I got 83%...woo wo0

Yeah they've been a good start-up. LIke I said, they recruit a lot of BBC journalists who've been BBC trained...an interesting phenomenon.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) Actually, a while ago I was talking with a woman who was working for the gov't in Afghanistan and I asked her what news agency got it the "most right." She said, you're going to laugh, but Al-Jazeera with BBC a close second. Do you know if she meant Al-Jazeera English or Arabic? I listened to an NPR interview with the head of Al Jazeera and they compared the same reports from AJE and AJ, and they were pretty different in terms of language and framing. AJE is recruiting some good talent.

nobody is watching Jim Lehrer? Enjoy your bike sales, bros.

Plus, with Hillary more than being a woman you are talking about a HUGE advantage in name recognition that led, what I believe, what happened in New Hampshire.

I'm just waiting for someone to start looking out for the Swedes. In reality, you are allowed to say whatever you want about people in big cities and you are free from retribution. Just call them a bunch of latte drinking foot rubbin fake tannin ninnyboofs and you are fine. It doesn't matter. It makes sense, since they have all the power. I don't get upset either.

and the case of Harold Ford Jr. So I just don't think it exists. If anything it will be the unknown factor with Obama and name recognition for McCain.

I think it's the martians oppressing Kucinich.

Wellp...mediacom doesn't carry current. Damn it to hell.

tears are streaming down my eyes at the failure of execution of a poll on this thread. Thank god ballots aren't this difficult amirite? Is current tv online and if not do I have current tv?

I'm confused, i thought I made a poll.

What you watchin. I'll be watchin the daily show and Jim Lehrer, for sure.

Hope it's fun for everyone. You guys should have good weather, yesterday was simply brilliant down here in Missouri.

Family Guy is probably the worst show on television nowadays. I found it funny in high school, but i watched a rerun on TBS of the newer ones and I was almost angry it wasted my time with a 15 minute too long joke. Seth MacFarlane isn't smart enough to do political commentary let alone write words on a paper.

I wish I had an old school lever ballot. I had to just fill mine out with marker, and no, it wasn't the magical invisible ink markers from illinois. Overall, If I remember well enough, I prefer my Illinois ballot from 04 over the Missouri ballot, though I didn't not find Missouri's confusing.

Lostfan is that a DC ballot for you or a maryland ballot?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) I voted Obama. I voted Harris for Congress, he is a Republican but that vote is purely symbolic since the incumbent is a Democrat, and my district is one of the bluest parts of a blue state and hasn't had a Republican representative in like 100 years. I also voted for the amendments to the state Constitution, one to allow early voting, the other to allow slots. I voted against all the state constitution amendments. Voted for Judy Baker for congress. She's awesome. I'm reaaallllly hoping she gets in over luetkemeyer who just comes off as insanely idiotic.

I just got back from voting and it reminded me how pissed off I was at this proposition. Prop A in Missouri has been heavily advertised as this great education funding bill, where they tax the casinos and send it to the schools. Pretty great right? Except the Casino lobbies basically wrote it and took off gamble loss restrictions and the schools don't even get very much of an increase. But they throw a bunch of apples up on their web site and teachers who support it, and have commercials with teachers who support it...givng the impression that the teachers unions do, which of course they are appalled at this, but casinos have way more money. And gamblers anonymous is furious and writing these pleading editorials. I hope this f***ing fails. So if you are in MO, PLEASE vote this down.

I knew what I was getting into when I was linked there but I was still shocked. I frankly don't care if it's equivocated on the other side, it was still pretty awful. I'll say this for comments on news sites though, I was shocked to see how high the political discourse was on Al Jazeera English. They have stories where they bring up a topic and say "what do you think" and, I think a lot of their readers are British so it's slanted like that (Al Jazeera English recruits many of their writers from the BBC). It was interesting nonetheless. Albeit Al Jazeera English operates substantially different than the arabic language.

voted this morning. It really does tickle me that such low level positions like county assessor has an affiliation to a national party. I'm pretty happy with everything in Columbia so I kept the incumbents. PLEASE FAIL PROP A!!! PLEASE ANY MISSOURI VOTERS, VOTE NO ON PROP A!
