In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Henry Waxman is retiring. A thoroughly decent bloke who looks like Mr. Potato Head.
It's not that surprising though is it? The nomination is mainly about money and connections, which both those families will have in spades. Bush was definitely thought of as a contender a year or so back, and I imagine that Christie's recent problems will make it even likelier. Maybe Red Dreams is right about the Bush name being more of a hindrance these days, though.
We have the Gandhi's in India, who weirdly are not related to the original Gandhi.
A few bullets and Teddy's bad driving kept them from reaching their full potential. Well that and the explosion that killed the oldest brother who was the one Papa Kennedy had been grooming to be a President. Could have had a real Kennedy run in the White House. Joe then John then Bobby and who knows without drunk driving then Teddy.
I think the Bush/Clinton thing right now shows how centralized power has become within both political parties. Though Obama was able to throw a wrench in Hillary's plans delay them for 8 years.
If Hillary does not win the Presidency this coming election cycle, watch out for Michelle Obama.
Can't wait for Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi to rock up to the elections
Mind. Blown.
Many don't realize that.
There's a rumour going around in Florida that Iraq has chemical weapons...
they are all related to Nehru in fact....
Heartland Institute is at it again with more bullshit and USA Today is aiding them. USA Today have seemingly gone right-wing rogue of late. A certain James Taylor, a lawyer with no scientific credentials, was allowed an opposing op-ed to an editorial about global warming (albeit I am unsure if any scientific credentials are applied to whomever concocted this piece).
Anyone remember these billboards?

O' Reilly going on about Benghazi and badgering/interrupting Obama like a boor.
What is this shite about tax in Cincinnati?

Hell, politicians don't even set political agendas anymore, they're just actors reading scripts from some think tank, sponsored by some parasitic billionaire.
Was just sent this - thought there might be interest on here to see it.
"FULL VIDEO – Edward Snowden on German TV – US Media Blackout
This interview with Edward Snowden was shown on German television then subsequently blocked from US networks. No major news outlets are covering this story. The video is immediately taken down every time it’s posted on Youtube and Vimeo has been under possibly related DDOS attacks."

SB 1062 that Brewer vetoed a few days ago. Surely no one here would deny that the bill is madness cloaked in "religious liberty", right?
I wonder how Gannicus feels about this issue.
What was the bill about?
The bill would've allowed businesses to refuse service to gays and others based on religious beliefs.
the same people would like to refuse service to blacks too....
ahhhh for the good ol days.....
ahhhh for the good ol days.....
Oh, I see. So, theoretically, if I owned a gay bar and I wanted to refuse service to someone who tried to enter while holding a bible and wearing a shirt that said "Gays are going to hell" - would that be okay, or no?
The Tea Party doesn't hate Obama because he is black. They hate him because he took their guns.......oh, wait , he didn't. They hate him because he raised their taxes......oh wait, he didn't. They hate him because he took their health insurance.....oh wait, he didn't. They hate him because......uh.....uh....uh..
So, in your eyes, there isn't a single legitimate reason to dislike Obama policies...?
In his eyes? Not a freaking chance......
He didn't say they dislike Obama's policies, he said they hate Obama. Which, to me at least, is patently true.
Probably as I think fancy dress is something popular amongst gay folk.
People hated George Bush. Was that because it was white? No, I'd say mostly because he had horrible policies that affected them. The same is possible for Obama.
Touche!
give their legitimate reasons....
disliking Obama's policies does not size up with the pure hatred the tea party displays.

wow..only non whites hated Bush? did not know that?
They hated Obama when he'd barely entered the White House, they resented him purely being there. And incidentally I don't think it's because he's black, I think it's because they generally regard him as an outsider. He's un-American in their eyes.
So only non-blacks hate Obama... Didn't know that either!
Who's 'they'? Because most Tea Party members have clearly shown where they disagree with Obama politically. The economy, healthcare, social security and some on foreign policy - depending on who you ask.
They might be wrong, in your opinion, but it's not about his race, for the most part. I'm black and I dislike most of what Obama has done so far.
Yeah, it's been a right ol' exchange of rational views for the most part on policy. Calling him a communist, the frequent referral to his middle name, the absurd birther theories etc - all just gentle joshing.
poor argument....you have seen as well as me...the ridiculous insane rantings and signs of your all white tea party.
come on...you must try harder.
EDIT: disagreeing with polices is vastly different from hating a President for who is.
Still waiting to see where you saw non-whites displaying hatred for Bush.

all normal for the White People's Party...err I mean the Republican party.
another poor argument.
if a white guy went to a restaurant wearing a t shirt saying He Hates N....s...should he be served?
You are saying it is alright to legislate bigotry...which is what those laws are? The Civil Rights Act was enacted just to prevent things like this happening.
the fact is the Republican party with its dwindling number needs these racists who hide behind the tea party and other similar factions. Where have we seen the GOP condemning such naked hatred. nowhere. They excuse these cretins...because they need their votes.
Fox News does not equal the opposition.
Edit, just to clarify, I'm sure there are people out there who 'hate' him for those reasons. But you have to be very arrogrant and/or very stupid to believe that anyone who hates/dislikes Obama can only do so for those reasons.
