1. LOL My god he looks like a mass murderer in that one. :D

Photoshop some blood splatters on his face, and it would look like he just got done killing someone.

[walldude]

8. He sure has a Ted Bundy thing going there...

Scary :scared:

[JuniperLea]

13. Yep!

[Stephanie]

19. there does seem to be a resemblance

[preciousdove]

47. My thought yesterday was Jeffry Dahmer; (shiver) n/t

[Poiuyt]

51. The difference is that Ted Bundy DIDN'T look like he was about to

bludgeon you with a blunt instrument

[gkhouston]

10. gavels are weapons, too. n/t

[Rex_Goodheart]

2. Hmmm

Looks like an alien to me.

[sui generis]

3. no problem

I have extra strength tin foil on today, I only felt a slight warming and buzzing sensation after gazing deeply. Oh and I might have peed a little.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

5. Oh God..

I have to clean my screen off.

He looks like a kid who went to Catholic school. (From one who knows.)

But then he also looks like Ted Bundy.

[DoYouEverWonder]

43. He reminds me of the alter boys I knew

who would fill their pockets with the money from the collection basket after church.

[iconoclastic cat]

4. "This is like that dream where I look down and I'm not wearing pants!"

[stevedeshazer]

6. Ooohhh noooooo!!!

It's Ted Kennedy up next!!

[peekaloo]

7. Yoda meets Ted Bundy. Dangerous I am.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. E-V-I-L....personified. Must-Be-Filibustered. n/t

[robcon]

11. who's everyone????

I haven't heard anyone talking about Roberts' eyes.

[meisje]

12. Is it mmmmmmmm... I don't know....... SATAN!!!!

[slackmaster]

14. Anyone care to discuss something about him that matters?

Like his legal writings?

Roe v. Wade, anyone? How about states' rights issues? Separation of church and state?

It's pretty sad to see some of you focus on things a person has no control over, like personal appearance or the eagerness of photographers to publish unflattering images of him.

[Sequoia]

20. Okay, post a happy pix then, with an open smile.

If you can find one.

[Stephanie]

21. how about *you* start a thread about his legal writings?

it all matters, bud. all of it. hit em high, hit em low, hit em hard, hit em again.

[soup]

22. Just lookin' for a sense of his soul.

"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country."

George W. Bush

on edit: this statement was regarding Putin.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. Puty! I wuv you!

:loveya: :eyes:

I still hang my Head in shame and disbelief that the idiot ever said that. :( He's so damn embarrassing. :(

[slackmaster]

28. I neither believe nor dis-believe in souls

George W. Bush does because he's a Christian. The concept of a spiritual component with no dimensions doesn't impress me.

[soup]

34. Ok. Substitute trustworthiness.

Quite often, you can look a person in the eyes and tell if they're telling the truth, telling you what they think you want to hear, or flat-out lying.

Will grant you, though, that this is a very unflattering pic to use as an example.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. You go first. We have discussed and discussed and discussed

his legal writings on Roe v. Wade, State's Rights, Seperation of Church and State.

We have discussed all that over and over and over and over again. Right after he was nominated the FIRST time, all that was discussed. If you want to discuss it some more, have at it. No one is stopping you. Start a thread.

[DS1]

25. No, we've all turned into Fristian expert psychologists able to make

judgements based on photos.

:eyes:

[Stephanie]

29. you don't find photos revealing?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4755422&mesg_id=4755422

[DS1]

38. nice try

We all laughed at Bill Frist for making judgements based on video, so I'll laugh at everyone here who thinks they can diagnose psychosis by pictures.

[Stephanie]

40. That thread is about diagnosing COWARDICE

[DS1]

41. You scare me

[Stephanie]

42. boo!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4746182

[DS1]

46. Yep, you're definitely psychotic, I don't even need a picture

to deduce this much

:sarcasm:

[shanti]

31. really

would you say that about *ush too?

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

33. slackmaster, you & I are pretty much alone in this n/t

[marions ghost]

35. faces often reflect

what's in the heart. It's OK to comment on them, esp when bored with the morsels of info we have been fed about this relative unknown who is suddenly lucking into a very BIG promotion. What we DO know about his decisions = not comforting. His face and his demeanor is fair game, as for any political candidate. Roberts will have a lot of political power, even though it may appear on the surface that he is not an "activist judge."

I've noticed that Roberts tends to grimace and look furtive. His eyes appear truly manic at times, his mannerisms do not inspire confidence. I'm not sure what this means, but it is interesting. I see a person who is obsessively concerned with being correct, an authoritarian who puts a lot of pressure on himself and is not very comfortable in front of others. I hope he just has a bad case of performance anxiety and may not turn out to be as dangerous as we fear.

But if he does turn out to be a demon, Swamp Rat's going to have fun with those eyes. :eyes:

[yurbud]

15. quualudes dude

[WiseButAngrySara]

16. EEEK! Thyroid disease, Faked Sincerity with poor acting skills, and evil.

I had to stop listening to the hearings, but left the TV in the living room muted and forgot about it. Everytime I've gone to the kitchen for coffee, and passed the screen, his eyes are bulging in fake earnestness and seriousness. It's quite revealing to watch this phony with the sound Off!

[mshasta]

17. he is a reptilian...

:scared:

[soup]

18. Optical device malfunction?

Role of Optics in Very High Throughput Communication for Parallel Processing
J. Allen Cox
Honeywell Technology Center

>>Since most of these systems are assembled from multiprocessor, memory, and special-purpose digital signal processing chips, the ideal communication bandwidths between them should be ~Terabit/s. Optical parallel data links and free-space switches provide a realistic path to achieve these required data rates. The optical interconnection fabric is in turn enabled by dense "smart pixel arrays" consisting of arrays of vcsels and photodetectors integrated with arrays of micro-optics and further integrated with silicon CMOS circuitry. I will describe several programs at Honeywell to develop the optoelectronic components, most notably the vcsels, as well as the major parallel data link and switch modules. I'll also try to identify several challenging mathematical problems that have been spawned by these technological developments.<<

back to the drawing board.

[ModerateLee]

24. I'm curious about that, too.

After all, can't any of us help how we look... When rightwingnuts harp on some candidate's looks, I've always thought it was the smallest part of the argument against them.

[lpbk2713]

27. I see a similarity here .....

(That's HEDLEY)

[obreaslan]

30. Anyone esle thing this guy looks like Maj. Nelson....

From I Dream of Jeannie???

[kansasblue]

36. Larry Hagman

[ComerPerro]

32. That is just creepy

[DemonFighterLives]

37. He has buggy eyes

The wife has shifty eyes-

[DemonFighterLives]

39. Check out his freaky friday pic at the confirm site

http://www.confirmjudgeroberts.com/

And what the heck is The Judicial Confirmation Network?

[jayctravis]

44. He holds major tension in his jaw and mouth.

I tend to do the same thing.

He has learned to do this to keep from scrunching his eyes. So his eyes say one thing while his mouth positioning betrays his stress level.

[FreedomAngel82]

45. Wow

That's really scary. I think I need my teddybear.

[CelticWinter]

48. All I can say is

spoooooooookkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy....how would you like to live next door to him?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

49. "Is that a wire hanger??"

:yoiks:

[Vinca]

50. Yike! Children of the corn! nt
