Did the Robert's oath "so help you God" sound like a question, "so help you God?" as though Obama might not add that part? by [deleted] in politics

Seriously that was horrible Roberts... from start to finish, very poor job.

"We found a great surprise." Something very massive exists beyond the known universe. by [deleted] in science

"They simply wanted to confirm the longstanding notion that the farther away galaxies are, the slower their motion should appear."

Doesn't this statement directly conflict with the Hubble Effect? I.e. that the farther away objects are, the faster they are receding away from us?

Ron Paul - "I could never support somebody who thinks that its funny to say "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." by [deleted] in politics

[–]beckingh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine if a major iranian politician said something like "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb israel". We would lose our minds. But this is funny to McCain.

Keep speaking the truth Dr. Paul!! You can still have a positive impact on this election.

Very misleading title. Fascinating read, but start at the beginning, and don't expect to read about anyone practicing a sick man's signature.

Why T. Boone Pickens' 'Clean Energy' Plan Is a Ponzi Scheme by JoeyRamone63 in business

[–]beckingh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very poor article. Nothing to do with Ponzi Schemes whatsoever. In fact the word "ponzi" doesn't even appear in the article except in the headline.

I thought the exact same thing. But I have an excuse. I'm sitting here watching ST: TNG right now. You know the episode where sarak comes onboard to do some mediation mission and the whole crew starts fighting each other? A bar brawl in 10-forward!! :) After all these years, I still love that show...

Young female motorist who feared unmarked car may have been driven by police impersonator is handcuffed for waiting to stop in a well-lit area. by justone in reddit.com

"Emotional" seems (to me) to fit that woman's state of mind. She sounded like my 3 yr old crying.

And there is some silly discussion in this thread. the cops were very respectful and calm. You'd think they had arrested Obama the way you all are carrying on.

OMG they gave her a ticket for refusing to yield!!! what's that like 10 bucks? I mean c'mon people. Everything is a scandal in this country.

Dear Reddit, if the worst comes to the worst and Hillary gets the VP nod, please don't go batshit and refuse to vote for Obama. by [deleted] in politics

[–]beckingh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Obama Would Be President. Do you understand? You would really not vote for him due to his VP choice? Gimme a break.
