Great Spoof of New Yorker Obama Cover With John McCain!

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/23/2008
i can see where you're coming from but try to look at it this way. the media DID call the fist-bump a "terrorist fist bump". some people DO think Obama = Osama = Muslim and some people DO think barack is a secret muslim trying to infiltrate the whitehou … (see comment)

Obama = Hitler, writes newspaper's guest columnist

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/18/2008
not meant to be argumentative, but just a clarification: NY Cover = intelligent satire... for me, read/comprehend leads to accepting this article = very interesting read... for me, read/comprehend leads to rejecting moral: avoid knee-jerk reactions to i … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/17/2008
i read it more as, taking the current situation of a stable Linux/Mac user who opens up Fusion/Parallels/Wine to play Crysis or something, and finding the analogous business solution. considering both VMware and Parallels have server visualization softwa … (see comment)

Obama = Hitler, writes newspaper's guest columnist

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 07/17/2008
other readers' likely outrage and anger notwithstanding, i found it a very interesting read. but then again, i also thought the cartoon cover was an intelligent and witty hyperbolic satire. being able to read/comprehend a new and different (and often co … (see comment)

What about Bob? GOP mum on Barr

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 07/11/2008
Bob Barr just doesn't sit well with me; i don't know if it's his all-too-recent neocon-ish past or the favorable attention he get's from the media (especially when contrasted with RP). as far as Baldwin and the CP is concerned, every damn thing i read ab … (see comment)

Americans: How Ignorant Are We?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/03/2008
it reminds of one of 'the man show's few funny bits. they stood outside in NYC and got women to sign a petition to "end woman's suffrage". they got so many signatures it was appallingly hilarious. (see comment)

Americans: How Ignorant Are We?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/03/2008
i'm completely with you; our current systems of media and government were designed as the best solutions given the difficulty of travel, administration, and communication over great distances. i think technologically we are at a point (or very close) whe … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/02/2008
