  • To Segway ?

    Not being a native English speaker I was intrigued by David’s correction of Emily's supposedly incorrect use of the verb To Segue, so I looked it up (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/segue) and there it was. Could this be an unconscious/conscious move to discredit the female of the group? First the hot mike last week and now this? Very ...

  • US is 3rd in oil production!!!

    In Friday's podcast, Emily stated the US is not a major producer oil. In fact, the US is the third largest producer after the Saudi Arabia and Russia. See attached reference link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chart-of-Oil-Trading-Nation_inverse.GIF

  • Re: PLEASE get rid of Plotz

    Ahh, I think you're being a little unfair. Part of the pleasure of listening to any debate is hearing differing viewpoints from people who still have respect for their fellow debaters. There must be plenty of other podcasts that provide a dry recitation of statistics and analysis, the Gabfest is great because it provides opinions. The team is very ...

  • stuffed animal scrooge

    When I think of the fun and happiness that I had with my many stuffed animals--each of which had a name and persona--during childhood, I cringe at the thought of having this author as my parent. Yes, I wished upon a star every night that my stuffed animals would come to life, and even to this day when I am fully grown up for many years, I feel sad ...

  • Is it the Gabfest 2nd Anniversary?

    During the closing seconds of this weeks Gabfest, John mentioned that a listener informed the Gabbers that its their 2nd anniversary and they weren't sure if it was. I looked into the matter, and this is what I found. 1. In the ''Slate's Complete Podcast Archive'' page the first Gabfest listed is Nov 4, 2005 2. Doing a search for ''Gabfest'', ...

  • Re: Emily Eating Chocolate...

    John Eating Hamburgers...David Eating Potato Chips...Now that I have your attention... Come on, whats up with the subject title? If your looking for a group photo, I don't know about that. But if you want to know what the Gabbers look like out of curiosity, let me give you the Dr. Zaius warning. ''Don't look for it, ... You may not like what you ...

  • Reclining seats

    The author says that car seats should be designed not go back no more than 10 degrees, and the car companies are being difficult for not making this change. While this could prevent severe injury or death, it's about as practical as saying nobody can swim in the ocean because there are sharks there. It's a noble idea, but people just ...

  • So Called Common Sense

    I find it amazing that even someone who is educated enough to write opinion pieces for Slate thinks that they can breeze through life without ever thinking for themselves and rely on everyone else to insure their own safety and well being. Also, just because there have been lawsuits in the past which back you up only proves that there are more ...

  • Seat Belt Smarts

    You did something stupid and now you are writing an article in a vain attemp at proving that you were not wrong. You probably want warning signs on stoves that say ''caution - may remain hot after turned off''. You are lucky that you didn't slide under the belt.

  • Re: Enough already

    Look, very few people actually read their owners manual (as has been said many times here). The point of it having been said is that most people are not like you. Maybe there should be a separate PSA that tells people to read their manual. Really, though, there is a lot (I mean a lot) of information in the manual, and most of it will never be of ...
