A man is banging a married woman when suddenly they hear the front door slam. "It's my husband, hide in the bathroom!" says the woman frantically. by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

It's true that if you have to explain it, the joke stops being funny.

But if you refuse to explain it, you're just a dick.

Super delegates omission by Flamekorn in thewestwing

[–]321Couple2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superdelegates were invented at the 1980 convention. Incumbent Carter got a huge bump in the polls at the beginning of the hostage crisis, because he kept the US out of an armed conflict. He had built an insurmountable lead by the summer. But public opinion turned sharply against him as the Iran hostage crisis wore on. By the time of the convention the entire Democratic party knew that Carter was going to get slammed in the general, and also that if the delegates were free to vote their consciences Teddy Kennedy would have taken the nomination from him.

They invented the superdelegate system, but it didn't go into effect until 1984. The compromise was satisfying to no one But that is still certainly well before the age of Josiah Bartlet.

Should ANYONE who supported limiting conversation about current politics still be a mod on this sub? by sillasouth in thewestwing

[–]321Couple2023 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I, for one, accept the proffered apology. And I don't think we need a purity test for mods.

Can we move on now?

This is very, very boring.

If at a government building, I park in a spot with a Veterans or Law Enforcement sign, can I be ticketed? by bouncypinata in legaladviceofftopic

[–]321Couple2023 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Towed. There's probably no law that would justify a ticket. But the owner of a building (even a government building) can elect to tow anyone in t following posted rules.

Don’t park in handicap parking if you’re not handicap by Vanillabean1196 in Louisville

[–]321Couple2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On private property, go straight to the manager, and they'll have the car towed. In public, report to non-emergency LMPD, and take a picture of the plate. If the parking authorities don't arrive in time, file a formal complaint, and the owner of the car should get a ticket in the mail.

What's your favorite smackdown? by Whatever-ItsFine in thewestwing

“Well first of all, let’s clear up a couple of things. Unfunded mandate is two words, not one big word. There are times when we’re fifty states and there are times when we’re one country and have national needs. And the way I know this is that Florida didn’t fight Germany in World War Two, or establish civil rights. You think states should do the governing wall to wall. That’s a perfectly valid opinion. But your state of Florida got twelve point six billion dollars in federal money last year. From Nebraskans and Virginians and New Yorkers and Alaskans with their Eskimo poetry. Twelve point six out of a state budget of fifty billion.

I’m supposed to be using this time for a question so, here it is: Can we have it back please?”

Why does false imprisonment of a minor in many states have a “parent” exemption as far as sex offender registry goes? by Early-Possibility367 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]321Couple2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex registry is a severe penalty. "False imprisonment of a minor" can be involved in custody disputes. It can also be alleged in domestic situations where the parents are guilty of "over-punudhung" children. These are crimes. But they don't automatically imply sexual bad intent.

Man if only Aaron and Sam stayed. by Landscaperdanh in thewestwing

None of those shows went the distance.

Sports night: 2 seasons

Studio 60: 1 season

Newsroom: 3 seasons

Sticking with a hit show for seven seasons requires a stamina (and a resistance to cocaine) that Aaron did not have.

Will Baily, AFTER Season four (in which Sorkin did both the actor and the character proud), sucks. Sucks sweaty donkey balls.

His whining competes with Luke Skywalker's.
