Homer Simpson tries to vote for Obama
>> ^thepinky:
Complaining about rigged elections is just plain ol' unhelpful WHINING. Plus it isn't funny, even for liberals.


I think you're misquoting the "honorable" Supreme Court Justice Scalia: Bush won. GET OVER IT.

FWIW, I knew it was a dupe, but I thought it would be rude to discard it myself.

McCain finally doing the right thing.
@thepinky, so Limbaugh's a saint, and those jokes weren't in bad taste because they were jokes intended to put words in the mouths of Democrats, and hence the offensive things he said are really the Democrats' fault, because they are the racists, in Limbaugh's opinion?

You then wonder why people downvote your comments?

Limbaugh would happily call you a feminazi, for daring to speak on his behalf.

Don't be offended by my saying that; it's Limbaugh's fault.

OPEN YOUR MIND -- and your eyes and ears too while you're at it.

$7.5 Trillion for a Transitional Fossil (Science Talk Post)
How about the group that actually witnessed evolution occur under laboratory conditions in bacteria?

http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/dn14094-bacteria-make-major-evolutionary-shift-in-the-lab.html

They could use that money to do more research.

Glenn Beck on the End Game: The New World Order
We used to have a good, stable, strong global currency a few years ago.

It was called the US dollar.

Now, it's crumbling, and people are wanting to dump their reserves in favor of another one.

Which one should they pick? The Euro is the most likely choice, but from what I read the EU is expecting the value of the Euro to drop now too.

Now is a good time to talk about whether or not we should establish a global currency, since a lot of countries want to change the makeup of the currency reserves they have.

I take it Glenn and deedub are opposed. Personally, I don't have any particular aversion to the idea, though I'd go through any proposed plans to ditch the dollar with a fine-toothed comb, as would every economist in the world.

Personally, I don't see how global free trade doesn't lead inevitably to global trade regulation, global courts, global banks, and eventually a global legislature and executive.

I think much is made about the use of the phrase "new world order", as if the three words are capitalized, and refer to a specific, secret plan that all nations' leaders are working towards.

To that I say hogwash.

Big businesses have big sway in this free-market world though. If they all agree it's a good idea, nothing you or I say will stop it.

John McCain's Keating Five Problem In 97 Seconds
^ McCain says in his biography that he was guilty, that it was the worst mistake of his entire political career, and often credits the experience for his turn towards "reform".

It's also an early echo of our current economic crisis.

MarineGunrock and NetRunner interviewed in 1992
I sure was a bright kid back then, even when drunk. Handsome too.

That unibrow still gets me all kinds of chicks. So does the sexy voice. Like moths to the flame, baby, moths to the flame.

Actually in '92 I was too young to vote. I did support Clinton, but all I knew about him was from watching the debates. He was the only one who was actually answering the questions, and giving specifics instead of generalities.

The pot smoking thing seemed kinda cool to me too.

Mostly I remember how little it mattered to me who the President was. Back then, with the Cold War seeming all but over, it just didn't seem to me that there were problems in the world that could compare with my need to a) get a car, and b) get laid.

I figured whoever it was, they probably wouldn't screw things up too bad.

Palin Abused Power but did Not Violate the Law
CNN needs to read the findings more closely.

Abuse of power is unlawful according to Alaska state law.

McCain Supporter Calls Obama Hooligan; McCain Agrees
^ I agree, the Democratic party is to the right of most countries' conservative party.

That's what makes my heads spin about the morons thinking Democrats are socialists.

If you were the Prime Minister Now.. Worst interview ever!
I suspect the interviewee grew up in a French-speaking home, learned English as a second language, and still has trouble with conjugation.

"If you were the Prime Minister today, what would you do differently?"

To which he responds "What time period are you asking about?" because he's focusing on the tense of the verb -- like you would in French -- and being confused by the past tense being used together with "today", because it implies a continuous period of time from an unknown point in the past through today (again, assuming French is your first language).

Still a huge gaffe, but it's a linguistic issue, not a truckload full of stupidity issue (like certain GOP VP candidates).

McCain finally doing the right thing.
I actually shed a tear when I saw this.

Things have just been so horrible for so long, and these guys just seem to keep doubling down on how inhuman they act. To see McCain not just relent, but say "You can trust Senator Obama" gives me hope that America isn't dead after all.

I don't think it's a sign that they're going to stop doing what they've been doing, I don't think it redeems him for what he's been doing, and his history certainly gives me reason to think this personal change of heart is self-serving and not an ethical objection.

But for a little while, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, because I want to believe that maybe, just maybe, there's some shred of humanity in these people.
