Question: When is New Year over?

In more pedestrian news, there's the question of West Wing plotlines.

Wednesday will teach us that Santos is the Democratic nominee (or at least it had better be. If they subject us to that twit Vice President for several months of episodes during the general campaign, I'm turning in my Aaron Sorkin "Legalize Pot Now!" card.)

This will pit Santos against Vinnick, who is Hollywood's dream Republican candidate. Only in Hollywood would we get a pro-choice, warm, fuzzy, centralist candidate who rejects religiosity his campaign. It tests one's ability to suspend disbelief, but OTOH you could actually see Vinnick "winning" and giving Hollywood an outlet to tell 4 years of stories about what they'd like to see a Republican president to be like.

My $0.02 says Santos wins, if for no other reason than to avoid introducing a completely new Administration and cast, and tossing out so many SAG members onto the street by Xmas.

Constructive Criticism is always nice!- I'm not sure I want to take either on, and will only do so when necessary- but I won't take on both- you can't find that two front war.

Almost sounds like a certain governor.

Thurgreed is a bit of a ruffian but I am a real pussycat. I have decided to follow the golden rule. That post wasn't a personal attack on the mmmmmmmmmmmmster, but a defense of the translantion genre. If I were still uttering foul truths that are mainly correct, I would say that he tends to be a bit defensive and takes everything a touch too personally. But one thing I have learned from the FB is that one cannot cure another's psychological flaws by repeatedly pointing them out. So I have decided to accept people as they are, and try to understand the troubles that they have experienced that have made them the way they are.

Pray jesus.

SEATTLE - Former NBA star Shawn Kemp was arrested early Monday after officers stopped a pickup truck he was in and found what appeared to be marijuana and cocaine, authorities said.

The county sheriff’s office said the arrest happened in suburban Shoreline after an officer smelled marijuana while talking to two men in a pickup. The officer found what appeared to be a small amount of cocaine, about 60 grams of marijuana and a semiautomatic pistol, the sheriff’s office added.

Them drugs'll kill ya.

"I'll be back" is not fuzzy. In fact, nothing with that accent is warm OR fuzzy.

RT, shouldn't your question have been "When WAS New Year over?"

paigow, "ruffian"? following the golden rule? who has your login, and how much did you get for it?

that sounds good and all, but for several of these people i don't want to know the personal problems that left them this way. often at work, sometimes right after reading posts, I need to interact with humans beings on a professional level, and I don't want to hinder my ability to trust and open up.....

oh and edit- I was trying to sound like a mentor, which is a positive thing

You need to disclose the date of your most recent flea dip if you are to have any hope of being held.
