He wouldn't survive a winter in The Peg. Maybe the west coast would work better for him. But seriously, even if most celebs were serious about moving here it's just not that easy. Though I suppose if they claim political asylum...Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
I still find it weird that I hadn't even heard of or been exposed to Cohen until this year...It was the music tournament that I first heard his name. I like a specific genre of music but I still listen to a range of things and always have.
Famous Blue Raincoat is one of my favorite songs of his.
One of my favorite artists... Not too long ago I posted my Top 30 of Leonard Cohen's songs here: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=1#post1000587
May he rest in peace.
just passing through to say Thank you to all you American veterans!

You just need to remove the "s" from https.

Here Bill... to make up for that... I'll share with you some Gremlin porn.
from today's car show... The gremlin's first time... She's not a virgin any more.
even though the mechanical is not totally done (putting in an electric high-flow radiator fan and racing shocks next week), and the cosmetics are yet to be started... It still got lots of attention from the crowd. It's not everyday people see a running Gremlin, much less one with a 360 V8 in it. (Well, I do... but most people don't).
Hubba, Hubba!!!! Wait!!! I think my penis moved!!! LOL LOL LOL

finally found an as-new original gas cap for it... been looking for one in perfect condition with no dents, rust or scratches for almost 2 years. Damned thing cost me over a 100 bucks though.
nah... that was probably just gas.
"cool" is not the word!!!

I don't give a hoot about the Gremlin. But for a second I thought you had Veronica Rodriguez in front of your car! That would be a coup for the Gremlin...and for you! Hope all is well!

Gremlin's are Hatchbacks... not coupes.
BTW... I didn't know who Veronica Rodriguez was... I'm really really glad I wasn't at work when I searched for pictures of her... But yeah... she does look like her.
You gave entirely new meaning to my original statement of gremlin porn
Now... I'm going to go spend some quality personal time searching for more Vagina Rodriguez pictures.
All,No, there wasn't. I was as disappointed as the Democrats are right now when Obama won the last two elections. Terribly disappointed, in fact. But you know what? I got up the next day and went to work. And the day after that I also went to work. I didn't make a lot of "flying the flag upside down" or "moving to Canada" statements. My side had lost a legal election and I had to deal with that fact. I didn't protest or riot. I am just amazed at the actions and statements that are going on right now. It won't change the results of the election.
I won't drag anyone into a political debate but I will try to make a general point that will hopefully differentiate the feeling this week versus '08 and '12 for Republicans ('00 and '04 for Democrats, etc, etc.). I hope it comes out the right way. I can't say some things b/c of where I work or who I work for but I can tell you that morale just took a deep dive.
Barack Obama was a sitting Senator with a vision for the country. He politely debated with John McCain and won a hard-fought campaign. And had McCain not brought Palin into the picture, he might have won the Presidency. Consensus from where I am. But Obama won. And after he won, nobody feared that freedom of the press would change. Nobody feared that "we oughta just bomb the hell out of them" would be the mantra for the Dept. of Defense. Nobody feared that historical allies would have to worry about a US commitment to treaties. Nobody had to tell their children why it is NOT OK to just grab a girl in the pussy. Nobody had to worry that we just elected a bald-faced liar...and a crook...or a bully...a racist...a xenophobe...a homophobe...a POOR businessman...because we didn't elect one in '08 or '12. I'm usually voting Democrat but I was open to alternatives until the Republican party nominated that person. I could have voted for Bush, Kasich, Graham. I could have voted for Romney. But the Republicans nominated "him." "Hey Russia, hack our institutions!" "Putin is a great guy!" That is why we are sick to our stomachs. He is a pig! He is thin-skinned. He will NOT help those in this country who need help. He will not return jobs to the US. The jobs lost in this country are 80% related to technological innovations that began in the auto industry in the late-70s/early-80s. He is PT Barnum. And 59M fell for it.
Barack Obama greatly disappointed me. He let me down financially and he could have been better politically. Perhaps then the gridlock could have somewhat been avoided. But I NEVER felt unsafe with him as the POTUS. I do worry now. And, as others have said, this will be my ONLY comment on Tuesday's election. Back to collecting books.
[QUOTE=Sir_Boomme;1031305][QUOTE=Johnny007;1031304]LOL, I know the difference between a hatchback and a coupe! Glad you found out what my coup meant...and I hope you have fun searching!
Can someone please remind me how exactly works the voting system in the USA?
Two candidates, citizens vote for the "senators" or something like this, one of the two sides.
The amount of senators are related to the amount of people in the related states.
The most amount of senators from one side, will define the president.
Something like this, right?
But then, how come someone that do not have the most votes becomes presidents? It's just sound... I guess that somehow he got more "senators" or something from his side, but that sounds weird to me.

IMO, anybody that do not bother going to vote, cannot complain about what is being done by the governement because they didnt give a fuck.I don't think you can make a definitive statement about "winning" the popular vote in this case (or with Gore for that matter) when that wasn't the deciding factor going in. There are a lot of people on both sides who don't vote because they are in a state that heavily favors one party or the other. I have family members in Texas who didn't vote because we all pretty much knew that Texas was going to go Republican. If they had voted they would have probably voted for Trump. And they would have voted if the deciding factor was going to be popular vote. So looking at the popular vote totals when the electoral college is the deciding factor may not be all that telling.
Also (as I'm sure all of you know) the electoral college is to make sure that the votes in less populous states like New Mexico and Maine actually mean something and don't get lost and obliterated by the more populous states. It isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future, IMO.
So, i believe that 49% didnt vote. None of this should be allowed to later complain about anything.

Just as the US is a representative government, in essence the electoral college are people elected to "place their vote" as a representative of their party for their winning candidate.
It's a quirky system installed by the founding fathers of the country to "balance" things between small states, and big states (population wise).
