now seemingly seen in a near-universally positive light but in his heydey he was the most divisive athletic figure of his time due to his war protests, civil rights stance, and Islamism. Then there's his mouth. He definitely helped change society.
  3. Boo hoo hoo. Way to play the victim card. In all seriousness, get a grip. Let's see here. I posted three paragraphs to support one point. You chose to take one of those, absent the context of the other two, and get a little zinger in. That means that despite your impressive command if the English language you either failed to grasp the point I was making or just wanted to get a little zinger in. Since I seriously doubt it was the former all I can say is hope you got a chuckle out of it at least. And where did I say I had an impressive understanding of the English language? I stated that I had a GENERAL understanding and BASIC command of the English language. Gee whiz folks! And yes, I wanted to get the zinger in. But I have to admit that I was more than a little put off by you actually insinuating that Obama has victimized you and that people like you don't break out in protest, assault, and riot over your perceived slights, because you're not animals. That's the Minority Victim in me lashing back out.
  4. You have a problem with me? Engage me directly rather than taking pot shots.
  5. That's a reach. Nice try.

  7. Rumble in the Jungle. Rope-a-Dope.

  9. I identify as a Democrat. However, that doesn't preclude me from voting for an independent/third party candidate or break from the party line on individual issues. That being said, It's expedient for me to align with the Democratic Party because I believe in the over-arching platform of the party and it's organizational ability to coalesce in a united front --a government that is generally consistent with my social, civil, and political world view and values.
  10. Thank you for your most timely and appropriate interjection, Bartimaeus but yes, I have a general understanding and basic command of the English language. I'll be sure to never make an irreverent post outside of the basketball thread again. <-- This was mild sarcasm.
  11. The futures market on a Clinton indictment is overwhelmingly and resoundingly NO. https://www.predictit.org/Contract/1792/Will-a-federal-criminal-charge-be-filed-against-Hillary-Clinton-in-2016#data If you're so absolutely sure about an indictment, make yourself a good buck and put down a YES. You'd currently be getting better than 3-1 on ROI.
  12. LeBron deserves to be bashed. His team lost and he got outplayed by the Warriors' bench. This is Kerr bashing LeBron.
  13. Let's be real here. Clinton"s lead with he normal delegates is virtually insurmountable and the superdelegates aren't going against the will of the people and pledge their votes to the candidate who is behind by millions of votes. There will be no contested convention. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-will-likely-clinch-the-democratic-nomination-in-new-jersey/

  15. The latest NBC/WSJ/Marist poll has Clinton with a 49-47 lead over Sandrrs with a +/- of 4.2. Most polls have Clinton leading, but within the error range. Won't matter anyway because Clinton is going to clinch the nomination in New Jersey before the voting even closes in California. Remember, in the Democratic Primaries, it's not winner take all --delagates are assigned based on the voting and Clinton is about to clinch.
  16. Yeah, well...it's not like Bernie doesn't have bad shooting nights either.
  17. The Ringer's scouting report on Uncle Benjen. Unselfish with the rock but juiced on Obsidian.
  18. Bernie's pretty decent in the paint. But Obama's got all-around game.
  19. Dawn?? King Tut was the Sword of the Morning!?!
  20. Last night, Bernie was at a venue filled to capacity with 20,000 people with many of the Bay Area's elite (actors, politicians, music stars, sthletes, billionaires etc.) present. He was sitting next to Danny Glover and this was probably the most anonymity that he experienced since the Primaries began and he genuinely seemed to have a great time being one with the crowd. Just a man enjoying the breads and circuses and reveling in the spectacle of sport for a couple hours. I was there, and had no idea he was even in the building until my Twitter feed told me so. Eventually spotted him.
  21. Welp. "DPRK News Service DPRK News Serviceā€ @DPRK_News Noble Philosopher Donald Trump praised as sharp-eyed mountain eagle, sent by heaven to strike down villains and evildoers from high above. May 31, 2016, 9:21:27 AM" https://mobile.twitter.com/DPRK_News/status/737680400013795328
  22. The Warriors are indomitable. No double digit lead is safe. Being up 3-1 in the series is meaningless. Even Bernie knows it. https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/737492131389005824
  23. Bernie is a man amongst the people.
  24. Remarkable episode. No boobs were shown and no one was killed.
  25. Dude, it's the Warriors. Not a choke job when the Thunder are CLEARLY the inferior team. PS Andre Iguodala for President.
