McSexist: McCain's War on Women

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
spooky, your point is fatuous. You can use your own argument to say that any number of things should be decriminalized because they don't stop people from breaking the law. And it also fails to appeal to the objection of pro-life people who believe that o … (see comment)

Obama Berlin Speech: The reviews are in: media reactions

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/25/2008
Wasn't this speech supposed to bolster his foreign policy bona fides? From the analysis I've read it just seems that his speech writers cobbled together a bunch of his lines from previous speeches around the US and just inserted "Berlin" in a number of pl … (see comment)

Obama Berlin Speech: The reviews are in: media reactions

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/25/2008
I wouldn't call US foreign policy "Bush's policies." The US has been and will continue to be more unilateral than the European nations. One could argue that the multilateralism of the EU countries relies heavily on the unilateralism of the US. If the US w … (see comment)

Obama Berlin Speech: The reviews are in: media reactions

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
Agreed. The comparison is entirely fatuous. Reagan's speech was incredibly ballsy. He was advised not to use the "tear down this wall" line but disagreed with his advisers and used it anyway. Watching the Reagan speech now we really get to feel its power … (see comment)

Britain Tries to Block European Union Energy Laws

Comment in News (3 diggs, 2 replies) - on 07/25/2008
I'm not exactly sure how wind farms would cut it for the UK. In terms of acreage it would seem to be impossible to even make a dent in their overall energy needs with wind farms. We can't do it in the US and we have a ton more open acreage. It doesn't rea … (see comment)

Obama Berlin Speech: US Foreign Service Workers Instructed N

Comment in News (6 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/25/2008
I think the costs were split 50/50 between his campaign and the German government, if I am remembering correctly. This pissed off a good number of Germans as their portion of the bill was something like 700k Euro. (see comment)

GOP Insider Slams Bush & Party: Just "Phenomenal Arrogance"

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
Keep in mind that this "GOP insider" is a former fundraiser who is now trying to advertise her novel that is supposedly based in large part on her experience inside the GOP. I'm not saying she's completely full of shit, but coincidences like that make you … (see comment)

House Republicans Fire Off Letter To New York Times

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/24/2008
Ok, I don't know if anyone understands this. But I'll give it a go. Politicians don't actually write their own articles! They have 3 or 4 people who work for their campaign knock it out and then give it to the candidate to read. So this has nothing to do … (see comment)

Obama: Iran a "grave threat" and "no options off the table"

Now Obama supporters can do their best Obama impersonations. "This is not the Barack Obama that I knew." (see comment)

Contemporary Definition of Political Correctness.

StevanoskiStevanoski sent a shout to minox   1 day 9 hr ago
No need to go and digg, here is the gist of the winners definition of PC: "Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
