I can't find the exact shot for comparison, sadly, but:

Bookmarks, yeah, except when you want to find something from a few weeks ago. Which is kinda lame, but comes up more often than you'd think!

wtf why is dominos.com asking me if I'm a Democrat or a Republican? Will the wrong answer get me a spunk pizza?

Like sicking a little bit of water into my mouth (HI DERE), Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:35 (fifteen years ago) link

Why are you ordering Dominos?

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link

It is my God-given right as an American to be fucking lazy and order a sub-par pizza from a place I know takes cards.

Like sicking a little bit of water into my mouth (HI DERE), Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Fair enough.

I worked there for five years and can't even smell Dominos anymore without turning my stomach.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:41 (fifteen years ago) link

fox sports saying the crowd reaction was mixed but that things "went well" for palin at the Flyers game

bloggers saying she got mad booed

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Video plz.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 October 2008 23:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh wait, found it:

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:00 (fifteen years ago) link

sounds more like they're playing the new Hair Police album at her

original dixieland jaas band (Curt1s Stephens), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:04 (fifteen years ago) link

I couldn't pick up boos (the sound is fried), but I saw the Obama/Biden signs behind her.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:05 (fifteen years ago) link

it sounds like they were playing music very very loud to drown out boos but you can def. hear cheers when she drops the puck

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:06 (fifteen years ago) link

We'll probably have to wait for on-site videoclips.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:09 (fifteen years ago) link

yes, i'm confident the audio will be much more clear on those

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:10 (fifteen years ago) link

use bookmarks u wusses

I do, and that's the problem...if you want to find a post that was from only minutes before your last bookmark you have to open the thread completely.

ILX MOD (musically), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link

A bit clearer:

carson dial, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link

that doesn't sound like a very friendly crowd to me.

ILX MOD (musically), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:19 (fifteen years ago) link

I could definitely hear the boos that time.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:20 (fifteen years ago) link

You can kind of tell from the pitch that they're booing.

dowd, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:23 (fifteen years ago) link

lol they are playing music so loud

♪☺♫☻ (gr8080), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:24 (fifteen years ago) link

this is exactly the reason btw that I have a hard time believing she will be on SNL; she will definitely get booed and I can't imagine that her handlers would put her in such an awkward position.

ILX MOD (musically), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:26 (fifteen years ago) link

SNL's off this week, right? No telling how much worse it would be for her in a week's time.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:28 (fifteen years ago) link

whether it's toughness or just monomaniacal fixation is a matter of opinion, i guess, but omg, who can walk out into a crescendo of booing hostility and not acknowledge it at all? rigid smile, cute little wave, back straight... pageant people are ruthless, i hear.

for a second i tried to imagine the scene if barack obama dropped the green flag at talladega, but then, that would be a really stupid thing to do, wouldn't it?

what were they thinking? why send her to philadelphia at all?

goole, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Because it is in Pennsylvania.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:38 (fifteen years ago) link

not the pennsylvania they're going to get!

goole, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:39 (fifteen years ago) link

although tv yeah yeah of course.

goole, Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:39 (fifteen years ago) link

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Sunday, 12 October 2008 00:41 (fifteen years ago) link

She would probably have had better luck at a Penguins game.

regarding the flyerz: don't forget that stadiums can crank in cheering noise /tinfoilhat

"The only way John is going to salvage the election at this point is if he does something drastic: if I were him I'd pledge that I was only going to serve one term, that I would put all my focus on fixing the economy and not worry about making hard decisions for the sake of reelection. Americans might see right through it as another hail mary, but I think it's the only shot he's got left."

oh yeah, they're booing. Just something so right about the sound of a hockey crowd booing, which is why you have a button for it on the table hockey games:

John Rogers had this comment, when talking about guys like Rich Lowry jizzing over the winking thing:

Modern American Conservatives have sunk to the intellectual and emotional level of the guy who thinks the stripper really likes him...

the RHETERIC (kingfish), Sunday, 12 October 2008 03:30 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm the wire monkey, not the soft monkey (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 12 October 2008 03:37 (fifteen years ago) link

It's so impossible to understand conservatives.

I wish I could remember which radio show I was listening to that was talking about a study they did with self-described conservatives... if you tell them a thing that they like, for instance that cutting taxes increases revenue, something like 30% of them say they believe it at face value. But if you provide evidence to the contrary, say from every economist and statistician on the planet, including people who work for Bush, they suddenly become more than twice as likely to believe it.

I think Tom has it right, it's all about that cave that they are right at this very moment alive in.

After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.
