Least favorite music genre

Thanks for not including Blues... If you had, and if had even garnered one vote, I'd have had to have tracked that poster down and given them "what for".

Two factors make me side with the actor in this case. First is the demise of Rupert Everett, British actor who says that his career tanked after coming out as gay. Being gay didn't work with the sorts of roles that he was getting. Although I don't know if that's the primary reason his career tanked...

Being upset because someone(that you dont like) Using lines from a comedy film, a comedy film that basically everyone quotes, is the definition of butt-hurt. Maybe he thinks being associated with Ted Cruz is bad for his career? That can't be the case because nobody doesn't think that's possible. Oh...

It's not that you should feel bad about getting the time off, certainly not. But to feel entitled as some do. As compared to most in private industry, you've got good benefits, excellent time off, A great pension...

Obama passed an Executive Order on Friday, giving federal employees a half-day on Christmas Eve. My greedy co-workers (as subset of the whole) sent a petition asking for the full day, so they're butt-hurt.

when you realize their numbers are significant enough to sway a national election........ that's actually really sad.

I'm interested to see if Narduzzi goes with a personal connection that might be promoted from positions coach or an established offensive coordinator.
According to many 5AF posters, Dana Holgerson will be available.

He's tapping into all of the resentment towards government built up over the last few decades. That's some of it, but I think Trump's greatest asset is the backlash against "political correctness".
