Sooner- your post gave me pause and I think you've converted me. I grew up with conservative leaning parents.  I've always considered myself socially liberal, fiscally conservative.

I love Newsroom!

If Jesus had voted in this last presidential election, He would have voted for Obama.

I think this is ridiculous. And it'd be ridiculous if you said he would have voted for Romney. Jesus wouldn't have voted and he would have called out both candidates for their many faults.

My UO? It's ridiculous how concerned the country is with social issues when we have serious economic issues smacking us all in the face. 

On a related note, I wonder how many people who claim we should be giving more money to and supporting federal/state programs are actually having money taken from them during tax season.

Wow, so much more to comment on since I got back from Pump it Up! 

Sooner...   I'll leave it at that.

I love the WYBH thread!  Now, if everyone was posting Brad Pitt it wouldn't be interesting but it's totally cool to see different peoples taste.  And I will agree with Lancy that nobody is actually going to go bang these guys... even if we were single how would we meet them? 

And I don't care if you don't want to hear it Nates, I would NOT care if DH commented in a thread like that, cause he bangs me almost every night, not them.

uws... agreed, I am sure my DH would post a picture of boobs, a butt and long legs and just call it a day.

Oooo I am LOVING sooner tonight Brava!

And, Lena, FWIW, I know many people, myself included, who pay a pretty penny in state and federal taxes and do not begrudge a more liberal fiscal plan.

Aaaaaaaand I can't dual quote from my phone, but MollySm... I ADORE Newsroom! Will McAvoy for President, I say!

Black Friday is ridiculous. It's like The Hunger Games: The Retail Version. Just call me Katniss. I refuse to fight to the death overnbsp;low priced material items.nbsp;I'd rather pay full price than ever go shopping on BF.

That's why I wait for Cyber Monday. I can get my discounted presents from the comfort of my couch and avoid the carnage.

To clarify, I don't dislike it (or whatever you want to call it) because I seriously think action is going to be taken. I don't.

Last black Friday I did my shopping on-line. I got everything I wanted from Kohl's with free shipping too. Was so glad I didn't go out! (Was a little scared to go out pregnant).

Sooner, I really like and enjoy the point of your UO, but I agree with Lena. He wouldn't have voted for either. He would've voted for Gary Johnson. Duh. Insert winky face

You and I need to get together and watch some TV... West Wing is the BEST!  I keep meaning to rewatch it.  Our good friends just powered through the DVDs - I think it took them a good 9 months!

How's this... If we don't get our head out of our asses about the state of the environment - NONE of the other stuff matters.

Super bonus - If we invest in saving/protecting the environment - we are guarenteed to start new industries which will help the job market and the economy.

And if we don't concern ourselves with social issues, take care of our poor, sick, adults and children, if we discriminate, if we don't take care of the environment, I'd rather we not improve the economy!  Money = power in this world, and I'd rather we not have all that power if we don't think the social issues are important.

I am with you on the social issues - 100%.

 But, for the sake of arguement, if I had to choose just one - it would be our environmental crisis. Without a planet that can sustain life - none of it will matter. And I think we can agree that events like Sandy caused a new slew of "social issues" that now need resources.
