The Politics Thread
I stand by my statement. If you support a party that takes a government surplus, hands out tax cuts for the rich that creates whoppers of deficits, and then turns right around and says "look ma, we have no money! We have to cut programs for the poor!" and then comes back further with "P.S. It is unfair that the rich pay as much as they do, screw the poor, we want blood from a stone on top of our record profits", then that is your business. I don't even know how else to describe the tax and budget policies of the last 12 years or so, and if you don't find Orrin Hatch sickening, then shame on you too. And as for R vs D and the quality of the candidates, I will look at the quality of any republican who repudiates the tea party, creationism, and supply side economics. You know of any?

It's truly a party of evil. On the one hand they want tax cuts for the rich and create the debt from Clinton surpluses, and on the other they complain and want the poor to pay more to finance their tax cuts and debt which was created from their tax cuts and wars of choice based on lies. It's sickening, they are sickening, and anyone who votes for them is sickening too.

How ominous. Thankfully, she has no chance of winning, so here is hoping she gets the nomination.

The Tennis Thread
It's really strange how these days 29 is considered old. Jimmy Connors at 39, it what may be the most thrilling moment in all tennis history. It was so exciting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AuBGmLw1ZY I think the athletes are going to end the careers younger and younger because all the training and ultraconditioning just takes too high a toll on the body. Nadal will need new knees by 50.

I am so geeked out I even got an official GoT t-shirt from HBO. They didn't have all the characters, because I would have gotten Joffrey in a heartbeat

HBO: Game of Thrones
Oh, theories are fine. I said way back I think that Jon Snow is gonna wind up being the son of the dead king because he out of nowhere has black hair. The King had an affair with Ned's dead sister and for some reason or another, Ned took the baby to protect him from the evil blond family. He has raised him ever since, but Mrs Ned has no idea.

I am trying not to read your posts because I see talk about Jon and I am looking away. If it is something not already aired on TV, I hope you are placing it in spoiler captions anyway, just in case it hasn't been brought over, there is now a case of costume drama crossover

I might check this out one day, it should be interesting.

HBO: Game of Thrones
I honestly don't understand why we spent 10 weeks with Drogo. His speech a few weeks back was pretty cool and I was all set to watch him kill people and make the kids slaves and all, and that's it? he just dies? Anyway, I like how Robb is now the OtherKing, he sure has come a long away from glorified extra #2. I think he is my favorite of the Starks.

This was good, but a bit of a let down from last week. Alas poor Drogo, we didn't know him well.

HBO: Game of Thrones
I think my favorite character is now Rob, the oldest Stark son, whatever his name is. He has really stepped up the last couple of weeks and it looks like he is going to be the new hero of the show. I have to admit I love Joffrey, the little [!@#$%^&*] that he is. He just makes me laugh. And I love his mother and she gets all the best scenes I think. I watch this show completely unspoiled, don't even see previews for the next episode, so everything is a surprise to me. I notice when the imp was with the girl playing the game of fire she didn't burn, so I wonder if she somehow is a sister of Khaleesi who had her hair dyed black to keep her hidden and safe. Oh, and here is a list of GoT's emmy submissions Interesting they consider Cersei a Lead, but Kate amd Dany supporting roles.

HBO: Game of Thrones
I think so. Unless that guy just missed totally. One thing I will say is you can see the limits of TV this episode. Had this been a movie we would have been treated to epic war scenes. On TV it all happened off camera. That was a bit of a disappointment because they had discussed the battle so much.

I loved it. I love a good twist. I don't know who it is that plays King Joffrey, but that kid cracks me up. He is just so perfect in his role, and he looks like he is 16.

HBO: Game of Thrones
sorry to be crude HOLY [!@#$%^&*]! I don't know what else to say that can sum up my reaction to this episode. The glories of being spoiler free. I am shocked.

The Politics Thread
I can't stand Newt, but his own party did a terrible wrong to him. His big crime was giving his honest opinion on the Paul Ryan plan, and for that he is being run out of town on a rail. So much for wanting honesty in our politicians.

HBO: Game of Thrones
another good episode. I always love when the pet wolves get something to do. I want a dire wolf of my own. I also like that the other son is getting stuff to do as well as the other daughter and not just the sword daughter. How many more episodes are there?

such a beautiful summer evening tonight, reminded me of this outdoor cafe in Marina Del Rey and the retro music they used to play <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WpePWo56zm4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YxzUvAQmoDM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fdov2UIjUpY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8AyBIx01yU8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

HBO: Game of Thrones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-6_WRDROdM This has to be the best scene I think. The actor, whoever he is, does a really great job spouting gibberish and making it sound like a language and that he is able to work himself into a frenzy speaking nonsense sounds. You almost want to see him kill the men, rape the women and take the children as slaves, he is just that cool. (no offense to men, women and children)

HBO: Game of Thrones
This was such a great episode. I am not sure which I liked more, the Queen and Stark talking verbal smack, or Drogo having such a cool rant. I think Drogo gets the MVP for this episode.
