Percentage is what matters though.

And, btw, no... none of it "matters". It's just a discussion. I don't have any huge point here other than just saying the numbers are interesting.

Sure. I get all that. However it's a very, very different political landscape today than it was in 1824 as well. I just found the number 2 million to be a shocking one. Hell, even 1.6% is shocking to me.

Clinton's popular vote lead widens to over 2 million... This has got to be the biggest margin of victory in the popular vote and still lose the election, right? 1824: Election was a disaster, but Jackson had 38,211 more votes than JQA. Margin was 10.44% 1876: Tilden had 252,666 more votes. Margin w...

Explaining the need for introspection and discussing why an election may have been lost is apologizing?

I still don't believe that there was voter fraud or it would be readily apparent by now. So dumb.

My boss is off today... told me yesterday if I get all my work done by 3:30-4:00 just leave. My work is already done. Now I just need to find things to do the rest of the day.

Did I break the board

Got you covered, bro.

COLE!

You'll note that no one here - outside of a Penn State fan - used the word "luck" in connection with that win.

that OSU win was a scratch off lottery ticket you hit big on

OSU>Michigan>>>Wisconsin>PSU

I'm not sure many would argue that.

where can i find wonton wrappers? i did a very cursory pass of giant eagle last night and could not locate

Sounds stupid, but at Wegman's they're in the refrigerated produce area. No clue why.

Oh man... Luca Caputi. Wonder what he's up to these days (off to the google machine).

PSU's blow out loss to Michigan does more harm than the Pitt loss, although neither help. If PSU wins the Big Ten, they will most likely make the playoffs since the Playoff committee has stated that conference champs get a leg up on non-conference champs. If they win the B1G championship (and that'...

You can come join us... provided you actually talk about football.

So what you're saying is that the loss to Pitt is going to keep PSU out of the playoff?

If everything works out in PSU's favor the next few weeks... possibly, yes.

Game 3 and 4 were fun. Game 8 was full of mistakes (which made it fun). Beyond that, the play itself has been a snooze fest.

If the thing is at full extension and the dog is 20' out in front of you 'control' is nonexistent. I use a retractable leash, but when I have my dog in a crowded area, that thing is locked in at the 6' range. I don't know many people that just allow the dog to walk willy nilly in crowded areas at t...

Yup... they were a really good club team, and decided to make the transition. This is their first year fully in NCAA division I hockey. They're about where PSU was 3 or 4 years ago.

I know, right?

Took the doggers to the vet today for his yearly check-up/shots/blood work and anal gland expression, and the vet detected a heart murmur :( She said that they rate them on a scale of 1 to 6, 6 being the worst and he's at a 1, and she said it's quite possible that it'll remain a 1 for 10 more years ...
