One owns a Nintendo console for the Nintendo games. There is no other reason, but that is reason enough.

I don't understand how there has not been a concentrated effort to out him. I have to conclude that he really isn't gay, he just has cliched gay mannerisms. I would think, though, that an evangelical Christian would want to change or suppress those mannerisms. I don't know, maybe he's just an antiquated Southern gentleman.

I've never really liked the Halo games, though I've bought and completed them all. I think Halo 4 is the best in the series, and honestly one of the best games I've ever played. But, I think it disappoints the traditional Halo fan.

Thanks, Obama!

Anyone want to help us get back on topic here?

Sure. Obama is scheduled to give a speech tomorrow elucidating the legal framework of his Administration's counter-terrorism policies. This is a timely speech after last week's disquieting Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Not only does the military seemingly assume the 2001 AUMF authorizes them to pursue groups only tangentially related to al-Qa'ida, but the Senate, surprise, has utterly neglected its oversight responsibilities. Given the fluidity of terrorist groups, I'm curious as to how Obama proposes to address the ambiguity of statutory authorization of military force against emergent threats. Or perhaps he thinks the status quo is satisfactory-which would be ominous.

I have no clue. I only played Dishonored and Arkham City last year. I enjoyed those.

Too bad. My friends and I wasted many hours on Halo in high school. Wonderful memories.

Give me those infrequent but massively fun Halo 1 LANs over playing the newer Halos against anonymous 14 year old kids on XBL.

Ah, those were the days, my friend. Having to run an ethernet cord across the apartment and find LAN games on XBOX connect. I sound like an old man... yikes.

Keep your dirty government out of saving my kids lives


“This is a red state,” said state Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City, who has introduced several unsuccessful bills in the state Legislature to require so-called “safe rooms,” shelters or anti-tornado construction in homes and trailer parks. “People don’t like anything that is mandated. They don’t like it when the government says they have to do something.”

Off-topic, but Major Nelson is doing his best Iraqi Information Minister impersonation right now on Yahoo live chat. Complete non-answers and deferrals. Why bother? MS PR for this reveal has been a mess.

I'm a programmer/support guru for a software collective in Texas. We produce ERP software for niche vertical markets, mostly hardware stores, furniture stores, and medical supply places -- companies with huge inventories that do lots of online B2B sales.

I used to be a project manager for Intuit, before I went batshit crazy.

(And it's totally soft-G)

Edit: Also a published writer and musician.

So, the article does say that none of them except for al-Awlaki were being targeted. Can we never ever hit al-Qaeda targets just because an American citizen might be there training with them?
