In the US snooker is a friendlier game [when compared to 8-ball or 9-ball] than dominos in a Puerto Rican neighborhood. I’ve only played snooker in England, but I assume there are snooker clubs that I can’t afford in this country.

and i took it that way. the other was just in case you were going to be as much of a cue sports purist as you were about the dminos. not that i’d complain in either case.

I was dealing with the base meaning of the term, which is to leave the cue ball in a position where your opponent has no direct shot in the next ball.

whig, i went looking for actual snooker videos after linking to this one. there were some nifty snooker tricks too, but that was still the best one i found.

bryan, i first read your comment as “posturing from behind the troops” but whichever, you’re right, that’s what he’s been doing. and we’ve been snookered from the moment he first started campaigning for president.

Actually “snookered” is exactly what the Shrubbery is doing – positioning himself behind the troops and generals so the Dems can’t go after the policy directly.
