*doublepromote a single happy tear was shed

Pretty awesome for sure but I'm not so sure about the shed roof part. If she got tripped up in the basket and fell onto the concrete patio stones...yikes. Still nice to see a kid being encouraged to get outside and do something physical - she's pretty good at navigating those obstacles for a 5 year old!

Send in the clones. What happened to that plot staple? - Kamino spits out thousands of clones, made to fight and not shed a tear, none of this "feelings" crap.

Revenue from drug companies plays a major role in why the media doesn't even try to cover many stories, especially those that may shed a bad light on the products. There is no excuse for this schlock, and the "some people might need anti-depressants" nonsense in this video is sickening considering the extreme levels of over-prescription.

There are not "two sides" to this story. There are drug pushers, and they have money. The public is getting screwed left,right, and center on this issue.

Damn you VS for making me sign in.

"Genetically engineered" in the same way he was genetically engineered to be an idiot.... by selective breeding, which is not artificial genetic modification as he intends to imply.
Having just come home from visiting Iceland, and after visiting farms there, and also farms in New Zealand, I can say unequivocally that most farms in those countries are what you think of, peaceful sheep in large bucolic fields enjoying their lives and not being injured during once a year sheering of wool that's otherwise a problem for them to shed naturally. I won't speak to Australia, since I've never been there...maybe all sheerers are dicks there.
No farmer would accept the behavior shown, you can't sell wool from a dead or bloody sheep. He needs to get his theory straight...are they only interested in maximum profit, or do they abuse their animals without concern, because it can't be both.
If he really wants to do good for the animals of the world, he should refrain from breeding himself. His kids will probably wear nothing but fur when they leave home just to spite him.

Welcome to the sift. Congratulations on shedding the red p.

Yeah, I worried it might be faked, so I had my wife watch it for a female opinion. She told me the lady is either one hell of an actress or really is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Mark Blyth is one of the sharper tools in the shed. Upvoted.

Canadian here, have lived all across the country and have shed any and all regional dialects as a result. I studied "Standard North American English" in Uni, and sadly it just sounds like the news anchors of every major Canadian/American network. So Canadians and Americans in the larges urban centers have the same 'standard' and you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart. But there are fun local dialects like this in both countries.

This is obvious, but I'm pointing it out because I get tired of Americans not in 'the know' saying Canadians sound funny when really all 'country folk' in both countries have odd local dialects.

Great timing and execution in this show though.

Makes me tear up for some reason. I've always been curious why moments like these make me shed tears. Happiest moments but im all onions. *doublepromote

Very useful if you build a wood house and do wood work in general. Not really useful for a standard house, but maybe more like a cabin or work shed.

I got to disagree that they need the Tea Party vote... well they need the Tea Party's great love, Fox News, Rush. and all the other far right nutters, so they try to appeal to the Tea Party more specifically, but I think that's why they've lost the last two elections.

McCain, had he ran as the centralist candidate he has been in the Senate, was very electable. Unfortunately for the party he stepped to the right in his campaign to appeal to what would become the Tea Party. Then he went over the deep end by choosing a VP candidate that was certifiably crazy and too far to the right for the Nation to take seriously. All in an attempt to appeal to the far right.

Then the party mishandles Obamacare. Rather than own up to it, and say "hey, this is the same plan we tried to pass 3 times into federal law. The Democrats wanted a single payer system, Obama was promising a government option, but they in the end took our plan." Instead they try to run the thing into the ground, and build on the far right anger over it, rather than appeal to where the Nation actually was. Obama's re-election was largely because of Obamacare, something the party and it's media machines like Fox don't understand. To be fair in 2008, I don't think anyone could have predicted the rise of Obama, but the fact his message took off so well, should have been a sign to the Republican party the country was trying to move back to the center from the pull to the right of the Bush years.

Romney could have ran with that further, saying how Romneycare is the model for Obamacare and that his state was the one who really started the ball rolling. Romney as he was as governor was far more electable at the national level than the Romney we got during the campaign... and again there is an appeal to the Tea Party with a Washington Insider but solid Tea Party member in Ryan.

The Republican party has a near solid slam dunk if they put up Rubio/Kasich ticket. It's a moderate ticket that has broad appeal to the masses of America without making most liberals/progressives so afraid that they'll show up in droves the way a Trump ticket does (or a Cruz ticket to a slightly smaller extent). The far right would still vote for Rubio/Kasich over Clinton/Sander (or Clinton/Warren, Clinton/Kucinich... she needs a solid, well known progressive to give her the best chance of winning), so the Rubio/Kasich is safe from all sides.

I agree though, a Trump ticket spells doom for the party period. Not only do they loose the Presidential election, the fact so many Republicans fear Trump's near Fascism will mean they might stay home, and the liberals/progressives will show up in greater than normal numbers to insure he doesn't win, which means a possible to likely loss of control of the Senate. Cruz won't scare away the Republican base as much, but still bring out more liberals/progressives than normal, which likely means a loss of the Presidential election, but perhaps not as much of a loss of the Senate. A Rubio/Kasich combo ticket is safe and gives the best broad appeal... or course if they did go Rubio, they'd tie him up with a Tea Party candidate to pull those votes in, as they don't understand they need to really shed those people and let them form their own party... I think they fear that Fox News, Rush and the like will follow the new Tea Party line rather than the mainstream Republican party and they want that attention... they are so wrapped up in the echo chamber now they don't see the nation is far more to the center than they are willing to go. The fact that Obama is far closer to Regan era style Republicans than most anyone in the race today speaks volumes to how disconnected the party is from reality.

Meanwhile, I'll wish for a Sanders/Warren or Sanders/Kucinich ticket... though realistically, he needs a young moderate up coming Democrat to broaden his appeal... and let's face it, odds are it'll be Clinton, whom I fear the Republican's first day of action will be to try an impeach her over the email and Benghazi... I mean we've had what? 3 or 4 times as many hearings on how she handled Benghazi than we had over 9/11, even though there are tons of fishy things going on with that too (without having to go into crazy conspiracy theories). So go... Clinton/Sanders or Clinton/Warren.

RIP, David Bowie. May you find your blackstar. You've given us such a parting gift, shown us unflinching artistic integrity and shall be greatly missed. <sheds solitary tear>

Or he could try shutting the door to his shed.

Looks like a log cabin and shed just below where that bolder stopped
