Haven't seen one of these posted, so here it is for some levity. Barack Obama's Facebook Feed The health care summit, CPAC, and Robert Gibbs' tweets. http://www.slate.com/id/2245175/ The part about Patterson is the best.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) I'm sure there are Canadian versions of TRU rooting for the USA. I don't know of any. There are some people of European descent that cheer for their home countries like Russians and Slovakians though.

This is a religious moment in Canada.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 23, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) Hillary Clinton started it all again. Yup, that's the relevant point here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) Except in this case she actually was the leader in the polls and the early primaries. Sarah Palin has led NOTHING. Not even the right wing of the party that supposedly loves her so much, let alone the entire party. I thought I remember Palin being the Vice Presidential nominee? Seriously though, what the hell are you guys really debating here? Can you really blame people in the center right, center, and center-left for being concerned about Palin.

But al-Qaeda didn't even try to cover up their involvement. hehe

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) Who is this woman and what did she do with Dianne Feinstein? Is she facing a primary challenge I don't know about? That's bizarre for her. Soooo... ummmm..... 40 or so Senators to go?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) Right, like the fact that the study focused on his Talking Points segment, which is the soap box portion of the show. Shocker he wouldn't stick to the professional standards of journalism there. I mean i don't want to argue that O'Reilly is better than Olbermann, that he's more of a journalist. I'm just saying that besides from the "that guys stupid" or "that's insane," I've never heard him attack someone with such unsubstantiated vitriol, which had little to do with whatever he was reporting on, and everything to do with his hatred for a certain segment of society. I'm still shocked that no one went after Olbermann for it. He was basically saying "look who these f***tards just elected," and then proceeded to bash him. If someone on Fox News had done that the uproar would have been deafening. Jon Stewart went after Keith for that rant, and so did I in this thread.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) Maddow is opinionated but not crazy. Olbermann is definitely pretty off. Olbermann is entertaining in the same way I assume O'Reilly is entertaining to some on the right. With Maddow, at least I sometimes feel like I learned something.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) i've seen him on TV before. He's is legit crazy. If it means keeping Hayworth out, and that's genuinely why McCain is being so lame, then I guess the means justify the end.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) I finally finished the article. In a nutshell, the rational that he could win . . . Governor of a large GOP state Texas' economy is doing rather well Guess who is Finance Chair for the Republican Governor's Association? Perry, which gives him access to national money. He's a battler and survivor So my GOP buddies, he could be your guy. Perry - Palin '12 With all due respect, I thought Republicans were supposed to be wrapping their heads around winning over voters who live in these things called cities. Perry and Palin?

I would say no. If you're really annoyed about it thought I'm sure there's some pretty sweet kits out there. You should just consider yourself lucky you have a car at all.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 01:12 PM) "I love you Ozzie, but man, I'm not going to switch to an all-Venezuelan diet. I mean, I just don't see how that will help."

So when the Court strikes down reasonable, bi-partisan, and popular legislation just whom are the activist judges?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) perhaps it's because they sell out everyone under 30 when they govern. Or perhaps young people are generally ignorant morons who get the government they deserve.

American politics are strange.

Canadian Democracy: Multiculturalism and Citizenship Seminar on Public Administration

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) Switching topics. Kinda. One of the recommendations of the 9/11 commission was for Congress to work to streamline the process of handing over between administrations, because the several months it took for the Bush administration to get its people named, confirmed, and briefed on national security issues was one of many contributing factors to why the 9/11 attacks were able to happen. The Dems have even larger Senate majorities than the Republicans did, so getting that right should be easy, right? Sigh. Maybe if they appointed Chan Gailey to some position, that'd get approved. Why can't they get these f***ing positions filled then?

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) This doesn't sound like fear at all.... In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees," MSNBC host Keith Olbermann said I'm bitter about this special election and am left wondering if a left of center President can get much of anything accomplished in the current environment, but these comments by Olbermann are complete nonsense. I haven't paid close attention to Scott Brown but upon glancing over his wikipedia page, the only one of those comments that seem true is the "ex-nude model." Olbermann is just angry and bitter and in this instance the argument that MSNBC is just as bad as Fox News is correct. If Brown is elected, hopefully he will turn out to be an independent and moderate conservative. Not sure he could last if he became a predictable and reliable conservative vote.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 08:07 AM) Watched The Devil's Rejects last night. Not as good as 1000 Corpses IMO but solid nonetheless. Whoa, I thought the Devils Rejects was great. Top notch. 1000 Corpses is nowhere near for me, but it's still special in its own way.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 10:52 AM) Not in the least. You know as well as I do what the Dems reaction would be, it'd be to shun everyone who tries to stand for anything and go back to following the Republican line on everything. It's really kind of remarkable. The Republicans lose an election, and they lurch even more to the right (Palin, Limbaugh). The Dems look at losing an election, and suddenly they lurch even more to the right (why oh why did we try healthcare? aieee) Does every Republican win or loss, or Democrat win or loss always have to be attributed to whether or not they've swung too far to the right or too far too the left. Ugh...
